Windows Open Beta 0.7.2

• Under the hood: the app now shares its streaming and session code with the Mac version and the listening page, so they stay in step. Nothing changes in how you use it; sessions, settings and projects carry over as they are.

Windows Open Beta 0.7.1

• Updates now come from Kinetic DSP's renamed release page on GitHub (Kinetic-DSP-Relay-WIN-installer). Nothing else changes: sessions, settings and projects carry over as they are.

Open Beta 0.7

• DAW Bridge is now RELAY, by Kinetic DSP. Updating keeps your settings and session name, and moves the app to Program Files\RELAY. Rescan plugins in your DAW afterwards: the plugin is now listed as RELAY by Kinetic DSP. Projects saved with DAW Bridge need RELAY inserted on the master bus again.
• Browser links are shorter, like listen.kineticdsp.com/my-studio, and show a preview with the session name when pasted into Discord, WhatsApp or Slack.
• Older versions can no longer start or join sessions, and are asked to update to this one.

Open Beta 0.6

• The plugin has its own window: Send on/off, Send level, and an Open DAW Bridge app button that starts the app or brings it to the front. It also shows whether the app is running.
• Browser links join the session straight away, with nothing to type. For a session with a passcode, the link carries an invite key instead of the passcode; changing the passcode makes old links stop working.
• The browser page has a Buffer slider and a dropout count: raise the buffer if the audio drops out.
• Copy browser link now has its own row in the app, and confirms when it's copied.

Open Beta 0.5.2

• Listeners can set their volume in the app (Join a session), next to Mute. It's remembered between runs. The browser page already has one.

Open Beta 0.5.1

• Listeners choose their quality: the host's own, or anything lighter if their connection struggles (never better than what the host sends). Works in the app and on the browser page.
• Mute button for listeners, in the app and on the browser page. The meters keep moving while muted.
• The browser page now has left and right level meters with dB readouts.
• Fixed: closing DAW Bridge while live could leave it hanging instead of quitting.
• Hosts: when a listener picks a lighter quality, your app sends that version too, which adds to your upload while they listen.

Beta 0.5

• Choose your stream quality before going live: Opus from 96 to 510 kbps, or uncompressed PCM at 16-bit, 24-bit or 32-bit float.
• Listeners hear every quality in DAW Bridge 0.5 or the browser page. Older versions can't play PCM sessions, so ask listeners to update.
• Level meters show what you're sending while you're live.
• "Your DAW" is now "DAW to System Sound", at the bottom of the Start tab. It stays off until you choose a device under Play on, and sessions don't need it.
• Works with Zoom, Google Meet and other video calls through screen sharing with audio. Discord isn't recommended.

Beta 0.4.1

• A smaller app: it leaves out video code DAW Bridge never used.
• Nothing else changes; sessions, the plugin and playback into calls work as in 0.4.

Beta 0.4

• The VST3 plugin is rebuilt from the ground up. Projects saved with earlier versions load it with their settings and automation unchanged.
• Sessions are started and joined by name only; the Advanced token options are gone.
• Licenses, in the app's footer, lists the open-source software DAW Bridge uses.
• Updates now come from this page. If you have 0.3 or older, install this version by hand once; later versions update themselves.
