[Ardour-Users] Ardour 6.0-rc1 tagged

[Paul Davis]

It’s been a productive 3 weeks since we tagged the current code as
“6.0-pre1”. Roughly 400 or so commits (changes) later, we’re now marking
the current code as “6.0-rc1”, which means:

   1.

   no more translatable string changes before release (i.e. no major
   user-visible changes). Translators can now finish their work with high
   confidence that if they complete a translation, there will be no need to
   revisit it before 6.0 is released.
   2.

   No substantial changes between now and the release of 6.0

We welcome bug reports and feature requests on tracker.ardour.org as
always. Nightly builds of the full version continue to be available to
subscribers at nightly.ardour.org (non-subscribers can get the free/demo
from there if they wish to try it out).

Two notable “newish” features that have landed since pre1 are

   -

   Ardour now supports web interfaces via a websocket and JSON protocol.
   Luciano Iam was responsible for this work, and has already added a couple
   of demo “web pages” to show browser control of Ardour. We imagine/hope that
   this new “control surface” support will expand significantly during the
   post-6.0 development process. Start Ardour, enable websocket surface
   support, and point your browser at http://localhost:3818/ … then get
   busy with some HTML/CSS/JS. It must be stressed that this all preliminary
   work, and is not considered “finished”. However, it is open for significant
   contributions by non-C++ developers now.
   MIDI editing keybindings (shift notes in time and pitch, change
   velocities etc. etc.) are now all user-definable rather than hard-coded.
   The key editor now provides a handy reference for keyboard shortcuts when
   editing MIDI notes.
