An audio server, programming language, and IDE for sound synthesis and algorithmic composition.
There is now a release candidate available for the next release of SuperCollider, version 3.12.0-rc1. Please note this is a release candidate meant for testing and evaluation, and not an official release. If no major issues are found in the release candidate, a proper release will be made in about two weeks. You can download it here: https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider/releases/tag/Version-3.12.0-rc1
CHANGELOG.md contains a more extensive list of changes. Notable improvements in this version include:
method not found error in sclang now provides suggestions, using fuzzy array comparisonsBig thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!
Please note: for technical reasons Windows installers are not included in this release candidate, but they will be included in the final release.
macOS releases, with '-sn' in the name should be signed and notarized.
We are pleased to announce SuperCollider 3.11.2! Thank you to everyone who helped with this release. Binaries and source code are available on GitHub here: https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider/releases/tag/Version-3.11.2.
We are now providing a "legacy macOS" binary to add support for macOS 10.10-10.12. On macOS 10.13-10.15, you should use the regular macOS binary.
Additionally, we now also provide a special binary patched for macOS 11 "Big Sur" compatibility. On that system please use the 3.11.2+BigSur.aed25fa version.

Xcode 11 is now supported (#4611).
Minimum supported Boost version is now 1.66.0 (#4611). Boost 1.71 is also now supported (#4612).
supernova would sometimes return malformed /done OSC messages over TCP due to a concurrency issue. This has been fixed (#4435).
On macOS, Cmd+Q causes a segmentation fault in sclang. This is a regression from old behavior, where Cmd+Q is simply ignored. This has been fixed (#4533).
Fixed a mistake where Recorder would get its default file extension from server.recHeaderFormat rather than its own recHeaderFormat (#4550).
The NodeProxy filter role now respects fadeTime (#4278).
Some sequences of IDE actions involving editor splits (such as removing a split and then recompiling the class library) can lead to an eventual IDE crash. These have been fixed (#4645).
On macOS, Cmd+Q used to quit both the IDE and interpreter, but it regressed and only the interpreter would quit. This has been fixed (#4300).
