3.14.0 release announcement

SuperCollider 3.14.0 is here! The release is available at Release 3.14.0 · supercollider/supercollider · GitHub

This version has a number of changes since SC 3.13. Highlights include:

  • Sclang functions now support collecting arbitrary keyword arguments via { |...args, kwargs| kwargs }
  • The initialization sample of multiple UGens was fixed
  • Documentation can now also be themed like the IDE
  • Due to updated bundled boost libraries on macOS and Windows, FluCoMa UGens which were working under SuperCollider 3.13 are not compatible anymore with 3.14! Go to GitHub - flucoma/flucoma-sc: Fluid Corpus Manipulation plugins for Supercollider to check for compatible version.
    • This does not apply to other extensions - e.g. sc3-plugins version 3.13 will still work with SuperCollider 3.14, as the plugin interface was not changed
  • Even though these are not as much of user-facing changes, there were countless structural upgrades: we migrated to Qt6, added and improved tests, updated 3rd-party libraries, updated the build system for most recent build tools, and adapted a new organizational structure for development

A big thank you to all developers for your contributions!

Work on 3.15.0 has already started and it will offer some really great new features - we hope to get it out sooner than later :slight_smile:


Regarding themed docs: If you want to change the theme of the docs you have to do this via the docs itself. For this the navbar needs to have enough space in order to display the theme dropdown menu, see

No theme dropdown menu b/c the docs dock is not wide enough


Increase width and it becomes visible

Click on the desired theme - this will not be automatically synced with the theme of the IDE!

With version 3.14.0 it is also possible to “snap-zoom” within IDE documents on macOS, just like in a browser :slight_smile:
