| <p> | |||
| Hello all, another "monthly" report about the KXStudio project is here.<br/> | |||
| There has not been once since July and even though there are not many new details to share, I did not want to let another month pass without one. | |||
| </p> | |||
| <p> | |||
| The main reason for the delay on writing is that my attention has been mostly focused on getting the | |||
| <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modduo/mod-dwarf" target="_blank"> | |||
| MOD Dwarf | |||
| </a> | |||
| software all ready for release, including new LV2 features on the MOD software stack.<br/> | |||
| This usually does not affect me working on other open-source stuff, but the race to get everything ready on time drains more energy than usual.<br/> | |||
| In order to not stress myself out, progress on other fronts has been a bit slower, though stuff like Carla 2.2 final release still happened.<br/> | |||
| Some of this MOD work involved understanding the LV2 spec better and fixing or making new test plugins, so this will be useful outside the MOD platform too.<br/> | |||
| (I already learned that the way Carla handles some LV2 features is wrong and started some work towards fixing that) | |||
| </p> | |||
| <p> | |||
| Last month (October 2020) marks | |||
| <a href="https://jackaudio.org/news/2020/10/15/jack2-v1915-release-and-current-status.html" target="_blank"> | |||
| the first release of JACK2 | |||
| </a> | |||
| with me as maintainer that provides | |||
| <a href="https://jackaudio.org/downloads/" target="_blank"> | |||
| macOS and Windows binaries</a>.<br/> | |||
| I have been setting up automated builds for a few open-source projects for a bit of time now, and that is now re-used for JACK2.<br/> | |||
| There is progress to make this usable for cross-platform plugins, which I was hoping to have a release for by now, but the travis-ci is having some issues against homebrew...<br/> | |||
| Whenever that works again, I will make the official announcement of that | |||
| <a href="https://github.com/DISTRHO/PawPaw" target="_blank"> | |||
| new project</a>.<br/> | |||
| Later on this will be used for automating the builds of my PyQt projects like Carla and Catia. | |||
| </p> | |||
| <p> | |||
| On the Cadence project, I began the work for splitting it into smaller, easier to maintain projects.<br/> | |||
| The idea is to allow Catia (the patchbay-only application) and the small tools to be packaged and maintained separately.<br/> | |||
| This will allow to have new releases of Catia, Cadence and its tools all separately.<br/> | |||
| There is only 1 nasty bug to fix in Catia use of JACK2 meta-data before an official release is made, but it is not an easy one, so I am leaving it for later.<br/> | |||
| Likely no public release on this until next year. | |||
| </p> | |||
| <p> | |||
| And that is it for now.<br/> | |||
| Usually I would write about the KXStudio repositories package update list, but there really has not been much happening there at all..<br/> | |||
| Christmas holidays are not too far off, which will bring some time to try to get a few more things out.<br/> | |||
| So expect some proper news again after that. | |||
