We’ve just tagged the current code as 9.0-rc1 - this is the first release candidate for 9.0.
We are now in a feature freeze until 9.0 is released - all development work will be on bug fixes and improvements to features already present. We anticipate at least one more -rcN tag before release (possibly several), and at some point will announce a string freeze to allow translators to finalize their work for 9.0.
Users interested in testing 9.0 and ensuring the best possible release are invited to test it out from the builds available on nightly.ardour.org (or self-build if you prefer). We would strongly request that no Linux distributions package this or any other release candidate - please wait for us to release 9.0. Please report issues on the bug tracker though design discussion on the forum are now acceptable (if not always ideal).
We are not yet finished with the release notes for 9.0, but to get an overview of what is in this release, you can take a look at the in-progress document. It will be revised and updated as we move through the release process.
Please note that there is still no release date scheduled for 9.0. We anticipate that a wider group of beta-testers will uncover new issues (both bugs and workflow/design issues) that merit fixing before the release.
@paul I was trying out the MIDI Note Brushing feature, and can only get the repeated notes to land on the first bar of the measure, no matter what grid / snap settings I am using. I am dragging note while holding SHIFT. Am I using this correctly ?
Well, in the meantime I’m going to create a shortcut that I’ll integrate into the toolbar because otherwise it’s not very ergonomic.
edit:Damn!
I couldn’t even find a submenu in the shortcut actions to access the different quantizations… so I had to create six shortcuts, one for each tempo (quarter note, eighth note, sixteenth note, etc.).
This should be integrated into the piano roll window in the future.
