This is a New Session Manager feature release, version 1.6.0
* https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-manager/releases/tag/v1.6.0
It is a tool to assist music production by grouping standalone programs into sessions. Your workflow becomes easy to manage, robust and fast by leveraging the full potential of cooperative applications.
You can create a session, or project, add programs to it and then use commands to save, start/stop, hide/show all programs at once, or individually. At a later date you can then re-open the session and continue where you left off.
All files belonging to the session will be saved in the same directory.
[CHANGELOG]
[nsmd - The daemon itself]
* Now follows the XDG Base Directory Specifications.
* Default session directory moved from `~/NSM Sessions/` to `$XDG_DATA_HOME/nsm/` (see issue #gh-15)
* The old path `~/NSM Sessions/` is still supported and has priority, for now. This may be switched off in the future.
* Lockfiles fixed (see issue #gh-31)
* Lockfiles are now in `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/nsm/`
* Lockfiles now each contain the session path, the osc `NSM_URL` and the nsmd PID
* One daemon file for each currently running nsmd is created in `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/nsm/d/` containing the osc url. This enables discovery of running daemons.
* New section in the API documentation for the above.
* Handle write-protected session files and related errors on save. They will not crash the daemon anymore.
* Fixes and guards against trying to load non-existing sessions and creating new sessions under existing names
* Handle various crashes-on-exit and replace them with controlled exits.
[Jackpatch Version 1.0.0 (previously 0.2.0)]
* Jackpatch will finally not "forget" connections anymore! See #gh-74
* Add a jackpatch desktop file with `X-NSM-Capable=true` and `X-NSM-Exec=nsm-proxy` and `NoDisplay=true`
* Reduce verbosity level of log ouput.
* Document 'hidden' standalone (no NSM) command line mode in `--help`
* Handle SIGNALs even when in standalone mode
[NSM-Proxy]
* Add a nsm-proxy desktop file with `X-NSM-Capable=true` and `X-NSM-Exec=nsm-proxy` and `NoDisplay=true`
All changes are made only on the server side, or in the tools we provide.
Existing sessions, clients, and GUIs remain 100% compatible without requiring any changes.
Except if you want to use the new session root directory, which is recommended.

*Check whether a given LV2 plugin is up to the specification*
An LV2 lint-like tool that checks whether a given plugin and its UI(s) match up
with the provided metadata and adhere to well-known best practices.
Run it as part of your continuous integration pipeline together with
lv2/sord\_validate to reduce the likelihood of shipping plugins with major flaws
in order to prevent unsatisfied users.
*Note: This is an early release, if you happen to find false-positive warnings
when using this tool, please report back, so it can be fixed.*

*a Just-in-Time FAUST compiler embedded in an LV2 plugin*
Write LV2 audio/cv instruments/filters directly in your host in FAUST
DSP language without any need to restart/reload host or plugin upon code changes.
Use it for one-off instruments/filters, prototyping, experimenting or
glueing stuff together.
*Note: This will need a fairly recent libFAUST and/or bleeding edge GNU/Linux
distribution.*
*Note: libFAUST 2.20.2 has a broken LLVM C-API and thus will be non-functional
with this plugin.*

VMPK 0.8.7
==========
Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events generator and receiver. It
doesn't produce any sound by itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI
synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external). You can

use the Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from
another instrument or MIDI file player.
Changes in v0.8.7:
* Fixed touch-screen events handling on Linux, on both X11 and Wayland.
* Fixed raw (low level) keyboard events handling on Linux+Wayland.
* New cmake build option: ENABLE_NATIVE_FILTER. Enabled by default on
Windows, and disabled elsewere.
* Fixed ticket #80: always-on-top preference hides main window.
* Fixed command line option "file".
* Fixed instruments definition "default.ins" file loading.
* Requires: drumstick-2.6.
Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms:
* CMake 3.14
* Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2

Hi,
I just released a new plugin. The first one based on the new B.Widgets
toolkit. Try out and have fun.
B.Low is the unique sample-based sound generator plugin you always
waited for. It blows out low sounds from below to spice up your music
production with a special flavour. The high quality samples were
gratefully provided by numerous international artists.
