5        The Mac installer was broken on latest OS X 10.10 Yosemite. This had been
6        fixed today. Get the latest
7        <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/packages/osx/snapshots/">snapshot for Mac</link>
8        with Yosemite support now.

12        A new documentation site has been launched:
13        <link ref="http://doc.linuxsampler.org">http://doc.linuxsampler.org</link> -
14        This separate page dedicated to manuals, tutorials and other kind of
15        articles for the LinuxSampler project, is using a new solution to write
16        and maintain such articles with a minimum of effort. Be invited to help us
17        <link ref="http://doc.linuxsampler.org/Writing_Docs/">writing documentation</link>
18        for LinuxSampler and friends! As one of the first topics, this site is now
19        hosting an introduction to the new
20        <link ref="http://doc.linuxsampler.org/Instrument_Scripts/NKSP_Language/">NKSP Real-Time Instrument Script Language</link>.
21        The long-term plan is to move all documentation of this project from our www
22        server to that new site.

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

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

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

60        <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/packages/osx/snapshots/">Download the latest OS X snapshot of the sampler!</link>
61        Following our ongoing sympathy for automatic snapshots, we finally provide
62        automatic builds also for Apple OS X! As soon as some developer commits
63        something new to our Subversion server, a new binary snapshot for OS X will
64        automatically be available for download from our webserver within minutes.
65        The snapshot tbz2 archive file contains universal binaries
66        (PPC 32 bit, Intel 32 &amp; 64 bit) of the stand-alone version of the
67        sampler, VST and AU plugin version, and the graphical frontend applications
68        QSampler and Fantasia. Only our graphical instrument editor gigedit is not
69        yet part of the snapshots, it might follow at a later point. Please read
70        the README file in the tbz2 archive file for instructions how to install
71        everything on your Mac.

75        From now on, our source code is managed by a Subversion server. We
76        converted our existing CVS repository for the
77        <link ref="http://svn.linuxsampler.org">new Subversion server</link>, so
78        the complete history from the beginning of this project is also
79        available in this new Subversion repository. Our
80        <link ref="http://cvs.linuxsampler.org">old CVS server, along with its web frontend</link>
81        is still available, however is now in read only mode, so no changes can be
82        commited to CVS anymore. On the downloads page you can find
83        <link ref="http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html#svn">instructions how
84        to download ("checkout") source code from our Subversion server.</link>

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

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

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

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