We’re almost there. So close that I’m essentially treating v3.3-BETA-5 as a Release Candidate and am releasing it publicly to broaden feedback before the final release.
So, if you’re here as an existing Patreon supporter I wanted to take this moment to thank-you for all your support - this release wouldn’t be possible without you. You’re all amazing! Hugs
Please note that this is a BETA release. Whilst I’m pretty sure it’s close to release quality, there may still be some issues and problems that you encounter. If you do, please do let me know down in the comments below or if you’re feeling keen by creating an issue over on Github Issues.
Thanks x
Thanks again to everyone involved - this was most definitely a collaborative effort including work from programmers, translators and support from accessibility experts. See a full list of contributors here.
Can you tell us the path of a new fresh set up ?
Can’t find the way to relaunch the beta version…
Can we have two versions on one computer the 3.2 stable and the next 3.3-beta5
@nlb - that depends if you downloaded the macOS or the Windows version.
The Windows version installs side-by-side the official release. So you’ll see “Sonic Pi” and “Sonic Pi BETA” if you have them both installed. (New versions of the official release will replace old versions of the official release and new versions of the BETA will replace old versions of the BETA).
The macOS version is a stand-alone app folder structure that comes in a zip directory and you can install it wherever you want, so you’d just need to give it a different name and pop it into your Applications directory or you could make a BETA directory and put it in there. It’s up to you really
I find the menus very verbose, talky
On the menu Code, tell me if i am wrong but the sentence “show code completion” could be more “Code completion” and if it sticked we understand it’s on, no ?
It can be applied on many menus where show is not essential to understand the entry. Show in french is Afficher a long long word
personally I prefer more descriptive and friendly menu entries over shorter more terse ones.
In your example “Code completion” doesn’t say what that specific menu entry is going to do. Is it going to jump to it, is it going to enable it, is it going to show it… etc. I much prefer to be clear about the actual action of the entry rather than making it implicit and hoping people might guess correctly.
Possibly - although I have never used function keys (my keyboard doesn’t even have them) and my Mac is more useful using the touchbar interface than the old-school Function keys.
Happy for someone to look into adding the shortcut if they have energy and desire.
Just dl’d beta 6 and it won’t load. I see the splash screen and then poof.
I’m running Windows10. Tried it before and after a restart, with other apps running and without. And the task manager doesn’t show any sign of the process.
