<p><b>Rubber Band Audio v3.0.3 now available</b></p>
<p>Version 3.0.3 of <a href="https://rubberbandaudio.com/">Rubber Band Audio</a>,
our application for interactive pitch and tempo modification of audio
with batch processing support and tempo detection, is now available.</p>
<p>The 3.0.3 release is a minor enhancement update. This release improves
the quality and mono-compatibility of the centre-focus mode in the R3
engine; now remembers the most recently-used quality settings and
whether the extra options pane was visible, and restores them on
startup; and correctly handles the appearance and disappearance of
audio devices on macOS, including switching to headphones properly
when connected.</p>
<p>We hope you enjoy these improvements!</p>

<h4>28th July, 2023</h4>
<p><b>Rubber Band Library version 3.3.0 released</b></p>
<p>Version 3.3.0 of <a href="http://breakfastquay.com/rubberband">Rubber Band Library</a> is now available.</p>
<p>Rubber Band Library is an audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting
library and utility designed for musical applications. It allows you
to change the tempo and pitch of an audio recording independently of
one another.</p>
<p>Version 3.3.0 is a maintenance release which improves the behaviour of
the library in cases such as with larger than expected process
buffers. It also adds a function that may be used to query the maximum
supported internal buffer size. These changes make no difference to
any code that is using the library successfully already, but should
make it more resilient in atypical situations.</p>
<p>The API has one new function but is otherwise unchanged. The library
continues to be binary compatible with the 2.x and 1.x releases for
existing applications. Code written to use earlier versions of the
library can link and run against this version without alteration.</p>

<h4>6th April, 2023</h4>
<p><b>Rubber Band Library version 3.2.1 released</b></p>
<p>Version 3.2.1 of <a href="http://breakfastquay.com/rubberband">Rubber Band Library</a> is now available.</p>
<p>Rubber Band Library is an audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting
library and utility designed for musical applications. It allows you
to change the tempo and pitch of an audio recording independently of
one another.</p>
<p>Version 3.2.1 is a minor release fixing a few issues found in the
recent version 3.2.0 when building using configurations other than the
defaults. (Version 3.2.0 was a significant feature release, which
updated the "centre-focus" mode for the R3 engine so as to retain mono
compatibility in the resulting stereo output and to produce more
coherent imaging in many situations.)</p>
<p>The API is unchanged and the library continues to be binary compatible
with the 2.x and 1.x releases for existing applications. Code written
to use earlier versions of the library can link and run against this
version without alteration.</p>
http://breakfastquay.com/news/20230328Rubber Band Library versions 3.2.0 and 3.1.3 released2023-03-28T09:00:00Z2023-03-28T09:00:00Z
<h4>28th March, 2023</h4>
<p><b>Rubber Band Library versions 3.2.0 and 3.1.3 released</b></p>
<p>Two new releases of <a href="http://breakfastquay.com/rubberband">Rubber Band Library</a> are now
available.</p>
<p>Rubber Band Library is an audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting
library and utility designed for musical applications. It allows you
to change the tempo and pitch of an audio recording independently of
one another.</p>
<p>Version 3.2.0 contains significant improvements to output quality for
certain processing modes. Most notably, it updates the "centre-focus"
mode for the R3 engine (`OptionChannelsTogether`) so as to retain mono
compatibility in the resulting stereo output and to produce more
coherent imaging in many situations. There are also small fixes to
latency calculation in some modes. Version 3.2.0 may be downloaded
from the <a href="/rubberband">main Rubber Band Library page</a>.</p>
<p>Meanwhile version 3.1.3 is a pure bugfix release whose output is
otherwise unchanged from 3.1.2. It is a recommended update for
applications where changes to audio output are undesirable, or at
least without substantial review. Version 3.1.3 may be downloaded from
the <a href="/files/releases">download index page</a>.</p>
<p>(Note that 3.2.0 does also include the fixes found in 3.1.3.)</p>
<p>The API is unchanged and the library continues to be binary compatible
with the 2.x and 1.x releases for existing applications. Code written
to use earlier versions of the library can link and run against either
of these versions without alteration.</p>

<h4>2nd December, 2022</h4>
<p><b>Rubber Band Library version 3.1.2 released</b></p>
<p>Version 3.1.2 of <a href="http://breakfastquay.com/rubberband">Rubber Band Library</a> is now available.</p>
<p>Rubber Band Library is an audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting
library and utility designed for musical applications. It allows you
to change the tempo and pitch of an audio recording independently of
one another.</p>
<p>Version 3.1.2 is a minor release containing build fixes for some
platforms, but no significant code changes.</p>
<p>The API is of course unchanged and the library continues to be binary
compatible with the 2.x and 1.x releases for existing
applications. Code written to use earlier versions of the library can
link and run against this version without alteration.</p>

