LV2 Released
Announcing the first stable release of the LV2 specification. LV2 is a simple but extensible successor of LADSPA, intended to address the limitations of LADSPA which many applications have outgrown. By creating LV2 "extensions" (which can be done independently), virtually any feature is possible for LV2 plugins and hosts. This release (revision 1) has been in active use by many projects for several months, including several extensions for advanced features beyond the capabilities of LADSPA or DSSI. Strong long-term compatibility is a primary goal of LV2: all future revisions of LV2 will remain backwards compatible with previous revisions. All the components of the "core" LV2 specification are packaged here: http://lv2plug.in/spec/lv2core-1.tar.gz Distributions are encouraged to include this package. More information, downloads, and links to LV2-using projects can be found at: http://lv2plug.in/ Happy hacking, ~ The LV2 team _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-announce mailing list Linux-audio-announce@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-...

LV2 Released Posted Jan 11, 2008 21:59 UTC (Fri) by charlieb (subscriber, #23340) [Link] Mentioning what LV2 and/or LADSPA and/or DSSI are in the front page article summary might be useful.
VL4 Released Posted Jan 11, 2008 22:27 UTC (Fri) by proski (subscriber, #104) [Link] VL4 released From: Dalibor Vade <dalibor@vl4.org> To: vl4-devel@lists.vl4.org [VLL] VL4 Released Announcing the first stable release of the VL4 specification. VL4 is a simple but extensible successor of GALTUB, intended to address the limitations of GALTUB which many applications have outgrown. By creating VL4 "extensions" (which can be done independently), virtually any feature is possible for VL4 plugins and hosts. This release (revision 1) has been in active use by many projects for several months, including several extensions for advanced features beyond the capabilities of GALTUB or OMMG. Strong long-term compatibility is a primary goal of VL4: all future revisions of VL4 will remain backwards compatible with previous revisions.
LV2 Released Posted Jan 12, 2008 0:00 UTC (Sat) by endecotp (guest, #36428) [Link] ....or in the "full story" for that matter. Clicing through to lv2plug.in, I read that "LV2 is a standard for plugins and matching host applications, mainly targeted at audio processing and generation."
LV2 Released Posted Jan 12, 2008 1:22 UTC (Sat) by drag (subscriber, #31333) [Link] It's all just audio plugins used in audio editing applications. Nothing very mysterious about it or anything. Unless your a complete newbie when it comes to audio editing in Linux (which in itself is not a bad thing) you'll know already what LADSPA is and what LV2 is for if your at all interested in anything it would do for you. It would of been nice, of course, if somebody simply asked: "What is LASPDA or VL2 and why should I care?" and have gotten a simple repsonse rather then all the slashdot-isque silliness.
LV2 Released Posted Jan 12, 2008 9:27 UTC (Sat) by Cato (subscriber, #7643) [Link] The point is valid - simply mentioning that short summary about LV2 would have been enough to help readers decide if the story was interesting without having to click through.
LV2 Released Posted Jan 14, 2008 15:30 UTC (Mon) by charlieb (subscriber, #23340) [Link] > The point is valid ... We think so, but either there is no editor reading these comments, or the editor doesn't agree.
LV2 Released Posted Jan 14, 2008 23:25 UTC (Mon) by cook (subscriber, #4) [Link] The editor does eventually read the comments. The article could have been a bit more explicit about what LV2 and LADSPA are, links to both sites were included for those who did not know. LADSPA is something that shows up frequently on the devlopment page, similar to Samba, Apache, GNOME and KDE. Perhaps it was wrong to assume that the acronym was widely understood by front page readers.
LV2 Released Posted Jan 12, 2008 15:01 UTC (Sat) by tialaramex (subscriber, #21167) [Link] It's not clear to me what the expected behavior is from developers. Should I update my LADSPA plugins to use LV2? Am I expected to develop and maintain LV2 plugins in parallel with the LASPA plugins? Or are application developers expected to retain back compatibility with LADSPA so that plugins like mine still work ? Presumably LV2 plugins can't be used by old software which only knows about LADSPA, is there an adaptor of some sort that fixes this? Or are we hoping that all such software will be updated to LV2 over the next few months ?
LV2 Released Posted Jan 12, 2008 17:57 UTC (Sat) by xav (guest, #18536) [Link] As they're reinventing something, I wonder why they didn't use Gstreamer instead. NIH syndrome ?
LV2 Released Posted Jan 12, 2008 19:48 UTC (Sat) by wingo (guest, #26929) [Link] Different problem domains.
LV2 Released Posted Jan 12, 2008 20:47 UTC (Sat) by job (guest, #670) [Link] Because GStreamer is to LV2 as a pony is to a spruce.
LV2 Released Posted Jan 13, 2008 1:57 UTC (Sun) by jd (guest, #26381) [Link] (Best Monty Python voice): The Larch. The Larch.
