This patch release introduces an AppImage build and fixes a number of bugs and inconsistencies found since version 1.2.1

Added

  • Hydrogen is now released as AppImage for Linux as well.
  • Playlist dialog can now be resized and remembers geometry,
    position, as well as visibility.
  • Save and restore Director position, geometry, and visibility.
  • New and properly licensed AppStream metainfo files
    org.hydrogenmusic.Hydrogen.metainfo.xml replace old
    org.hydrogenmusic.Hydrogen.appdata.xml.
  • Hydrogen shows an error dialog and exits on the first invocation
    with no hydrogen.conf file present on user and system level
    (application was not properly installed).
  • A new cmake option WANT_DYNAMIC_JACK_CHECK was
    introduced. When set Hydrogen does check on startup whether
    jackd, jackdbus, or pw-jack is installed and disables JACK
    support in case none of them was found. This is intended for
    bundled builds, like AppImage and Flatpak, and can be overridden
    by setting the audio driver manually to "Jack" in the
    hydrogen.conf or by passing the "-d jack" CLI option.

Changed

  • Spanish translation updated.
  • Minor tweaks in French and German translation.
  • On Linux the order of audio drivers tried when selecting Auto
    changed from "JACK > ALSA > OSS > PulseAudio" to
    "JACK > PulseAudio > ALSA > OSS".

Fixed

  • Style combo box in Preferences > Appearance > Interface is
    working again.
  • Fix segfault on hitting "Panic" button while transport was
    rolling.
  • Instrument/strip-specific actions, like MIDI action
    STRIP_MUTE_TOGGLE, did void the instrument selection of the
    Instrument Editor if the specified instrument was not the
    currently selected one.
  • Do not start playback at cursor when cursor in Song Editor is
    beyond the current song length.
  • Fixed compatibility with PortMidi version 217 (Hydrogen v1.2.1
    was incompatible) (#1795). All versions of Hydrogen >=1.3 will,
    however, require on a more recent PortMidi version (at least
    v2.0.1).
  • Fixed allowed range of MIDI output notes to be [0,127] again
    (#1828) (introduced in v1.2.0).
  • Hydrogen does now successfully startup even if no data folder is
    present on user and system level.
  • Allow an arbitrary number of notes in a pattern (#1827).
  • Fix playback track volume fader (#1449)
