<span style="font-size: 20px">&gt; KXStudio Monthly Report (November 2019)</span><br/>
On <i>2019-10-15</i> by<i> falkTX</i>
</p>
<p>
Hello all, today is November 15, a Linux/Libre-Audio release day.<br/>
I do not have anything to actually release (that is ready anyway), so I thought to instead start something new.<br/>
</p>
<p>
Every month, starting with this one, we will have a monthly report regarding the latest stuff in KXStudio.<br/>
This will involve new releases, package updates to its repositories, important bug-fixes and short-term plans.<br/>
So let's begin...
</p>
<p>
First of all, in case you somehow missed it,
<a href="https://kx.studio/News/?action=view&amp;url=jack2-v1913-release">
a new JACK2 release is here</a>!<br/>
This finally brings meta-data support into JACK2. More information about meta-data in JACK can be found
<a href="https://jackaudio.org/metadata/" target="_blank">
here</a>.<br/>
</p>
<p>
On the repositories, "helm" package had an issue where the plugin could not find its own presets.<br/>
(This was caused due to KXStudio repositories going ahead on renaming "helm" to "Helm" as the former already exists)<br/>
<br style="line-height:0.5em"/>
ZynAddSubFX got (re-)added, using its nice and fancy Zyn-Fusion UI.<br/>
In the old repositories there was "zynaddsubfx" for old UI, and "zynaddsubfx-git" for the new one.<br/>
The "git" package is gone, only "zynaddsubfx" is there now and it has the new UI. +1 for progress!<br/>
<br style="line-height:0.5em"/>
x42-plugins got updated to 20191013 release, and Patroneo was added.<br/>
Patroneo was a tricky one since it uses python libraries. In order to make it a generic package I resorted to cxfreeze which makes it run independent of the system python.<br/>
</p>
<p>
Coming soon is Carla 2.1-beta1.<br/>
The actual software is ready for the beta1 release, but setting up the infrastructure for an updated Qt5 build is taking longer than expected.<br/>
The current 2.0 builds use quite an old Qt version: Qt5.5 on macOS, Qt4(!) on Linux, which I do not accept for new releases going forward.<br/>
Windows builds are ready to go though, you can find test binaries on Carla's
<a href="https://github.com/falkTX/Carla/releases">
github</a>.<br/>
Once I finish setting up the builds for Linux and macOS, I will make the announcement. Very likely in mid-November.
</p>
<p>
Finally,
<a href="https://www.sonoj.org/" target="_blank">
Sonoj
</a>
is coming!<br/>
Sonoj is an annual event/convention in Cologne, Germany, about music production with free and open source software.<br/>
It features demonstrations, talks and hands-on workshops.<br/>
You can meet like-minded people, learn insider knowledge and tricks, participate in their one-hour production challenge!<br/>
It is only a few days from now, so please get ready! :)<br/>
I will be doing a talk in Sonoj about the past, present and future of JACK.<br/>
So please come and say hi, registration is free!<br/>
</p>
