+
+ Hello all, another monthly report about the KXStudio project is here.
+
+ If you have been paying attention to these reports, you likely already know what is going to be covered here.
+ Starting late February, I began using a
+
+ public kanban-style board
+ in order to show/list the things I am working on and plan to do on the short and medium term.
+ In a few days I will delete the "done" items related to March, so that the "done" stuff actually relates to the current month.
+
+ Now getting to the news..
+ First, in case you missed it,
+ DISTRHO-Ports and PawPaw
+
+ had a new release,
+ which finalizes the custom/redistributable Vitalium fork of Vital.
+ While testing, a few issues on the JUCE LV2 wrapper
+ were
+ found
+ and
+ fixed.
+ To the point of, at least on Linux, we now have the LV2 version behaving better than the VST3 one.
+ Additionally, this
+ PawPaw
+ release automates the macOS-universal builds, something that is being applied for Carla and jack2 next releases.
+
+ Speaking of Carla, the
+
+ 2.3-RC2
+
+ version was tagged, with the final v2.3 release scheduled for April 15.
+ The remaining things to check and fix are all very minor, so we are all good for a release anyway.
+
+ And speaking of jack2, current plans are to fix the macOS-universal meta-data situation among other minor things where possible.
+ I began fetching the zita-a2j/j2a code to work as internal client (just like jack1 does) but found a few issues while testing.
+ It already works well if the internal client is not unloaded, which is good enough for the setup I had in mind for it first - using it to
+
+ expose USB audio gadget mode
+
+ in a MOD device.
+ You can already grab the code from
+
+ moddevices jack2 fork
+
+ though I will try fix the last things so it is good to add in next jack2 release, expected at April 15 as well.
+
+ There is a big
+
+ DPF overhaul
+
+ of its graphic handling, mostly triggered from updating to latest pugl (used for window and event handling).
+ There is nothing to show just yet, as the code does not even build right now.
+ I am still on the phase of reworking some core C++ code, so yeah, nothing to show yet.
+
+ On a small note, I also patched eg-sampler (LV2 example sampler) to
+
+ be able to load non-mono files
+
+ and
+
+ resample the audio sample to the host sample-rate.
+ There was a race condition when loading new files,
+
+ which is now fixed and merged upstream.
+ This work was mainly done in order to have a quick usable plugin using files for MOD, but overall everyone benefits.
+
+ Regarding packages in the KXStudio repositories, there are a few updates. Those are: +
+
+ And that is it for now.
+ If you appreciate the kind of work I do, please consider a
+ donation.
+ Thank you in advance for your support and stay safe out there!
+
+ PS: 2 of the package updates above appear as a result of a Patreon perk ;) +
