LAC 2007 was great. Was nice to meet all these people. The buzztard demo was well received. I will try to make a screencast of the upnp remote control feature. I could only demo it there at a second attempt as I didn't received the wifi router which was needed for the demo. I have put the slides online (if someone knows how the get rid of the stripes that openoffice 2 produces when exporting slides with a gradient in the background to pdf, I am listening). For the slides I updated the architecture picture and put it on the wiki too. The time there was good to fix a lot of small issues. I belive its a good time to try the project now. If everything goes right we try to release a 0.2 end of april.

First bigger change is the settings UI. We have icons there for the subpages and there are two new subpages - for the playback controller (upnp via coherence) and for the coming interaction controller. The settings of the playback device is instant apply now (except when playing, it will be switched after stopping). Speaking of the interaction controller - implementation has started there. This is one thing I would like to get into 0.2 still. I'll explain in more detail once it is done.

I also spend lots of time doing maintenance - the api docs have been updated, extended and uploaded, thanks to some valgrinding sessions some memleaks have been found and fixed and refdbg helped to track down more ref-count issues. Also now 'make distcheck' runs through for the first time. Finally I could fix one xlib warning, which broke playback when playing with realtime effects.

During and after LAC I also spend time to work one small, but annoying things. First I refactored the missing machines dialog so that it can remember elements it already warned about. Next items was the level meters, they now are more reactive and show current as well as peak level. The ui should be a bit more usable too. The keyboard shortcut for switching between patterns and sequence (ctrl-enter) was broken. When adding a new src-machines it also creates a track in sequence automatically. In pattern and sequence view bt-edit shows unused patterns in gray color (in the menu/list).

Altogether a nice list of fixes and enhancements.
