Please check that I have not missed anything.  I know I have omitted
a number of git commits that I do not understand -- I suspect they are
related to CsoundAC

Notes for 5.18
==============
This is mainly a bug-fixing release but with a number of new opcodes and
enhanced features. 
New Opcodes:
    log2 function to calculate logarithm base 2
    joystick to read input values (Linux only)
    platerev, a physical model from Stefan Bilbao
    vbap opcode is a generalisation of the various fixed number of
        channels
    vbapg opcode is like vbap except just calculates gains
    pwd opcode to obtain the working directory
    readf/readfi to read strings from a file
    centroid opcode (like pvscent but acting on audio signals)
New Gen and Macros:
    NONE
Score
    NONE
  
Modified Opcodes and Gens:
      New features in partikkel
          - panning law for channelmasks can now be set using a
            function table (second optional arg to partikkel) 
          - new support opcodes partikkelget and partikkelset, to
            access and modify the internal mask indices of partikkel 
      follow2 was reworked do the i-rate and k-rate calculations are
          the same
      pvscent corrected as it returned half the correct value
      vbaplsinit can create more than one speaker layout which
          vbap/vbapg can use.  Also much better diagnostics on
          incorrect layouts
Utilities
        csbeat: internal fixes to remove crashing 
  
Frontends
      CsoundAc has seen considerable developments
  
Bugs fixed:
    dates could crash on 64bit architecture
    Some multicore interlocks were wrong
    Some files could be closed twice, leading to a crash
    
System Changes:

| Hi John, I have a little request please, if this exists already I don't know about it. Any chance of an opcode similar to linseg but with cosine interpolation with a user-defined interpolation value? (One for all the segments.) Many Thanks Peiman On 23 August 2012 10:58, john ffitch <jpff@codemist.co.uk> wrote: Please check that I have not missed anything. I know I have omitted  |

| Correction: I mean one opcode with cos interpolation, and another with a user defined interpolation value where 0 means linear. Higher value exponential and negative values approaching logarithmic.      Thanks P On 23 August 2012 11:05, peiman khosravi <peimankhosravi@gmail.com> wrote: Hi John,  |

| This would be important and very useful.  Seems and extension of Transeg - which I would love to see/use/have too. ___________________________________ Dr. Richard Boulanger, Ph.D. Professor of Electronic Production and Design Professional Writing and Music Technology Division Berklee College of Music 1140 Boylston Street Boston, MA 02215-3693 617-747-2485 (office) 774-488-9166 (cell) ____________________________________ ____________________________________ On Aug 23, 2012, at 6:28 AM, jpff@cs.bath.ac.uk wrote: Hi John,  |

| I think it would also be very useful to have a new table-generator that allows segments with different interpolation values for each segment. Best, Peiman On 23 August 2012 11:35, Dr. Richard Boulanger <rboulanger@berklee.edu> wrote:

Having trouble with cosseg t present -- think it needs a complete redesign.

| It's not. This just goes to show my ignorance. So it's already there, no idea why I never found this!  Thanks Peiman On 23 August 2012 12:34,  <jpff@cs.bath.ac.uk> wrote:
