Announcing the first stable release of the LV2 specification. LV2 is a simple but extensible successor of LADSPA, intended to address the limitations of LADSPA which many applications have outgrown. By creating LV2 "extensions" (which can be done independently), virtually any feature is possible for LV2 plugins and hosts. This release (revision 1) has been in active use by many projects for several months, including several extensions for advanced features beyond the capabilities of LADSPA or DSSI. Strong long-term compatibility is a primary goal of LV2: all future revisions of LV2 will remain backwards compatible with previous revisions. All the components of the "core" LV2 specification are packaged here: http://lv2plug.in/spec/lv2core-1.tar.gz Distributions are encouraged to include this package. More information, downloads, and links to LV2-using projects can be found at: http://lv2plug.in/ Happy hacking, ~ The LV2 team
