Canorus / News: Recent posts

Even though activity on sourceforge is lower than on github you should not miss out our latest changes!

Support for chord names with printing support has been added. User can put a chord name using the lilypond syntax (e.g. cis:m for C# minor) and is parsed. If there is a syntax error, the note checks underlines it accordingly. See the screenshot below.

Also under the hood a lot of changes are done to make Canorus more stable.

Canorus team has migrated from SVN versioning system to git hosted by github.com. We have also migrated releases, files, bugs and feature requests. In addition we are planning to revive the wiki as the new Canorus homepage.

Please pull Canorus code from the new git repository and use github's issue tracker to submit new bugs and feature requests. Old code repository and issue tracker hosted by sourceforge will be turned off in the upcoming weeks.

It's finally here - Canorus 0.7.3rc3. It contains all the changes we have done during LAC. You can download it from the Files section.

We have plans to publish another release candidate to address pycli not working with python-3 and some other bug fixes.

Please make sure to report any issues with the ticket system. If you need any help please ask on the Canorus User Mailing List or use the Discussion Forums.

Since our own build service broke we have not provided any binaries for Windows - sorry about that. Window support as well as Mac support are both still available and we try to help anybody having issues with it's own build.

During LAC we have been able to create a Windows executable again (a few issues on the build system were fixed for that) using mingw. Unfortunately Qt Company has issues delivering a mingw binary with QtWebEngine, so we have added support to use an external browser showing the html help file. ... read more

A few days before LAC 2018 in Berlin (which was a great event as everytime I attended) we have released 0.7.3rc2 that contained all changes (mainly fixes) from the last year. On LAC additionally we did a large amount of changes so we are going to release 0.7.3rc3 soon.

Canorus is now even more stable and usable as before. We have gathered a smaller amount of bug list that we want to fix until 0.8 (and all additional ones that will be reported until then). Also we have a larger amount of features to be done by us or anybody else who wants to contribute to the development.... read more

The Bug tracking was moved to Sourceforge. I only moved open bugs and
the bugs that can be reproduced in some way.

I've added comments to all the bugs I have not moved why we cannot
reproduce the problem.

From now on please use the bug tracking on Sourceforge:

The bug tracking on Berlios will be shut down on the next weekend.
New bugs will no longer be accepted on Berlios (silently closed).
