MadHelix 0.4.0 Adaptable Edition
UltrasonicMadness 1 jaar geleden 0 aanpassingen aan master sinds deze versie
It's been a long time since the last release - over 4 years since 0.3.0. A lot has happened in that time, much of which has kept me away from maintaining this, but better late than never.
Additions:
- New option to randomly pick the SoundHelix style used to generate the song - this is also the new default style option.
- New play controls to skip backwards and forwards through a song.
Changes:
- Song history is now stored in XML instead of JSON, reducing external dependencies. A Python script is included to convert the old format to the new one - this is run from the top project folder as ./utils/history_converter.py - the timestamp may not be perfectly preserved as the JSON format used local time while the XML format uses UTC.
- New icons from GNOME 44.
- Preferences are now stored and loaded by MadHelix.
- Windows are now resizable. This was intended to make MadHelix work better on mobile but there are still usability issues that will require a serious overhaul. To try it on Phosh, make sure to set the environment variable _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING to 1.

MadHelix 0.3.0
Additions:
- A new dialog has been added which shows songs that have been played. This dialog can be accessed using the keyboard shortcut CTRL+H and logging songs can be disabled by accessing the preferences dialog.
- There is now a timer and a seek bar to show how long generated songs are and how far through the song MadHelix is. The seek bar can be dragged to rewind and fast-forward through the song.
Changes:
- Running MadHelix no longer outputs SoundHelix.log files.
- Styles are now always displayed in alphabetical order.

MadHelix 0.2.0 Anniversary Edition
A year has passed since the first release of MadHelix (then UltrasonicHelix) so I have spent some time fixing some problems I noticed when using it.
Additions:
- MadHelix now includes the SoundHelix-Guitar style from SoundHelix's SourceForge repository.
- Basic keyboard shortcuts: CTRL+P to play a song and CTRL+S to stop.
- The MIDI output directory can now be configured from the new preferences dialog.
Changes:
- The buttons now use icons from the Adwaita Icon Theme instead of the Unicode characters from before; this should translate to a more consistent look across different platforms.
- Moved file export options to a separate dialog.
- MadHelix windows now open in the centre of the screen.
Bugfixes:
- The thread used to run SoundHelix no longer runs when SoundHelix itself is not playing a song.
- Songs with long titles no longer break the layout.
-
MadHelix 0.1.0
Changelog:
- Name changed to MadHelix
- License clarified (SoundHelix seems to be under GPLv3 only)
- Improved the build system - this now uses Apache Ant
- There is now an option which automatically exports songs as MIDI files.
- A lot of minor changes which should hopefully make the program run more smoothly.
