Do you have crash logs turned on? I see 3 different crashes reported in .40, none are unique to this version.

1 - click + drag sysex, will be fixed in next version

2 - scanning presets, can't reproduce this one yet, let me know if you've seen it

3 - somewhere in the audio mixer, can't reproduce yet

If you have an edit that repeatedly crash .40, please let me know.

If anybody has an edit with as yuge amount of automation, could they go to settings > advanced > hi res automation and turn it on. Do you notice a difference in CPU usage between having this setting on or off?

I think I can see that(at least o Linux). Create a project from EDM template on Linux, start play.
With HiRes automation turned off you'll see the "old" behavior - GUI becomes unresponsive, it might go un-freeze after a while, but sometimes you just have to kill the process.
Wit HiRes automation on it seems almost smooth, GUI is responsive with occasional small hick-ups.

Yes,crash logs turned on. I have had a number of crashes,and I think most of them were related to the audio engine quitting. It seems to be related to lowering the latency. In my experience most audio engines crackle when the latency is lowered,but Waveforms engine just seems to quit and attempt a restart. I will put the latency up higher to 256 samples and see if it corrects the problem.

Can you look in the log file and tell me the names of crash logs uploaded?

Just downloaded the beta and it fixed the crash I was experiencing when I double clicked on MIDI clips! I'm over the moon!

Hi - I'm getting regular freezes (i.e. every 5-10 minutes) in WF 13.0.40. No obvious trigger - has happened even when I was away from the computer. I'm running on Ubuntu 24.04, Pipewire, Wayland. I've switched sandboxing on and off, and switched from OpenGL and software rendering, but the problem persists. I end up killing Waveform from the Task Manager so I'm not sure it is generating a crash log. Happy to try to diagnose this but not sure what the next steps are to do so.

I have run Waveform from the terminal and captured some of the output there plus associated logs below in case this is useful.

An exit message of "double free or corruption (out)" is quite common.

I'm suspecting this is due to a corrupt project. I have created a brand new project and edit from scratch and copied the tracks from the faulty project into it. So far it seems stable. Could just be down to this project being based on an old template which has been moved between a few installations of Waveform (and between Windows and Ubuntu). If the problem returns I'll post back. Meanwhile I'll re-build the template in the same way.
