4        LinuxSampler 2.1.1 had been released. This is mainly a maintenance release.

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

28        Then Andrew Coughlan's <link ref="http://doc.linuxsampler.org/lscp2idf">lscp2idf scripts</link>
29        might help you to automatically extract MIDI instruments from LSCP files to
30        the MusE sequencer's IDF format, which can be helpful for patch changes
31        in that sequencer.

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

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

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

75        The Mac installer was broken on latest OS X 10.10 Yosemite. This had been
76        fixed today. Get the latest

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

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

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

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

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

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

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