+    Hi everyone, we have another
+    <a href="https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal" target="_blank">Cardinal</a>
+    release, 22.11, with a very welcome change and important bugfixes.<br/>
+    <a href="https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal" target="_blank">Cardinal</a>
+    is a free and open-source virtual modular synthesizer plugin.<br/>
+    It is based on the popular <a href="https://github.com/VCVRack/Rack/" target="_blank">VCV Rack</a>
+    but with a focus on being a fully self-contained plugin version.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Contributed by
+    <a href="https://github.com/vitreo12" target="_blank">Francesco Cameli</a>
+    we now have modules processing order based on cable connections rather than when they were first added to the Rack.<br/>
+    With this, there is now a guarantee that no single sample feedback is introduced between cable connections,
+    unless feedback connections are in place or modules have internal buffering.
+</p>
+<p>
+    As an example, Francesco provided a simple patch that plays a sine wave through a sequence of 54 modules to measure the difference of the starting signal with the end one.<br/>
+    As it can be seen below, with the old implementation there was definitely a delay introduced by the connections<br/>
+    (since the audio engine steps through the modules in the order in which they were created, ignoring which modules should come first according to the cable connections)

+    With the new implementation the signal flow now correctly shows a null sum between the starting signal and the end one:

+    Other important changes are fixes to VST3 multi-IO, CLAP having a multi-IO variant, and macOS Intel builds working much better.
