2 Changes in Sonic Annotator 1.1 since the previous release 1.0:
|
Chris@127
|
3
|
Chris@127
|
4 Front-end changes:
|
Chris@127
|
5
|
Chris@127
|
6 - Add support for the start time and duration properties of a
|
Chris@127
|
7 transform, applying a plugin to only a range of the input audio
|
Chris@179
|
8 - Reduce the internal processing blocksize from 16384 to 1024 samples
|
Chris@179
|
9 to reduce extent of time rounding at end of file or range
|
Chris@128
|
10 - Add --multiplex option to compose multiple audio files into a
|
Chris@128
|
11 single multi-channel stream with one input file per channel
|
Chris@172
|
12 - Add --normalise to request each audio file be normalised to 1.0 max
|
Chris@172
|
13 - Add support for the plugin_version property of a transform, causing
|
Chris@172
|
14 Sonic Annotator to refuse to run with the wrong version of a plugin
|
Chris@128
|
15 - Add --minversion option to permit scripts to check that the
|
Chris@128
|
16 version of Sonic Annotator is as they expect
|
Chris@172
|
17 - Add new housekeeping options to list the available feature writers
|
Chris@172
|
18 and supported audio file formats
|
Chris@172
|
19 - Pull out the feature-writer-specific help text into separate help
|
Chris@172
|
20 options (-h <writertype>) as the help was getting too long
|
Chris@172
|
21
|
Chris@172
|
22 Back-end (feature writer) changes:
|
Chris@172
|
23
|
Chris@172
|
24 - Add --csv-omit-filename, --csv-end-times, and --csv-fill-ends
|
Chris@172
|
25 options to the CSV feature writer to adjust various aspects of its
|
Chris@172
|
26 output
|
Chris@172
|
27 - Add "json" feature writer, exporting to JAMS (JSON Annotated Music
|
Chris@172
|
28 Specificiation) format. This writer is provisional and is expected
|
Chris@172
|
29 to change in future releases to comply more effectively with the
|
Chris@172
|
30 specification
|
Chris@172
|
31 - Add "midi" feature writer, exporting to MIDI files
|
Chris@172
|
32 - Add "lab" feature writer, exporting to tab-separated label files.
|
Chris@172
|
33 (This is equivalent to using the CSV writer with a tab separator and
|
Chris@172
|
34 the new --csv-omit-filename and --csv-end-times options, but it's
|
Chris@172
|
35 simpler to use if .lab is what you want)
|
Chris@128
|
36
|
Chris@128
|
37 Bug fixes:
|
Chris@128
|
38
|
Chris@128
|
39 - Fix the former habit of forging ahead even if not all transform
|
Chris@128
|
40 files could be found or parsed (this may have been intentional
|
Chris@128
|
41 behaviour but it is confusing more than it is useful)
|
Chris@128
|
42 - Fix failure to support --summary-only flag when reading transforms
|
Chris@128
|
43 with summaries from a transform file
|
Chris@71
|
44
|
Chris@172
|
45
|
Chris@86
|
46 Changes in Sonic Annotator 1.0 since the previous release 0.7:
|
Chris@71
|
47
|
Chris@87
|
48 Bug fixes:
|
Chris@87
|
49
|
Chris@71
|
50 - Fix incorrect samplerate in reading m4a files on OS/X
|
Chris@73
|
51 - Fix incorrect handling of FixedSampleRate outputs (Vamp SDK fix)
|
Chris@86
|
52 - Add tests that use the Vamp test plugin
|
Chris@65
|
53
|
Chris@172
|
54
|
Chris@65
|
55 Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.7 since the previous release 0.6:
|
Chris@65
|
56
|
Chris@65
|
57 Build changes:
|
Chris@65
|
58
|
Chris@65
|
59 - Support 64-bit builds on OS/X (using CoreAudio instead of
|
Chris@65
|
60 obsolete QuickTime audio file reader)
|
Chris@65
|
61
|
Chris@65
|
62 - Simplify RDF reading and fix some bugs. Now requires Dataquay
|
Chris@65
|
63 (http://breakfastquay.com/dataquay/) rather than using Redland
|
Chris@65
|
64 directly. Release builds use Sord/Serd rather than Redland
|
Chris@49
|
65
|
Chris@172
|
66
|
Chris@49
|
67 Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.6 since the previous release 0.5:
|
Chris@49
|
68
|
Chris@49
|
69 Build changes:
|
Chris@49
|
70
|
Chris@49
|
71 - Switch to modular SV-libraries build using svcore library
|
Chris@53
|
72 - We now require Vamp plugin SDK v2.3
|
Chris@49
|
73 - Add autoconf configure script
|
Chris@49
|
74
|
Chris@49
|
75 Front-end changes:
|
Chris@49
|
76
|
Chris@49
|
77 - Pick up default sample rate and channel count from the first
|
Chris@49
|
78 audio file, where not specified in the transform, instead of using
|
Chris@49
|
79 hard coded defaults
|
Chris@53
|
80 - Make it possible to specify the window shape in transform
|
Chris@49
|
81 - Fix the --csv-one-file option which did not work in 0.5
|
Chris@49
|
82 - Fix --force option when using playlists
|
Chris@49
|
83 - Add -v option to print version number and exit
|
Chris@36
|
84
|
Chris@172
|
85
|
Chris@36
|
86 Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.5 since the previous release 0.4:
|
Chris@36
|
87
|
Chris@36
|
88 Build changes:
|
Chris@36
|
89
|
Chris@36
|
90 - Remove unused audioio library and avoid its dependencies
|
Chris@36
|
91
|
Chris@36
|
92 Front-end changes:
|
Chris@36
|
93
|
Chris@36
|
94 - Avoid leaking file descriptors on exceptions
|
Chris@36
|
95 - Fix embarrassing bug that caused failure to mix down to mono
|
Chris@36
|
96 properly for single-channel plugins with multi-channel input files
|
Chris@36
|
97 - Fail sooner if the output file is not writable (i.e. don't wait
|
Chris@36
|
98 until the first data is available for writing)
|
Chris@23
|
99
|
Chris@172
|
100
|
Chris@27
|
101 Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.4 since the previous release 0.3:
|
Chris@27
|
102
|
Chris@27
|
103 Build changes:
|
Chris@27
|
104
|
Chris@27
|
105 - Sonic Annotator now requires the Vamp plugin SDK v2.1 or newer.
