Time for v1.10.0 ?

[yaxu]

I think we should make a new release to hackage soon!

One problem is the documentation is a bit in limbo, with a new website in preparation but stalled for the last few months. But perhaps we should just put it out anyway, so it can start making its way out into the world..

Here's the auto-generated changelog:

Full Changelog: v1.9.5...v1.10.0

[sss-create]

I think #1053 (I did not look into it yet) and the OSC controller thingy are candidates to be part of 1.10 too, I guess. What is there to do for the new docu/webpage? And is there already a release name, hehe?

[yaxu]

Ok #1053 fixed, is was a good one, thanks for the nudge! I guess the OSC controller thingy is done too?

Here is the TODO list for the docs from @trespaul :
Tidal docs rework (view)

No release name yet!

[trespaul]

Just note, that todolist is everything up to before the new release.

I'll try to determine soon the tasks necessary to get the site ready for publishing. And I'll also look through the changelog to see what needs to be changed. Other than that, for what's left we'll need to manually determine what docs need to change.

[geikha]

Name proposal: "aida"
https://jisho.org/word/%E9%96%93

I find it fits conceptually given the addition of steps, - rests, alternative muting, etc

[sss-create]

Nice! I thought about "Toprope", mainly because I did a beginners course last month hehe

[yaxu]

It sounds like it might be AI related though..

[yaxu]

I removed/converted some stale PRs, the remaining three need more attention..

[yaxu]

With changes to the core representation among other breaking changes, I think it would be better to make this v2.0.0

[sss-create]

I could work on it and make a PR, should be easy. Next thing that comes to mind is (re)naming of functions where appropriate combined with rethinking the tidal prelude idea.

[sss-create]

maybe we should look into #942 again when deciding on what to keep/replace/add as functions

[sss-create]

sorry for spam.
there exist many aliases, maybe we could reduce them for a v2 and create consistency in user faced functions naming regarding camel- or not case (I'd like all lowercase). and those apostroph and underscore version of functions often confuse me.

Tidal/src/Sound/Tidal/UI.hs

Lines 476 to 494 in a1876c1

	someCyclesBy :: Pattern Double -> (Pattern a -> Pattern a) -> Pattern a -> Pattern a
	someCyclesBy pd f pat = innerJoin $ (\d -> _someCyclesBy d f pat) <$> pd
	_someCyclesBy :: Double -> (Pattern a -> Pattern a) -> Pattern a -> Pattern a
	_someCyclesBy x = when test
	where
	test c = timeToRand (fromIntegral c :: Double) < x
	-- | Alias of 'someCyclesBy'.
	somecyclesBy :: Pattern Double -> (Pattern a -> Pattern a) -> Pattern a -> Pattern a
	somecyclesBy = someCyclesBy
	-- | @someCycles = 'someCyclesBy' 0.5@
	someCycles :: (Pattern a -> Pattern a) -> Pattern a -> Pattern a
	someCycles = someCyclesBy 0.5
	-- | Alias of 'someCycles'.
	somecycles :: (Pattern a -> Pattern a) -> Pattern a -> Pattern a
	somecycles = someCycles

[yaxu]

Hmm I don't think there's a need to break old patterns unnecessarily. Standardising case in terms of what's encouraged/documented would be good though.. Or we could just support both in all cases (ha).

Underscore functions are those without patterned parameters - useful for making new functions rather than part of the UI.

Apostrophe functions I've been trying to rename to something more descriptive.

[sss-create]

you're right about the pattern breaking point. Changing cases would break some things too, but I think consistency is important. So maybe we really should/could support both. I'm not sure.
