Hi All,

I'm happy to announce that blue 2.3.1 is now available at:

http://blue.kunstmusik.com

This release features a new text editor for coding, based on Netbeans
Editor library.  I have replaced the older text editor with one that
is much more feature-ful.  It has a much nicer code completion and now
shows Opcode documentation within a popup window while coding:

http://kunstmusik.com/doclink.png

Users can now change the font sizes, what font is used, colors, tab
sizes, etc.  The editor also has line numbers and can be zoomed in
using alt-mouse-wheel on a temporary basis (in case your eyes are
getting tired. :) ).  I have also updated the default color theme for
blue.

Besides that, there are a few bug fixes.  ChangeLog is below.

Thanks and Enjoy!
steven




>Notes for 2.3.1<
[released 2012.12.12]

NEW/UPDATED

* Replaced existing code editor with one based on Netbeans Editor Library

  * Editor provides much nicer code completion and opcode documentation shows
  in the application (Csound Manual now included with blue)

  * Fonts and Colors for code editor are configurable, as well as many other
    settings (i.e. tab size, spaces to insert for soft tabs), settings available
    in ProgramOptions

  * Text can be zoomed in using alt+mouse scrolling

  * Csound Orc Code

    * All Code Completion is now done through ctrl-space (cmd-space on Mac);
    this includes opcode completion, variable name matches, and BSB Widget names

    * Code Editors that have been replaced: GenericScore, BlueSynthBuilder,
    Effects Editor, User-Defined Opcode Editor, Global Orchestra (incl. tabs
    within instrument editors)

  * Csound Score Code

    * Code Editors that have been replaced: Global Score (incl. tabs within
    instrument editors), GenericScore

  * Python Code

    * Code Editors that have been replaced: PythonObject, Python Instrument

  * Javascript Code

    * Code Editors that have been replaced: RhinoObject, Rhino Instrument

UPDATED

* Now packaging Csound Manual together with blue, for use with new editor's
  code completion to show opcode information while coding

* Removed Csound Manual Documentation Root option in Program Options

* Removed old text color settings panel

* Removed Help button on main toolbar as it was redundant to Csound Manual
  options in Help Menu

FIX

* Render time pointer was being rendered when switching projects for the
  projects that were not the currently rendering project

* When rendering with API, automation values were always starting from time 0;
  adjusted current time calculation

* Bug 3591867 - Fixed issue with JMask Segment modifying its points after each
  render

* Fixed intermittent issue with layer operations on Score; moved execution of
  Process on Load SoundObjects to separate thread when loading to prevent
  long-running operation on Swing dispatch thread

Note, I'll also be recording a video showing how to use the editor,
probably tonight or tomorrow, and will post to the blue playlist on
youtube when I have a chance.  Thanks!

Thanks and very glad it will help!  I've found it much nicer for my
own music work too.  I'll be continuing to look at other features to
implement using the NB Editor library (code completion for python,
code formatters, code folding, etc.) and will likely add a feature
here and there over the next few releases.  The editor library is
quite feature-ful (it is used as the basis of Netbeans IDE after all),
so I'm sure there will only get nicer from here. :)

Hi All,

For those who might be curious, I recorded a video about the text editor here:

Thanks!
