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.

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.
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

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.).

Share and enjoy,

Oops! The Lilv 0.14.2 release fixes compilation with –dyn-manifest. If
you are not using dynmanifest support with Lilv, there is no reason to
upgrade.

Enjoy, and be sure to report any problems... at least a week from now ;)

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.
Enjoy,
