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@27
|
10 - More useful diagnostics are now available when a plugin fails to
|
|
Chris@27
|
11 load or run
|
|
Chris@27
|
12 - Frequency-domain plugins now use the PluginInputDomainAdapter's
|
|
Chris@27
|
13 new ShiftData processing method, ensuring that the first block
|
|
Chris@27
|
14 received by the plugin is the one centred on 0 rather than starting
|
|
Chris@27
|
15 at 0: we think this is a better match for normal usage expectations.
|
|
Chris@27
|
16
|
|
Chris@27
|
17 CSV back-end (feature writer) changes:
|
|
Chris@27
|
18
|
|
Chris@27
|
19 - The CSV writer now closes its output files properly when it
|
|
Chris@27
|
20 finishes writing to each one, rather than leaving them all open
|
|
Chris@27
|
21 until the end and risk running out of file descriptors. This was
|
|
Chris@27
|
22 already the behaviour of the RDF writer, the CSV one has just been
|
|
Chris@27
|
23 updated to match it.
|
|
Chris@27
|
24 - The behaviour of the CSV writer has also been changed to match
|
|
Chris@27
|
25 that of the RDF writer in handling file write failures (it now
|
|
Chris@27
|
26 continues processing only if --force is given).

29 Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.3 since the previous release 0.2:
|
|
Chris@23
|
30
|
|
Chris@23
|
31 Front-end changes:
|
|
Chris@23
|
32
|
|
Chris@23
|
33 - A new --force front-end option (distinct from the --csv-force and
|
|
Chris@23
|
34 --rdf-force back-end options) has been added, which makes Sonic
|
|
Chris@23
|
35 Annotator continue to process subsequent audio files instead of
|
|
Chris@23
|
36 exiting after an error, if multiple audio files have been specified.
|
|
Chris@23
|
37
|
|
Chris@23
|
38 RDF back-end (feature writer) changes:
|
|
Chris@23
|
39
|
|
Chris@23
|
40 - The RDF writer now conforms more correctly with the Music Ontology
|
|
Chris@23
|
41 in the way it relates signal, track, and track metadata. Signals
|
|
Chris@23
|
42 that have available metadata now gain a Track resource to associate
|
|
Chris@23
|
43 that metadata with, instead of hanging it directly from the Signal
|
|
Chris@23
|
44 resource; also the audio file now encodes the signal rather than the
|
|
Chris@23
|
45 signal being available as the audio file (matching the domain
|
|
Chris@23
|
46 specification of the Music Ontology). Note that this new resource
|
|
Chris@23
|
47 structure will not be properly read by versions of Sonic Visualiser
|
|
Chris@23
|
48 prior to 1.6 (should importing the data into Sonic Visualiser be of
|
|
Chris@23
|
49 interest to you).
|
|
Chris@23
|
50
|
|
Chris@23
|
51 - The --rdf-signal-uri option has been removed and replaced with the
|
|
Chris@23
|
52 more meaningful set of options --rdf-audiofile-uri, --rdf-track-uri,
|
|
Chris@23
|
53 and --rdf-maker-uri.
|
|
Chris@23
|
54
|
|
Chris@23
|
55 - A new --rdf-network option is available, to cause Sonic Annotator
|
|
Chris@23
|
56 to try to retrieve RDF descriptions for plugins from the network
|
|
Chris@23
|
57 where those descriptions are not available locally. Use of this
|
|
Chris@23
|
58 option is recommended, but it is not the default because of the
|
|
Chris@23
|
59 possible performance implication (even though the results are mostly
|
|
Chris@23
|
60 cached, there may be some network access involved).
|
|
Chris@23
|
61
|
|
Chris@23
|
62 - The RDF writer now writes the computed_by property for signal
|
|
Chris@23
|
63 features.
|
|
Chris@23
|
64
|
|
Chris@23
|
65 - Plugin and output URIs in the resulting RDF are now percent-encoded.
