| Chris@23 | 2 Changes in Sonic Annotator 1.3 since the previous release 1.2: | 
| Chris@23 | 3 | 
| Chris@23 | 4 Front-end changes: | 
| Chris@23 | 5 | 
| Chris@23 | 6  - A new --force front-end option (distinct from the --csv-force and | 
| Chris@23 | 7  --rdf-force back-end options) has been added, which makes Sonic | 
| Chris@23 | 8  Annotator continue to process subsequent audio files instead of | 
| Chris@23 | 9  exiting after an error, if multiple audio files have been specified. | 
| Chris@23 | 10 | 
| Chris@23 | 11 RDF back-end (feature writer) changes: | 
| Chris@23 | 12 | 
| Chris@23 | 13  - The RDF writer now conforms more correctly with the Music Ontology | 
| Chris@23 | 14  in the way it relates signal, track, and track metadata.  Signals | 
| Chris@23 | 15  that have available metadata now gain a Track resource to associate | 
| Chris@23 | 16  that metadata with, instead of hanging it directly from the Signal | 
| Chris@23 | 17  resource; also the audio file now encodes the signal rather than the | 
| Chris@23 | 18  signal being available as the audio file (matching the domain | 
| Chris@23 | 19  specification of the Music Ontology).  Note that this new resource | 
| Chris@23 | 20  structure will not be properly read by versions of Sonic Visualiser | 
| Chris@23 | 21  prior to 1.6 (should importing the data into Sonic Visualiser be of | 
| Chris@23 | 22  interest to you). | 
| Chris@23 | 23 | 
| Chris@23 | 24  - The --rdf-signal-uri option has been removed and replaced with the | 
| Chris@23 | 25  more meaningful set of options --rdf-audiofile-uri, --rdf-track-uri, | 
| Chris@23 | 26  and --rdf-maker-uri. | 
| Chris@23 | 27 | 
| Chris@23 | 28  - A new --rdf-network option is available, to cause Sonic Annotator | 
| Chris@23 | 29  to try to retrieve RDF descriptions for plugins from the network | 
| Chris@23 | 30  where those descriptions are not available locally.  Use of this | 
| Chris@23 | 31  option is recommended, but it is not the default because of the | 
| Chris@23 | 32  possible performance implication (even though the results are mostly | 
| Chris@23 | 33  cached, there may be some network access involved). | 
| Chris@23 | 34 | 
| Chris@23 | 35  - The RDF writer now writes the computed_by property for signal | 
| Chris@23 | 36  features. | 
| Chris@23 | 37 | 
| Chris@23 | 38  - Plugin and output URIs in the resulting RDF are now percent-encoded. |
