For all those of you for whom CVS was just too much to bear, Ardour is now available on ardour.sf.net as a source tarball, version 0.9beta1. You will still need to have several external libraries installed to build and/or use it (see the README), but this release marks the end of a long road for Ardour, and the start of an even longer one. I am off on vacation with my daughter for a few weeks, hiking in the mountains and canyons of the west. When I return, it will be time to push Ardour towards its 1.0 release, scheduled for late July/early August. --p
