work in progress...

solfege.dev revno 1524

• Fix stupid string formatting bug that broke the preferences window for all that run in non-C-locale
• Tweak help/C/lessonfiles.xml
• mpd: Give better error messages if \key or \time is used before \staff.
• Make two file menu item strings unicode, since the translation did not work ok with the ellipsis char if not make u'unicode string'
• More user friendly labels in the random transpose dialog.
• music() objects are MpdTransposable

3.15.8 February 27, 2010

solfege.dev revno 1513

• Fix some bad english: cadense -> cadence, tritonus -> tritone, notename -> note name, mailinglists -> mailing lists Translators: i'm sorry-sorry-sorry, but it gets worse the longer I wait.
• ExercisesMenuAddIn: translate the final menu item
• Fixed and marked some splashwin strings for translation. Removed one splash message that was displayed for so short time that it was useless.
• Added missing colon to a preferences window label.
• bugfix: the front page did not allow link texts to pages to be truncated if they where too wide.
• rhythm-mid and rhythm-all: swap two buttons
• Add ellipsis after two entries on the File menu and the button used to change random transposition.
• Add import filter for learning tree files format 2 and the original format from solfege 3.2.2
• Add extra check to check_rcfile() to that running old versions and 3.15 wont set bogus value for the app/frontpage variable.
• Removed solfege/tree.py and some other unused code.
• lessonfile_editor_main.py: fix the file so is is valid python syntax. The editor is still totally useless.
• Prefix the "Key" string so it can be translated better. "Key" have at least two different meanings, keyboard keys and tonality.
• Fix random transpose dialog return value.
• abstract: change button label from "Change…" to "Change ..." since the last already exist and is translated to many languages.
• Reorder the directories listed by pressing F8 since the user manual will refer to the first directory in the list: ~/.exercises/user/lesson-files
• idtone: fix config page packing
• Updates to idtone user manual and update the introduction in the "Extending GNU Solfege" chapter.
• deprecated: filesystem.user_lessonfiles
• Added Estonian translations. Updates to the German, Dutch, Polish and Turkish user manual. help/Makefile: Add missing defines for some languages
• Added "Compare melodic intervals" exercise
• File->Recent Exercises will show the topic in addition to the exercise name, since only the name has too little context. For example "Seconds" can be both melodic, harmonic etc.

fpeditor:

• add button to delete section. Closes bug #163
• forgot to add the code that saves the front page title.
• right-click on links to reorder them.
• make the back button insensitive when we are on the first page.
• make the back button insensitive when there is no more history.
• Added message at the bottom of the fpeditor save_as dialog mentioning where front page files have to be saved. Let us descide if we need this.
• right-click to edit lesson files. Add gui to the preferences window to select editor.
• change default save dir from ~/.solfege/exercises/ to ~/.solfege/exercises/user/
• Move front page title from dialog to the editor window.
• popupmenu should have "edit" insensitive if we are not clicking on a link to a file.
• register_paste_button should also make the new button insensitive if the clipboard is empty

• Renamed label "Training Set Editor" to "Export Exercises to Audio Files"
• make-release: support unlimited level of subpatchlevels.
• fix po/Makefile so xgettext extracts messages from the lesson files again.

• Added octave, ninth and tenth intervals to the csound intonation exercises.
• Decim->Tenth replace. How could this ever get in???
• Documented "expert mode" more precicely
• don't let the exercises we can configure ourselves dump a traceback when we click the statistics page.

3.15.5 December 23, 2009

solfege.dev revno 1432

• test-revision-id.py was broken. Had to add "." to sys.path.
• Don't change docbook lang from nb to no. Docbook seems to be updated to the new language code now.
• added make-release.py script
• rcfile: split XXX_player info XXX_player and XXX_player_options
• default.config: default value for app/frontpage
• Front page editor:
  • don't throw an exception when opening the current working directory.
  • don't try to show the Editor window if constructing it failed.
  • Change default save_as dir. Always open the save_as dialog in a dir below user_data()
  • allow to select multiple lesson files when adding exercises.
  • An earlier fpeditor bug had caused some norwegian strings to be inserted into some front page files.
• Move the standard lesson files and front page files from exercises/ to exercises/standard/ We do this to make it possible to support system wide extra exercises installed into /usr/share/solfege/exercises later.
• Sort statistics again.
• Remove the help browser and htmlwidget code.
• rhythmtapping.py: simplify get_answer_status()
• Add spin button to adjust the accuracy required when answering rhythm tapping exercises.
• Simplify utils.play_note and utils.play_perc
• Bugfix to statistics code. Could be triggered by practising just a few questions in the "Sing interval" exercise.
• twelvetone: use config/default_bpm as tempo
• winbuild.sh: adjust to reality since it now uses get-gtk-files.py
• win32: use newer gtk libs. Small tweaks to get-gtk-files
• Adjust the Help->File locations info box

3.15.4 November 14, 2009

solfege.dev revno 1388

• get_percentage_correct() made idtone fail
• fix the windows port, so that winsynth works again.
• minor i18n and unicode fixes
• front page editor: there was a bug that saved translated strings as C locale strings.
• ClickableLabel: set both filename and label in the LinkButton constructor call. Pygtk 2.16 in ubuntu karmic seems to requrie this.
• generate_lessonfiles.py: Write C locale headings, not translated messages. This probably fixes http://bugs.solfege.org/146.
• Ear training printout outputting html: don't use the lilypond-book 'relative' option since the way we used it was not portable to lilypond 2.12.
• Don't raise an exception if user_lessonfiles() does not exist.
• Don't change docbook lang from nb to no. Docbook seems to be updated to the new language code now.
• added check button to hide piano keyboard shortcuts
• ear training printout html report: save using the codecs module and set the html content-type to utf-8

3.15.3 October 20, 2009

solfege.dev revno 1368

• just to give you the warm fuzzy feeling of running a development release, 3.15.3 will reimport the statistics from the 3.14 branch, dropping all statistics from 3.15.1 and 3.15.2. This because of database changes.
• tests bugfix: handle 'Cancel' after one questions was answered.
• frontpage editor: set the filename as tooltip text for links to exercises.
• Added tests for the scale exercises.
• TestView: Show if tests are passed, and the result.
• Editors using EditorDialogBase (for example the front page editor) should display a message if trying to save to a write protected directory.
• Refer to lesson files and front page files by a simple filename instead of lesson_ids and tuples to differentiate between user and solfege files.
• User lesson files should be placed in ~/.solfege/exercises/collectionname/lesson-files/ instead of ~/lesson-files
• Don't import gtk in utils.py since this is problematic for headless builds. Moved parse_key_string to solfege.gu
• fakesynth.py: use logging.debug(...) instead of print. This will avoid the "bad filedescriptor" problem.
• lessonfile.CmdLine: cwd should be the directory containing the lessonfile.
• Added F8 - "User lesson files" that lists all the lesson files the user has installed in his home directory
• Makefile: fix install/uninstall target when swig is not installed

3.15.2 August 18, 2009

• Lots of small cleanups, 206 commits. I don't have the time to summarise all of it.

solfege.dev revno 1082

3.15.0 April 7, 2009

solfege.dev revno 1033

• tools/create_depgraph.py: added -g option that will call all programs and display the png using eog.
