Grame is pleased to announce the release of Faust 0.9.9.1. Faust is a functional programming language for real-time signal processing and synthesis that targets high-performance audio processing applications and plugins. The Faust compiler translates Faust programs into optimized C++ code for a variety of audio platforms : Jack, Alsa, OSS, Ladspa, VST, MaxMSP, Q, PD, SuperCollider, etc. What's new ? ------------ - Pattern Matching : introduction of pattern matching based definitions, a powerful programming technique used in many modern functional programming languages like Q, Haskell, ML, CAML, Clean, etc. - Support for QT4 applications : two new architecture files have been added to generate native QT4 applications : jack-qt.cpp and alsa-qt.cpp. Use 'make jackqt' and 'make alsaqt' in the examples folder to generate QT4 applications. - Improved GTK support : all GTK architecture files have been updated to correct the reversed vertical slider issue. - 64-bits compatibility : the Faust compiler and the generated C++ code are now fully 64-bits compatible. - Improved Max/Msp support : the compilation process has been simplified. It now directly uses gcc instead of xcode projects. It is based on Max/MSP 4.6 SDK and generates universal binary .mxo on Intel platforms. Acknowledgments --------------- We are grateful to all the contributors of this new release, with a special mention to A. Graef for the implementation of the Pattern Matching extension.
