Hi All, I put up a beta5 up at http://www.csounds.com/steven/blue. I was unable to test this version on MacOSX as the computer I have access to only has Java 1.3.1 (it's got OSX 10.1.5 installed). Unfortunately, I haven't tested in a while and it seems that the propertysheet component which I'm using for BlueSynthBuilder requires at least java 1.4. (That's my assumption, at least, from looking at the error message). So, I was also unable to test if the help system worked or not on OSX either. On Linux, I did test the installer as well as the help system and it worked correctly. I have been wanting to drop support for java 1.3.1 and move to using java 1.4+ as a minimum; I guess it may already be the case. If this is so (I need to research if the error message indicated really means that java 1.4+ is required), then I will start using all of the java 1.4 features. This is not such a bad thing I think as java 1.4 has been around at least a year and a half, if not longer, and java 5 (1.5) is already in late beta testing. On the other hand, if anyone needs 1.3.1 compatibility, I can also refrain from moving forward on this and instead investigate into getting things to work. Otherwise, some neat features and bugs fixed. Thanks Francisco for the bug report and the student at Berklee who requested the TimeDisplay so long ago! (Sorry it took so long!) Thanks and enjoy! steven >Notes for 0.94.0 beta 5< [released 2004.08.20] blue [new] - added CheckBox object to blueSynthBuilder instrument; outputs either 1 or 0 value depending if selected or not [new] - added links on help menu to "Report a Bug" and "Request a Feature" [new] - added timeDisplay and timeUnit properties to PolyObject; editable from popupMenu where Snap is edited, it allows to change how time is displayed at top time bar, whether to show units as time or simply numbers, and at what increment (integer value); by setting timeDisplay to "Number", and unit to 4, one's time view can be more like bars rather than time [new] - BlueSynthBuilder - while editing code, pressing ctrl-shift-space will pop open a list of objectNames, taken from the UI objects in the interface editor; selecting objectName from popup will insert object name already formatted (i.e. selecting "amplitude" objectName will insert "<amplitude") [updated] - Knob value display for blueSynthBuilder now limited to display 7 characters (no ...'s) [updated] - when rendering, status bar shows messages of "Generating CSD...", "Rendering CSD...", and "Finished Rendering CSD" [fix] - typo in PMask file score.py, sent in by Francisco Vila [fix] - Blue did not parse tied notes correctly; blue tried to look for negative values on p2 instead of p3 |

BTW: If anyone on OSX can help me out by trying the "Request a Feature" and "Report a Bug" options from the Help menu with the latest release, I'd appreciate it greatly. It'll take me some time to update my girlfriend's laptop to OSX 10.3 before I can test blue on OSX again, and I'm not sure if the command I used to open URL's on OSX will work. (It works for me when I do OSX dev with Director, so I think this should work.) Thanks, steven |

hi steven, just got around to this. i'm using beta 6 with mac OSX 10.2.8 the "request a feature" and "report a bug" both work fine. trying to use the other help (e.g. user manual, etc) gives: java.lang.NullPointerException take care, paris On Saturday, August 21, 2004, at 02:12 AM, stevenyi wrote: > BTW: If anyone on OSX can help me out by trying the "Request a Feature" > and "Report a Bug" options from the Help menu with the latest release, > I'd appreciate it greatly.

Hi Paris, Thanks for the feedback on OSX. Glad to know those two features work and that I won't have to worry about them. As for the User Manual, I'm disappointed that that doesn't work. I will look into it on Monday at work as there's an OSX jaguar and panther systems in the office and will try to find out what's going on. Thanks very much for your response! steven On Sat, 2004-08-28 at 21:27, Paris wrote: > hi steven, > > just got around to this. > i'm using beta 6 with mac OSX 10.2.8 > > the "request a feature" and "report a bug" both work fine. > > trying to use the other help (e.g. user manual, etc) gives: > java.lang.NullPointerException > > take care, > paris > > > > On Saturday, August 21, 2004, at 02:12 AM, stevenyi wrote: > > > BTW: If anyone on OSX can help me out by trying the "Request a Feature" > > and "Report a Bug" options from the Help menu with the latest release, > > I'd appreciate it greatly.

Hi Paris, I upgraded my girlfriend's laptop to OSX 10.2.8 and java 1.4.1 and used the blue installer to install blue 0.94.0 beta6. I also had a previous version of beta 5 there. Both of them ran and both had the manual working. Did you use the installer jar when installing blue? Also, did you move the blue directory after installing? Either way, if you have the time, could you send me the complete error message (everything from java.lang.NullPointerException and on) as that will help me very much to diagnose what is wrong. Thanks and sorry this isn't working for you! steven p.s. - I think I will write a script tomorrow to create a web version of the help from the javahelp that I use, and I will host that on my website. At least this will be easily accessible in the meantime while I diagnose the bug that you are having. > trying to use the other help (e.g. user manual, etc) gives: > java.lang.NullPointerException |
