The first unified LV2 release, LV2 1.0.0, is out. This release merges the previous lv2core package with all the official extension packages, as well as example plugins, lv2specgen, and additional data. From a developer point of view, the biggest change is that all LV2 API headers can be used by simply checking for the single pkg-config package "lv2" (for compatibility the previous "lv2core" package is still installed). Implementations are encouraged to abandon the "copy paste headers" practice and depend on this package instead. With this release, several new extensions have become stable that together greatly increase the power of LV2: atom, log, parameters, patch, port-groups, port-props, resize-port, state, time, worker.

Fomp 1.0.0

by David Robillard

Fomp is an LV2 port of the MCP, VCO, FIL, and WAH plugins by Fons Adriaensen. There are 13 plugins in total: 1 auto-wah, 1 EQ, 3 chorus, 5 filters, and 3 oscillators. The plugin implementations are identical to their LADSPA forebears, except the primary frequency port of oscillators and filters has been converted to Hz to facilitate use in any host without assuming the hidden tuning frequency of AlsaModularSynth. All other frequency ports remain as they were, using octaves for faithful Moog-like modulation. Aside from that, the main benefit of these LV2 ports is improved metadata: CV ports are distinguishable from audio ports, controls have units where applicable, documentation is built-in for display in host UIs, and so on. The oscillators and filters are mainly useful in modular synthesizers, but since CV ports are distinct from audio ports, they should work fine in non-modular hosts as well.
