Release 1.2.0 Beta 1

17 Apr 2021

General
  • NEW Sandboxing: Each AG plugin (chain) will run in a dedicated server process.
    • A  crashed remote plugin will only affect a single AG chain, rather than killing the entire server.
    • Complex sessions load much faster due to real parallel loading of remote plugins.
  • NEW Local mode: Improved UI experience when running server and DAW on the same computer. (Use this in combination with sandboxing to have multiple parallel plugin UIs!)
  • NEW Sidechain and multi-channel (16in/16out) support.
  • Improvements:
    • Plugin/Server handshake: True passive mode, all connections will be opened from the plugin to the server, which will allow a server to be behind a gateway and will simplify the network setup.
    • Added universal binaries for macOS.
Plugin
  • NEW Presets:
    • Store/Load FX chains or instruments as presets.
    • Set an FX preset as default to be auto-loaded with a new AG plugin instance.
  • NEW Tray App:
    • Consolidating FX and Instrument plugins into one monitor window.
    • Support for reconnecting all plugins in one step.
  • NEW Automation assign/unassign all  command.
  • Improvements:
    • Always open a Plugin UI.
    • Use Generic Editor automatically when a plugin has no UI.
    • Improve UI contrast for activated insert.
    • Show the server address (IP) for multiple servers with same name.
Server
  • Added close button for plugin windows.
  • Fix: Disable screen recording permission check for macOS 10.7

Release 1.1.1

12 Mar 2021

Plugin

Server
  • NEW selectable screen capturing quality settings
  • Make the splash screen fade out to make starting the server more recognisable
Plugin
  • NEW UI zoom allows for resizing the plugin UI
  • NEW Fullscreen button to capture the full remote desktop
  • Improved plugin search (search by company/category, use space to separate multiple search terms)
  • Show the buffer size (blocks) in the plugin monitor to have a better view on the progress of changing the buffering setting
  • Fixed a race condition that could crash the DAW when loading a session
  • Fixed search window positioning on secondary screens

Release 1.1 Beta 11

18 Jan 2021

General
  • NEW macOS Big Sur support for Apple Silicon (arm64) – This is experimental as I don’t have the hardware and can’t test these builds!
  • Increased backwards compatibility of the plugin to macOS 10.7
  • Reduced dynamic dependencies of the linux build (via static linking)
  • Provide binaries without macOS/Windows installers as well
  • Upgraded JUCE to 6.0.5
  • For macOS: The code signing cert has changed, so you will have to re-grant the accessibility and screen recording permission to AG server.
Server
  • Show server ID passed at the commandline in the settings
  • Added an option to enable/disable parallel loading of plugins (the default is OFF now, which slows down loading a large session by increasing stability hopefully)
  • Increased plugin ID backwards compatibility (should resolve #275)
Plugin
  • NEW Plugin search
  • NEW Channel colors (supported by VST3 only)
  • Option to disable server side channel matching of remote plugins (enable this, if the AG plugin does not show all plugins)
  • Fixed I/O performance issue (fixes #257)

  • Improved I/O layout handling
Plugin
  • NEW Plugin Monitor: Show connection states and processing latencies of plugin instances

  • Fixed bounds check in processBufferBypassed which could crash the host if called before updateLatency (should fix #229)
