We are pleased to announce the release of version 5.15.  The sources

are on the standard Sourceforge location

(https://sourceforge.net/projects/csound/files/csound5/csound5.15/)

as both zip and tar.gz
Platform packages will follow shortly, and the manual on Friday.

Notes for 5.15

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
New parser has been subjected to a great deal of work.  It now has

better checking of argument types and use, better diagnostics and

increased functionality.  We have only reached this stage in the last

few days so we judge it prudent to leave the old parser as standard.

We would be pleased if more users tried the new and gave the

developers feedback.
A major reorganisation means that there are many fewer plugins and

most opcodes are in the base (about 1250 of them).  A side effect of

that is that leaving old plugins from an earlier release is a

disaster, and so 5.15 will not load earlier plugins.
The multicore system is now safe (ie maintains semantics) when zak,

channels or table modification are made.
New Opcodes:

        ftab2tab transfers between ftables and t-variables

        tab2pvs   tsig - pvs conversion

        pvs2tab   pvs - tsig conversion

        cpumeter-- not really new but now available in OSX

        (EXPERIMENTAL) ftresize and ftresizei allow resizing of

            existing tables.   These will be permanent if the

            community feel they are useful.

        minmax opcodes

        hrtfearly, hrtfreverb opcodes
New Gen and Macros:

        Code to allow GEN49 to be deferred [NB does not seem to work]
Modified Opcodes and Gens:

        socksend and sockrecv no longer uses MTFU check and work on =

Windows

        mpulse changed so if next event is at negative time use the =

absolute value

        serial opcode now runs on Windows as will as Un*x

        out, out2, outq, outh, outo outx and out32 are now identical

            opcodes and will take up to as many arguments as nchnls.

            This replaces the current remapping of opcodes

        turnoff2 now polymorphic wrt S and k types (ie accepts =

instrumnet names)
Utilities
Bugs fixed:

        GEN42 fixed

        jacko: fixed a segfault removing the unused JackSessionID option

        doppler memory leak fixed

        transegr fixed in release mode when skipping most of envelope

        FLPack now agrees with manual

        max_k now agrees with manual

        hrtfreverb fixed

        atsa code now works on Windows in more cases

        tabmorph bug fixed

        fixed problem with user-defined opcodes having no outputs

        Various fixes to * ... */ comments
System Changes:

        Various licence issues sorted      =20

        Loris is no longer part of the Csound tree

        Memory leaks fixed

        If no score is given a dummy that runs for over 100 years is

            created

        All score processing takes place in memory without temporary

            files

        String memory now expandable and no size limitation

        #if #else #end now in new parser

        Adjustments to MIDI file precision in output

        On OSX move from Coreaudio to AuHAL

        Multicore now safe for ZAK, Channels and modifying tables

        New coremidi module

        Virtual Keyboard improved:

                1) Dropdown for choosing base octave (the one that

                starts with the virtual key mapped to physical key

                Z). Default value is 5 which is backwards compatible. =20=
                2) Shift-X mappings which add two octaves to X

                mappings for a total of 4 octaves playable from the

                physical keyboard (starting from selected base octave).=20=
                3) Control-N / Control-Shift-N mappings to increment

                / decrement slider for control N.

                4) Mouse wheel now controls sliders.

        tsig type for vectors

        tsigs and fsigs allowed as arguments in UDOs
API:

    Minor version upped
Internal:

    Very, very, very many!
