Since I ran out of time, I put OSX back to the way it was in
2.1.0...forced locale to en_US. Heck, I'm not sure there is
a "real" fix anyway.
At least, the problem languages appear to be happy now, even
when using the validators.
Since we don't actually change the locale when we change languages,
we can't use whatever is defined in the locale for the decimal and
thousands separator.
This is because standard library functions are used to format and
parse numbers and since these library functions use whatever is
set for the current locale, we can use comma for the fraction
separator or the period for the thousands separator.
This brings the builtin, LV2, and VAMP effects inline with the
Audio Units, LADSPA, and VST effects. All effects now share
a common UI.
This gives all effects (though not implemented for all):
User and factory preset capability
Preset import/export capability
Shared or private configuration options
Builtin effects can now be migrated to RTP, depending on algorithm.
LV2 effects now support graphical interfaces if the plugin supplies one.
Nyquist prompt enhanced to provide some features of the Nyquist Workbench.
It may not look like it, but this was a LOT of work, so trust me, there
WILL be problems and everything effect related should be suspect. Keep
a sharp eye (or two) open.
When building for wx3 on Linux, the backported number validators
and formatter conflicts with the wx3 version because I never
renamed them. Crashes during termination would occur because
the wx3 version and our version had different vtables.
I was thinking that we would just be able to delete the
backported version when upgrading to wx3, but since
we've made Audacity specific changes to them we can't
simply start using the real wx3 versions anymore.
Therefore, I needed to rename then to prevent the crashes.
We can't go to 3.0.1 yet as there are still build issues on
Linux and OSX. You can get Windows to build, but there's
still some display issues.
These changes should work with wxWidgets 2.8.12 as well, so
we can take our time to get things working properly before
switching over.
The are pretty darn slick. There's an integer one and a floating point
one. They support automatic range limiting (ex., you can't even type a
number outside of the range), proper number formats (ex., you can't
enter a decimal point in an integer field), you can't enter bogus
numbers like "0.3-.2", thousands separators are supported, decimal
precision may be specified and proper number formatting for string
values (or automatic conversion to int, double, float, etc.).
