2 Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.4 since the previous release 0.3:
|
|
Chris@27
|
3
|
|
Chris@27
|
4 Build changes:
|
|
Chris@27
|
5
|
|
Chris@27
|
6 - Sonic Annotator now requires the Vamp plugin SDK v2.1 or newer.
|
|
Chris@27
|
7
|
|
Chris@27
|
8 Front-end changes:
|
|
Chris@27
|
9
|
|
Chris@28
|
10 - Frequency-domain plugins now use the PluginInputDomainAdapter's new
|
|
Chris@28
|
11 ShiftData processing method, ensuring that the first block received
|
|
Chris@28
|
12 by the plugin is the one centred on 0 rather than starting at 0.
|
|
Chris@28
|
13 Unfortunately, the old behaviour omitted a timing compensation step,
|
|
Chris@28
|
14 and this fix actually changes the results from some plugin processes:
|
|
Chris@28
|
15 the previous behaviour was not always in line with the Vamp plugin
|
|
Chris@28
|
16 specification.
|
|
Chris@28
|
17
|
|
Chris@27
|
18 - More useful diagnostics are now available when a plugin fails to
|
|
Chris@28
|
19 load or run.
|
|
Chris@27
|
20
|
|
Chris@27
|
21 CSV back-end (feature writer) changes:
|
|
Chris@27
|
22
|
|
Chris@27
|
23 - The CSV writer now closes its output files properly when it
|
|
Chris@27
|
24 finishes writing to each one, rather than leaving them all open
|
|
Chris@27
|
25 until the end and risk running out of file descriptors. This was
|
|
Chris@27
|
26 already the behaviour of the RDF writer, the CSV one has just been
|
|
Chris@27
|
27 updated to match it.
|
|
Chris@27
|
28 - The behaviour of the CSV writer has also been changed to match
|
|
Chris@27
|
29 that of the RDF writer in handling file write failures (it now
|
|
Chris@27
|
30 continues processing only if --force is given).
|
|
Chris@27
|
31
|
|
Chris@27
|
32
|
|
Chris@27
|
33 Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.3 since the previous release 0.2:
|
|
Chris@23
|
34
|
|
Chris@23
|
35 Front-end changes:
|
|
Chris@23
|
36
|
|
Chris@23
|
37 - A new --force front-end option (distinct from the --csv-force and
|
|
Chris@23
|
38 --rdf-force back-end options) has been added, which makes Sonic
|
|
Chris@23
|
39 Annotator continue to process subsequent audio files instead of
|
|
Chris@23
|
40 exiting after an error, if multiple audio files have been specified.
|
|
Chris@23
|
41
|
|
Chris@23
|
42 RDF back-end (feature writer) changes:
|
|
Chris@23
|
43
|
|
Chris@23
|
44 - The RDF writer now conforms more correctly with the Music Ontology
|
|
Chris@23
|
45 in the way it relates signal, track, and track metadata. Signals
|
|
Chris@23
|
46 that have available metadata now gain a Track resource to associate
|
|
Chris@23
|
47 that metadata with, instead of hanging it directly from the Signal
|
|
Chris@23
|
48 resource; also the audio file now encodes the signal rather than the
|
|
Chris@23
|
49 signal being available as the audio file (matching the domain
|
|
Chris@23
|
50 specification of the Music Ontology). Note that this new resource
|
|
Chris@23
|
51 structure will not be properly read by versions of Sonic Visualiser
|
|
Chris@23
|
52 prior to 1.6 (should importing the data into Sonic Visualiser be of
|
|
Chris@23
|
53 interest to you).
|
|
Chris@23
|
54
|
|
Chris@23
|
55 - The --rdf-signal-uri option has been removed and replaced with the
|
|
Chris@23
|
56 more meaningful set of options --rdf-audiofile-uri, --rdf-track-uri,
|
|
Chris@23
|
57 and --rdf-maker-uri.
|
|
Chris@23
|
58
|
|
Chris@23
|
59 - A new --rdf-network option is available, to cause Sonic Annotator
|
|
Chris@23
|
60 to try to retrieve RDF descriptions for plugins from the network
|
|
Chris@23
|
61 where those descriptions are not available locally. Use of this
|
|
Chris@23
|
62 option is recommended, but it is not the default because of the
|
|
Chris@23
|
63 possible performance implication (even though the results are mostly
|
|
Chris@23
|
64 cached, there may be some network access involved).
|
|
Chris@23
|
65
|
|
Chris@23
|
66 - The RDF writer now writes the computed_by property for signal
|
|
Chris@23
|
67 features.
|
|
Chris@23
|
68
|
|
Chris@23
|
69 - Plugin and output URIs in the resulting RDF are now percent-encoded.
