What's been going on with Ardour?

Paul Davis has an update on Ardour development, which looks at the upcoming 3.0 version, as well as maintenance on 2.x. Ardour is a "digital audio workstation" that runs on Linux and MacOS X. "This work went along with a top-to-bottom revisit of the undo/redo mechanism with the goal of making it scale properly to operations involving large numbers of regions. The results? Operations that were taking an absurd amount of time (40 seconds) to undo can now be undone in less than half a second. The overall responsiveness of undo/redo has now greatly improved." Davis also points to a recent ShotOfJaq podcast on funding models for free software projects that uses Ardour as an example. The comments on the podcast page are worth reading as well.
