What's new in Frescobaldi 1.1.4:

July 28th, 2010

· Fix Point and Click when running from 'run' script

What's new in Frescobaldi 1.1.3:

July 26th, 2010

General:
· Tabs can be reordered (can be turned off)
· Tabs don't get automatic shortcuts, they sometimes conflict with ours
· the right tool dock has been made slightly larger by default

New: Session Management, in two ways:
· Basic session management: if you log out with Frescobaldi running and then back in, Frescobaldi will reopen the documents that were open at logout.
· Advanced named session support. A session defines a list of open documents, and optionally a base directory. More features will be added later to be able to use this as a light-weight project tool.

Context sensitive LilyPond help:
· added support for internals reference: contexts, grobs and engravers

Bugfixes:
· Fix crash when editing toolbars

Installation:
· A 'run' script has been added to run Frescobaldi from the tarball (or even SVN) without installing.
· Using CMake out-of-source is now easier: icons and translations are not rebuilt anymore so the Frescobaldi install procedure does not need LilyPond and 'convert' (from ImageMagick) anymore. The icons and translations are in the prebuilt/ directory. Simply removing this directory restores the old behaviour (useful when you want to develop Frescobaldi from a release tarball, although a fresh SVN checkout is recommended in that case).

Translations:
· Dutch updated by Wilbert Berendsen
· Turkish updated by Server Acim

What's new in Frescobaldi 1.1.2:

July 8th, 2010

· New 'Close other' action to close all documents except the current
· Print and View icons in the toolbar to print music and open PDF and MIDI files in their external helper applications

Printing:
· Printing generated PDF files now uses a print dialog, instead of just sending the PDF to the 'lpr' command.

Run LilyPond:
· warn if the document contains a conflicting point and click setting

General:
· print and email actions have moved to the File menu
· close button on document tabs (can be turned off in Settings->Editor Comp.)
· warnings and notifications have a "dont ask again" checkbox, and can be turned back on in the settings
· progress indicator saves the build time in document metainfo

Autocompletion:
· only popup completions from the expansion manager on blank lines

Settings dialog:
· the settings have been organized in more logical groups

Installation:
· building the icons from SVN or out-of-source requires LilyPond >= 2.13.19

Translations:

· Italian updated by Gianluca D'Orazio

What's new in Frescobaldi 1.0.2:

What's new in Frescobaldi 1.0.0:

December 27th, 2009

Editor:
· Right-click menu action on include command now opens the named file from
· the LilyPond data directory if that exists and there is no local file with
· that name.

Repeat last expression (Ctrl+;):
· Doesn't repeat normal rests and skips, but rather the chord preceding it
· Keeps the
est when repeating a pitched rest (e.g. c
est)
· Only removes the octave from the repeated pitch (or from the first pitch
· of the repeated chord) inside
elative music expressions

Blank staff paper tool:
· option to remove small "FRESCOBALDI.ORG" tagline at bottom

Score Wizard:
· Fix lyrics not added if there is only one staff (reported by M. Moles)

Quick Insert Panel:
· If cursor is inside a chord, note or rest, the cursor is positioned right
· after the chord, note or rest before the articulation is inserted (if there
· is no selection, in which case the articulation is inserted after all
· chords, notes or rests). So now you can click a note in the PDF and directly
· click a button to add an articulation or ornament etc. without repositioning
· the cursor manually.

PDF preview:
· Action in contextmenu to reload PDF document

General:
· Fix crash on moving tools around
· Fix crash on exit on some systems with multiple updated documents open
· Work around crash on logging out from the built-in terminal and then hiding
· and re-showing it, that occurs due to a bug in SIP 4.9.1

· expansions from the Expansion dialog are shown
Score Wizard:

General bugfixes and improvements:
· When quitting, the last seen documents, starting with the current, are
· closed first. This way, if the user cancels the quit, the current document
· (if modified) remains the same.
· Files can be opened by dropping them on the Frescobaldi window
· Fix crash when swichting to a document opened using the Open File dialog
· when multiple files were opened at the same time
· All pitch manipulation functions better detect the end of unbracketed markup
· expressions like: g g g-markup sharp g g g. Frescobaldo now knows the
· number of arguments each markup command has and will not mistake the g after
· sharp for a markup argument.
Installation:
· building and installing the User Guide has been improved. If meinproc4 or
· the XSL stylesheets can't be found, only a warning is printed and the cache
· file (index.cache.bz2) is not pre-generated, but the install will continue.
· (If there is no cache file, KHelpcenter will generate one on a per-user
· basis as soon as the User Guide is displayed for the first time.)

What's new in Frescobaldi 0.7.12:

July 2nd, 2009

· It is now possible to run LilyPond on remote documents and documents that have not been saved yet. In such cases Frescobaldi internally saves the LilyPond file to a local temporary directory. Point and click also works on remote or unnamed documents. This makes it easy to paste something from an email and run
· LilyPond immediately, without bothering to save it first under a suitable file name. The local cache is deleted when the document is closed or saved to a directory on the local file system.
· It is now possible to configure external applications for PDF and MIDI files.
· These will then be used instead of the KDE default configured applications.
· New align action (LilyPond->Source Document->Indent) that properly indents a document or selection of lines. This indenter is a bit more robust than the one built into KatePart. The Score Wizard and Expand Manager now also use the
· users indentation settings, instead of always using two spaces indent.
· New shortcuts to insert nice typographical quotes: Ctrl+' for single and
· Ctrl+" for double quotes. Left and right quotes are automatically determined.
· If text is selected, the selected text is put between quotes.
· Repeat last note/chord: only keep articulations and ties.

Bug fixes:
· Smart Point and Click remains working if pitches are translated
· Text editor keeps keyboard focus again when clicked in PDF preview
· Rumor plugin more stable in keyboard mode and stops cleanly if running on Frescobaldi exit

Translations:
· French updated by David Bouriaud (thanks!)
· Dutch updated by self

· Stability improvements

What's new in Frescobaldi 0.7.10:

June 10th, 2009

Editor:
· Context sensitive context (right-click) menu with, besides the usual cut, copy and paste, commands to open include file, hyphenate lyrics and Cut & Assign text (if selected)
· The Cut & Assign command (Ctrl+Shift+C) now obeys inputmodes. If you e.g. cut out some lyrics, the fragment will automatically be wrapped in a lyricmode { } block.
· Autocompletion for accidental styles
User Interface:
· new document tab bar for easy navigation between open files, can be hidden
· when running LilyPond and the option 'Save document when LilyPond is run' is enabled, the Save As dialog is displayed when the document has no filename yet.
