This release aims to make the installation process a bit easier. Yabridge will now always search for its files in ~/.local/share/yabridge, regardless of whether or not it that directory is in your search path. This avoids the need to modify any environment variables when installing yabridge to its default location.
Added
- Added a separate yabridgectl AUR package for Arch and Manjaro. The original idea was that yabridgectl would not require a lot of changes and that a single yabridgectl-git package would be sufficient, but sometimes changes to yabridgectl will be incompatible with the current release so it's nicer to also have a separate regular package.
Changed
- Yabridge will now always search for
yabridge-host.exein~/.local/share/yabridgeeven if that directory is not in the search path. This should make setup easier, since you no longer have to modify any environment variables when installing yabridge to the default location. Because of this, the symlink-based installation method does not have a lot of advantages over the copy-based method anymore other than the fact that you can't forget to rerunyabridgectl syncafter an upgrade, so most references to it have been removed from the readme.
Fixed
- Fixed an issue where Renoise would show an error message when trying to load a plugin in the mixer.
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, debian 10, 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.
Updating
To update from an older installation, simply overwrite your current yabridge and yabridgectl files with the ones downloaded below, and then rerun yabridgectl sync to complete the update.
