robbert-vdh/yabridge 3.7.0

on GitHub

If you need any help setting up yabridge or if you just want to keep up to date with new releases and important Wine related announcements, then feel free to join the Discord.

Added

• Added an environment variable for changing the directory yabridge stores its sockets and other temporary files in. This is only useful when running the Wine process under a separate namespace. If you don't know what this means, then you probably don't need this!

Changed

• Added a workaround for a new bug in Wine 6.20 that would cause compilation to fail by redefining common variable names used in the standard library. This issue has since been fixed in Wine 6.21 and up.

Fixed

• Fixed the VST3 version of IK Multimedia's T-RackS 5 causing offline rendering to stall indefinitely. This could happen when exporting or bouncing audio in Bitwig Studio 4.1, Ardour and in REAPER. Those plugins deadlock when they receives timer events while doing offline audio processing, so we now prevent that from happening.
• The socket endpoints used by plugin group host processes to accept new connections now get removed when those processes shut down. Previously this would leave behind a file in the temporary directory.

Packaging notes

• All Meson wraps now use wrap-git instead of downloading tarballs from GitHub. Previously the bitsery and function2 wraps would use source tarballs.
• The meson.build patch overlays for the bitsery and function2 wraps are no longer stored in tarballs committed to yabridge's repository. Instead, they are now regular directories in the subprojects/packagefiles directory. This means that building yabridge with these wraps now requires Meson 0.55 or later because of the use of patch_directory.
• The bitsery wrap dependency was updated to version 5.2.2.
• The function2 wrap dependency was updated to version 4.2.0.
• The tomlplusplus wrap dependency was updated to slightly after version 2.5.0 because of an issue with their meson.build file that breaks compatibility with Meson 0.60.0 on older versions.

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, AV Linux MXE 2021, or any other distro that's older than Ubuntu 20.04, then you should use this archive instead of the regular release. If you need a build of yabridge for use with 32-bit plugin hosts, then you can find those on the automated builds page.

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. As of yabridge 3.0.0 yabridgectl is now included in the regular release archives for your convenience.
