Here's a short list of changes:
* Android and iOS support.
* Debugging utilities and preliminary use in a subset of modules.
* Bug fixes, improvements, and polish.
It is fully free/open source software (GPLv3 license) and we also
currently offer commercial licenses for versions 0.x and 1.x for a
reduced price to support the project.

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 v0.8.9:
* Import DLS instruments for the Sonivox EAS synth backend.
* New Italian translation. Thanks to Giovanni Mariani.
* Fixed ticket #82: splash screen removed.
* Closed ticket #65: Windows dark mode implemented in Qt 6.5.
* Requires: drumstick v2.8.
Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms:
* CMake 3.14
* Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2
note: Qt6 support is still experimental
* Drumstick 2.8
Please use the mailing list <vmpk-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> for
questions and comments. Thanks.

Hi all.
On behalf of all contributors I'd like to announce the newest version
0.6.1 of the SoundScape Renderer.
The SoundScape Renderer (SSR) is a tool for real-time spatial audio
reproduction providing a variety of rendering algorithms, e.g. Wave
Field Synthesis, Higher-Order Ambisonics and binaural techniques.
http://spatialaudio.net/ssr/https://ssr.readthedocs.io/https://github.com/SoundScapeRenderer/ssr
The SSR can be installed from source, version 0.6.0 is also available
as Debian/Ubuntu package (version 0.6.1 hopefully coming soon).
The rendering back-ends of the SSR are also available as Pure Data
(Pd) externals, which can be installed via the built-in package
manager.
New in version 0.6.1:
* Support for dynamic 3D scenes with ASDF v0.4
(https://audioscenedescriptionformat.readthedocs.io/)
* 3D support for Polhemus tracker
* Pd patch for supperware head tracker support incl. 3D rotations
New in version 0.6.0 (which wasn't announced separately):
* 3D support for the binaural renderer using SOFA files
* new network interfaces: WebSocket and FUDI
* an experimental browser-based 3D GUI (using the WebSocket interface)
* BRS renderer is now also available as Pd external

[Drumstick](https://drumstick.sourceforge.io/docs/index.html) is a set
of GPLv3 licensed C++/Qt libraries for MIDI applications. The project
includes several tools as examples, and among them is the
drumstick-guiplayer utility that leverages the Drumstick::ALSA library,
so it is available only for Linux (because the ALSA sequencer is a linux
only technology). Some people have requested a program with the same
functionalities also on Windows and macOS, so here it is. But this
project is much more ...
Some key features:
* MIDI Output to hardware MIDI ports, or any other Drumstick backends,
like soft synths
* Transpose song tonality between -12 and +12 semitones
* Change MIDI volume level (using MIDI CC7)
* Scale song speed between half and double tempo
* Supports MID/KAR/RMI (Standard MIDI Files) and WRK (Cakewalk) file formats
Changes in v1.7.2:
* Fixed SF ticket #17: splash screen removed.
* Fixed GH ticket #9: retain Locked Patches when replaying Midi File.
* Fixed GH ticket #8: crash when loading a song from File->Open Recent
Files.
* Fixed GH ticket #7: detect default language setting.
* Upgraded: uchardet v0.0.8.
* Upgraded: drumstick-2.8.
Build requirements:
* C++11 compiler
* Qt5 >= 5.15 or Qt6 >= 6.2
* Drumstick libraries v2.8
* Uchardet v0.0.8
* CMake 3.14
* Pandoc (when BUILD_DOCS=on)

Drumstick is a set of MIDI libraries using C++/Qt 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 v2.8.0:
* ALSA library:
o added assignment operators for sysex and text events
* File library:
o Fix for ticket #48: SMF Parser does not report enough errors
o Improved RMID file support:
+ Extract DLS embedded data
+ Decode DLS instrument names
+ New mime type
* RT library:
o Sonivox backend: enabled DLS file loading
* Widgets library:
o Fixed compiler definitions
o virtual piano: clip note children (labels)
o Sonivox configuration dialog updated
o Implemented change soundfont function for the Sonivox backend.
* Utils:
o dumprmi: fixed QScopedPointer template for arrays
* Misc:
o Fix for ticket #49: Link failure when Qt6 is compiled with
visibility=protected
o Updated doxygen settings for Doxygen 1.9.5
o Unit tests: conditionally run ALSA test and run the Widgets test
using the QPA platform "offscreen"
Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms:
* C++11 compiler
* CMake 3.14
* Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2 (with Qt6Core5Compat library dependency for
Drumstick::File)
Feature dependencies (for some platforms):
* ALSA (Linux only)
* PulseAudio (Unix)
* D-Bus (Unix)
* Sonivox (Unix)
* FluidSynth (All platforms)
