MAMMUT
========
*About:
Mammut will FFT your sound in one single gigantic analysis (no windows).
These spectral data, where the development in time is incorporated in
mysterious ways, may then be transformed by different algorithms prior to
resynthesis. An interesting aspect of Mammut is its completely
non-intuitive sound transformation approach.

-GUI: Fix printing Ø in the about box.
-GUI: Turn off startup sound by default.
-GUI: Save prefs immediately, not when exiting program.
-GUI: Make main window resizable.
-DSP: Avoid denormals. (Just in case. Don't know if it was a problem).
-Build: Build with -mfpmath=sse -msse2 -Wextra -Werror -Wall, and fix
various potential bugs found by newer compilers and -Wextra.
-GUI: Set moving camera to true by default
-Build: Fix install instructions
-Build: Upgraded Juce to 5.3.2
-Build: Varoius build fixes from GeorgeNs.
-Fixed a couple of ugly bugs in the progress bar code.
JACK_CAPTURE
=============
jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack.
The default operation of the program is executed by writing "jack_capture"
in the terminal without any extra command line options:
$ jack_capture
...which will record what you hear in your loudspeakers
into a stereo wav file. But it has lots of other features as well.

Changes 0.9.72 -> 0.9.73:
* Update version to 0.9.73. (Version number was set to 0.9.71 in 0.9.72.)
* Make it clearer that you risk overwriting an old file by specifying filename
* OSX compilation fix (Julius Smith)
Hi,
Advanced Gtk+ Sequencer has got yet another minor release. Thought
most of its new functionality are still experimental and not exposed
to the user.
The features:
* the OSC server providing 8 different controllers
* OSC builder and parser object
* utility functions to deal with OSC data
* configuration in place (no more restart)
Note, during configuration all playback is stopped.

Hi all,
I am pleased to announce the monoidea's project monothek.
We implement a musicians service based on Advanced Gtk+ Sequencer library.
https://krähemann.com/blog/2018/11/03/monoideas-monothek/
I started to implement the code base about 3 weeks, ago. If anyone is
interested in participate, please let me know.

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.19.3 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.
From the NEWS file:
*** snip snip ***
Changes:
BroadcastTools Support. Added a Switcher/GPIO driver for the
BroadcastTools SS 2.1 switcher.
AudioScience GPIO. Added support for GPIO on AudioScience adapters
to the 'Local Audio Adapter' Switcher/GPIO driver.
Add Next/Insert Cart RML. Renamed the 'Add Next' ['PX'] RML to
'Insert Cart' ['PX'] and added two optional arguments to allow
specification of the insertion position and transition type.
Spinitron RLM. Added support for Spinitron v2 to the 'spinitron_plus'
RLM.

Various bug fixes. See the 'ChangeLog' for details.
Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 275, and will
automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema
version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo.
As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow
