Release 1.2.0 Beta 8 Pre-release
Pre-release

PLUGIN

  • Fixed service receiver reachable issue:
    The server list was updated before checking the reachability and cleaned up afterwards. This could lead to the plugin triggering a reconnect. This issue materialized on Windows with ipv4 and ipv6 enabled.

SERVER

  • Optimized local mode
    This change avoids flickering when opening a plugin UI by rendering it at the target position initially to avoid moving it and by waiting for editor creation in the worker thread.

Release 1.2.0 Beta 7 Pre-release
Pre-release

GENERAL

  • NEW Use unix domain sockets for the communication between plugins, server and sandboxes:
    
In the following cases we will prefer unix domain sockets over TCP for performance improvements:
    • A plugin connects to a server/sandbox with local mode enabled
    • Plugin communication with the tray application
    • Sandbox communication with the server in plugin isolation mode
  • NEW Added IPv6 support
  • NEW Clipboard sharing and Copy & Paste support
  • Improved window positioning with local mode enabled:

    Plugin windows are properly positioned by aligning to the DAW window size rather than the rendered editor space. This resolves issues with AG zoom enabled, if DAW plugin windows are larger than the AG editor itself and scaling on Windows.
  • Improved mDNS server detection:
    
The plugin will perform connectivity checks before showing a server entry. Also, remote servers in local mode will not be shown anymore.
  • Fixed memory file access flags on windows, this could have led to loosing window positions
  • Fixed numpad support (resolves #938)

PLUGIN

  • NEW Added an option to bypass the AG plugin when disconnected or not loaded (resolves #778)
  • NEW Added an option to keep the plugin window open on the server when closing the AG plugin in the DAW (resolves #710)
  • NEW Allow individual buffer settings by AG plugin
  • NEW Added tooltips to failed remote plugins that show the error string
  • Improved Plugin Monitor:
    • Added "not loaded" (yellow) state and error tooltips
    • Scrolling support
  • Improved AudioStreamer outbound buffering
  • Improved instrument bus/channel setup (mainly for Logic, enable more mono/stereo bus combinations)
  • Fixed a memory leak in processBlock
  • Fixed search window crashes
  • Fixed removal of failed remote plugins

SERVER

  • NEW Sandbox mode - Plugin Isolation:

    In addition to isolating a plugin chain in a separate process, each loaded remote plugin will be isolated in its own sandbox process.
  • NEW ID based configurations: 

    Multiple servers can be run on one computer using different IDs. Each server will have a dedicated config going forward. This allows for running x86 and arm servers on the same macOS instance using different plugin folders etc.
  • NEW Much faster plugin scans
  • NEW Multi-select actions (activate/deactivate/unban) in the plugin manager (resolves #892)
  • Try a few more channel layouts before falling back to the plugin default
  • Improved plugin ID (VST3) cross platform compatibility
  • Improved plugin UI bounds detection
  • Make sure plugin windows get positioned in the user area to avoid overlapping taskbars (resolves #671)
  • Show a warning with plugins that failed after scanning
  • Fixed a VST3 initialization bug
  • Fixed mouse position calculation in fullscreen mode
  • Fixed some memory corruption errors
