This is intended to be the last release before TSE3 goes 'beta'. Improvements include:

  • A much improved Notifier class. TSE3 callbacks now have different methods for different events, with arbitrary numbers of parameters. This is a great improvement.
  • Work-arounds for gcc bugs which caused errors for some people compiling 0.0.11.
  • OSSMidiScheduler can now have multiple paths specified for patches directories, separated by colons. This allows TSE3 to support Red Hat and SuSE installations straight out of the box.
  • Improved documentation.

  • New CommandGroup command class that can logically group a number of commands for a single undo/redo operation.

 29 August 2000: 0.0.9 release
The 0.0.9 brings better structured API documentation; as well as the comprehensive reference, you can now browse one section per namespace (see the documentation page for details). Also minor improvements to the implementation (see the History file in the source archive).

 16 August 2000: 0.0.8 release
The 0.0.8 release sees a tidy up of some of the API. This means that some TSE3 bits have been renamed, and some files moved. In addition there are some new namespaces, and others have been renamed. In the run up to a stable 1.0 release these issues have been addressed. (The changes should not affect any current users since they are in some of the more advanced parts of the library.)

In addition there is more application support and command class implementation.
