5        From now on, our source code is managed by a Subversion server. We
6        converted our existing CVS repository for the
7        <link ref="http://svn.linuxsampler.org">new Subversion server</link>, so
8        the complete history from the beginning of this project is also
9        available in this new Subversion repository. Our
10        <link ref="http://cvs.linuxsampler.org">old CVS server, along with its web frontend</link>
11        is still available, however is now in read only mode, so no changes can be
12        commited to CVS anymore. On the downloads page you can find
13        <link ref="http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html#svn">instructions how
14        to download ("checkout") source code from our Subversion server.</link>

18        After a huge down time of almost one month, we decided to move to new, more
19        reliable servers. Thanks to the University of Heilbronn which kindly hosted
20        our servers for 8 years. We started to move the most important services to
21        a commercial server host, which will be financed by your donations. Sorry
22        for this long absence and thank you for your support!

26        <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/packages/win32/snapshots/">Download the latest Windows snapshot of the sampler!</link>
27        Since we have to confess that we are a bit lazy about putting out official
28        releases, and since the latest official release of the sampler for Windows
29        is quite old, we decided to establish automatic builts of the sampler and
30        all other software components for Windows. As soon as some developer
31        commits something new to the CVS server for any of the project's software
32        components, a new snapshot binary for Windows will automatically built and
33        be available for download within few minutes. Sorry for neglecting you
34        Windows users out there for so long!

38        In case you are working a lot on Native Instruments Kontakt instrument
39        files, or if you are just interested in the .nki file format, you might have
40        a look at <link ref="nkitool/">nkitool</link>. It is a simple console
41        application which allows to export and import the human readable XML file
42        from and to Native Instruments Kontakt .nki instrument articulation files.
43        It can be very handy to speedup or even automate the process of creating
44        and editing .nki instrument files.

48        LinuxSampler is featured in the october special issue of the "Computer Music"
49        magazine. It is available in English language in magazine stores around the
50        UK. This special issue focused on demonstrating the "best free software" for
51        music production on PC, Mac and mobile. LinuxSampler is covered along to four
52        other samplers, with an introduction howto on page 57. You can

60        Better a late than no announcement at all:
61        <list>
62          <li>linuxsampler 1.0.0</li>
63          <li>Fantasia 0.9</li>
64          <li>qsampler 0.2.2</li>
65          <li>gigedit 0.2.0</li>
66          <li>libgig 3.3.0</li>

68          <li>liblscp 0.5.6</li>
69        </list>
70        This is the first release which allows the sampler to be used as audio
71        host plugin, namely supporting the standards VST, AU, DSSI and LV2. The
72        sampler's limits for max. voices &amp; disk streams can now be altered at
73        runtime by frontends, no need to recompile the sampler anymore. The Mac
74        version now also supports CoreAudio as audio driver. The Windows version
75        finally supports the sampler's instruments DB feature as well, however
76        expect it still to be unstable at this point. Along to the already
77        existing JACK audio driver, Jack MIDI support has been added in this
78        release. The sampler allows frontends now basic MIDI control, that is to
79        monitor incoming MIDI data on MIDI input devices and sampler channels and
80        to send note-on and note-off MIDI events to sampler channels, which
81        allows frontends to provide a virtual MIDI keyboard to the user. Besides
82        these major changes there were countless bugfixes and optimizations.

85        On the finish line to the upcoming next release of LinuxSampler and
86        friends, a beta pre-release for the Windows platform is now available
87        from our
88        <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/dev/win/">download server</link>.
89        This is the first Windows version which includes a VST plugin version
90        of the sampler. The installer includes both, native 64 bit binaries and
91        32 bit binaries. The installer detects the system type and installs the
92        appropriate binaries automatically.
93        Please follow the ongoing discussion and development on our
94        <link ref="http://bb.linuxsampler.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;t=339">web forum</link>
95        and <link ref="http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=linuxsampler-devel">developers' mailing list</link>
96        to avoid known problems. Feedback appreciated!
