We are pleased to announce the release of the next version of csound,
5.09

This is mainly a maintenence release but there are major new opcodes
and operations.

At present the CVS is missing a few packages; these will be added in
the next few days.

Notes for 5.09
==============

New Opcodes:
     ambisonics now in bformenc1/bformdec1 and correct.
     bformenc1/bformdec1 are now depreicated and should not be used
     Chua's Oscillator
     Csound i-rate and k-rate opcodes for much standard linear algebra over
	real and complex vectors and matrices: elementwise arithmetic, norms,
	transpose and conjugate, inner products, matrix inverse, LU decomposition,
	QR decomposition, and QR-based eigenvalue decomposition. Includes
	copying vectors to and from a-rate signals, function tables, and f-signals.
     Vosim opcode
     dcblock2 opcode
     setscorepos and rewindscore opcodes

New Gen
     exp plugin GEN

Modified Opcodes and Gens:
     vbap family now take k-rate third and fourth arguments
     Deprecate soundout in favour of fout
     Added 'skip normalisation argument'  to tanh GEN
     Fixed space opcodes to accept non-pow-2 (deferred) tables
     Added optional envelopes for sfont opcode (extra argument) using
	sfont file parameters 

Bugs fixed:
     printk and printks check that opcode is initialised
     poscil no longer overwrites frequency if variable is shared
     Error on /* */ comments in orchestra fixed
     Fixed pvsmorph bug 

System Changes:
     New parser has #include and argumentless macros
     Allow scientific notation (as was in csound4!) in Gen23
     pulseaudio IO plugin module
     added scheduler priority option on alsa

Internal:
     A number of small changes
     Includes experimental multicore
     Less casting between floats and doubles in float version
     buzz rewritten


**end**

Thank you all for your hard work.

Three questions though:
a) Where can it be downloaded?
b) Has anyone removed the "Beta" indicator from the Windows version?
c) Is there a non-installer-used version for Windows?

I always suggest looking at the following page first because it helps you
select the correct files to download:

http://csound.sourceforge.net/

But, that page usually doesn't get updated _immediately_ after a new release
is announced.  I will have the 5.09 files listed there in about 20-30
minutes.

Alternatively, you can always find the latest Csound 5 release files here:



> b) Has anyone removed the "Beta" indicator from the Windows version?

Not sure.

> c) Is there a non-installer-used version for Windows?

I don't think so.

Hi,

>I tried the Linux installer but it crashes with a segmentation fault
>(this is using Ubuntu Hardy).

i get the same error (segmentation fault) trying to install Csound5.09-i386d
but on Suse11.0 KDE3.5xx.
5.08 gave me that error too. Can someone help us out please?
