From daniel at 64studio.com Tue Aug 1 15:44:06 2006 From: daniel at 64studio.com (Daniel James) Date: Wed Aug 2 06:06:16 2006 Subject: [linux-audio-announce] First beta release of the 64 Studio distribution Message-ID: <44CFAF06.9060704@64studio.com> 64 Studio 0.9.0 'Toe Rag' release notes 64 Studio is developing a collection of native free software for digital content creation on x86_64 hardware (that's AMD's 64-bit CPUs and Intel's EM64T chips). It's based on the pure 64 port of Debian GNU/Linux, but with a specialised package selection and lots of other customisations. You can now download a 709MB DVD-R image for version 0.9.0 beta. This will install Debian testing with X.org 7.0, the Gnome 2.14 desktop, Linux kernel 2.6.17 with real-time pre-emption patches and a selection of creative applications, covering audio and music, 2D and 3D graphics, and publishing for the web and print. It also includes the internet and office tools that a creative user is likely to need for their daily work. Main download site: ftp://download.64studio.com/ US mirror: http://download.linuxaudio.org/64studio/ The 709MB .iso image can be burned to DVD-R using the Nautilus DVD burner in earlier alpha releases of 64 Studio (right click on the image file after downloading it). For more details on the project, please visit: http://64studio.com/ Bug reports and suggestions are very welcome - please post them to the 64studio-devel mailing list: http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-devel Known serious bugs in this release: * The snd_seq module is not loaded automatically (this causes errors with MIDI applications until the module is loaded manually) * Gnome-cups-add printer applet does not work properly * After install, Synaptic will produce an error message until apt-get update is run Enjoy!

It's based on the pure 64 port of Debian GNU/Linux, but with a specialised package selection and lots of other customisations. A bugfix release of 64 Studio is now available for download. Version 0.9.1 is the second beta release, with the following significant fixes since 0.9.0: * AMD64 install image size reduced to fit on CD-R (a DVD burner is no longer required to make install discs) * Alternative i386 'Old Skool' edition now available - works on everything from a Via C3 processor upwards, just more slowly :-) If you are using a 32-bit machine, 256MB RAM is a practical minimum, 512MB or more is better. * The snd_seq module now loads automatically at boot time by default As always, please let us know about any bugs you find (or feature requests) on the 64studio-devel mailing list: http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-devel Cheers!

From the NEWS file: *** snip snip *** Changes: PAM Authentication Module. Allows the Rivendell user/group assignment to be dynamically managed by PAM-based login systems. Play-While-Recording/Play-While-Importing Capability. It is now possible to update cut audio content even while the selfsame cut is playing out in RDAirPlay. (This capability also requires that the libradio and librhpi packages be upgraded to the indicated versions in order to function properly). BugFixes, especially concerning voicetracking, RDLogManager log generation and automated downloads in RDCatch. See the ChangeLog for details. Library Versions: This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.97.2 and librhpi-0.94.7 be installed. If installing from RPM, the version of the currently installed libraries can be determined by doing: rpm -q libradio rpm -q librhpi Database Update: As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied. *** snip snip *** Further information, including screenshots, documentation and download links can be found at: http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/ Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.

This plugin is used by Jamin, so all Jamin users should upgrade. Many thanks are due to Sampo Savolainen for identifying the problem and working out the fix. All IIR filters - denomral fixes from Tim Blechmann. SVF filter - possible denormal improvements. Crossover distortion - added patch from Tim Blechmann that fixes a NaN-related bug. Build system - patch from Anand Kumria to fix build options on x86_64 and popwerpc64 Now includes that code that should let some of the plugins be built on Windows. OSX building is possible with some hacking to the auto* scripts. Hopefully this will be the last LADSPA flavoured release of these plugins as they are now nearly all working in LV2. I will be concentrating any further improvments on the LV2 versions, and only backporting major bugfixes. - Steve From ico.bukvic at gmail.com Sun Aug 13 05:19:09 2006 From: ico.bukvic at gmail.com (Ivica Ico Bukvic) Date: Mon Aug 14 03:35:36 2006 Subject: [linux-audio-announce] Linuxaudio.org announces new members Message-ID: <000601c6beb9$893cfae0$3402a8c0@64BitBadass> I actually would not have even noticed that this did not go through had it not been for Joern mentioning that the ANN list was getting nuked.
