Linuxaudio.org presents: New Session Manager Version 1.3 New Session Manager (NSM) is a tool to assist music production by grouping standalone programs into sessions. Your workflow becomes easy to manage, robust and fast by leveraging the full potential of cooperative applications. It is a community version of the "NON Session Manager" and free in every sense of the word: free of cost, free to share and use, free of spyware or ads, free-and-open-source. You can create a session, or project, add programs to it and then use commands to save, start/stop, hide/show all programs at once, or individually. At a later date you can then re-open the session and continue where you left off. All files belonging to the session will be saved in the same directory. New-Session-Manager is already included as binary package in Archlinux and KXStudio and will eventually replace Non-Session-Manager. You can find the source release on Github: https://github.com/linuxaudio/new-session-manager/releases/tag/v1.3 Bullet Points * Drop-In replacement for the non-session-manager daemon nsmd and tools (e.g. jackpatch) * Simple and hassle-free build system to make packaging easy * Possibility to react to sensible bug fixes that would not have been integrated into original nsmd * Stay upwards and downwards compatible with original nsmd * Conservative and hesitant in regards to new features and behaviour-changes, but possible in principle * Keep the session-manager separate from the other NON* tools Mixer, Sequencer and Timeline. * Protect nsmd from vanishing from the internet one day. * The goal is to become the de-facto standard session manager for Linux distributions Changes since non-session-manager v1.2 (2017-07-08) * Rebranding to "new session manager" * Upstream GUI tools "non-session-manager" and "nsm-proxy" converted to standard FLTK instead of a custom toolkit * New message /nsm/gui/session/root raises NSM_API_VERSION_MINOR from 0 to 1 (1.0 -> 1.1) * Changed build system to meson * License upgraded to GPLv3 * Simplified file structure * Fix compiler warnings. This is a joint release from multiple people under the linuxaudio.org "brand". https://github.com/linuxaudio/new-session-manager Greetings, dvzrv, falktx and nils