|
Chris@27
|
106
|
Chris@27
|
107 Front-end changes:
|
Chris@27
|
108
|
Chris@28
|
109 - Frequency-domain plugins now use the PluginInputDomainAdapter's new
|
Chris@28
|
110 ShiftData processing method, ensuring that the first block received
|
Chris@28
|
111 by the plugin is the one centred on 0 rather than starting at 0.
|
Chris@28
|
112 Unfortunately, the old behaviour omitted a timing compensation step,
|
Chris@28
|
113 and this fix actually changes the results from some plugin processes:
|
Chris@28
|
114 the previous behaviour was not always in line with the Vamp plugin
|
Chris@28
|
115 specification.
|
Chris@28
|
116
|
Chris@27
|
117 - More useful diagnostics are now available when a plugin fails to
|
Chris@28
|
118 load or run.
|
Chris@27
|
119
|
Chris@27
|
120 CSV back-end (feature writer) changes:
|
Chris@27
|
121
|
Chris@27
|
122 - The CSV writer now closes its output files properly when it
|
Chris@27
|
123 finishes writing to each one, rather than leaving them all open
|
Chris@27
|
124 until the end and risk running out of file descriptors. This was
|
Chris@27
|
125 already the behaviour of the RDF writer, the CSV one has just been
|
Chris@27
|
126 updated to match it.
|
Chris@27
|
127 - The behaviour of the CSV writer has also been changed to match
|
Chris@27
|
128 that of the RDF writer in handling file write failures (it now
|
Chris@27
|
129 continues processing only if --force is given).
|
Chris@27
|
130
|
Chris@27
|
131
|
Chris@27
|
132 Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.3 since the previous release 0.2:
|
Chris@23
|
133
|
Chris@23
|
134 Front-end changes:
|
Chris@23
|
135
|
Chris@23
|
136 - A new --force front-end option (distinct from the --csv-force and
|
Chris@23
|
137 --rdf-force back-end options) has been added, which makes Sonic
|
Chris@23
|
138 Annotator continue to process subsequent audio files instead of
|
Chris@23
|
139 exiting after an error, if multiple audio files have been specified.
|
Chris@23
|
140
|
Chris@23
|
141 RDF back-end (feature writer) changes:
|
Chris@23
|
142
|
Chris@23
|
143 - The RDF writer now conforms more correctly with the Music Ontology
|
Chris@23
|
144 in the way it relates signal, track, and track metadata. Signals
|
Chris@23
|
145 that have available metadata now gain a Track resource to associate
|
Chris@23
|
146 that metadata with, instead of hanging it directly from the Signal
|
Chris@23
|
147 resource; also the audio file now encodes the signal rather than the
|
Chris@23
|
148 signal being available as the audio file (matching the domain
|
Chris@23
|
149 specification of the Music Ontology). Note that this new resource
|
Chris@23
|
150 structure will not be properly read by versions of Sonic Visualiser
|
Chris@23
|
151 prior to 1.6 (should importing the data into Sonic Visualiser be of
|
Chris@23
|
152 interest to you).
|
Chris@23
|
153
|
Chris@23
|
154 - The --rdf-signal-uri option has been removed and replaced with the
|
Chris@23
|
155 more meaningful set of options --rdf-audiofile-uri, --rdf-track-uri,
|
Chris@23
|
156 and --rdf-maker-uri.
|
Chris@23
|
157
|
Chris@23
|
158 - A new --rdf-network option is available, to cause Sonic Annotator
|
Chris@23
|
159 to try to retrieve RDF descriptions for plugins from the network
|
Chris@23
|
160 where those descriptions are not available locally. Use of this
|
Chris@23
|
161 option is recommended, but it is not the default because of the
|
Chris@23
|
162 possible performance implication (even though the results are mostly
|
Chris@23
|
163 cached, there may be some network access involved).
|
Chris@23
|
164
|
Chris@23
|
165 - The RDF writer now writes the computed_by property for signal
|
Chris@23
|
166 features.
|
Chris@23
|
167
|
Chris@23
|
168 - Plugin and output URIs in the resulting RDF are now percent-encoded.
