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.

[LAA] Linux Audio Conference 2012 at CCRMA - live stream coverage starting tomorrow

by Jörn Nettingsmeier

Hi *! On behalf of the conference organizers, we would like to invite you to join the Linux Audio Conference 2012, kindly hosted by the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University. The conference will start tomorrow, Thursday April 12, at 10:00 PST (that's UTC - 0700). Please refer to the schedule at http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2012/program for detailed information. We will be streaming all paper presentations live in Ogg Theora/Ogg Vorbis format. Users of the Firefox browser should be able to watch this natively without any plugins. For users of other browsers, we recommend VLC, a cross-platform media player which you can download from http://videolan.org. You are invited to join us on IRC while you're watching the streams, the conference channel is #lac2012 on freenode.net, to be accessed with the chat client of your choice, or via http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=lac2012 Remote participants can post their questions or remarks on this channel, and a local chat operator here in Stanford will then relay them to the presenters and the local audience. You can also use this channel to get help in case of viewing problems. All presentations will be recorded and uploaded for off-line watching within a day or so. Needless to say, access to all streams is free of charge. This is all about open source after all :) The primary stream relay is available at http://ccrma.stanford.edu:8080 (located on the west coast of the US). A secondary relay which is preferrable for European users is at http://streamer.stackingdwarves.net (located in Germany). Best regards, the LAC stream team.

[LAA] gst123-0.3.1

by Stefan Westerfeld

gst123-0.3.1 has been released. Overview of changes in gst123-0.3.1: ------------------------------------ * Added quiet mode (Issue 9). * Ignore image files during playback (Issue 1). * Added keybinding 'n' for 'play next file'. What is gst123? --------------- The program gst123 is designed to be a more flexible command line player in the spirit of ogg123 and mpg123, based on gstreamer. It plays all file formats gstreamer understands, so if you have a music collection which contains different file formats, like flac, ogg and mp3, you can use gst123 to play all your music files. Since gst123-0.1.0 support for watching videos has been added; however gst123 should run fine in situations where no X11 display is available; videos can be played without X11 display, too (-x, --novideo); in this case, only the audio stream will be played. It is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 2 Links: ------ Website: http://space.twc.de/~stefan/gst123.php Download: http://space.twc.de/~stefan/gst123/gst123-0.3.1.tar.bz2 -- Stefan Westerfeld, Hamburg/Germany, http://space.twc.de/~stefan

[LAA] Jalv 1.0.0

by David Robillard

Jalv 1.0.0 is out. Jalv is a simple but fully featured LV2 host for Jack. It runs LV2 plugins and exposes their ports as Jack ports, essentially making any LV2 plugin function as a Jack application. Jalv is particularly useful for testing during plugin development, and as an example of a Lilv-based LV2 host. This is the initial release of Jalv. It is still a relatively immature program, but supports most of the important new functionality in the LV2 1.0.0 release (e.g. saving plugin presets with state, atom-based event ports, message-based plugin<=>UI communication, etc.).

[LAA] Lilv 0.14.0

by David Robillard

Lilv 0.14.0 is out. Lilv is a library to make the use of LV2 plugins as simple as possible for applications. This release includes many improvements, most notably built-in support for saving/restoring plugin state (including powerful non-destructive saving of plugin state which contains files), many bug and portability fixes, and support for new LV2 concepts. Changes: * Add lilv_plugin_get_extension_data * Use path variables in pkgconfig files * Install man page to DATADIR (e.g. PREFIX/share/man, not PREFIX/man) * Make Lilv::uri_to_path static inline (fix linking errors) * Use correct URI for dcterms:replaces (for hiding old plugins): "http://purl.org/dc/terms/replaces" * Fix compilation on BSD * Only load dynmanifest libraries once per bundle, not once per plugin * Fix lilv_world_find_nodes to work with wildcard subjects * Add lilv_plugin_get_related to get resources related to plugins that are not directly rdfs:seeAlso linked (e.g. presets) * Add lilv_world_load_resource for related resources (e.g. presets) * Print presets in lv2info * Remove locale smashing kludges and use new serd functions for converting nodes to/from numbers. * Add LilvState API for handling plugin state. This makes it simple to save and restore plugin state both in memory and on disk, as well as save presets in a host-sharable way since the disk format is identical to the LV2 presets format. * Update old references to lv2_list (now lv2ls) * Support compilation as C++ under MSVC++. * Remove use of wordexp. * Add lilv_plugin_get_port_by_designation() and lilv_port_get_index() as an improved generic alternative to lilv_plugin_get_latency_port_index(). * Add lilv_plugin_get_project() and get author information from project if it is not given directly on the plugin.
