0.9.53 Available

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

Tonight’s release includes several important bug fixes, as well as one big new addition.
The biggest addition to this version is the ability to build cue sequences that are fired based on an absolute timeline. It has been clear for awhile that this was an important feature, but deciding how to implement it turned out [...]

0.9.507 Available

Monday, April 24th, 2006

Lots of updates in this version, so be sure to take a look at the release notes to get the full rundown.
One big addition is that Group Cues can now be transformed into miniature Cue Lists inside other Cue Lists. See:
http://figure53.com/trac/index.fcgi/ticket/112
for a discussion of the impetus behind this. Basically, these mini Cue Lists [...]

MIDI at last

Saturday, April 15th, 2006

The first MIDI testing is finally underway. Here’s a peak:

0.9.506 Available

Saturday, April 8th, 2006

This is a bug fix release. Because of the problem described in ticket #117, I have reluctantly increased the OS requirement to 10.4. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. To the best of my knowledge this is a problem in CoreAudio on 10.3.9, and until I hear otherwise from Apple [...]

Roving Development, and the Coming of the MIDI

Monday, March 13th, 2006

I’m home in Louisville for a few days, and had a chance to spend some time down at the old digs (http://www.actorstheatre.org/). Looks like it’s going to be a strong Humana Festival this year. I wish I could be around longer to see it when it really hits its full stride, but what [...]

0.9.503 Available

Saturday, February 25th, 2006

This release adds hotkeys.
You can assign any cue a hotkey in the “info” tab of the inspector. More than one cue can have the same hotkey, but if you assign a key that is being used in the key map (in General Preferences) you will see a warning that this key is in use and [...]

Almost two weeks and no release?

Sunday, February 5th, 2006

Trust me, I’m working on it. Possibly too much. It’s been a rainy weekend here in Baltimore; ideal for curling up on the couch with the PowerBook and working on my carpal tunnel syndrome until the wee hours of the morning. The carpal tunnel hasn’t progressed very far, but the code has. [...]

On the Road to 1.0

Sunday, January 29th, 2006

As I wrote on the mailing list, I’ll soon be turning my attention to sketching out a roadmap to that gleaming city on a hill, Version 1.0. There are plenty of cool features that I’m itching to work on, but I think it’s important to finish up the basics and get 1.0 out the [...]

0.9.4r6 Available

Thursday, January 19th, 2006

Tonight’s release focuses on cue numbers and providing other ways to set cue targets (instead of just drag and drop).
The current implementation of cue numbers is not a complete solution—I have not yet included automatic generation of cue numbers, for example. But you can renumber selected cues by a user-specified increment. (Would one [...]

Hark ye; the features do grow apace

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

In the next day or two I’ll be posting a new version featuring cue numbers (and the ability to target via cue numbers), alternate sound file assignment methods, and a few other goodies.
I then expect I’ll start narrowing down exactly what features must be in version 1.0. Since feature requests have leveled [...]
