4        Better a late than no announcement at all:
5        <list>
6          <li>linuxsampler 1.0.0</li>
7          <li>Fantasia 0.9</li>
8          <li>qsampler 0.2.2</li>
9          <li>gigedit 0.2.0</li>
10          <li>libgig 3.3.0</li>
11          <li>jlscp 0.8</li>
12          <li>liblscp 0.5.6</li>
13        </list>
14        This is the first release which allows the sampler to be used as audio
15        host plugin, namely supporting the standards VST, AU, DSSI and LV2. The
16        sampler's limits for max. voices &amp; disk streams can now be altered at
17        runtime by frontends, no need to recompile the sampler anymore. The Mac
18        version now also supports CoreAudio as audio driver. The Windows version
19        finally supports the sampler's instruments DB feature as well, however
20        expect it still to be unstable at this point. Along to the already
21        existing JACK audio driver, Jack MIDI support has been added in this
22        release. The sampler allows frontends now basic MIDI control, that is to
23        monitor incoming MIDI data on MIDI input devices and sampler channels and
24        to send note-on and note-off MIDI events to sampler channels, which
25        allows frontends to provide a virtual MIDI keyboard to the user. Besides
26        these major changes there were countless bugfixes and optimizations.

29        On the finish line to the upcoming next release of LinuxSampler and
30        friends, a beta pre-release for the Windows platform is now available
31        from our
32        <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/dev/win/">download server</link>.
33        This is the first Windows version which includes a VST plugin version
34        of the sampler. The installer includes both, native 64 bit binaries and
35        32 bit binaries. The installer detects the system type and installs the
36        appropriate binaries automatically.

43        Cheers Mac users! LinuxSampler is finally available as AudioUnit plugin!
44        It's still a work in progress, but you might already want to checkout
45        the experimental AU binary package of LinuxSampler, available from our
46        <link ref="http://download.linuxsampler.org/dev/mac/">download server</link>.
47        As this is still an early development version, please follow the ongoing
48        discussion and development on our

54        We're happy to announce that the first freely available sample library
55        is now available on our downloads server. Thanks to Mats Helgesson for
56        giving us the permission to share his "Maestro Concert Grand v2" piano
57        library with you. You find the download link along with the library's
58        license informations and a demo track for prelistening on our
59        <link ref="instruments.html">instruments</link> site.

74        Hey Mac Users! We hope to give you a good way to start the new year
75        by announcing that LinuxSampler is now officially
76        available for OS X as well! You find an installer (disk image) of the
77        latest release of LinuxSampler and QSampler for OS X on our
78        <link ref="http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html">downloads site</link>.
79        Please note: gigedit is not yet available for Mac, we still need to do some
80        work on this. Same applies to JSampler unfortunately, because the required
81        Java version 1.6 is not officially available for Mac yet. Have a look
82        at the <link ref="osx.html">OS X HOWTO</link> for an easy start.

85        You tried out the young Windows version of LinuxSampler and encountered
86        problems? Check out the
87        <link ref="http://linuxsampler.org/windows.html#houston">Trouble
88        Shooting Section</link> of the LinuxSampler Windows HOWTO. It still
89        doesn't solve your problem? You can ask for help on our

96        Another strike:
97        <list>
98          <li>linuxsampler 0.5.1</li>
99          <li>jsampler 0.8a</li>
100          <li>qsampler 0.2.1</li>
101          <li>gigedit 0.1.1</li>

104        </list>
105        What do you expect from a sampler called LinuxSampler? Exactly: that it
106        <link ref="screenshots/win32_premiere.png">conquers the Windows
107        world</link>. This is the first official release of our applications for
108        the Windows platform, providing a convenient all-in-one installer tagged
109        "20071207". Supported drivers for this new system are so far: MME for
110        MIDI and ASIO for audio. Needless to say that there still might be
111        plenty of issues on Windows. Also note that the instruments database
112        feature is not ported yet. Have a look at the
113        <link ref="windows.html">Windows HOWTO</link> for a smooth start.
114        Beside this first Windows release, this is merely a bugfix release, i.e.
115        fixing a serious crash in LinuxSampler. Retrieving instrument names from
116        .gig files with the frontends is now much faster, so better keep that
117        option always on in QSampler from now on. With gigedit you can now edit
118        multiple (dimension) regions simultaniously. JSampler is finally able
119        to retrieve instrument names of instrument files and even remotely from
120        another machine, beside minor cosmetics like a total stream count
121        and volume displayed in dB, as well as couple bug fixes. QSampler gave
122        Qt3 an official funeral and is finally completely ported to Qt4. A lot
123        of the QSampler code base has changed due to this. So you still might
124        encounter bugs. Beside that the device management dialog received couple
125        of bug fixes.

128        As you might have noticed, we had issues with our linuxsampler.org DNS
129        names in the last two days, because it was dependent to a foreign server
130        out of our control. We just addressed this issue and finally completely
131        moved the DNS responsibility to our own servers to avoid this happening
132        again. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused!
