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. Download: http://lv2plug.in/spec/lv2-1.0.0.tar.bz2 Documentation and more detailed change logs: http://lv2plug.in/ns/ More information about LV2: http://lv2plug.in/ Enjoy, -dr

Introducing sfpv - Real-time Verification Tool

by Mark McCurry

Hello all, I would like to introduce a new development tool, Static Function Property Verification, or sfpv. sfpv is a static analysis tool for C/C++ which is designed to find one common class of real-time related bugs, calling unsafe functions from a real-time context. sfpv uses annotations to mark functions and the Clang/llvm API to find relationships between functions (eg. the call graph). It uses this information to perform basic deductions on known information (ie explicitly marked functions) to find inconsistencies. Ideally this tool could be run on a project with only the real-time entry points marked (eg the jack process callback) and errors would be emitted for any unsafe functions called. For simple C codebases, this is mostly accomplished currently, though not all common safe functions in libraries have been white-listed yet. Basic C++ code also works, though template and class hierarchies are not guaranteed to function as expected. The source code and basic documentation can be found at http://github.com/fundamental/sfpv This effort is largely based off a unsuccessful Google Summer of Code proposal, which can be found at http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2012/fundamen… Anyone interested in discussing this tool should be able to reach me in #lad as fundamental. --Mark McCurry

[ANN] jack_capture V0.9.62

by Kjetil Matheussen

jack_capture ============ jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack. The default operation of the program is executed by writing "jack_capture" in the terminal without any extra command line options: $ jack_capture ...which will record what you hear in your loudspeakers into a stereo wav file. Download -------- Download tar balls from either http://archive.notam02.no/arkiv/src/?C=M;O=D or https://github.com/kmatheussen/jack_capture/tags Git repository: https://github.com/kmatheussen/jack_capture Changelog 0.9.58 -> 0.9.62: --------------------------- * CHANGE IN BEHAVIOR: The --daemon option now also suppresses all console message. * Support for using a config file. A file in the distribution called 'config' can be copied into ~/.jack_capture/config and modifed as needed. * Allow to remote-control jack-capture via OSC. (Robin Gareus) (see --help-osc) * Added exec-hooks: jack_capture can launch an external app in fire&forget mode (from the disk-thread). (Robin Gareus) * When it opens a new file for writing * When it closes a file, recording finished * On file-name-rotation * When first audio frame is received. * Write a timestamp file with sample-accurate system time of the start of recording. (--timestamp) (Robin Gareus) * Forced file-name rotatation every N audio-frames. (--forcerotate) (Robin Gareus) * A new option to make jack_capture absolutely silent. (--absolutely-silent) (Robin Gareus) * Option for recording only while freewheeling. (--jack-freewheel) (Robin Gareus) * Total recorded time shown in console, as minutes and seconds. * Backwards compatible JACK latency API. (Robin Gareus) * Don't close jack client too early. * New option: --no-stdin. Works the same way as the old --daemon option. * Fix writing to stdout. * Don't use helper thread when writing to stdout. * Applied Filipe Lopes' freewheel patch. Do not reconnect ports when freewheeling. Acknowledgements ---------------- People who have been involved some way or another to make jack_capture are: Paul Davies, Jack O'Quin, Steve Harris, Robin Gareus, Florian Faber, Adrian Knoth, Filipe Lopes, Svend-Erik Kjær Madsen, Hermann Meyer, Dan Muresan, Orcan Ogetbil, Alessio Treglia, Fons Adriaensen, Gabriel J.L.

QmidiNet 0.1.2 released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

A pretty old and terribly overdue JACK MIDI crash bug as been fixed. Hopefully at last. Ones who've been using the ALSA-MIDI (aka. ALSA Sequencer) interface exclusively don't need to worry. All the rest please apply ;) QmidiNet 0.1.2 released! Have fun! QmidiNet [1] is a MIDI network gateway application that sends and receives MIDI data (ALSA-MIDI and JACK-MIDI) over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast [2] and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI [3] for Windows. See also: http://www.rncbc.org/drupal/node/508 Website: http://qmidinet.sourceforge.net Project pages: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qmidinet Downloads: - source tarballs: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qmidinet/qmidinet-0.1.2.tar.gz - source package (openSUSE 12.1): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qmidinet/qmidinet-0.1.2-1.rncbc.suse121.sr… - binary packages (openSUSE 12.1): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qmidinet/qmidinet-0.1.2-1.rncbc.suse121.i5… http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qmidinet/qmidinet-0.1.2-1.rncbc.suse121.x8… Weblog (upstream support): http://www.rncbc.org License: QmidiNet is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later. Change-log: - JACK MIDI in-bound buffering was originally flawed and often the cause for severe random crashes, mostly due to memory corruption, now hopefully fixed. - Changed order of JACK MIDI and UDP socket initialization, hoping the later is always owned by the current genuine process. - JACK MIDI interface were sinking all incoming events into the the first port, now fixed (heads up from Chris Goddard, thanks). - Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses. - Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the configure script eg. --datadir. - Main context menu simple no-brainer reordering.

QjackCtl 0.3.9 quietly emerges...

by Rui Nuno Capela

Guess what...? the last of the remnants quietly emerges :) QjackCtl 0.3.9 has been released, finally! Website: http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl Downloads: - source tarball: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.3.9.tar.gz - source package (openSUSE 12.1): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.3.9-1.rncbc.suse121.sr… - binary packages (openSUSE 12.1): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.3.9-1.rncbc.suse121.i5… http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.3.9-1.rncbc.suse121.x8… Weblog (upstream support): http://www.rncbc.org License: QjackCtl is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later. Change-log: - Killing D-BUS controlled JACK server is now made optional, cf. Setup/Misc/Stop JACK audio server on application exit. (a patch by Roland Mas, thanks). - Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures. - Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses. - A mis-quoting bug at the command line argument string may have been crippling the (unmaintained) Windows port since ever, leaving its main function to start jackd dead in the water, belly down :) now hopefully fixed (following a mail transaction with Stephane Letz and Mathias Nagorni, thanks). - Currently a JACK2-only feature, the JACK version string display at the About dialog box, must now be explicitly enabled on configure time (--enable-jack-version). - A new so called "Server Suffix" parameter option appears to rescue on the situations where QjackCtl falls short on extra, exquisite and/or esoteric command line options eg. (net)jack1/2 differences. - Fixed D-Bus Input/Output device parameter settings, filled when either interface is selected for Capture/Playback only. (probable fix for bug #3441860). - Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir, --mandir. (after an original patch from h3xx, thanks). - Main window is now brought to front and (re)activated when clicking on the system tray icon instead of just hiding it. - Add current xrun count to the system tray icon tooltip, if not zero (after patch #3314633 by Colin Fletcher, thanks). Enjoy && Have fun! -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela
