> DPF-Plugins v1.2 released
On 2019-03-02 by falkTX

Hello everyone, a new release of DPF-Plugins is here.
This is mostly a bugfix release, with a few little new things.
This is what changed compared to the last release:

• Fix glBars and ProM plugins not being built and installed
• Kars: Added release and volume parameters
• Kars: Remove its useless UI
• Nekobi: Add enum values for waveform parameter
• Remove modguis, they are maintained in a separate repo

DPF changes

DPF (the small framework behind these plugins) saw some important changes.
They are not all relevant to DPF-Plugins directly, but worth mentioning:

• Fix samplerate property in lv2 UIs
• Fix (implement) parent window for about dialogs for MacOS and Windows
• Add get/set scaling to Window
• Add option to automatically scale plugin UIs
• Allow plugin UIs to be user-resizable, test with info and meters example
• Implement basic effGetParameterProperties in VST2 plugins (boolean, integer and log flags)
• Implement midi out
• Implement enumerator style of parameters
• Implement LV2-trigger-type parameters
• Implement Shift-click to reset sliders
• Report supported LV2 options in generated ttl
• Render VST2 parameter-text integer, boolean and enum parameters
• Rework calculation of VST2 transport/time info
• Set _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE for our X11 windows

Other things worth noting is that 2 new exciting things are currently under development: Cairo graphics support and AU plugin wrapper.
Eventually these will be part of core DPF, but for now they are being discussed and worked on with other developers.
