| <span style="font-size: 20px">> KXStudio Monthly Report (January 2019)</span><br/> | |||

| </p> | |||
| <p> | |||
| Hello all, another monthly report about the KXStudio project is here.<br/> | |||
| </p> | |||
| <hr/> | |||
| <p> | |||
| <span style="font-size: 20px">> Carla 2.1 RC1 is here!</span><br/> | |||
| On <i>2020-01-15</i> by<i> falkTX</i> | |||
| </p> | |||
| <p> | |||
| Hello again everyone, and surprise, the stable 2.0 version of Carla is coming!<br/> | |||
| </p> | |||
| <p> | |||
| This is the announcement of the first release candidate of Carla 2.1.<br/> | |||
| I am skipping the beta phase as done for the 2.0 release and going straight into a Release Candidate.<br/> | |||
| This means there will be no more changes in the graphical user interface or engine/backend features, except when required for fixing bugs.<br/> | |||
| </p> | |||
| <p> | |||
| Carla projects/sessions are meant to be fully compatible between between 2.0 and 2.1 versions, except for features marked experimental.<br/> | |||
| The "native" API to access carla as plugin (as used by LMMS) is (ABI and API-wise) backwards compatible compatible with 2.0.<br/> | |||
| If this is not the case, consider it a bug that needs to be fixed. | |||
| </p> | |||
| <p> | |||
| As with the v2.0 release, the list of changes is a little big, so let's split it by parts.<br/> | |||
| First, the highlights and major changes.<br/> | |||
| </p> | |||

| <h3>Fixes</h3> | |||
| <p> | |||
| Besides the ones already mentioned for Windows, we also have: | |||
| </p> | |||
| <ul> | |||
| <li>Big push to get transport working correctly</li> | |||
| <li>General fixes against dynamic buffer sizes</li> | |||
| <li>Several fixes to UI size and UI bridges under macOS</li> | |||
| <li>Fix all PNGs that triggered libpng warnings</li> | |||
| <li>Fix canvas rubberband being invisible after a canvas refresh</li> | |||
| <li>Fix embedded UI covering window controls under certain hosts (in a Qt5 Linux build)</li> | |||
| <li>Fix switching plugin positions in plugin mode</li> | |||
| </ul> | |||
| <h3>Notes for developers and packagers</h3> | |||
| <ul> | |||
| <li>Base python scripts are no longer installed in dist-packages</li> | |||
| <li>Carla front-end code was moved to its own folder</li> | |||
| <li>FluidSynth version 1.1.7 is now required for soundfont support</li> | |||
| <li>UI bridges can now be started from CLI with just the plugin URI</li> | |||
| <li>New CarlaNativePlugin header and library exported, exposes Carla's Rack and Patchbay internals to 3rd party applications</li> | |||
| </ul> | |||
| <p> | |||
| Currently work-in-progress is a complete REST API of Carla's backend, allowing to have full control of a remote Carla instance.<br/> | |||
| (and not in a limited fashion like done with Carla-Control / OSC).<br/> | |||
| Initial code for it is already done, and tested to work.<br/> | |||
| If this interests you, let me know!<br/> | |||
| </p> | |||
| <p> | |||
| </p> | |||
| <h3>Notes for users</h3> | |||
| <p> | |||
| The code for scanning plugins had a little rework, making some internal data structures change.<br/> | |||
| Because of this, a full rescan of your plugins is needed after the update.<br/> | |||
| </p> | |||
| <p> | |||
| When running Patchbay mode in JACK, changing the buffer size might cause a crash.<br/> | |||
| This is not a common action to do, so not a priority to fix.<br/> | |||
| </p> | |||
| <h3>Downloads</h3> | |||
| <p> | |||
| To download Carla binaries or source code, jump on over to the <a href="http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/Downloads" class="external free" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">KXStudio downloads section</a>.<br/> | |||
| If you're using the KXStudio repositories, you can simply install "carla-git" (plus "carla-lv2" and "carla-vst" if you're so inclined).<br/> | |||
| Bug reports and feature requests are welcome! Jump on over to the <a href="https://github.com/falkTX/Carla" class="external free" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Carla's Github project</a> page for those. | |||
| </p> | |||
| <h3>Future</h3> | |||
| <p> | |||
| With Carla done, next up is DPF handling and KXStudio 18.04 ISO release, while trying to get a new JACK2 release out too.<br/> | |||
| Note that after these 3 items are done, I plan to take a well-needed break from open-source project maintenance. | |||
