Faust 0.9.9.3 released

Grame - Centre National de Creation Musicale - is pleased to announce the release of
Faust 0.9.9.3.

Faust AUdio STreams is a powerful and expressive functional programming language for
realtime audio signal processing. The Faust compiler translates DSP specifications
into efficient C++ code.

A variety of plateforms and plugin formats are supported. A single Faust specification
can be used to easily generate JACK and ALSA applications, as well as LADSPA, MAX/MSP,
PD, Q, SC and VST plugins.

In addition to C++ code, the Faust compiler can also generate SVG block-diagram
representations as well as XML descriptions. To easily test the compiler before
installing it, please refer to http://faust.grame.fr.

The Faust distribution can be downloaded at http://sourceforge.net/projects/faudiostream

What's new :

• New architecture files :
  . vst2p4.cpp (VST-2.4 architecture file),
  . vsti-mono.cpp (mono VSTi synth architecture file),
  . matlabplot.cpp (architecture file to plot data in Matlab or Octave format).

• New scripts for a very easy generation of executable applications :
  . faust2alsa (call the faust compiler and g++ to produce an Alsa application),
  . faust2jack (call the faust compiler and g++ to produce a Jack application),
  . faust2plot (call the faust compiler and g++ to produce an plot application),
  . faust2svg (call the faust compiler to produce SVG block-diagrams),
  . faust2firefox,(faust2svg + display with firefox)
  . faust2octave (faust2plot + display with octave)

• New libraries :
  . filter.lib (Faust filters library)
  . effect.lib (Faust effects library)

• faust2pd updated to Q 7.8,

• Improved metadata management : tags are no more limited to a predifined set, metadata are
  now reported as comments in the generated C++ code

• Support for new --simple-names option when drawing block-diagrams
  .
