ROSEGARDEN 1.7.3 RELEASED

The Rosegarden team is proud to announce the release of version 1.7.3 of Rosegarden, an audio and MIDI sequencer and musical notation editor for Linux.

http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/

This is primarily a bug fix/maintenance release. It addresses some critical track-related crashes that have been affecting users over the last couple of releases, and introduces assorted other minor fixes, such as improved multi-track recording for transposing instruments. It also includes the incomplete beginnings of several improvement projects that have all been postponed for now while we focus all our attention on the port to Qt4.

We hope for this to be the final release of the KDE/Qt3-based Rosegarden. All work on this line of code has been suspended, and all of our effort is going into the new Qt4-based Rosegarden “Thorn” which we hope to release at some point in 2009. Unless we discover some truly critical problems with this release, any bugs and usability complaints will be deferred until after Thorn has entered the beta testing phase, and all new work will be done on the new code.

Interested contributors should submit any patches against Thorn, as patches against 1.7.3 and earlier releases will no longer be accepted unless there are extenuating circumstances. Please inquire on the rosegarden-devel mailing list if you have any questions or concerns.

We thank you, the Rosegarden community, for your patience during the long wait leading up to this current release, and for the even longer wait for Thorn.
