What's new in BpmDJ 4.2-pl4
Sep 5, 2012
- Compiles on Ubuntu 11.10.
New in BpmDJ 4.2 (May 30, 2011)
- New Features:
- Allowing different playrates per soundcard
- Bugs fixed:
- Modifications to the taglist could lead to a program crash.
- ALSA latency issues would lead the program to crash when setting a cue.
- Other Changes:
- Branched midi bindings and external clock off into their own branch.
New in BpmDJ 4.0 (Jun 2, 2009)
- New Features:
- Added a new beatgraph visualization method based on detecting the primary frequency band
- Added better process management through an overseer process.
- The selector's fragment player does no longer hold on to the DSP device if not necessary.
- Improved the dsp_none driver by avoiding the creation of new threads
- Transformed all old Qt User Interface files (ui3->ui4)
- Added a configuration useable for ubuntu (we hope)
- Tap tempo measurement takes playrate into account instead of resetting it to the normal tempo
- Bugs fixed:
- The problem that ALSA drivers were not always closed before starting a player has been solved, although it is a problem deeply embedded in ALSA. and not related to BpmDj as such. (In practice whan a process forks off a playing PCM handle, it has no way of releasing it. This has been reported to the ALSA developers. Let's hope they deal with it in a sensible manner: E.g: assign some solid semantics to whether a PCM device is or is not shared accross processes)
- starting the checkers on machines under heavy load could crash due to an unpause of the dsp_none driver.
New in BpmDJ 3.9 (Mar 7, 2009)
- A low latency JACK driver was added.
- The possibility to let bpmplay emit a JACK bar/beat clock or to receive it from another source was added.
