Ho, ho, ho marry christmas, actually in Poland it will be next week, but ...
Just right Santa Claus have gifts for you.
Please find release 1.4 of FSTHost. Changes since 1.3:
Reorganize GTK GUI - replace texts by icons/tooltips and change widgets layout
Recursively scan directories and add results to FSTHost XML DB (-d option). I must admit
that some parts/ideas of this code was available in fst, but was not used.
FSTHost Menu utility (fsthost_menu) for choose plugin. It can use zenity or dialog for
generate list of available plugins. Use VST_PATH or FSTHost XML DB as data source.
Use Glib event loop instead of DummyWindow/SetTimer solution .. and one thread less now
;-)
Fix case when DISPLAY variable is empty (NonGUI mode) - just becuase we now doesn't
create any window ;-)
Faster Bypass/Resume, Program Change - side effect of merge MainThread and EventThread
*(from GUI or SysEx - MIDI CC is still delayed)
Autoconnect to all MIDI Out physical ports (e.g. testing plugins)
Disable GUI by FSTHOST_NOGUI environment variable
JackSession - improve error handling (set JackSessionSaveError flag)
Checkbox for choose between embedded or popup editor.
Add application icon (this is temporary icon)
A lot of small fixes/optimizations/cleanups etc.
... and finally I decide that GTK code will stay here for some time (or "from here to
eternity" :-). After all this herculean trials it seems to works quite well. In SVN
repo one can find NonGTK (W32API) version - but it have less options (only Editor
show/hide, and program change).
Best Regards
