What does final really mean? I guess one day I’ll stop working on code for a reason good or bad.seafire wrote: Sun Feb 02, 2025 12:06 am Excuse my ignorance, and delete if this is inappropriate/wrong, but..
Is this a final released synth or still in beta?
I always get a bit confused with this open source/discord/stuff
No offence meant, just trying to keep up.
Strategy we’ve taken in surge land is to have a nightly which is the absolute latest version of the code and when we believe the code is at a good stable point to give it a number. So in this case 1.0.4 is a version of the synth I think is stable and usable and the version built on GitHub is immutable and stable
The difference between open source and closed source approaches is we do all of the inter version development completely in public. And to make life easy for users who want to follow that have a “nightly”. This rebuilds every time we change the code sometimes 5-10 times a day. And depending on project is a different level of stability.
With six sines it’s all a bit compressed. I wrote the whole thing in about 30 days - really 15 days of super focus - so versions are coming quickly. And we are using some new tech so there’s bug reports coming quickly too. I think I know what’s causing the keyboard error reported above for instance … but need to install s1 or live on windows to check i think.
But short version: if you want a stable version use 1.0.4. If you want the exciting new bits use the nightly. But the nightly may get a bug if I get sloppy one afternoon (doesn’t usually happen tho)
