Hi All,

I'd like to announce that blue 0.123.0 is now available at:

http://www.csounds.com/stevenyi/blue

The two big features of this release are a completed single-line and
multi-line mode for editing/dragging Automation points, as well as a
new JMask soundObject.  JMask is basically a graphical version of
CMask and is mostly 1:1 feature compatible.  Also, one nice thing is
that with JMask, one doesn't require CMask to be installed, so your
project is completely portable across all OS's.  Brief documentation
can be found here:

http://www.csounds.com/stevenyi/blue/usermanual/html/jmask.html

Users are highly recommended to become familiar with CMask's
documentation before using JMask at this time, until JMask
documentation can be further expanded upon.

The underlying code for this soundObject is heavily based on the open
source version of Andre Bartetzki.  Many thanks to him for his
generous opening up of the source!

Other changes are listed in the ChangeLog below.

Thanks!
steven

    [new] - JMask - new SoundObject based on Andre Bartetzki's CMask; currently
            supports same exact features as are available in CMask though using
            a graphical user interface to create and configure parameters,
            masks, quantizers, accumultators, etc.

    [new/updated] - implemented completed single-line and multi-line modes: able
            to select time area, then drag selection area to move automation
            points for currently edited line in single-line mode, all lines
            and soundObjects under selection area in multi-line mode; more
            information in documentation

    [update] - when rendering, now checks if instruments are muted and if so,
            optimize CSD generation and mixer to not generate code for
            those channels associated with muted instruments

    [fix] - processing of command blocks (i.e. ;[pre]{) trimmed the
empty spaces
            around lines of text; now leaves formatting in tact

    [fix] - Problem with Tempo caused "Audition SoundObjects" to break

    [fix] - reenabled cut/copy/paste on NoteProcessorChain editors, fixed to
            make buffered noteProcessor be global and can copy/paste in all
            noteProcessor editors (i.e. SoundObject, SoundLayer, polyObject),
            fixed to make NoteProcessorChain table be max height always of
            scrollPane so that right mouse button can always open up popup

documentation

    [new] - added initial basic documentation for JMask in the

    [new/updated] - Updated "Parameter Automation" in the Concepts section of
            the manual with information on the updated Single-Line and
            Multi-Line modes

            better examples showing before and after processing
