Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[Unreleased]

Added

• Builtin documentation for builtin functions display from repl and command line
• Suggestions which command line parameters user may wanted to use

Changed

• New parameter passing convention for command line invocation. musique help to learn how it changed

[0.4.0]

Added

• Builtin function documentation generation from C++ Musique implementation source code
• New builtins: digits
• Negative numbers!
• Version command via :version in REPL or --version, -v in command line.
• Introduced start synchronization with builtins: peers and start
• Connection with MIDI ports via parameters dropped in favour of function using context system: port
• Listing ports via REPL command: :ports instead of commandline parameter
• Building release with make musique.zip using Docker

Changed

• Readme from Polish to English

Removed

• Release script builder

Fixed

• ceil, round, floor didn't behave well with negative numbers
• duration wasn't filling note length from context and summed all notes inside chord, when it should take max
• try evaluated arguments too quickly
• Nested arithmetic expression with undefined operator reports proper error and don't crash

[0.3.1]

Fixed

• release build script was producing executable with wrong path
• examples/for-elise.mq had bug in it
• in error reporting printing garbage instead of function name was fixed
• sending proper program change message

[0.3.0]

Added

• new builtins: map, while, set_len, set_oct, duration, pick
• <note><octave> notation like c4 that mimics scientific notation
• operator pretty printing while printing values
• macros: builtin functions that takes AST and produces value
• early text-based snapshot system available via :snap command inside interactive session
• polish basic tutorial

Changed

• Block can be called with more parameters then it requires
• reorganized fold argument order
• Moved from (<note> <octave> <length>) invocation to (<note> <length>)
• Moved from '[]' to '()' notation for blocks
• Moved from a.n index operator to a[n]
• Moved from ';' to ',' notation for expression separator
• Moved 'if', 'while' from beeing functions to macros - side effect of new notation
• Build system uses now Docker
• Array repetition using number * array like 3 * (c, e) == (c, e, c, e, c, e)

Fixed

• Index operation using booleans behaves like a mask and not fancy way of spelling 0 and 1
• Blocks are check against beeing a collection at runtime to prevent treating anonymous functions as collections and cousing assertions
• On Windows default terminal emulator ansi escape codes are conditionally supported. Review musique/pretty.cc for details

Removed

• Removed <note><absolute notes indexes> chord notation like c47 meaning c-major
• Removed obsolete documentation
• h as note literal

[0.2.1] - 2022-10-21

Fixed

• Windows build doesn't require pthread dll

[0.2.0] - 2022-10-21

Added

• Added scan builtin, which computes prefix sum of passed values when provided with addition operator
• Added rtmidi dependency which should provide multiplatform MIDI support
• Support for Windows (with only basic REPL) (make os=windows)
• Support for MacOS (make os=macos)
• Release package now with compiled Windows binary
• :load REPL command to load Musique files inside Musique session. Allows for delayed file execution after a connection
• :quit REPL command that mirrors :exit command
• Virtual MIDI output port creation as default action (--output connects to existing one)
• Added build instructions
• -f commandline argument that will turn file into deffered function

Changed

• Integrated libmidi library into Musique codebase
• Moved from custom ALSA interaction to using rtmidi for MIDI I/O operations
• VSCode extension has been re-created

Removed

• Support for incoming MIDI messages handling due to poor implementation that didn't statisfy user needs

Fixed

• Prevented accidental recursive construction of Arrays and Values by making convinience constructor Value::Value(std::vector<Value>&&) explicit

[0.1.0] - 2022-09-25

Added

• Musique programming language initial implementation that supports:
• Chord system
• Playing MIDI notes using par, sim and play
• Notes and chords as first-class citizens of Musique
• Bunch of builtins like math and array operations
• All numerical values as fractions (like in JavaScript but better)
• Primitive interactive mode
• Only ALSA MIDI Sequencer output
• Simple regression testing framework
• Basic documentation of builtin functions and operators
