[Qtractor-devel] [ANN] Qtractor 0.9.23 - An Early-Summer'21 Release batch #3

[Rui N. C. <rn...@rn...>]

Hello again, one third and last time...

But happy to announce yet another point release of, drum roll please...

    Qtractor 0.9.23 (early-summer'21) is out!

Changes for this hot season are just but a few, nothing heartbreaking:
- Dropped the 'Activate' option on the plug-in Selection dialog, now 
being as always on by default.
- Have some tolerance for JACK buffer-size changes, only prompting to a 
complete session reload, if increasing in double the initial period size.
- Introducing plug-in blacklisting, on user discretion (in 
View/Options.../Plugins/Blacklist) and on inventory scan (crashed 
plug-ins are now automatically blacklisted).
- Added special support for LV2 UI GTK2 plugins based on Gtkmm 2.4 
framework.
- All builds default to Qt6 (Qt >= 6.1) where available.
- CMake [8] is now the official build system.

Description:
    Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application 
written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, 
where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the 
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main 
infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio 
workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.
