2.0 release

This is the second major release of gfret, bringing a major code cleanup and reorganization and several new features. The big news is that the interface has been ported to Gtk+ version 4. This necessitated a number of changes to match syntax as well as some rethinking of the basic assumptions around which the interface had previously been built.

The fretboard-layout crate which serves as the backend to gfret has seen significant improvements as well. The logic which handled anything color related has been moved into a new crate called rgba-simple. Two new abilities have been added, the ability to output right or left handed output, and the ability to output Imperial measurements as well as Metric.

  • Enable left handed output
    • Gui changed from a simple checkbox enabling the multiscale output to a combobox.
    • When Monoscale is selected, all Multiscale related controls are completely hidden rather than just greyed out.
    • Internally, the Specs struct represents whether the neck is Mono or Multi scaled using the Variant enum, which has an attached scale length and Handedness enum when Multiscale is selected.
  • Enable switching between Imperial or Metric units
    • The Config struct has a new field units which is represented by an enum Units
    • All widget values and ranges are adjusted by a factor of 20.4 when switching between units
  • Revamped Preferences dialog
    • Consistent padding and spacing
    • Controls which are no longer valid in the current context are completely hidden from the user rather than just being greyed out as before
