LV2 1.18.0 is out. This release makes several few minor additions and fixes, and cleans up the specification data and documentation as a step towards more significant cleaning up and reorganization of LV2 in the future. There are a few changes in this release that could affect compilation of a few unconventional projects, or those that use the specificaton data at runtime (since some data has moved into different files). As always, no changes break plugin binary compatibility. Brief summary of changes: * Improve documentation. * Separate extended documentation from primary data. * core: Add lv2:Markdown datatype. * core: Deprecate lv2:reportsLatency. * patch: Fix incorrect type of patch:sequenceNumber. * port-groups: Remove incorrect type of pg:letterCode. * port-groups: Replace broken links with detailed Ambisonic channel descriptions. * state: Add state:freePath feature. * ui: Add ui:requestValue feature. * ui: Add ui:scaleFactor, ui:foregroundColor, and ui:backgroundColor properties. * ui: Deprecate ui:binary. * worker: Improve documentation. https://lv2plug.in/lv2-1-18-0.html https://lv2plug.in/spec/lv2-1.18.0.tar.bz2 https://gitlab.com/lv2/lv2/-/releases/v1.18.0 Enjoy, -- dr

by Stefan Westerfeld

Hi! audiowmark-0.4.1 is now available at https://uplex.de/audiowmark This is the first public release of audiowmark, an open source solution (GPL3 or later) for watermarking audio files. It has many features, it is robust, fast, secure and of course we believe that the watermark is not audible for most users. The project page provides the documentation and source code as well as some audio demos, so you can check whether you hear a difference between original and watermarked files. Cu...

[LAA] Release: Patroneo v1.5, Vico v1.1 and Fluajho v1.5

by Laborejo Software Suite

Ladies and Gentlemen, hereby the Laborejo Software Suite releases updates for its programs in the hope to be useful in your musical toolbox. You can now download Patroneo and Fluajho version 1.5 as well as Vico v1.1 All software is released under GPLv3. Patroneo (Esperanto: /Pattern/) is an easy to use, pattern based midi sequencer, a program that sends digital "notes" to software instruments such as synthesizers and samplers. Fluajho (with jh as in pleasure) means fluid in Esperanto. It is a simple sf2 soundfont host/player for Linux. Behind the scenes the Fluidsynth library is at work, hence the name. Vico is a minimalistic Midi sequencer that is intended to be used in parallel with other software. "Vico" (with c like ts in "bats") just means "sequence" or "order" in Esperanto for obvious reasons. Changelog Highlights: * [Patroneo] Remember looped measure number even when changing the tracks * [Fluajho] Add convenience summing stereo-out jack ports. * [Fluajho] Show loaded sf2 as NSM label * [Vico] Save recording state and use as NSM label * [All] Better desktop program icons * [All] Provide unix manpages * [All] Bug fixes, documentation update. You can find all releases as sources here. Also check your distribution for packages in a few days after this announcement, please. https://laborejo.org/downloads/ For more information, a multi-language user manual, build instructions and git access please visit https://www.laborejo.org/patroneo/ https://www.laborejo.org/vico/ https://www.laborejo.org/fluajho/ Greetings, Laborejo Software Suite https://www.laborejo.org/

[LAA] ANN: Quarterly Release Pact April 2020 Edition

by Christopher Arndt

Dear Open Source Audio Users and Devs, as some of you might have been aware of, there is an ongoing effort in the Open Source audio software developer community to provide regular releases of Open Source audio software on the 15th of the first month of every quarter. The second instance of this in 2020 is now upon us on this April 15th. To give the software releases, which are announced on this day (and a few days before and after) a bit more publicity and provide some sort of focal point, I created a web site, which collects all these announcements: https://libremusicproduction.com/dev/release/ Please share this website wherever it may reach the target audience and, if you are a developer yourself, see the "About" link on that page to find out how your release can be listed there too. Share & Enjoy, Chris
