[Guidolib-announce] guidolib v.1.46

[Dominique F. <fo...@gr...>]

Hi,

A new version of the Guido Engine Library, applications and tools are available from the sourceforge files section. 
The main changes are:
- export to svg 	: embedded in GuidoEditor or available using guido2svg command line tool
- export to midifile 	: embedded in GuidoEditor or available using guido2midi command line tool
This version has been purged from all memory leaks and should be more robust to syntax errors
In addition, several bugs (crash bugs or incorrect rendering) have been corrected.
The Max and PureData external have also been updated to run with this version.
See the change log for details and read the IMPORTANT NOTE below.

Best,

===================
  IMPORTANT NOTE:
===================
- the guido font (guido2.ttf) has been modified: you should install the new version for a correct rendering (automatically done on ubuntu)
- for developers: up to now, it was possible to release the ARHandler and GRHandler (using GuidoFreeAR and GuidoFreeGR) in any order but that was a side effect of memory leaks. Now, you should release them in the reverse order of allocation (i.e. call GuidoFreeGR first and next GuidoFreeAR)