<h4>21st October, 2022</h4>
<p><b>Rubber Band Library version 3.1.1 released</b></p>
<p>Version 3.1.1 of <a href="http://breakfastquay.com/rubberband">Rubber Band Library</a> is now available.</p>
<p>Rubber Band Library is an audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting
library and utility designed for musical applications. It allows you
to change the tempo and pitch of an audio recording independently of
one another.</p>
<p>Version 3.1.1 is a very minor release containing no code changes, only
a fix to the build system. The fix addresses problems building using
Meson on certain systems without a Java compiler installed. (Which
should not have been a concern, since Rubber Band does not need Java!
But it does have an optional JNI interface, and the auto-detection of
whether to build that was failing sometimes.)</p>
<p>The API is of course unchanged and the library continues to be binary
compatible with the 2.x and 1.x releases for existing
applications. Code written to use earlier versions of the library can
link and run against this version without alteration.</p>

<h4>30 September, 2022</h4>
<p><b>Rubber Band Library version 3.1.0 released with speed and code-quality enhancements</b></p>
<p>Version 3.1.0 of <a href="http://breakfastquay.com/rubberband">Rubber Band Library</a> is now available.</p>
<p>Rubber Band Library is an audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting
library and utility designed for musical applications. It allows you
to change the tempo and pitch of an audio recording independently of
one another.</p>
<p>Following <a href="/news/20220707.html">the release of version 3.0.0</a> which
added the entirely new higher-quality R3 processing engine as an
alternative to the traditional Rubber Band R2 engine, this release now
provides a faster, more energy-efficient "draft" mode for the new
engine. This can be enabled using the `OptionWindowShort` option on
construction (an existing option that was previously only supported in
the older R2 engine).</p>
<p>This release also includes a number of other enhancements, including
support for the external `speexdsp` and `sleefdft` libraries and many
code-quality improvements. See the CHANGELOG for more details.</p>
<p>For more extensive discussion of the changes in this release, please

<h4>12th September, 2022</h4>
<p><b>Rubber Band Audio v3.0.1 now available</b></p>
<p>We've just released a minor update to
<a href="https://rubberbandaudio.com/">Rubber Band Audio</a>, our application
for interactive pitch and tempo modification of audio with batch
processing support and tempo detection.</p>
<p>This is a performance and bugfix release, fixing a handful of issues
discovered in the major 3.0.0 release that preceded it. For more
information about recent major changes, please see
<a href="http://breakfastquay.com/news/20220731.html">the release announcement for v3.0.0</a>.</p>

