[linux-audio-announce] CLAM 1.0, the Berlin release

We are very happy to announce the CLAM 1.0 "Berlin" release while having splendid views of the Alps in the flight to Berlin for the Linux Audio Conference. This release is indeed a major milestone for the project and it opens a door to the development of exciting new features, so keep tuned! Apart of these big changes expect also bug fixes (yes 1.0 have bugs) as we move on. Learn about CLAM in the web: http://clam.iua.upf.edu Last months have been very positive: many new people showed interest and contributed in the mailing lists, CLAM got packaged for almost every Linux distribution, and we got enormous activity in the svn source repository. We also welcome Andreas as an active developer and we hope that the forthcoming Google Summer of Code will also bring new talent aboard. These are the substantial changes from 0.98: NetworkEditor (now in version 1.0 like the CLAM libs) let the user embed any Ladspa plugin in the network as if it was a CLAM processing. This combined with the fact that you already can compile a network as a new Ladspa plugin library bringing a new world of possibilities. Portaudio is now the common stable audio back-end and its usability have been improved. However, jack is still taken as the default back-end in linux and osx. The interaction between Network and its FlowControl have been totally redesigned, fixing many bugs related with complex network topologies. A new FreewheelingNetworkPlayer class permits offline execution of networks, and it comes along with a new binary for command-line use. At users petition we've also added SMSTools related command-line binaries. On the signal processing front, we have added a fftw3 and experimental vowel synthesis processings. As always, see detailed changes in the change-logs [1] Find in the download section[2] the usual binaries for Mac OSX (Intel and PowerPc), Windows, Linux (Debian sid, Ubuntu Edgy and Feisty) and also new packages for Fedora Core 6 and OpenSuse. Thanks Fernando, Toni, Paul and others for the great help with packaging!
