v2.0
ab794c1
  • First release to be publicly available as free software released under AGPLv3
  • Refactoring of the core API
    • fix small API annoyances for the standard mode
    • streaming mode refactor. It is now much better defined, using sound computer science techniques (The visible network is a directed acyclic graph, the composites have better defined semantics, and the order of execution of the algorithms is the topological sort of the transitive reduction of the visible network after the composites have been expanded). In particular, the scheduler that runs the algorithms in the streaming mode is now a lot more correct, which permitted to clean all the small hacks that had accumulated in the algorithms themselves during the 1.x releases to compensate for the deficiencies of the initial scheduler.
  • New algorithms for onset detection, beat tracking and melody extraction
  • New and updated features extractors
  • Updated Vamp plugin
  • Much better documentation, more python examples
  • Bugfixes, more unittests, etc.

For post-release bugfixes use the 2.0 branch.
