-------
1.4.0.1
- (fixed) when opening audio input devices where the default
device has insufficient channels (e.g., MacOS input is mono
by default), logic has been added to also match sample rates
when searching for alternate audio input devices; additional
logic added in the specific case of mono input devices to
simulate stereo, to fulfill the standard request for stereo
input.
- (fixed) added check to prevent crash in rare situations involving
self-join when deleting XThread in background. (git PR #103)
- (fixed) by stuntgoat@github -- right-recursion in chuck parser
can exhaust memory in larger chuck files; this has been updated
to use left recursion. (git PR #32, (finally) merged by hand by
Spencer and Ge) Also thanks to Tom Lieber for the initial analysis
and solution:
https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/pipermail/chuck-users/2009-April/004029.html
- (added) by Nathan Tindall -- Q and freq bounding for filters (LPF,
HPF, BPF, BRF) to avoid LOUD FILTER EXPLOSIONS; now negative values
will throw an exception on the offending shred.
- (restored, macOS) MAUI Chugin now (re)supported, post 1.4.0.0
- (added; developer) ChucK.h API to set a main thread hook (e.g., for
graphical functionalitie from Chugins)
- (updated, developer) Chugin API now support main thread callback
for graphical-/GUI purposes
- (developer) refactored code to move I/O-related code out of
chuck_lang and into chuck_io.
Best,
Spencer, Ge, and ChucK team

Dear ChucKists,
I hope this finds you well. Since April, I have been hosting a Zoom
series called Artful Design TV (COVID-19 Edition): a multi-format weekly
series encompassing artful design, music, coding, critical making with
helpings of history and philosophy, and life check-ins for participants.
No experience is needed; it's free and all are welcome.
https://artful.design/tv/
This coming Wednesday (5/6) at 1pm PDT/UTC-7, join us live for an
episode all about ChucK. Perry Cook, Spencer Salazar, and I will host
to unpack the arcane art of programming language design, write some code
to make music, gaze into the abyss of the ChucK virtual machine, and
more. In a word: fun!
