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

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

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

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

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

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

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

95        A new documentation site has been launched:
96        <link ref="http://doc.linuxsampler.org">http://doc.linuxsampler.org</link> -
97        This separate page dedicated to manuals, tutorials and other kind of
98        articles for the LinuxSampler project, is using a new solution to write
99        and maintain such articles with a minimum of effort. Be invited to help us
100        <link ref="http://doc.linuxsampler.org/Writing_Docs/">writing documentation</link>
101        for LinuxSampler and friends! As one of the first topics, this site is now
102        hosting an introduction to the new
103        <link ref="http://doc.linuxsampler.org/Instrument_Scripts/NKSP_Language/">NKSP Real-Time Instrument Script Language</link>.
104        The long-term plan is to move all documentation of this project from our www
105        server to that new site.

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

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

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

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

158        From now on, our source code is managed by a Subversion server. We
159        converted our existing CVS repository for the
160        <link ref="http://svn.linuxsampler.org">new Subversion server</link>, so
161        the complete history from the beginning of this project is also
162        available in this new Subversion repository. Our
163        <link ref="http://cvs.linuxsampler.org">old CVS server, along with its web frontend</link>
164        is still available, however is now in read only mode, so no changes can be
165        commited to CVS anymore. On the downloads page you can find
166        <link ref="http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html#svn">instructions how
167        to download ("checkout") source code from our Subversion server.</link>

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