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.

Also check your distribution for packages in a few days after this announcement, please.

Zrythm 1.0.0-alpha.27.0.3 has been released!
==== Demo ====
https://mastodon.social/web/@zrythm/107593312157643058
==== About ====
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, VST2 and
VST3, works with multiple backends including JACK, 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 GTK4 toolkit and can be
extended using GNU Guile.
Zrythm is currently in alpha and we are working towards stabilizing the
project format and entering the beta phase.

==== 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
### Added
- New dependency libadwaita
- New searchable preference dialog
- Add plugin latency handling for plugins running through Carla
- New Hebrew translation

- Various DSP optimizations
### Changed
- Updated plugin browser filter section
- Change UI toolkit from GTK3 to GTK4
- Bump version requirements for some dependencies
- Use `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` to override library paths in `zrythm_launch`
- Run all plugins via Carla
- Port most widget drawing from cairo (software rendering) to GTK
snapshot API (OpenGL)
- Show toast messages when backups are saved instead of showing a
blocking popup
- Use SCSS to compile CSS theme
- Allow DSEG font loading directly from file
- Update Indonesian, Ukrainian, Greek, Italian, Spanish, Slovenian,
French, Turkish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified),
Russian translations
- Use libdir option for Zrythm lib directory instead of 'lib'

support CV ports
- Change global single-key shortcuts to require Ctrl modifier
- Make strict compilation flags stricter

- Redraw rulers and arrangers on every frame
- Recalculate DSP graph when reallocating engine ports
- Use `int_fast64_t` and `uint_fast64_t` for large DSP numbers instead
of `long` for better cross-platform compatibility
- Set Carla plugin window parent on Windows so the plugin window stays
on top of Zrythm
- Do not attempt to run `diff` to check for changes when closing the
project
### Fixed

(pre-create dynamic array)

(`g_settings_schema_source_get_default()`)

Dear all,
I'd like to announce rtcqs, the continuation of the
realtimeconfigquickscan project. It's a port to Python with some added
extra's, like a Spectre/Meltdown mitigations check and a Qt GUI. It has
the approval of the original author of realtimeconfigquickscan to whom I
owe a debt of gratitude, not only for the original code but also for his
helpfulness with the continuation, or maybe even evolution of the project.
So check it out, indulge me with bugs, issues, improvements or any other
useful feedback on the Codeberg repo which you can find at at
https://codeberg.org/rtcqs/rtcqs
Happy system tuning and happy holidays!
Jeremy
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 computer's keyboard to play MIDI notes, and also the mouse. You can
use the Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from
another instrument or MIDI file player.
Changes in v0.8.6:
* Fixed advanced setting on connections dialog.
* Enabled empty input connection after fix on drumstick-ALSA: requires
external connections utility.
* Better inverted piano colors after fix on drumstick-widgets: changed the
white keys background picture depending on the key background color.
* Removed dependency on Qt6::Core5Compat when building with Qt6
* Requires: drumstick-2.5
Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms:
* CMake 3.14
* Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2
note: Qt6 support is still experimental
* Drumstick 2.5
Please use the mailing list <vmpk-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> for
questions and comments. Thanks.
