+ On 2021-02-28 by falkTX
+
+ Hello all, another "monthly" report about the KXStudio project is here.
+ There is not a whole lot of stuff this time around, this being a short month and also me moving to a different place.
+ But there are still some things worth reporting, so let's get to that.
+
+ First, in case you missed it,
+
+ Carla v2.3-RC1 was tagged and released,
+ marking the first PyQt-based project of mine to have automated release binaries.
+ This is crucial for having more frequent releases, as it reduces the workload that each release requires.
+ It is now basically just
+
+ setting the commit hash
+
+ in the
+
+ Carla-Releases
+
+ project, and
+
+ wait for the builds
+
+ to be done.
+ And speaking of Carla, a few small issues were found and already fixed, so you can expect RC2 to be out very soon.
+
+ On non-KXStudio related news,
+
+ Vital is now open-source.
+ Obviously I have interest on packaging it in the KXStudio repositories but,
+ even though the project is released under
+
+ GPLv3, there are restrictions on the use of the name and its trademarks.
+ So the idea right now is to (im)port it over to
+
+ DISTRHO-Ports
+
+ project, with a change of name to Vitalium and an alternative icon made by unfa.
+ This is already on-going, with one change required which was to update the
+
+ DISTRHO JUCE fork
+
+ to the latest upstream v6.0.7 -
+ this is
+
+ done now
+ (including rebasing all of
+
+ DISTRHO JUCE patches).
+ I will write something when the porting process is over, likely doing another release of
+
+ PawPaw
+
+ since simply having Vitalium as cross-platform LV2 plugin is worth an update.
+
+ Package updates in the KXStudio repositories are very few this time.
+ Basically soundtracker was added (as a special request from a friend) and Helio was updated to v3.3 (which served as a way to test the updated JUCE).
+
+ On a final note, I am experimenting with a
+
+ public kanban-style board.
+ Not just to organize myself a bit better, but also as a way to let everyone know what I am working on at the moment and things that I will start to do relatively soon.
+ You can see what has already been done this month so far (let's pretend we are already in March) and what might be coming soon.
+ I am still playing with colors and tags, but general idea on the colors at the moment is:
+
+ I have recently been trying to get some sort of
+
+ crowd-funding going
+
+ (to help in terms of financial support).
+ If you are a sponsor/subscriber, you might have felt that these monthly updates are too spread out and too few.
+ So a public work-tracking board seems like a nice middle-ground, a way to indicate what is happening on a specific moment without having to wait for monthly reports or big splashy news.
+ For now you can access the board at board.kx.studio; later on I will see if it can be embed into the main website.
+
+ If you see anything you like in there or just simply appreciate the kind of work I do, please consider a
+ donation.
+ I am not taking feature requests at the moment, as there is quite a few things in the backlog already, but once most of the
+ DPF-related
+ work is complete, I will revisit this idea.
+ Thank you in advance for your support, stay safe out there!
