v0.5.0
We'''re happy to announce the availability of Gloopy 0.5.0. Plugin crash resilience and an exact-rational time model.
Added
- Plugin crash resilience. Hosting VST3/LV2 in-process no longer risks a crash-loop.
Blacklist-before-load persists a plugin's id before instantiating it and clears it on
success, so a plugin that crashes while loading is skipped on the next launch (with a
"crashed last time" note and a Reset plugin blacklist action to retry). Plugin scanning
gains a dead-man's-pedal, so a scan-time crash auto-blacklists the offender next run. - Exact rational time. Note and clip positions are now stored as exact rationals
(BeatRatio) instead of doubles, so quantize, loop boundaries, and "is it exactly on the
bar?" no longer drift. Quantize snaps on exact grid math and is idempotent — a note
quantized to a triplet grid lands on exactly 2/3 or 1.0, not 0.6667/0.9999. Time signatures
keep 3/4 distinct from 6/8.
Changed
- The drum-kit demos now play real sampled drums — the bundled GMRockKit (acoustic) and
TR-808 (electronic) Hydrogen kits — instead of the synthesized sounds.
