+ > KXStudio Monthly Report (January 2019)

+

+ Hello all, another monthly report about the KXStudio project is here.
+

+ +
+ +

+ > Carla 2.1 RC1 is here!
+ On 2020-01-15 by falkTX +

+

+ Hello again everyone, and surprise, the stable 2.0 version of Carla is coming!
+

+

+ This is the announcement of the first release candidate of Carla 2.1.
+ I am skipping the beta phase as done for the 2.0 release and going straight into a Release Candidate.
+ This means there will be no more changes in the graphical user interface or engine/backend features, except when required for fixing bugs.
+

+

+ Carla projects/sessions are meant to be fully compatible between between 2.0 and 2.1 versions, except for features marked experimental.
+ The "native" API to access carla as plugin (as used by LMMS) is (ABI and API-wise) backwards compatible compatible with 2.0.
+ If this is not the case, consider it a bug that needs to be fixed. +

+

+ As with the v2.0 release, the list of changes is a little big, so let's split it by parts.
+ First, the highlights and major changes.
+

+ + +

Notes for developers and packagers

+ +

+ Currently work-in-progress is a complete REST API of Carla's backend, allowing to have full control of a remote Carla instance.
+ (and not in a limited fashion like done with Carla-Control / OSC).
+ Initial code for it is already done, and tested to work.
+ If this interests you, let me know!
+

+

+

+ +

Notes for users

+

+ The code for scanning plugins had a little rework, making some internal data structures change.
+ Because of this, a full rescan of your plugins is needed after the update.
+

+

+ When running Patchbay mode in JACK, changing the buffer size might cause a crash.
+ This is not a common action to do, so not a priority to fix.
+

+ +

Downloads

+

+ To download Carla binaries or source code, jump on over to the KXStudio downloads section.
+ If you're using the KXStudio repositories, you can simply install "carla-git" (plus "carla-lv2" and "carla-vst" if you're so inclined).
+ Bug reports and feature requests are welcome! Jump on over to the Carla's Github project page for those. +

+ +

Future

+

+ With Carla done, next up is DPF handling and KXStudio 18.04 ISO release, while trying to get a new JACK2 release out too.
+ Note that after these 3 items are done, I plan to take a well-needed break from open-source project maintenance. +
