0.9.10 (and earlier missing versions from this log)

• arpg, a function to arpeggiate
• within', an alternate within with a different approach to time, following discussion here https://github.com/tidalcycles/Tidal/issues/313
• sine et al are now generalised so can be used as double or rational patterns
• New Sound.Tidal.Simple module with a range of simple transformations (faster, slower, higher, lower, mute, etc)
• slice upgraded to take a pattern of slice indexes
• espgrid support
• lindenmayerI
• sew function, for binary switching between two patterns
• somecycles alias for someCycles
• ply function, for repeating each event in a pattern a given number of times within their original timespan
• patternify juxBy, e, e', einv, efull, eoff

0.9.7

Enhancements

• The note pattern parameter is no longer an alias for midinote, but an independent parameter for supercollider to handle (in a manner similar to up)

0.9.6

Enhancements

• Added chord for chord patterns and scaleP for scale patterns
• The n pattern parameter is now floating point

0.9.5

Enhancements

• Added hurry which both speeds up the sound and the pattern by the given amount.
• Added stripe which repeats a pattern a given number of times per cycle, with random but contiguous durations.
• Added continuous function cosine
• Turned more pattern transformation parameters into patterns - spread', striateX, every', inside, outside, swing
• Added experimental datatype for Xenakis sieves
• Correctly parse negative rationals
• Added breakUp that finds events that share the same timespan, and spreads them out during that timespan, so for example (breakUp "[bd,sn]") gets turned into the "bd sn"
• Added fill which 'fills in' gaps in one pattern with events from another.

0.9.4

Fixes

• Swapped - for .. in ranges as quick fix for issue with parsing negative numbers
• Removed overloaded list thingie for now, unsure whether it's worth the dependency

0.9.3

Enhancements

• The sequence parser can now expand ranges, e.g. "0-3 4-2" is equivalent to "[0 1 2 3] [4 3 2]"
• Sequences can now be described using list syntax, for example sound ["bd", "sn"] is equivalent to sound "bd sn". They aren't lists though, so you can't for example do sound (["bd", "sn"] ++ ["arpy", "cp"]) -- but can do sound (append ["bd", "sn"] ["arpy", "cp"])
• New function linger, e.g. linger (1/4) will only play the first quarter of the given pattern, four times to fill the cycle.
• discretise now takes time value as its first parameter, not a pattern of time, which was causing problems and needs some careful thought.
• a rel alias for the release parameter, to match the att alias for attack
• _fast alias for _density
• The start of automatic testing for a holy bug-free future

Fixes

• Fixed bug that was causing events to double up or get lost, e.g. where rev was combined with certain other functions.
