Lomse Library. Log of changes
Version 0.20.0 (1/Sep/2016)
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES WITH 0.19.0
- LibraryScope methods 'set_draw_anchors()' and 'draw_anchors()'
have been renamed as 'set_draw_anchor_objects()' and
'draw_anchor_objects()', respectively.
COMPATIBLE CHANGES
The spacing algorithm has been replaced. Previous algorithm was scattered
along several objects and was difficult to understand and, therefore, to
modify and to improve. It was first isolated in a single object with a
clear interface, and an abstract class was defined to facilitate
replacement and experimentation with different algorithms in future. Then
a new algorithm, based on Gourlay's approach, was implemented. The new
algorithm is easier to understand and gives more flexibility.
The lines break algorithm was still valid, but the penalty function has
been changed. This improves layout and gives more control and flexibility.
Lyrics are now taken into account for spacing notes, removing the lyrics
layout problems that were present in previous version. The internal model
for lyrics has been replaced by a new model, to allow for better control
of the layout process.
Also additional space between staves is added when lyrics are present.
The solution for vertical staves spacing is provisional and requires more
changes (in study). Nevertheless, in preparation for these changes, the
score layout algorithm have been modified for dealing with systems
with variable height.
Trace and debug options has been added to the library, to facilitate
experimentation and debugging of spacing algorithm and lines breaker
algorithm.
Although in finished scores is normal practice to justify the last system,
there are cases were this is not required or even need to be prevented.
Also, truncation of staff lines after last object is a need in some
cases. Therefore, scenarios for justification and truncation of last
system have been analyzed, and specific options for controlling the
behaviour have been added to the library. Now users can fully control
these aspects. LDP options for this have been reviewed and adapted.
As a consequence, two existing options ('Score.JustifyFinalBarline'
and 'StaffLines.StopAtFinalBarline') have been deprecated and replaced
by two new options ('Score.JustifyLastSystem' and 'StaffLines.Truncate').
For backwards compatibility to prevent undesired changes in existing
scores due to the new algorithms (that is, for ensuring that the visual
appearance of existing LDP scores, mainly for LenMus eBooks, is preserved),
the spacing algorithm parameters have been adjusted. New LDP options
('Render.SpacingOptions' and "Render.SpacingFopt") has been added for
controlling the behaviour of the new spacing algorithm and the lines
breaker algorithm, so that users can have now full control of spacing
and lines breaking algorithm options.
Renderization is improved in several aspects:
- Score titles are now rendered.
- Additional syllables and elision symbols in lyrics are now rendered.
- Added more symbols for fermata.
- Names and brackets/braces for groups of instruments now rendered.
- Barlines for groups now can be joined. Also mensurstrich layout is
supported.
- Left barline at start of systems now also drawn in empty scores.
Added support, in LDP, for many music notations: lyrics, articulations
(accents & stress marks), dynamics marks, groups of instruments and
score titles.
Also several fixes and small changes:
- Fixes for avoiding compilation errors with c++11 compilers.
- Whitespace in text now properly managed in LMD files (issue #42).
- Default styles added to headings, paragraphs and tables (issue #43).
- New system tag now works again (issue #1).
- MusicXML importer now supports part groups.
- Added squared bracket for part groups (group symbol == line)

API documentation is available at http://lenmus.github.io/lomse/
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES WITH 0.17.20
Version 0.18.0 includes changes for defining the public API of the
following classes:

Mainly, changes for improving the MusicXML importer, for supporting
more music notation elements and for implementing visual regression tests.
Development moved to GitHub.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES WITH 0.16.1
COMPATIBLE CHANGES
- Version numbering scheme modified to add build inormation. Patch level
automatically increased with every merge.

Unicode support.
- Line number added to error messages related to XML files, for better
error reporting.
Score layouting improved:

- slurs
- lyrics
Continue development of MusicXML importer:
- barlines, repetition barlines and barlines at start of measures
- augmentation dots for notes and rests
- beams
- backup/forward
- full-measure rests
- fermatas
- ties
- articulations
- ornaments
- technical notations (just a few)

- derive note type from duration when type not present
Modifications in internal model:
- duration now explicit value for note/rest in internal model
- explicit mark in rests for full measure rests

element for changing default orientation.
- added several classes for supporting the added elements.
Renderization:
- Added engravers and all need objects (glyphs, shapes, etc) for
the new added music notation elements.
Small fixes:
- Removed background borders in document images generated for printing.
Other chages:
- CMakeLists.txt build script modified so that library name will be
always 'liblomse', without version numbers.
- CmakeLists.txt build script modified so that by default, the unit
tests runner program (testlib) is always built.
- All tests files reviewed and reorganized for visual regression
tests. Scripts for this created, so that regression tests will now
systematically be run after every library build.
- Added tutorial 1 for using Lomse in Qt applications.
- Fixed all warnings due to 'unused parameter'
Version 0.16.1 (7/Sep/2015)

- Code modified for using SMuFL compliant music fonts. Default font changed to
Bravura font. LenMus font (lmbasic2.ttf) removed, and from now unsupported.
- Defined default style for metronome marks. Added code for controlling that
default styles are not exported to source code unless they are modified.

Version 0.15.0 (27/Mar/2015)
Development continues. Mainly changes for supporting document edition. A few backwards
incompatible changes, that will require a couple of fixes in existing code using this
library.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES WITH 0.14.0
- enum EBarlines created.
→ Backwards compatibility: You have to replace all barline constants,
such as "ImoBarline::k_simple" by "k_barline_simple", etc
- The update screen policy has been reviewed and clarified. As a consequence some
changes has been made affecting, mainly, to Interactor class.
→ Backwards compatibility: Interactor::new_viewport() and all Interactor
methods for changing scale and zooming factor, now force a redraw. A third
parameter (bool fForceRedraw=true) has been added to these methods. You can
modify your existing code by specifying fForceRedraw=false for preventing
redraws and keep the old behaviour
- File format parameter added to LomseDorway::new_document() and
PresenterBuilder::new_document() for choosing source code format.
→ Backwards compatibility: You will have to review your code and add
this parameter with value 'Document::k_format_ldp' as that was the
expected format in previous versions.
