Jokosher News II: This Time Its Personal

While the last blog entry is still smouldering with newness, I have some late breaking news that you lovely people should know about – namely about Jokosher in distributions and a brand spanking new extension.

Jokosher 0.2 is now available for Ubuntu Feisty and Arch Linux. Inside those distros, just install the package and run it. All the dependencies are there and Jokosher 0.2 is ready to roll. As usual test, report bugs and discuss.

Secondly, the inimitable John Green has created a new extension that demonstrates the kind of stuff that Jokosher Extensions are great for. His extension solves the problem of importing audio into Jokosher and not knowing what tempo you should set the metronome click track to. with John’s extension you simply press play and tap the button in time with the music and correct tempo will be set. Sweet! As with all extensions, we encourage developers to tell us what API methods are needed that may be missing. In fact, John added the get_bpm, set_bpm, get_meter and set_meter methods to the API. As usual, the Extensions documentation is here.
