Changed
-
The way keyboard input works has been completely rewritten to be more reliable in certain hosts and to provide a more integrated experience. Hovering over the plugin's editor while the window provided by the host is active will now immediately grab keyboard focus, and yabridge will return input focus to the host's window when moving the mouse outside of the plugin's editor when the window is still active. This should fix some instances where keyboard input was not working in hosts with more complex editor windows like REAPER and Ardour, and it also allows things like the comment field in REAPER's FX window to still function.
A consequence of this change is that pressing Space in Bitwig Studio 3.2 will now play or pause playback as intended, but this does mean that it can be impossible to type the space character in text boxes inside of a plugin editor window. Please let me know if this causes any issues for you.
-
Both unrecognized and invalid options are now printed on started to make debugging
yabridge.tomlfiles easier. -
Added a note to the message stating that libSwell GUI support has been disabled to clarify that this is expected behaviour when using REAPER. The message now also contains a suggestion to enable the
hack_reaper_update_displayoption when it is not already enabled.
Fixed
- Added a workaround for reparenting issues with the plugin editor GUI on a specific i3 setup.
Documentation
- The documentation on
yabridge.tomlfiles and the available options has been rewritten in an effort to make it easier to comprehend.
Compatibility
The archive ending in -ubuntu-18.04.tar.gz is a compatibility release meant for older distros and is thus slightly larger in size. If you're using Ubuntu 18.04, Linux Mint 19, or any other distro that's older than Ubuntu 20.04, then you should use this archive instead of the regular release. Yabridgectl will run on any distro.
