* updated Qjackctl to version 0.1.1-1. Now with a complete new look! It
just keeps getting nicer.
* updated libsigc++ to version 1.2.5-1 (required to build
Cheesetracker). This required the creation of a backwards
compatibility package named libsigc++10 version 1.0.4-1, which
replaces and obsoletes the previous version of the libsigc++ package.
The new package requirements mandated a rebuild of gtkmm version
1.2.10-1 although it was already at the latest version.
* added Gtkmm2 version 2.2.8-1 (only available on RedHat 9)
* added Scons version 0.93-1. Required to build Cheesetracker (not
available on RedHat 7.3).
* added Cheesetracker version 0.9.0-1, an Impulse Tracker clone.
* added MidiShare version 1.86-1 and the MidiShare Player library
version 2.04-1. MidiShare is a MIDI interapplication communication
protocol (similar in spirit to the existing ALSA MIDI sequencer).
Acting as MidiShare clients, applications can send and receive timed
midi streams from each other in real time. Midishare is used by Common
Music (part of Planet CCRMA but not yet rebuilt to be able to use
MidiShare) and OpenMusic (soon to be packaged), two Common Lisp based
systems that have strong roots in the Macintosh world, where Midishare
has proven to be popular. Regretfully there's not much support yet for
MidiShare in the Linux world. Fluidsynth can use MidiShare and a new
release has been built that can do that, but that's about it for now
(and I have not done any testing). There is no gateway between
MidiShare and the ALSA MIDI sequencer, so MidiShare clients are pretty
limited in what they can do until such a package exists (MidiShare's
core is a kernel module so it is part of the PlanetCore repository).
* updated Fluidsynth to version 1.0.3-2, it can now use the MidiShare
library to do MIDI i/o (not tested).
More details in the Changelog.
Enjoy....
