Re: ANN: Frescobaldi 3.2

[Matthew Probst]

Just to clarify--if the pageview thingy is now required to be installed first, does that mean that a future packaged Windows version might have that plus the appropriate verison of Python packaged with it?  I'm fine waiting for that, but wanted to know.

Dear Friends,

Lots of people contributed to this new release of Frescobaldi 3.2,
which actually has been in the works for quite a long time. Thanks!!
Recently it became urgent to fix various issues that arose in
Frescobaldi (and many programs that use Python-Qt bindings) with Python
3.10, where you no longer can give a floating point value to a function
that requires an integer. Python releases are so quick :-)

So hopefully this new release[1] fixes those annoyances. But it brings
also some nice new features; see for an overview[2]:

[1] https://github.com/frescobaldi/frescobaldi/releases/tag/v3.2
[2] https://github.com/frescobaldi/frescobaldi/blob/v3.2/ChangeLog

Note that there is a dependency change: the qpageview module, thus far
in frescobaldi_app/qpageview, is now, because of its generic nature, a
separate project at http://qpageview.org/ . This package needs to be
installed for Frescobaldi to work; it is used by the Music View and
other viewers inside Frescobaldi. Because of this, be sure to remove
Frescobaldi completely and then install qpageview and Frescobaldi,
otherwise it still finds the old qpageview inside the frescobaldi_app
folder.

In the meantime I worked on two new Python packages: parce[3] and
quickly[4], which together will supersede python-ly. In the future they
will help Frescobaldi with an even more thorough musical understanding
of the LilyPond source text, making (probably) more interesting music
manipulations possible.

Enjoy!
