On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to
announce the availability of the third release candidate of the next
major version of Rivendell, 3.x. Rivendell is a full-featured radio
automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast
environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License
version 2.
MAJOR CHANGES FROM v2.x
-----------------------
Unicode Support. Unicode/UTF-8 clean, with full support for characters
in both the Basic Multilingual and Supplemental Planes.
Qt Toolkit Upgrade. Built upon Qt4, rather than Qt3.
Scalability Improvements. Engineered to support installations with
hundreds or more active play-out logs.
PAD System Upgrades. PAD (Now & Next) processing done by means of
PyPAD, utilizing user customizable Python 3 scripts. Also fully
Unicode/UTF-8 clean.
Realtime Status Updates. Changes in Rivendell objects (carts, logs,
etc) communicated and displayed instantly on other hosts with no need
for manual refreshing.
And many more...
GETTING AND TRYING THE RELEASE CANDIDATE
----------------------------------------
Full source code for this release is available at:
https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/rivendell/releases/tag/v3.0.0rc02
Be sure to throughly read and understand the 'INSTALL' and 'UPGRADING'
files in the root of the source tree, as they contain important
information about changes between previous major Rivendell versions and
v3.x.
An upgradable CentOS 7 online installer is also available. This is the
quickest and easiest way actually to try this release for yourself.
Instructions can be found at:
http://static.paravelsystems.com/rivendell-install-rd3/rivendell-install-rh…
If you already have an installation running one of the earlier
Rivendell 3 BETA or Release Candidates, you can upgrade it to this
release by doing (as root):

Hey all:
Even though I didn't get it done in time for the great linux audio release
day earlier this week (fondly known as the big L.A.R.D), I hope this
offering of free freedom will still be accepted.
I found some flaws in the voice deactivation improvements from the last
release, especially if using a patch with a long release (which I hadn't
before). As part of this, I've removed a few loops in the code so there may
be some small amount of performance gain. In addition this release adds a
couple patches (with long releases surprisingly).
It is recommended all users and packagers upgrade asap.
Enjoy!

Griaß enk!
a new version 1.3.0 of *jack-select* has just been released!
What is it?
*jack-select* is a systray app to set the JACK configuration from
QjackCtl presets via DBus. It displays an icon in the system tray of
your desktop, which shows the status of the JACK audio server and when
you click on it, a menu pops up, which lets you quickly select from the
JACK configuration presets you created with QjackCtl. This allows you to
switch between different audio setups with just two mouse clicks.
*jack-select* works with the DBus-version of JACK only. It is written in
Python 3 using the ``PyGObject`` bindings for GTK 3. Python 2 is not
supported.
What's new?
Yesterday's 1.2.0 release unfortunately has some issues handling
some variants of the presence or non-presence of the '(default)'
preset in QjackCtl's configuration. This release attempts to fix
those and introduces a few new options, hence the increase of the
minor version.
* Added command line option -i, --ignore-default to ignore the
'(default)' preset if any other presets are stored in the QjackCtl
configuration.
* Fixed handling different variants of the presence / non-presence of
the '(default)' preset when reading the QjackCtl configuration.
* Added command line option --version to show the program version.
* Updated the UNIX manual page.
Where to get it?
https://github.com/SpotlightKid/jack-select
or via pip (but see the "Requirements" section in the README first):
pip install jack-select
or, for Arch Linux users, from the AUR:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jack-select/
How to use it?
Please see the README file here:
https://github.com/SpotlightKid/jack-select/blob/master/README.md

What's new?
* Now detects changes in connected ALSA devices and enables/disables
menu entries for presets, which use these devices.
* Added command line option '-a', '--no-alsa-monitor' to disable ALSA
device monitoring and filtering.
* Made some logging improvements.

Wolf Spectrum is a free, real-time spectrogram plugin. It can be used to
analyze the frequency content of signals over time.
Right now, it supports vertical scrolling, logarithmic/linear frequency
scaling, and configurable block sizes. I plan on adding a few features in
future releases, such as horizontal scrolling and the ability to show the
frequency at the cursor's position.
To install the plugin, follow the instructions in the README:
https://github.com/pdesaulniers/wolf-spectrum
If you encounter some issues with the plugin, please report them. Feature
requests are also welcome :)
Thanks!

Hello everyone,
I'm happy to announce the 0.2.0 release of rtosc (RealTime safe Open
Sound Control). librtosc is a MIT licensed library which provides tools
to serialize, deserialize, and dispatch OSC messages within realtime contexts.
rtosc is currently primarily used by ZynAddSubFX to create the
foundation for all messages between the UI and backend, in terms of
their realtime manipulation, dispatch, and use in related tasks (e.g.
DAW host/MIDI device automation).
You can find the release at:
https://github.com/fundamental/rtosc/releases/tag/v0.2.0
Enjoy,
--Mark
