xlights/nutcracker 3.2.5 released

[smeighan]

This release has two parts
1) Bug fix. we had the letter 'u' or F5 used as a hot key to update the grid. The letter 'u' was being blocked when entering text. we removed 'u'. the only hot key now is F5.
2) Added 3 or 4 more timing files into the songs directory. There is a new file README.songs that will eventually have the links of where to buy the songs that match the timing files.

Noticed the latest release is about 5MB bigger...looks like you included a bonus mp3 in it 01-04- Linus And Lucy.mp3 is in the songs directory. Not sure if that's intentional, but thought I'd point it out. Very happy to have Its the most wonderful time as I'm using that in my show this year (because of the work Stuart did on the animated face!).

drlucas can you start a new sequence based on a media file in this version?  It is grayed out and cannot select anything there.

that will have to come out I am sure!

Is there a higher quality version on line to buy?  The noise floor on that particular mp3 is very high.

[drlucas]

I might have to be a file folder higher in the path....you need the mp3 in your xlights document directory.

As for the other question - not sure it's the same version, but itunes has that song for download...

Morning Sean,

Did the dankulp stop working on the mac builds?
If so do you know the step required to create the mac versions. I do have Xcode on my mac and I have written some programs.

Thanks

I just uploaded the latest Mac builds.  However, I'm not 100% sure it's going to work.  I upgraded to Maverics and the latest XCode and that required some changes to get things compiling again. 

I ALSO made it a 32/64 bit binary so it actually should work in 64bit mode as well.  Not sure it's actually needed, but thought I'd try it.  :-)

For Mac releases we need dan kulp to pull the latest code and build a distro.

One question: I don't know if its a typo or the wrong version was used. The files says ver 3.2.5 but the program says ver 3.2.4

Rick R.

Can you try the 3.2.6 version?    I think I may have just grabbed things from git between some of Sean's pushes.

The Audacity choice will gray out if you don't pick it before the audio file.

Is there a trick on the mac build to be able import timing?  I can't expand the window to do the other radio buttons.

[dkulp]

Sean,

I can verify that window snapshot on my Mac as well.   Any idea what in the UI code needs to be updated?

Just uploaded a new 3.2.6b build for the Mac that should fix this display issue along with some other display issues.

Also: for Linux folks cloning the git repo, the Schedule tab should now be visible again.
