Changes for version 6.060 - 2024-08-24

  • !Highlights
  • Configuration files are now [Really Relaxed JSON](https://metacpan.org/pod/JSON::Relaxed#REALLY-RELAXED-EXTENSIONS) files. These are much easier to write and maintain than JSON. Don't worry, everything is still backward compatible with the older JSON and slightly relaxed JSON formats. And ChordPro can [convert your config files](https://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/using-chordpro/#convert-config) for you.
  • Nick Berendsen kindly offered to create a native GUI for macOS. It looks great and behaves nicely in the way macOS applications should behave. And it doesn't have the restrictions on opening and saving of files that the 'classic' GUI suffers from. Thanks Nick!
  • ChordPro bundles free replacement fonts to be used instead of the corefonts. No configs or settings needed.
  • !Functionality
  • (PDF, page sort) Use sorttitle for page sorting.
  • Images: Ignore align with x percentage. Issue warning.
  • Detection of attributes in labels now requires quoting.
  • Handle \u escapes for surrogates and extended chars (\u{...}).
  • 'chordpro -A -A -A' will produce runtime info in JSON.
  • Add '--convert-config' to convert config to new style.
  • Add href property for images.
  • New metadata: chordpro, chordpro.version and chordpro.songsource.
  • Upgrade JSON::Relaxed to 0.096.
  • Upgrade SVGPFG to 0.087. Enables transparant SVG images.
  • Add independent horizontal and vertical scaling for images. Requires Text::Layout 0.037_002.
  • Upgrade Text::Layout to 0.038.
  • Allow fret -1 in {define}, and 'x' in json config for consistency.
  • Allow pdf.fonts.foo: bar (short for pdf.fonts.foo { description: bar }).
  • Allow label="..." for {chorus} and {grid}.
  • Add align property for diagram display.
