Dear Friends,
Frescobaldi 3.1 has been released! There are many new features.
Wonderful!
I am very grateful to many co-developers that now contribute on a
regular basis: Urs Liska, Peter Bjuhr, and many others.
Many thanks to all of you. I use Frescobaldi so much.
Download the source tarball at:
https://github.com/frescobaldi/frescobaldi/releases
Note that Frescobaldi is now part of the GitHub organisation with the
same name :-) to reflect that I'm certainly not the only one managing
this project :-)
Note to distributors and users of a git checkout: the MO (Message
Object) files with the translations are not in git anymore, but they are
built manually before packaging a source tarball.See INSTALL. When
installing from the source tarball it is not needed to build the MO
files.
Other notes:
- A recent version of the poppler library is needed to make vector
graphics drawing and copying in the Music View work well.
- Frescobaldi does not use QtWebkit anymore, but instead now depends on
QtWebEngine and its related modules.
I confess that I'm a bit of a novice regarding installation via tarball.
I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.
I cannot find Frescobaldi 3.1 in my Ubuntu Software app.
I downloaded the tarball, but I'm unsure where to put it and/or extract it. I tried putting it in its own directory in my /home directory, then extracting it there, but I still cannot figure out how to install it, even after reading the install file. I would greatly appreciate some further advice about how, what, and where I need to install Frescobaldi 3.1 and associated required files. For example, do I need to separately download and install Python 3.8.1? If I'm installing on my machine, do I need QtWebEngine? (I can't find that through Ubuntu Software, either.) Or should I wait until the Ubuntu Software application recognizes Frescobaldi 3.1?
(I *am* trying to learn Linux from the command line, but it takes a while and my elderly brain is slow on the uptake.)
Many thanks to everyone who helps so much with Lilypond and Frescobaldi!
All the best,
Ralph
