- Hello everyone, it is time for another monthly report in regards to the KXStudio project.
+ Hello all, another monthly report about the KXStudio project is here.
- There is not a whole lot of news this time around, as most of the time was spent on Carla new features and bugfixing.
- I am doing a push torwards CV support in Carla (a "MIDI to CV" internal plugin was added, for example),
+ There is not a whole lot of new exciting stuff this time around, as most of the time was spent on Carla new features and bug-fixing.
+ I am doing a push towards CV support in Carla (a "MIDI to CV" internal plugin was added, for example),
with only 1 new feature to be implemented - allowing to automate any regular parameter with CV.
- The idea is to make it easier to automate things in carla, by exposing individual parameters in the patchbay as CV ports.
- There is only 1 month left for release, so going to be tight on time, but seems doable, specially with holidays coming.

A new small extra repository has been created, one I have been using for some time now.
- This came out of the necessity to update JACK2, but JACK is not something we can distribute in generic packages like applications and plugins.
- There are a few pieces of software, like JACK2, that cannot be made into generic deb packages.
- So, I want to create a few small but nice repositories for basic utilities and nice-to-have things.
- For now, I have created a small one for Ubuntu 18.04 users (which includes me, obviously :P) that contains an updated JACK2, Wine-RT, among other small things.

+ So, I want to create a few small but nice repositories for basic utilities and nice-to-have things.
+ For now, I have created a first, small one for Ubuntu 18.04 users (which includes me, obviously :P) which contains an updated JACK2, Wine-RT, among other small things.
+ You can find more details about this repository and all future ones coming soon at
+ https://kx.studio/Repositories:Extras.
- All the separate, extra repositories will be detailed at
- https://kx.studio/Repositories:Extras.
+ In some news regarding the JACK2 project, it
+ has its own news page
+ now, so I won't be posting JACK2 related stuff here anymore.
+ The latest about it, which is worth mentioning, is that its mailing list is back online once again! \o/
- donations
-
+ Cadence v0.9.1 was released, just tagging it in its git repo so distributions can pick it up.
+ It was mostly needed due to an incompatibility with Python 3.8.
+
+ And finally, donations for the KXStudio project (basically myself) are open once again, now even with a Patreon page.
+ In the past I mentioned that, due to legal costs, it was not worth having them while in Germany and I would open them again once I moved.
+ That happened a few months ago, but I dislike dealing with these things, so it took some time...
+ They are open once again now, though I removed the PayPal subscription option and counter for now.
+ (I am intentionally not posting the link here, I trust that if you care enough, you know where to find it)
+
+ Next month hopefully a new Carla release will be here.
+ Catia will be made into a standalone project, leaving Cadence behind. But that is news for another time... :)
