OOoLilyPond 0.5.12

Changes to OOoLilyPond 0.5.12 since 0.5.11 (November 2019):

• Fixed: Include statement had been ignored if the containing Office document had never been saved to a file.
• Added template: Piano.ly (Only a [SVG] version existed so far)
• Fixed: All temporary image files are deleted after running OOoLilyPond.
• New feature: OLy now recognizes template files that are located in the folder of the containing Office document.
  (This makes it easier to share your documents with other persons - sharing your templates might be required as well.)
  If no template with the right name is found there, OLy looks in the template folder (as before).
  In addition, if the template folder doesn't contain a matching file, OLy will search in its subfolder(s).
  (There you can store templates that you don't want to be listed in the Editor dialog.)
• New feature: When compilation errors are displayed in the Editor dialog, also count them and display an error number.
• New feature: Field names (Line Width, Staff Size, Custom 1, Costom 2) can be configured. F.ex. to replace
  the "Custom 1" caption by "Transpose:", include the following line in your code:
  % %{OOoLilyPondCustom1Label%}Transpose:%{OOoLilyPondEnd%}
  This feature is fully backward compatible: Older OLy versions simply ignore that.
• Built-in templates now use the new "Field names" feature.

0.5.11 + experimental features (unstable)

testing some experimental features
! not necessarily bug-free !

OOoLilyPond 0.5.11

Changes to OOoLilyPond 0.5.11 since 0.5.10 (November 2019):

• For Linux and Mac, now the configuration is read from the XDG-compliant config path
  ~.config/ooolilypond/config if such a file exists.
  (You can manually move your config file there.)
  Otherwise the typical ~/.ooolilypond is used.
• Fixed: A placeholder for the path of the current LO document could accidentally be added to (and saved with) the Include statement.
• Fixed: Error messages and warnings from LilyPond (through file OOoLilyPond.out) were not parsed correctly.
• Fixed: "Ignore Warnings" checkbox renamed to "Ignore messages from LilyPond" to reflect its true behaviour
• Fixed: LilyPond-created image could be inserted more than once in some cases:
  [creating new snippet (not editing existing one), OLy window stays open due to error in Ly code,
  pressing LilyPond button several times]
• New feature: "pdf to svg" as graphic file format
  (call external converter to convert LilyPond's pdf output to svg format)

The new "pdf to svg" option requires an additional conversion software to be installed. In OLy's config dialogue, a suitable command line must be specified.
For Linux and Mac, it should be sufficient to install the "pdf2svg" package via any package manager. The default settings in the config dialogue should work without further changes.
For Windows, a third-party conversion tool must be installed at your own risk.
A detailed explanation can be found here in the OLy Wiki:
https://github.com/openlilylib/LO-ly/wiki/Config#pdf-to-svg

There have also been some changes to the language files. So, after updating to 0.5.11, please open the config dialog and click the "Restore Language Files" button.
(Your current language files will be backed up in a subfolder. If you like, you can delete that subfolder.

For LibreOffice, choose the ordinary file OOoLilyPond-0.5.11.oxt.
For OpenOffice, there is a special version that fixes a problem with the automatic creation of a toolbar in Office.

OOoLilyPond 0.5.10

Changes to OOoLilyPond 0.5.10 since 0.5.9 (May 2019):

• Fixed: In include statements, special characters (like e.g. German umlauts) are now handled correctly (Issue #27). Thanks to Hannes E. Schäuble for finding, reporting and fixing this bug.
• Fixed: If a file named "OOoLilyPond.ly" (OLy's temp file name) was present in an include path, it was used instead of the one in the temp path. Now OLy will always explicitely specify the temp path before the file name.

OOoLilyPond 0.5.9

Changes to OOoLilyPond 0.5.9 since 0.5.8 (May 2019):

• OLy will now automatically search for include files in the folder where the current LibreOffice document is located. In case there are files with the same name in different folders, OLy will first look in the current LO document's folder. Thus, include files from here will have priority over those from other folders that are specified in the include statement.

Thanks to Hannes E. Schäuble for this useful enhancement!

OOoLilyPond 0.5.8

Changes to OOoLilyPond 0.5.8 since 0.5.7 (December 2018):

• Partial Spanish translation added (Thanks to Fernando Villagran!)
  To have the new language file "espanol.ini" available in the config dialog,
  please launch OLy, open the config dialog and click the "Restore Language Files" button.
  (Your current language files will be backed up in a subfolder. If you like, you can delete that subfolder.
• Added option to have PNG graphics with transparent background (instead of opaque white background)
  (Issue 23) #23
  If you are missing the French or German translation for that option,
  click the "Restore Language Files" button (see above).
• Fixed an incompatibility with LibreOffice's new GraphicURL handling.
  In LO 6.1.0 and 6.1.1 (for Draw/Impress: also 6.1.2, 6.1.3 and 6.1.4), the "Direct" option for "Insert Graphics" is broken.
  For those affected LO versions the "Via Clipboard" option should be used.
  The new OLy 0.5.8 release will work with all older and newer versions than those mentioned above,
  so as of LO 6.1.5, the "Direct" option should work again.
  (Issue 22) #22
• The automatic toolbar creation during OLy installation has been reverted to the method used in OLy 0.5.6 and before.
  It turned out that the method used in 0.5.7 only worked in newer OpenOffice versions (due to a changed behavior
  in the OpenOffice history), but is incompatible to LibreOffice.
  (Issue 19) #19
  (There will be a dedicated version for OpenOffice...)

Only for LibreOffice 6.1.3: Some dialog or message windows show "10" at the beginning of a line. This is due to a bug in LO 6.1.3 that has already been fixed for 6.1.4.
So LO 6.1.3 is the only affected version.

OOoLilyPond 0.5.7

Changes to OOoLilyPond 0.5.7 since 0.5.6:

• When installing the extension in OpenOffice, the automatic creation of an OLy toolbar failed. This ist fixed now.
  Thanks to the anonymous contributor who pointed out this solution in his comment on
  https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/OOoLilyPond

(Only tested with OpenOffice. Strangely enough, LibreOffice 6.0.2.1 won't let me delete existing toolbars.)

Update (June 2018): First, this release 0.5.7 showed up in the extension manager as 0.5.6 - this is fixed now.
