5        <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/packages/osx/snapshots/">Download the latest OS X snapshot of the sampler!</link>
6        Along to our angoing sympathy for automatic snapshots, we finally provide
7        automatic builts also for Apple OS X! As soon as some developer commits
8        something new to our Subversion server, a new binary snapshot for OS X will
9        automatically be available for download from our webserver within minutes.
10        The snapshot tbz2 archive file contains universal binaries
11        (PPC 32 &amp; 64 bit, Intel 32 &amp; 64 bit) of the stand-alone version of the
12        sampler, VST and AU plugin version, and the graphical frontend applications
13        QSampler and Fantasia. Only our graphical instrument editor gigedit is not
14        yet part of the snapshots, it might follow at a later point. Please read
15        the README file in the tbz2 archive file for instructions how to install
16        everything on your Mac.

20        From now on, our source code is managed by a Subversion server. We
21        converted our existing CVS repository for the
22        <link ref="http://svn.linuxsampler.org">new Subversion server</link>, so
23        the complete history from the beginning of this project is also
24        available in this new Subversion repository. Our
25        <link ref="http://cvs.linuxsampler.org">old CVS server, along with its web frontend</link>
26        is still available, however is now in read only mode, so no changes can be
27        commited to CVS anymore. On the downloads page you can find
28        <link ref="http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html#svn">instructions how
29        to download ("checkout") source code from our Subversion server.</link>

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

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

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

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

75        Better a late than no announcement at all:
76        <list>
77          <li>linuxsampler 1.0.0</li>
78          <li>Fantasia 0.9</li>
79          <li>qsampler 0.2.2</li>
80          <li>gigedit 0.2.0</li>
81          <li>libgig 3.3.0</li>
82          <li>jlscp 0.8</li>
83          <li>liblscp 0.5.6</li>
84        </list>
85        This is the first release which allows the sampler to be used as audio
86        host plugin, namely supporting the standards VST, AU, DSSI and LV2. The
87        sampler's limits for max. voices &amp; disk streams can now be altered at
88        runtime by frontends, no need to recompile the sampler anymore. The Mac
89        version now also supports CoreAudio as audio driver. The Windows version
90        finally supports the sampler's instruments DB feature as well, however
91        expect it still to be unstable at this point. Along to the already
92        existing JACK audio driver, Jack MIDI support has been added in this
93        release. The sampler allows frontends now basic MIDI control, that is to
94        monitor incoming MIDI data on MIDI input devices and sampler channels and
95        to send note-on and note-off MIDI events to sampler channels, which
96        allows frontends to provide a virtual MIDI keyboard to the user. Besides
97        these major changes there were countless bugfixes and optimizations.

100        On the finish line to the upcoming next release of LinuxSampler and
101        friends, a beta pre-release for the Windows platform is now available
102        from our
103        <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/dev/win/">download server</link>.
104        This is the first Windows version which includes a VST plugin version
105        of the sampler. The installer includes both, native 64 bit binaries and
106        32 bit binaries. The installer detects the system type and installs the
107        appropriate binaries automatically.
108        Please follow the ongoing discussion and development on our
109        <link ref="http://bb.linuxsampler.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;t=339">web forum</link>
110        and <link ref="http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=linuxsampler-devel">developers' mailing list</link>
111        to avoid known problems. Feedback appreciated!
