[LAA] Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard 0.8.7 and Drumstick Libraries 2.6.0 Released

[Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas]

VMPK 0.8.7
==========

Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events generator and receiver. It 
doesn't produce any sound by itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI 
synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external). You can 
use the computer's keyboard to play MIDI notes, and also the mouse. You can 
use the Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from 
another instrument or MIDI file player.

Changes in v0.8.7:

* Fixed touch-screen events handling on Linux, on both X11 and Wayland.
* Fixed raw (low level) keyboard events handling on Linux+Wayland.
* New cmake build option: ENABLE_NATIVE_FILTER. Enabled by default on 
Windows, and disabled elsewere.
* Fixed ticket #80: always-on-top preference hides main window.
* Fixed command line option "file".
* Fixed instruments definition "default.ins" file loading.
* Requires: drumstick-2.6.

Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms:

* CMake 3.14
* Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2
* Drumstick 2.6
