@guenther do you have a source on this?

This is madness https://hacks.mozilla.org/2022/02/version-100-in-chrome-and-firefox/

@gcrkrause @unfa it is nothing new exactly. and they always had this stance anyway.

even their GPLv3 license is unclear if is even valid. they require extra work which is unenforceable by GPL rules. when asked for comment they say nothing back.. :/
I went to ask JUCE devs since Steinberg is just quiet about it. https://github.com/juce-framework/JUCE/issues/1027

@colinsmatt11 right yes, which is kinda what rust developers are doing. A lot of C++ concepts do not apply to rust, so a pure conversion is not ideal.

I did something similar myself for DPF where I went with a custom API-incompatible implementation.

On both cases the final binary is ABI-compatible with regular VST3. As far as users are concerned, all approaches result in valid VST3 plugins

@colinsmatt11 a pure reimplementation that would just convert the existing C++ code into something else would for sure be problematic, but Steinberg doesn't even want clean-from-scratch implementations.

As far as I am aware, but obviously not a lawyer and all that, implementing something from scratch that targets an existing API is quite okay. No copyrighted code ends up being used.

@colinsmatt11 APIs are not copyrightable, that is enough to handle this whole thing. They still act like they are though.

And here we go, tagged Cardinal 22.02, the first official stable release.
Checkout https://kx.studio/News/?action=view&url=cardinal-2202-is-now-released for the announcement and small details about the project.

Have fun!

@rghvdberg@sonomu.club and fix it when broken! that is so important

With HaikuOS Xlibe compat thing we can use some stock X11 code directly in Haiku, nice!
glx doesn't work yet, but cairo stuff does.

Slowly we get a few audio plugin GUIs to work 🚀 🚀 🚀

@trummerschlunk @goaty except it not just a synth (generating sound) it can also be used for FX or sequencing

@klaatu @sprkwd@mas.to Would "Eurorack-style modular synthesizer toolkit" work too, or best to forget about the eurorack label?

I need opinions/suggested for Cardinal's short description.

Something like...
"A Eurorack-style virtual modular synthesis toolkit" or "modular synthesizer audio plugin"
don't like either of them tbh.
it's hard to make a nice and short description that describes it well enough.

Let me know if you got any suggestions you think are good.
Thanks!

@unfa why is "nothing will happen" not an option here? this is all bluffing IMO, pleasing dear investors. aka "it is not our fault that we are losing money, it is those damn europeans and their regulations!"

Perks of using mono-spaced in a text editor/field: you can make art 🦉 🐈
