VOIDWORM 1.0.1

Maintenance release. No change to the sound: the processed output is bit-identical to 1.0.0 across every case in the internal audit.

Lower CPU

The engine is roughly 14-15% cheaper at every oversampling factor, and the shipped defaults are lighter:

	1.0.0	1.0.1
Out of the box	4X, HQ on — about 20% of a core	2X, HQ off — about 10%
4X	~20%	~17%
8X	~38%	~32%

Two changes account for the engine saving. Pre-EQ coefficient interpolation now stops once it has settled instead of running on every sample forever, and filter health is checked at block boundaries rather than roughly ten branches per sample per stage across four reactors. Fault containment is unchanged: NaN, both infinities and 1e12 spikes fed through 400 blocks still produce no non-finite output.

Parameter handles are now resolved once at construction rather than hashing around fifty ID strings on every audio block.

Defaults changed for new instances only. Existing sessions and presets keep whatever oversampling factor they were saved with.

Building from source

Configuring without an explicit build type produced an unoptimised binary, because the optimisation flags were only applied to an exact Release configuration and RelWithDebInfo fell in the same gap. The project now defaults to Release. If you built 1.0.0 yourself and found it heavy, this is why.

The project also now builds on Linux. Thanks to @ssabug for reporting both problems and supplying the fixes.

Fixes

• Enable the C language so generators stricter than Visual Studio can configure the project
• Disambiguate a juce::File assignment that libstdc++ rejected
• Bound the reactor path buffers at runtime rather than only under an assertion
• Build outside the project tree when its path contains parentheses
