=== About Zrythm ===
Zrythm is a digital audio workstation designed to be featureful and
easy to use. It allows limitless automation through curves, LFOs and
envelopes, supports multiple plugin formats including LV2, LADSPA,
DSSI, SFZ, SF2, VST2 and VST3 (via Carla), works with multiple backends
including JACK, PulseAudio, RtAudio/RtMidi and SDL2, assists with chord
progressions via a special Chord Track and chord pads, and can be used
in multiple languages including English, French, Portuguese, Japanese
and German.
Zrythm is free software written in C using the GTK+3 toolkit and can be
extended using GNU Guile (Scheme).
Zrythm is currently in alpha and we are working towards stabilizing the
project format and entering the beta phase.

Drumstick is a set of MIDI libraries using C++/Qt5 idioms and style.
Includes a C++ wrapper around the ALSA library sequencer interface: ALSA
sequencer provides software support for MIDI technology on Linux. A
complementary library provides classes for processing SMF (Standard MIDI
files: .MID/.KAR), RIFF MIDI (.RMI), and Cakewalk (.WRK) file formats. A
multiplatform realtime MIDI I/O library and a GUI Widgets libraries are
also provided for Linux, Windows, and Mac OSX.
Changes in v2.5.1:
* Utils: fixed loading translations, program names and messages.
* AppStream MetaInfo added for the three GUI utilities.
* Widgets: Fluidsynth soundfonts dialog, updated filters.
* RT: Fluidsynth backend initialization: failure report for invalid
soundfonts.
* cmake buildsystem: run qt::lupdate after building targets.
* qmake buildsystem: Fixed linking tests.
* fixed install: header missing when only BUILD_ALSA is selected.
Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms:
* C++11 compiler
* CMake 3.14
* Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2 (experimental, with Qt6Core5Compat library
dependency for Drumstick::File)
Feature dependencies (for some platforms):
* ALSA (Linux only)
* PulseAudio (Unix)
* D-Bus (Unix)
* FluidSynth

Hi!
We just spent some time digging out a fast and light sampler formerly
called tapeutape initially developped by Hitmuri (Florent Berthaut).
We've added some functionnalities, mostly OSC control and NSM
compatibility things, and refreshed the UI a (very) little bit. We now
call it tap192.
It now works for us, there are still a lot of bugs in it, most of them
ignored by us, cause they don't occur in our use cases.
So, we'd need to have people testing it and reporting bugs, so that we
might fix them, and have this small MIDI- and OSC-controlable sampler
working for everyone.
You can find the sources here:
https://github.com/PlagiatBros/tap192
Precisions:
- The manual is at "work-in-progress" state, except the OSC control API,
it doesn't contain much. So you'll have to find by yourself how this
sampler works, but by the way, it's pretty simple, and we kept it as it
were at first. If needed, we can give you some help using it on
orl(a)ammd.net or on irc.libera.chat #ammd-dev (ask jean-emmanuel or orl).
- We use github issue tracker: https://github.com/PlagiatBros/tap192/issues
Thanks a lot.
Jean-Emmanuel and ORL

Hi!
audiowmark-0.6.0 is now available at https://uplex.de/audiowmark
Overview of Changes in audiowmark-0.6.0:
* implement speed detection/correction (--detect-speed)
* Add '--json' CLI option for machine readable results.
audiowmark is 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... Stefan

Ladies and Gentlemen,
hereby the Laborejo Software Suite releases maintenance updates for its programs in
the hope to be useful in your musical toolbox.
You can now download Agordejo in version 0.3.1.
https://laborejo.org/downloads/agordejo-0.3.1.tar.gz
All software is released under GPLv3.
Agordejo (Esperanto: 'place to set things up') is a music production session manager.
It is used to start your programs, remember their (JACK) interconnections and make
your life easier in general. It does not re-invent the wheel but instead uses the
New-Session-Manager daemon and enhances it with some tricks of its own, that always
remain 100% compatible with the original sessions.
Changelog Highlights:
* Option in Control menu to split the session view between horizontally and vertically
* The GUI session list now dynamically expands to the needed width.
* Fix regression and workarounds for crashes introduced by a recent PyQt update.
You can find all releases as sources here.
https://laborejo.org/downloads/
Also check your distribution for packages in a few days after this announcement, please.
For more information, a multi-language user manual, build instructions
and git access please visit

==== Release Notes ====
This release features a major change: the GUI toolkit that Zrythm uses
has changed from GTK3 to GTK4. This change was done to take advantage
of GTK4's built-in caching and hardware rendering capabilities.
This change has solved a major issue we were having with the UI being
slow on low spec systems or when lots of objects were on the screen. It
also makes development of UI elements easier thanks to a simpler
drawing API and built-in caching capabilities on the GTK4 side.
The main drawback of this change is that the native mechanism that was
used to embed plugin UIs is no longer available in GTK4, so native LV2
plugin support has been temporarily disabled until we find a solution.
Meanwhile, Carla is now a hard dependency and will be used to load all
plugin formats, including LV2.
We expect there to be some regressions partly due to GTK4 not being
widely adopted yet and also due to changes in the way input handling
and other things work in GTK4, and we are releasing early to encourage
more testing of these latest changes.
Special thanks to Filipe Coelho (falktx) for exposing API to make using
Carla easier on the Zrythm side and to GTK and libadwaita developers
(especially Benjamin Otte, Matthias Clasen, Emmanuele Bassi, Alexander
Mikhaylenko, Timm Bäder and Christian Hergert) for their help and for
fixing bugs we found quickly.
The list of changes follows:
## [1.0.0-alpha.27.0.3] - 2022-01-10