<h4>31st July, 2022</h4>
<p><b>Rubber Band Audio v3.0.0 now available</b></p>
<p>Version 3.0.0 of <a href="https://rubberbandaudio.com/">Rubber Band Audio</a>,
our application for interactive pitch and tempo modification of audio
with batch processing support and tempo detection, is now available.</p>
<p>The main change is to introduce the new processing engine from
<a href="https://breakfastquay.com/rubberband/">Rubber Band Library</a> v3. This
is a hugely improved engine which produces even higher quality output
with almost all types of music.</p>
<p>The new engine is the default in this release, but you can also switch
back to the old one by switching from "Finer" to "Faster" in the
options pane. (The old engine is "Faster" because it uses less
processing power and so can save and export more quickly -- the
name has nothing to do with the speed of the music!)</p>
<p>This release also features a new playback volume level display and
control, improved interaction for the Speed and Pitch dials, and a
more beautiful Night colour theme.</p>
http://breakfastquay.com/news/20220707Rubber Band Library version 3.0.0 released with new processing engine2022-07-07T09:00:00Z2022-07-07T09:00:00Z
<h4>7th July, 2022</h4>
<p><b>Rubber Band Library version 3.0.0 released with new processing engine</b></p>
<p>Version 3.0.0 of <a href="http://breakfastquay.com/rubberband">Rubber Band Library</a> is now available.</p>
<p>Rubber Band Library is an audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting
library and utility designed for musical applications. It allows you
to change the tempo and pitch of an audio recording independently of
one another.</p>
<p>This is an exciting major release which, among other things,
introduces an entirely new processing engine known as the R3 or Finer
engine. This typically produces substantially higher-quality output
than the existing engine (now referred to as R2 or Faster), although
at higher CPU cost. The more energy-efficient R2 is still the default,
and R3 can be selected using the new `OptionEngineFiner` option on
construction.</p>
<p>We're immensely proud of the work we have done for this release, and
we hope it will delight you and all the users of your software.</p>
<p>Although we have added to the API in this release, the library
continues to be both binary and API compatible with the 2.x and 1.x
releases for existing applications. Code written to use earlier
versions of the library can link and run against this version without
alteration.</p>
<p>Existing commercial licences remain valid for v3.0.0.</p>
<p>Happy stretching!</p>
http://breakfastquay.com/news/20220126Rubber Band Library version 2.0.2 released2022-01-26T09:00:00Z2022-01-26T09:00:00Z
<h4>26th January, 2022</h4>
<p><b>Rubber Band Library version 2.0.2 released</b></p>
<p>Version 2.0.2 of <a href="http://breakfastquay.com/rubberband">Rubber Band Library</a> is now
available.</p>
<p>Rubber Band Library is an audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting
library and utility designed for musical applications. It allows you
to change the tempo and pitch of an audio recording independently of
one another.</p>
<p>This release fixes a crash when pitch-shifting with a certain
combination of options (always involving `OptionChannelsTogether`) and
long processing buffers. We have added an exhaustive test of all
option combinations to ensure this type of bug does not reappear. This
release also fixes a failure to build on very old versions of macOS
when using much newer compilers than the platform-supplied ones.</p>
<p>The Rubber Band Library API is unchanged and the library is still
binary compatible with versions 1.7, 1.8.x, 1.9.x and 2.0.x.</p>
http://breakfastquay.com/news/20220120Rubber Band Library version 2.0.1 released2022-01-20T09:00:00Z2022-01-20T09:00:00Z
<h4>20 January, 2022</h4>
<p><b>Rubber Band Library version 2.0.1 released</b></p>
<p>Version 2.0.1 of <a href="http://breakfastquay.com/rubberband">Rubber Band Library</a> is now
available.</p>
<p>Rubber Band Library is an audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting
library and utility designed for musical applications. It allows you
to change the tempo and pitch of an audio recording independently of
one another.</p>
<p>This release adds an example LV2 plugin, fixes a failure of the LADSPA
plugin to work fully under in-place use, and includes a number of
fixes to the build system. The built-in resampler introduced in v2.0.0
is now the default for all builds, although external resampler
libraries are still supported and available as build options.</p>
<p>The Rubber Band Library API is unchanged and the library is still
binary compatible with versions 1.7, 1.8.x, and 1.9.x as well as
2.0.0. This marks just over ten years of fully API and ABI compatible
releases, despite considerable internal improvements during the same
period.</p>
http://breakfastquay.com/news/20211022Rubber Band Library version 2.0.0 released2021-10-22T09:00:00Z2021-10-22T09:00:00Z
<h4>22nd October, 2021</h4>
<p><b>Rubber Band Library version 2.0.0 released</b></p>
<p>Version 2.0.0 of <a href="http://breakfastquay.com/rubberband">Rubber Band Library</a> is now
available.</p>
<p>Rubber Band Library is an audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting
library and utility designed for musical applications. It allows you
to change the tempo and pitch of an audio recording independently of
one another.</p>
<p>* Easier integration</p>
<p>This release is designed to be easier than ever to integrate into a
project. It introduces a single-compilation-unit build mode that can
be added to a C++ project build without any additional dependencies.</p>
<p>In support of this, Rubber Band Library now has a built-in resampler
(as an alternative to the external options that were already
supported) which, in tandem with the built-in FFT introduced in
version 1.9.2, allows the library to be built with no external library
dependencies other than the C++ standard library.</p>
<p>* Stricter real-time timing precision</p>
<p>This release also introduces improved timing calculation logic when
running in real-time mode, for more stable timing when the pitch shift
is changing dynamically. The new resampler is also designed to
minimise audible artifacts when changing pitch, giving better results
all round when used with frequent dynamic adjustments.</p>
<p>* Still backward-compatible</p>
<p>The Rubber Band Library API is unchanged and the library is still
binary compatible with versions 1.7, 1.8.x, and 1.9.x.</p>
<p>We incremented the major version number to 2, not because of any API
change, but because our timing precision work has changed the audio
output for some applications of real-time mode. While the library is
code-compatible with earlier releases, it is not "output-compatible",
and may change automation-driven mixes even when used with identical
options. If you are already using an earlier release in real-time
mode, please test v2.0.0 carefully before updating.</p>
<p>Existing commercial licences remain valid for v2.0.0.</p>
<p>Happy stretching!</p>
http://breakfastquay.com/news/20210823Rubber Band Audio bumped to v2.0.1.1 for Linux2021-08-23T09:00:00Z2021-08-23T09:00:00Z
<h4>23rd August, 2021</h4>
<p><b>Rubber Band Audio bumped to v2.0.1.1 for Linux</b></p>
<p>We've just updated the builds for
<a href="http://rubberbandaudio.com/">Rubber Band Audio</a> for Linux so as to
fix an incompatibility with desktops running GNOME 40. Existing
customers should have been notified of the update. The application
itself is unchanged, and there is no change to the builds for other
platforms.</p>
http://breakfastquay.com/news/20210607Rubber Band Library version 1.9.2 released2021-06-07T09:00:00Z2021-06-07T09:00:00Z
<h4>7th June, 2021</h4>
<p><b>Rubber Band Library version 1.9.2 released</b></p>
<p>Version 1.9.2 of the <a href="http://breakfastquay.com/rubberband">Rubber Band Library</a> is now
available.</p>
<p>Rubber Band Library is an audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting
library and utility designed for musical applications. It allows you
to change the tempo and pitch of an audio recording independently of
one another.</p>
<p>Version 1.9.2 is a maintenance release. The main change is the
addition of a built-in double-precision FFT of efficiency similar to
KissFFT, which can be used when there is no pressing reason to prefer
an external library. This is the default option on non-Apple platforms
(on which vDSP remains the default), simplifying configuration,
although FFTW and IPP are still supported where available. This
release also includes a few configuration tweaks and fixes a possible
memory error. See the CHANGELOG file for more details.</p>
<p>The library is binary compatible with versions 1.7, 1.8.x, and 1.9.</p>
http://breakfastquay.com/news/20210312Rubber Band Library version 1.9.1 released2021-03-12T09:00:00Z2021-03-12T09:00:00Z
<h4>12th March, 2021</h4>
<p><b>Rubber Band Library version 1.9.1 released</b></p>
<p>Version 1.9.1 of the <a href="http://breakfastquay.com/rubberband">Rubber Band Library</a> is now
available.</p>
<p>Rubber Band Library is an audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting
library and utility designed for musical applications. It allows you
to change the tempo and pitch of an audio recording independently of
one another.</p>
<p>Version 1.9.1 is a maintenance release, including a fix that removes
some audible artifacts when changing pitch dynamically. This release
also changes the default build system from autoconf to Meson, and,
although all previous releases in fact work fine on Apple Silicon
(ARM) Macs, this is the first one that officially supports that
platform as a tested configuration.</p>
<p>The library is binary compatible with versions 1.7, 1.8.x, and 1.9.</p>

