+
+ Hello all, another monthly report about the KXStudio project is here.
+
+
+
+
+carla 2.2-rc1 got released, and wineasio.
+distrho-ports too, but that was mostly for packagers
+with disthro-ports migrated to meson, work started for legacy/new ports.
+legacy with vst/lv2, new with vst2/vst3 and lv2. Keeping the juce fork updated, even though upstream not interested on lv2 at all.
+
+work being done for automated builds, most of it already complete.
+not that useful for linux, because distros pick up stuff quickly, it is more for win/mac folks for which is much harder to build stuff.
+the automated builds will cover plugins (distrho-ports, dpf-plugins and more), carla and even jack.
+It is not completely ready yet, but very close. expect a few announcements regarding this in the coming weeks.
+
+I know people have been asking about ardour, will get to that eventually, sorry for the delay.
+Ardour is a different kind of build (I want to repackage the official binary, authors are ok with it),
+so I need to find a nice way of handling it. Previously it was all very manual work, want to avoid that.
+Focus in past few weeks has been on Carla and then the automated build setup, so packaging got pushed aside for now.
+
+package updates...
+
+
+ Anyway, a lot of work is going into Carla,
+ lots of bug-fixes.
+ A good collection of them are piling up, which makes a v2.1.1 release worthy, so expect that in the next few days.
+
+ One of the new features in Carla is Linux VST3 support, already available if you use carla-git.
+ There is also a category filter in the add-plugin dialog now, and
+ better handling of high-dpi mode.
+ That is basically it in regards to frontend/GUI changes, everything else is on the backend/audio-host side.
+ All of this will be in Carla v2.2, with a tentative release date of July 15.
+
+ Other developments happening behind the scenes are a
+ DISTRHO-Ports
+ update
+ (setting old JUCE aside and using new
+ juce6
+ branch for Linux VST3 plugins), plus
+ updating its build system to meson.
+ The WineASIO
+ project was finally given to me officially, so expect a release soon for that too.
+ There is also a big
+ DPF rework
+ going on, and a new project for
+ cross-platform LV2 plugin binaries.
+ Those will be announced at a later point in time, once ready.
+
+ Regarding package updates in the repositories, there have been a few since the last monthly report. Those are: +
+
+ Not so much work got done in regards to the website and documentation.
+ Perhaps for next time.
+
+ That is all for now, stay safe out there. +
