The ever popular CAPS Audio Plugin Suite reincarnates as v0.3.0, a 
major augmentation release.

CAPS is a LADSPA library that enjoys worldwide favour for its 
high-quality instrument amplifier emulation facilities. In addition it 
provides a sizeable assortment of no less sophisticated classic DSP 
units for daily use as well as some more exotic sound generators and 
effects.

Most noteworthy addition is the new AmpV plugin which builds on the 
previous Amp efforts. A fundamentally revised circuit design and the 
emulation of power supply shortcomings make for a very mellow and 
differentiating tone especially at clean to moderately rough settings.

The new CabinetII unit further enhances the discerning electric 
guitarist's digital sound setup by modelling five classical speaker 
cabinets; far more faithful than the previous Cabinet plugin it builds 
on, but with the same zero-latency advantage at still extremely low 
CPU taxation.

Furthermore, the new Scape plugin (if played well ;) generates epic 
grooving soundscapes, the new ChorusII and PhaserII units provide 
fractally modulated variants of these classics and the new SweepVFII 
enhances its predecessor by allowing for modulation of filter Q.

This CAPS release compiles cleanly on x86-64 as well as with gcc-4.0. 
Many plugins have been renamed and all have been relabelled, which 
will unfortunately upset some host programs trying to load existing 
setups. Consult the README files in the distribution package for 
further details.
