BananaSplit 2.8.17
BananaSplit 2.8.17: a safer gate and compressor
A fix release for the gate and compressor that came in 2.8.16. On Linux, Windows and macOS.
Fixed
- A broken sample can no longer turn a whole moment of audio invalid (#46, #47). If a misbehaving app sent one absurdly loud sample while the strip's input gain was above 0 dB, the gate and compressor turned it into invalid audio (NaN) for a whole audio cycle, on every bus that strip feeds. The level they read is now capped, so the rest of the mix is unaffected. A new test covers it. Normal audio sounds exactly as before.
Also
- The macOS build and tests now run on GitHub's macOS 15 machines, because GitHub retired the macOS 14 ones on 2 November (#48, #49). The macOS app itself is unchanged and still runs on macOS 11 or newer.
- The window and tray library (tao) on Windows is updated to 0.37.2 (#45).
- The manual for this version is attached:
BananaSplit-Manual-2.8.17.pdf.
Updating
- Linux and Windows, from 2.8.0 or newer: Menu ▸ Check for updates… ▸ Install, or
bananasplit --update. Flatpak: install the new.flatpakfrom this page. - From 2.7.3 or older: install 2.8.17 by hand once. From then on it updates itself.
- macOS: download
bananasplit-2.8.17-macos.zip, quit BananaSplit and replace the app in Applications. Open it the first time with Open Anyway (System Settings › Privacy & Security), and allow the microphone again if macOS asks. - Configs, scenes, recordings and the apps you put on strips before load as they are. A take that is recording while you update ends with the restart.
