+</p>
+<p>
+    Hello everyone, it is time for another monthly report in regards to the KXStudio project.<br/>
+</p>
+<p>
+    There is not a whole lot of news this time around, as most of the time was spent on Carla new features and bugfixing.<br/>
+    I am doing a push torwards CV support in Carla (a "MIDI to CV" internal plugin was added, for example),<br/>
+    with only 1 new feature to be implemented - allowing to automate any regular parameter with CV.<br/>
+    The idea is to make it easier to automate things in carla, by exposing individual parameters in the patchbay as CV ports.<br/>
+    There is only 1 month left for release, so going to be tight on time, but seems doable, specially with holidays coming.<br/>
+    (so more free time to work on this)
+</p>
+<p>
+    There were a few minor package updates in the repositories. Those are:
+</p>
+<ul>
+    <li>x42-plugins updated to 20191215</i>
+    <li>zam-plugins updated to 3.12</i>
+    <li>seq64 added (Qt5 build from git master)</i>
+</ul>
+<p>
+    A new small extra repository has been created, one I have been using for some time now.<br/>
+    This came out of the necessity to update JACK2, but JACK is not something we can distribute in generic packages like applications and plugins.<br/>
+    There are a few pieces of software, like JACK2, that cannot be made into generic deb packages.<br/>
+    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.<br/>
+</p>
+<p>
+    All the separate, extra repositories will be detailed at
