File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.2.4

Notes:
Release 1.2.4 of Rosegarden is a bug-fix release that fixes several issues
with the prior 1.2.3.  It includes no new features apart from one new
translation (Finnish).


Changes: Bug fixes include, briefly: * Avoid crash on startup if /dev/snd/seq does not exist * Fix incorrect sequencer status report ("no driver") * Fix MIDI Text Marker export * Fix text encoding for Lilypond 2.6 (UTF8 instead of ISO-8859-1) * Fix stuck notes in matrix after pressing a stop button * Fix crash when erasing a duplicated key signature * Fix crash when switching documents with a tempo editor window open * Fix incorrect sorting and insertion logic in marker editor * Fix hang in main canvas when a segment has zero duration * Fix audio preview display for repeating audio segments * Update percussion matrix when a different drum mapping is selected * Avoid crash when deleting a device with percussion matrix open * Fix matrix display for notes outside range of current key mapping * Ensure correct segment is acted on when clicking overlapping segments * Fix sequencer crash when playing back tiny audio files * Avoid display hang when too many segments overlap * Fix several build system bugs, and compilation with gcc-4.1.2 This release also includes several new MIDI device definition (.rgd) files, as well as updates for Catalan, Russian, Swedish, Czech and Italian translations and a completely new Finnish translation. Finally, with this release the name of the project has officially changed to Rosegarden. Formerly it was referred to as Rosegarden-4 in order to mark the current application as newer than the long-obsolete "Rosegarden 2.1", a quite different and more basic application. We have been phasing out the use of the 4 suffix in online documentation and other places, and we have now officially dropped it. Whereas the previous release was "Rosegarden-4 v1.2.3", this release is "Rosegarden v1.2.4". Any remaining references to Rosegarden-4 are bugs.
