4        The <link ref="https://sourceforge.net/p/linuxsampler/mailman/message/36608653/">macOS Installer has been modernized</link>
5        e.g. using now Gtk 3 for Gigedit and Qt 5 for QSampler and a modern
6        C++11 capable compiler. Support for ancient PowerPC Macs and 32-bit Intel
7        Macs has been dropped for that reason. So all Mac snapshot builds starting
8        from today onwards will require a 64-bit Intel Mac with at least macOS 10.7 or
9        higher. If you still have one of those ancient Macs and can't find an old
10        snapshot build on our website that still works for your old Mac, then you may
11        write us on the
12        <link ref="https://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxsampler/lists/linuxsampler-devel">mailing list</link>.

23        might help you to automatically extract MIDI instruments from LSCP files to
24        the MusE sequencer's IDF format, which can be helpful for patch changes
25        in that sequencer.

28        Services are back online. After reviewing the recent server incident we
29        came to the conclusion that the attack was fortunately quite limited.
30        We rolled back the system, closed the exploited security
31        hole and brought all services back online. In case you downloaded or updated any source files
32        from our <link ref="http://svn.linuxsampler.org">svn server</link>
33        between March 2nd and March 3rd, we recommend you to
34        delete the entire source directory and make an entire fresh checkout from
35        svn to avoid any issues. The svn server is now back at a clean state.

38          <b>Important notice:</b>
39        Our server had been compromised. For that reason we were forced to take most
40        services offline for now to protect you from accessing any compromised material.
41        We are currently investigating this incident and will update you accordingly.

45        <link ref="http://bugs.linuxsampler.org">Bug Tracker</link>
46        are back online: As you might have noticed, our
47        <link ref="http://bb.linuxsampler.org">Web Forum</link> as well as our
48        <link ref="http://bugs.linuxsampler.org">Bug Tracker</link> were partly
49        unavailable for quite a while. It was possible to read them, but especially
50        registration of new user accounts were disabled (i.e. due to numerous
51        spam bot attacks we suffered in the past). Those issues have been
52        resolved and so both sites are back available and should now work entirely
53        as expected.

76        A new documentation site has been launched:
77        <link ref="http://doc.linuxsampler.org">http://doc.linuxsampler.org</link> -
78        This separate page dedicated to manuals, tutorials and other kind of
79        articles for the LinuxSampler project, is using a new solution to write
80        and maintain such articles with a minimum of effort. Be invited to help us
81        <link ref="http://doc.linuxsampler.org/Writing_Docs/">writing documentation</link>
82        for LinuxSampler and friends! As one of the first topics, this site is now
83        hosting an introduction to the new
84        <link ref="http://doc.linuxsampler.org/Instrument_Scripts/NKSP_Language/">NKSP Real-Time Instrument Script Language</link>.
85        The long-term plan is to move all documentation of this project from our www
86        server to that new site.

90        For the Mac users out there: We finally have a convenient installer for the
91        OS X version of LinuxSampler. This is already integrated in our automatic
92        build system. So from now on all
93        <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/packages/osx/snapshots/">daily snapshot builds for Mac</link>
94        are automatically built with an installer. By default the installer will
95        install all components (LinuxSampler stand-alone application, VST and
96        Audio Unit plugin version of LinuxSampler, QSampler, Fantasia, GigEdit and
97        command line tools. At step "Installation Type" you can however also
98        override the default installation and select which components to install.

102        <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/packages/osx/snapshots/">gigedit finally included with OS X snapshots!</link>
103        Due to the variety of third party library dependencies it took a while, but
104        finally "gigedit", our graphical instrument editor for Gigasampler /
105        GigaStudio files, is now included with the automatic binary snapshots builds
106        for Mac OS X. The automatic snapshot installers are automatically compiled
107        by one of our servers each time a developer commits something new to our
108        Subversion (development) server. You can use gigedit on Mac OS X as
109        stand-alone instrument editor as well as in live-mode while running
110        LinuxSampler. In the latter case your changes with gigedit get immediately
111        audible while playing the instrument on the keyboard at the same time.

115        <link ref="sfz/">Added SFZ implementation status page.</link>
116        We are currently in the works to implement support for the SFZ format,
117        which is a powerful and open sample library format, already adopted by
118        many commercial samplers. Check our new SFZ status page to see which
119        aspects of the format are already supported by LinuxSampler, and which
120        ones are yet to be implemented.

125        Following our ongoing sympathy for automatic snapshots, we finally provide
126        automatic builds also for Apple OS X! As soon as some developer commits
127        something new to our Subversion server, a new binary snapshot for OS X will
128        automatically be available for download from our webserver within minutes.
129        The snapshot tbz2 archive file contains universal binaries
130        (PPC 32 bit, Intel 32 &amp; 64 bit) of the stand-alone version of the
131        sampler, VST and AU plugin version, and the graphical frontend applications
132        QSampler and Fantasia. Only our graphical instrument editor gigedit is not
133        yet part of the snapshots, it might follow at a later point. Please read
134        the README file in the tbz2 archive file for instructions how to install
135        everything on your Mac.

139        From now on, our source code is managed by a Subversion server. We
140        converted our existing CVS repository for the
141        <link ref="http://svn.linuxsampler.org">new Subversion server</link>, so
142        the complete history from the beginning of this project is also
143        available in this new Subversion repository. Our
144        <link ref="http://cvs.linuxsampler.org">old CVS server, along with its web frontend</link>
145        is still available, however is now in read only mode, so no changes can be
146        commited to CVS anymore. On the downloads page you can find
147        <link ref="http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html#svn">instructions how
148        to download ("checkout") source code from our Subversion server.</link>

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