I've placed a new release of Common Music on ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu
and ftp.zkm.de. The major new additions are:
o Three new ports in public domain lisps:
1) NeXT/Intel in GCL-1.1, includes MIDI real time.
2) SGI/IRIX5.3 in CMU Common Lisp
3) SGI/IRIX5.3 in CLISP
o Capella GUI on Macintosh has been improved and highly optimized:
1) New envelope editor supports various output formats, copy/paste.
2) Listing browsers now work well with longer (2000+) sequences.
3) Controls completely reimplemented to work better with color.
4) New "Play..." item in MIDI submenu for playing Midifiles.
5) New "Move" Worksheet for positional editing: swapping, rotating,
shuffling, reversing, and so forth.
o New :MIX syntax for Oyvind Hammer's (oyvindha@notam.uio.no)
realtime mixing program "mix" on the SGI, implemented by Anders
Vinjar (anders.vinjar@notam.uio.no). Get mix from
notam.uio.no:/pub/sgi.
o README's completely rewritten and reorganized.
o To accommodate the ever increasing number of ports, the build script
has undergone some simplification and the build process has changed
slightly. Here are the incompatible changes:
1) For MIDI on NeXTstep anywhere, you must install MusicKit_4.1.1
2) Nextstep 2.0 is no longer supported.
3) AKCL is no longer supported (use GCL instead).
4) The lisp build program no longer calls unix "make" to
automatically compile c programs. You get to do this
yourself, see the new main README for further information.
