Another update to the master branch and I'm calling this a release candidate
now. There have been a lot of improvements since 1.2.1
The latest is that I've reinstated gzip compression on instruments and
parameter sets. If, for some reason, you don't want that, simply change the
level to 0 in settings. The default is 3, which is the same as it originally
was. The reason Cal disabled it is no longer relevant as the bug in zlib has
long ago been fixed. Those with SSDs won't really notice a difference, but it
will improve save, and subsequent load times on old spinning rust. Exisiting
uncompressed files will still load as before.
I think I've finally got parameter save messages making sense. If you've just
stepped though them without making any changes, when you close Yoshi it will
just quietly save things like the latest files history.
The setting window now has 'Save and Close' or 'Close Unsaved'. There seems
little point in saving settings but keeping the window open - as previously. If
you save and close the settings window, then again, when quitting Yoshi it will
do so silently. However, if you've closed without saving, then when quitting you
will be given the choice of saving and quitting, quitting without saving or
cancelling so you can look at the changes before deciding.
I'm going to leave this to settle for a while now, so please give it a good
workout.
For those who may not know, the way to get the current master is
(making sure you have git installed):
git clone git://yoshimi.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/yoshimi/yoshimi
Then switch to the yoshim/src directory and do the usual
ccmake .
cmake .
make
Meanwhile I'm going to make a determined effort to grab C++ by the tail :o
