Changed

• When building from source, only statically link Boost when the with-static-boost option is enabled.
• The use-bitbridge and use-winedbg options have been replaced by with-bitbridge and with-winedbg for consistency's sake. The old options will be marked as deprecated in the next minor release.

Fixed

• Fixed memory error that would cause crashing on playback with some buffer sizes in Mixbus6.
• Opening a plugin would override the Wine prefix for all subsequent plugins opened from within the same process. This prevented the use of multiple Wine prefixes in hosts that do not sandbox their plugins, such as Ardour.
• Manual Wine prefix overides through the WINEPREFIX environment were not reflected in the output shown on startup.
• Fixed plugin group socket name generation. This would have prevented plugin groups with the same name from being used simultaneously in different Wine prefixes.
• Distinguish between active processes and zombies when checking whether a group host process is still running during initialization.

Compatibility

The regular release archive has been compiled for glibc version 2.28 and GCC 10. If you're running Ubuntu 18.04, Linux Mint 19, or any other distro still using glibc 2.27, then you should download the file that ends with 'ubuntu-18.04'.

Added

• Added the ability to host multiple plugins within a single Wine process through plugin groups. A plugin group is a user-defined set of plugins that will be hosted together in the same Wine process. This allows multiple instances of plugins to share data and communicate with each other. Examples of plugins that can benefit from this are FabFilter Pro-Q 3, MMultiAnalyzer, and the iZotope mixing plugins. See the readme for instructions on how to set this up.

Changed

• Changed architecture to use one fewer socket.
• GUI events are now always handled on a steady timer rather than being interleaved as part of the event loop. This change was made to unify the event handling logic for individually hosted plugins and plugin groups. It should not have any noticeable effects, but please let me know if this does cause unwanted behavior.

Fixed

• Steal keyboard focus when clicking on the plugin editor window to account for the new keyboard focus behavior in Bitwig Studio 3.2.
• Fixed large amount of empty lines in the log file when the Wine process closes unexpectedly.
• Made the plugin and host detection slightly more robust.

Compatibility

The regular release archive has been compiled for glibc version 2.28. If you're running Ubuntu 18.04, Linux Mint 19, or any other distro still using glibc 2.27, then you should download the file that ends with 'ubuntu-18.04'. The Ubuntu 18.04 version now statically links to libstdc++ starting from this version. This should not cause any issues, but please let me know if it does!

This fixes the bitbridge functionality for the builds provided for Ubuntu 18.04. Aside from that this release is functionally identical to yabridge 1.1.3.

Fixed

• Fixed a static linking issue with the 32-bit build for Ubuntu 18.04.

Compatibility

The regular release archive has been compiled for glibc version 2.28. If you're running Ubuntu 18.04, Linux Mint 19, or any other distro still using glibc 2.27, then you should download the file that ends with 'ubuntu-18.04'.

Fixed

• Added a workaround for the compilation issues under Wine 5.7 and above as caused by Wine bug #49138.
• Added a workaround for plugins that improperly defer part of their initialization process without telling the host. This fixes startup behavior for the Roland Cloud plugins.
• Added a workaround for a rare race condition in certain plugins caused by incorrect assumptions in plugin's editor handling. Fixes the editor for Superior Drummer 3 and the Roland Cloud synths in Bitwig Studio.
• Fixed potential issue with plugins not returning their editor size.

A quick hotfix for crashes under Ardour and Mixbus.

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where plugin removal could cause Ardour and Mixbus to crash.

Changed

• Changed installation recommendations to only install using symlinks with hosts that support individually sandboxed plugins.
• Respect YABRIDGE_DEBUG_FILE when printing initialization errors.

Fixed

• Stop waiting for the Wine VST host process on startup if the process has crashed or if Wine was not able to start.

Added

• Added support for plugins that send MIDI events back to the host. This allows plugins such as Cthulhu and Scaler to output notes and CC for another plugin to work with.
• Added support for querying and setting detailed information about speaker configurations for use in advanced surround setups. This indirectly allows yabridge to work under Renoise.
• Added automated development builds for yabridge, available by clicking on the 'Automated builds' badge in the project readme.

Changed

• Changed the plugin detection mechanism to support yet another way of symlinking plugins. Now you can use a symlink to a copy of libyabridge.so that's installed for a plugin in another directory. This is not recommended though.
• Changed Wine prefix detection to be relative to the plugin's .dll file, rather than the loaded .so file.
• Increased the maximum number of audio channels from 32 to 256.
• Clarified the error that appears when we're unable to load the .dll.
• Yabridge will now print the used version of Wine during startup. This can be useful for diagnosing startup problems.

Fixed

• Fixed plugins failing to load on certain versions of Ubuntu because of paths starting with two forward slashes.
• Redirect the output from the Wine host process earlier in the startup process. Otherwise errors printed during startup won't be visible, making it very hard to diagnose problems.

Initial release of yabridge with both 64-bit and 32-bit VST2 plugin support.
