samaaron/sonic-pi: Version 2.11.1 - 'Hack'

16th Dec, 2016 (view commits)

This is primarily a maintainance release containing a number of bug fixes and minor tweaks. The feature set remains unchanged from v2.11.

One of the core bugs fixed in this release is an issue with the return key within some Japanese layouts. Another important change is the unification of the font on all platforms to Hack. This is from the same family as Menlo and Bitstream Vera (the previous fonts for Mac and Linux respectively) and a dramatic improvement to the Courier font previously used for Windows.

• Move all platforms to the same font - Hack.
• Improve initial log information and messages.
• The scope axes are no longer shown by default for a cleaner look and feel.

• Add new MagPi article on sample stretching.

• Ensure chord_invert's shift value is a whole number - otherwise it is possible to get into an infinite recursion.
• Ensure thread locals have correct default values on clear. When a run is created, the thread is given a set of default thread locals. Previously clear removed all thread locals. Now, we reset the thread locals to the defaults for a brand new thread.
• Fix line reported on syntax error.
• Fix unknown synth error message.
• sync can once again handle multiple cues correctly.
• Fix boot issues for users that don't have a standard /etc/hosts file that contains an entry for localhost.
• sample_duration now handles onsets, slices and sustain.
• Fix issue with return key not being recognised with Japanese keyboards.
• Fix sporadic flickering of current line on Raspberry Pi.
• Fix errors in buffer 0 being reported as being from buffer 3.
• Fix scrollbar background colour on Windows in dark mode.
• Improve error message reported when required ports are not available at boot.
• Fix issue with calling control on a chord group.
• Fix rand and rand_i to honour their arguments.
