After reviewing the recent server incident we + came to the conclusion that the attack was fortunately quite limited. + We rolled back the system, closed the exploited security + hole and brought all services back online. In case you downloaded or updated any source files + from our svn server + between March 2nd and March 3rd, we recommend you to + delete the entire source directory and make an entire fresh checkout from + svn to avoid any issues. The svn server is now back at a clean state. + + + Important notice: + Our server had been compromised. For that reason we were forced to take most + services offline for now to protect you from accessing any compromised material. + We are currently investigating this incident and will update you accordingly. + + + Web Forum and + Bug Tracker + are back online: As you might have noticed, our + Web Forum as well as our + Bug Tracker were partly + unavailable for quite a while. It was possible to read them, but especially + registration of new user accounts were disabled (i.e. due to numerous + spam bot attacks we suffered in the past). Those issues have been + resolved and so both sites are back available and should now work entirely + as expected. + + + There is some progress regarding Gigedit's integrated + NKSP + real-time instrument script editor. Check out the + News Article ... + + + LinuxSampler 2.0.0 had been released after six years of development! + Check the + release notes + for a detailed review of what's new with LinuxSampler and friends. + + + + The Mac installer was broken on latest OS X 10.10 Yosemite. This had been + fixed today. Get the latest + snapshot for Mac + with Yosemite support now. + + + + A new documentation site has been launched: + http://doc.linuxsampler.org - + This separate page dedicated to manuals, tutorials and other kind of + articles for the LinuxSampler project, is using a new solution to write + and maintain such articles with a minimum of effort. Be invited to help us + writing documentation + for LinuxSampler and friends! As one of the first topics, this site is now + hosting an introduction to the new + NKSP Real-Time Instrument Script Language. + The long-term plan is to move all documentation of this project from our www + server to that new site. + + + + For the Mac users out there: We finally have a convenient installer for the + OS X version of LinuxSampler. This is already integrated in our automatic + build system. So from now on all + daily snapshot builds for Mac + are automatically built with an installer. By default the installer will + install all components (LinuxSampler stand-alone application, VST and + Audio Unit plugin version of LinuxSampler, QSampler, Fantasia, GigEdit and + command line tools. At step "Installation Type" you can however also + override the default installation and select which components to install. + + + + gigedit finally included with OS X snapshots! + Due to the variety of third party library dependencies it took a while, but + finally "gigedit", our graphical instrument editor for Gigasampler / + GigaStudio files, is now included with the automatic binary snapshots builds + for Mac OS X. The automatic snapshot installers are automatically compiled + by one of our servers each time a developer commits something new to our + Subversion (development) server. You can use gigedit on Mac OS X as + stand-alone instrument editor as well as in live-mode while running + LinuxSampler. In the latter case your changes with gigedit get immediately + audible while playing the instrument on the keyboard at the same time. + + + + Added SFZ implementation status page. + We are currently in the works to implement support for the SFZ format, + which is a powerful and open sample library format, already adopted by + many commercial samplers. Check our new SFZ status page to see which + aspects of the format are already supported by LinuxSampler, and which + ones are yet to be implemented. + + + + Download the latest OS X snapshot of the sampler! + Following our ongoing sympathy for automatic snapshots, we finally provide + automatic builds also for Apple OS X! As soon as some developer commits + something new to our Subversion server, a new binary snapshot for OS X will + automatically be available for download from our webserver within minutes. + The snapshot tbz2 archive file contains universal binaries + (PPC 32 bit, Intel 32 & 64 bit) of the stand-alone version of the + sampler, VST and AU plugin version, and the graphical frontend applications + QSampler and Fantasia. Only our graphical instrument editor gigedit is not + yet part of the snapshots, it might follow at a later point. Please read + the README file in the tbz2 archive file for instructions how to install + everything on your Mac. + + + + From now on, our source code is managed by a Subversion server. We + converted our existing CVS repository for the + new Subversion server, so + the complete history from the beginning of this project is also + available in this new Subversion repository. Our + old CVS server, along with its web frontend + is still available, however is now in read only mode, so no changes can be + commited to CVS anymore. On the downloads page you can find + instructions how + to download ("checkout") source code from our Subversion server. + + + + After a huge down time of almost one month, we decided to move to new, more + reliable servers. Thanks to the University of Heilbronn which kindly hosted + our servers for 8 years. We started to move the most important services to + a commercial server host, which will be financed by your donations. Sorry + for this long absence and thank you for your support! + Download the latest Windows snapshot of the sampler!
