2 Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.5 since the previous release 0.4:
|
Chris@36
|
3
|
Chris@36
|
4 Build changes:
|
Chris@36
|
5
|
Chris@36
|
6 - Remove unused audioio library and avoid its dependencies
|
Chris@36
|
7
|
Chris@36
|
8 Front-end changes:
|
Chris@36
|
9
|
Chris@36
|
10 - Avoid leaking file descriptors on exceptions
|
Chris@36
|
11 - Fix embarrassing bug that caused failure to mix down to mono
|
Chris@36
|
12 properly for single-channel plugins with multi-channel input files
|
Chris@36
|
13 - Fail sooner if the output file is not writable (i.e. don't wait
|
Chris@36
|
14 until the first data is available for writing)
|

16 Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.4 since the previous release 0.3:
|
Chris@27
|
17
|
Chris@27
|
18 Build changes:
|
Chris@27
|
19
|
Chris@27
|
20 - Sonic Annotator now requires the Vamp plugin SDK v2.1 or newer.
|
Chris@27
|
21
|
Chris@27
|
22 Front-end changes:
|
Chris@27
|
23
|
Chris@28
|
24 - Frequency-domain plugins now use the PluginInputDomainAdapter's new
|
Chris@28
|
25 ShiftData processing method, ensuring that the first block received
|
Chris@28
|
26 by the plugin is the one centred on 0 rather than starting at 0.
|
Chris@28
|
27 Unfortunately, the old behaviour omitted a timing compensation step,
|
Chris@28
|
28 and this fix actually changes the results from some plugin processes:
|
Chris@28
|
29 the previous behaviour was not always in line with the Vamp plugin
|
Chris@28
|
30 specification.
|
Chris@28
|
31
|
Chris@27
|
32 - More useful diagnostics are now available when a plugin fails to
|
Chris@28
|
33 load or run.
|
Chris@27
|
34
|
Chris@27
|
35 CSV back-end (feature writer) changes:
|
Chris@27
|
36
|
Chris@27
|
37 - The CSV writer now closes its output files properly when it
|
Chris@27
|
38 finishes writing to each one, rather than leaving them all open
|
Chris@27
|
39 until the end and risk running out of file descriptors. This was
|
Chris@27
|
40 already the behaviour of the RDF writer, the CSV one has just been
|
Chris@27
|
41 updated to match it.
|
Chris@27
|
42 - The behaviour of the CSV writer has also been changed to match
|
Chris@27
|
43 that of the RDF writer in handling file write failures (it now
|
Chris@27
|
44 continues processing only if --force is given).
|
Chris@27
|
45
|
Chris@27
|
46
|
Chris@27
|
47 Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.3 since the previous release 0.2:
|
Chris@23
|
48
|
Chris@23
|
49 Front-end changes:
|
Chris@23
|
50
|
Chris@23
|
51 - A new --force front-end option (distinct from the --csv-force and
|
Chris@23
|
52 --rdf-force back-end options) has been added, which makes Sonic
|
Chris@23
|
53 Annotator continue to process subsequent audio files instead of
|
Chris@23
|
54 exiting after an error, if multiple audio files have been specified.
|
Chris@23
|
55
|
Chris@23
|
56 RDF back-end (feature writer) changes:
|
Chris@23
|
57
|
Chris@23
|
58 - The RDF writer now conforms more correctly with the Music Ontology
|
Chris@23
|
59 in the way it relates signal, track, and track metadata. Signals
|
Chris@23
|
60 that have available metadata now gain a Track resource to associate
|
Chris@23
|
61 that metadata with, instead of hanging it directly from the Signal
|
Chris@23
|
62 resource; also the audio file now encodes the signal rather than the
|
Chris@23
|
63 signal being available as the audio file (matching the domain
|
Chris@23
|
64 specification of the Music Ontology). Note that this new resource
|
Chris@23
|
65 structure will not be properly read by versions of Sonic Visualiser
|
Chris@23
|
66 prior to 1.6 (should importing the data into Sonic Visualiser be of
|
Chris@23
|
67 interest to you).
|
Chris@23
|
68
|
Chris@23
|
69 - The --rdf-signal-uri option has been removed and replaced with the
|
Chris@23
|
70 more meaningful set of options --rdf-audiofile-uri, --rdf-track-uri,
|
Chris@23
|
71 and --rdf-maker-uri.
|
Chris@23
|
72
|
Chris@23
|
73 - A new --rdf-network option is available, to cause Sonic Annotator
|
Chris@23
|
74 to try to retrieve RDF descriptions for plugins from the network
|
Chris@23
|
75 where those descriptions are not available locally. Use of this
|
Chris@23
|
76 option is recommended, but it is not the default because of the
|
Chris@23
|
77 possible performance implication (even though the results are mostly
|
Chris@23
|
78 cached, there may be some network access involved).
|
Chris@23
|
79
|
Chris@23
|
80 - The RDF writer now writes the computed_by property for signal
|
Chris@23
|
81 features.
|
Chris@23
|
82
|
Chris@23
|
83 - Plugin and output URIs in the resulting RDF are now percent-encoded.
