==== About ====
Zrythm is a digital audio workstation designed to be featureful and

tools, limitless automation capabilities, powerful mixing features,
chord assistance and support for various plugin and file formats.
Zrythm is free software written in C using the GTK4 toolkit.
Zrythm is currently in beta. The project format is stable and we are
working towards a v1 release.

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of the next production release of Rivendell, 4.1.2. 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:
Build System. Fixed regressions that broke the build when configured
to build without HPI, ALSA or JACK support.
Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 371, and will
automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema
version prior to upgrade, do 'sudo rddbmgr'.
Be sure to run 'rddbmgr --modify' (as root) immediately after upgrading
to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied.

SpectMorph 0.6.1 has been released.
The main changes are:
- Instrument editor improvements
- Support for multiple banks for WavSources
- New standard instruments
- The code is now hard RT capable
- UI fixes for macOS
What is SpectMorph?
-------------------
SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of
musical instruments, and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to
construct hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a
flute; or smooth transitions, for instance a sound that starts as a
trumpet and then gradually changes to a flute.
SpectMorph ships with many ready-to-use instruments which can be
combined using morphing.
SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version
2.1 or later
Integrating SpectMorph into your Work
-------------------------------------
SpectMorph is currently available for Linux, Windows and macOS (Intel
and Apple Silicon), with CLAP/LV2/VST plugins. Under Linux, there is
also JACK Support.
