 Ian Gardner and Yves Guillemot have worked together for nearly a year to
 invent, implement, and refine the new concept of linked segments, which allow
 you to maintain a master performance in one segment while copying it to other
 places, or even other tracks.

 When manipulating segments in the main window, Ctrl+Alt+drag creates a linked
 segment from an existing one, and there is a new Turn Links into Copies
 entry on the Segment menu.  Repeated segments may be displayed in the notation
 editor (in gray), and depending on the state of the configuration option, the
 original segment may or may not be modified in notation from its repeating
 copies.  Redundant clefs and keys may be hidden automatically, within one
 segment or a chain of consecutive segments.  This new work also improves
 Rosegarden's long-standing problems with anacrusis in notation.

 Tom Breton added several new features, and carried out a number of internal
 optimizations. Composition -  Fit Existing Beats to Beat Segment takes a
 beat track and adjusts tempo to put real time and beats exactly on the given
 notes.  Segment -  Expand Block Chord Segments by Figuration lets you 
 define
 a bar of figuration and expand it for every block chord in a segment.
 Finally, Edit -  Clear Range of Tempos allows you to remove all tempo
 changes falling within a defined range.

 Additionally, Daren Beattie, Alvar Udras, and D. Michael McIntyre formed a
 miniature version of the original porting team.  The 10.02 release saw
 Rosegarden transformed from a KDE 3 application into a Qt 4 application, but
 much work remained to be done to remove all lingering remnants of the old
 code.  With this release, Rosegarden improves its chances of long-term
 survival by eliminating its reliance on the Qt 3 support layer.  With these
 ties to the past removed at last, it should be much less involved when the
 future arrives, and we find ourselves needing to port to Qt 5.

 = New Features =
* Linked segments
* Turn Links into Copies entry is added to the segment menu
* Repeated segments may be may be displayed in the notation editor in
 several optional ways
* Redundant clefs and keys may be hidden automatically
* In the configuration dialog a new tab controls the preceding features
* Changed the behavior of SegmentSplitCommand to ensure that if a segment
 was selected before being split, the two new split segments would also be
 selected
* Fit to Beats; takes a beat track and adjusts tempo to put real time and
 beats exactly on the given notes
* Erase Tempos in Range
* Expand Figuration, which lets you define a bar of figuration and expand 
 it
 for every block chord in a segment
* Improved performance of VU meters
* Linked segments can be used to create repeats with 1..n alternate endings
 (with some caveats)
* Create Anacrusis automates a tedious sequence of steps, making it a snap
 to start pickup notes at precisely the right time, with all the following
 segments lining up properly

 = Bug Fixes =
* Fixed B#/Cb octave export problem in MusicXML and Mup
* Fixed problem with segments repeating when they shouldn't have been
* Fixed the solo buttons in the transport toolbars in the notation and
 matrix editors, and changed the behavior so that the solo button is in the
 same state everywhere, no matter what content is being displayed in a
 particular window
* Fixed the settings amnesia problem with the main window parameter area
* Fixed a bug where events beyond the end marker of the first segment in a
 join would appear in the joined segment
* After joining segments, the newly created segment is now selected
* Pitch tracker now tracks pitches when they are in octaves below notated
 with ignore
 octave error on
* Pitch tracker honors ignore octave error flag
* Default pitch tracker settings are no longer stupid
* Flats were not cancelled on a C-maj key change
* Rulers in notation were desynchronized when a segment was deleted while
 some zoom factor was in use
* The anacrusis problem which was giving a broken notation when a segment
 in contact with a preceding one was not starting at the beginning of a bar

Try renaming the archive to Rosegarden-11.11.tar.bz2

Actually it's probably the space that's causing the problem!

The SPACE?!

It seems your friendly neighborhood release technician completely screwed the 
pooch on this one.

After performing the release, the big green download button said 
rosegarden-11.11.tar.bz2 and I went into the file properties thing to change 
the button label.  In my haste, I changed the filename field instead of the 
download button field, and actually named the file Rosegarden 11.11.

How humiliating.

I changed the filename back, changed the label, and everything should be 
working once this change propagates out to all the mirrors.  As of this 
writing, I had to wait 10 minutes before I could download the file, but it 
seems to be propagating now.

My sincerest apologies for the inconvenience I caused everyone!

OK, thanks all, renaming to Rosegarden-11.11.tar.bz2 worked for the 
extraction part.

Tried this on both my 64bit DAW and my 32bit office machine. All functions seem
fine so far but there is one oddity with audio tracks.

They play quite correctly, but (in the main display) the first 15 bars or so of
each segment look as though there is nothing there.

I tried this both by loading existing projects, and by creating a completely
new one and dropping a wav file onto it.

Both of my machines are running variations on debian squeeze.

The audio preview stuff was definitely one thing that got hit pretty hard when 
we removed all the legacy Qt 3 code.  There's a good possibility that this is 
broken for real.  I'll see what I can find a bit later.

It's about bar 17 for me.  Nothing before that, and thereafter everything 
seems fine.  Previews from that point on sync up to the audio, so it's not 
simply a matter of the previews being drawn offset in time, and starting in 
the wrong place.

Puzzling.  Maybe I can fix it in time to re-release 11.11.11 :)