<h4>11th January, 2021</h4>
<p><b>Rubber Band Audio v2.0.1 now available!</b></p>
<p>We've just released a minor update to
<a href="http://rubberbandaudio.com/">Rubber Band Audio</a>, our friendly and
useful little program for messing with the tempo and pitch of audio
recordings.</p>
<p>This v2.0.1 release contains two changes: it fixes an incompatibility
with certain audio file metadata (affecting macOS and Linux builds),
and it improves compatibility with audio playback devices (affecting
the Linux build).</p>
<p>Neither fix is relevant to users on Windows. We've nudged the version
number of the current Windows release to 2.0.1 as well, for
consistency, but there's no real need to update if you're using
Windows.</p>

<h4>17th December, 2020</h4>
<p><b>Rubber Band Audio v2.0.0 now available!</b></p>
<p>It is with some joy that we announce version 2.0.0 of
<a href="http://rubberbandaudio.com/">Rubber Band Audio</a>, our friendly and
useful little program for messing with the tempo and pitch of audio
recordings.</p>
<p>This is a bug-fix, quality, and polish release. It includes an overall
update to the user interface to make it work and look better on
current operating systems, such as on Windows with high-DPI displays,
and on recent versions of macOS with Dark Mode and redesigned icon
shapes. It also includes native support for ARM architecture Macs
("Apple Silicon").</p>
<p>This release also adds an option to select which audio device is used
for playback, adds support for the Opus file format, fixes some
problems playing back audio with certain channel counts or sample
rates, and fixes occasional audible artifacts when changing the pitch
during playback.</p>
<p>Finally, for the first time we're making this release available for
Linux as well as Windows and Mac. Linux has actually always been the
primary internal development platform for our software, but shipping a
commercial application on Linux is an experiment for us - do tell us
if you think it's a great idea or a dreadful heresy, although we might
be able to tell by just seeing whether anyone buys it.</p>

<h4>19th November, 2020</h4>
<p><b>We're VAT-registered again</b></p>
<p>At the start of last year we de-registered from UK VAT (value-added
tax or sales tax) filing, because we were trading below the
registration threshold - see our news item from February 2019. But for
various reasons we have now registered again, and from now on will be
charging VAT as appropriate once more.</p>

<a href="https://bitbucket.org/blog/sunsetting-mercurial-support-in-bitbucket">switched off support</a> for Mercurial - and on the 26th of August
all of our former repos, along with their issue trackers and
everything else hosted at Bitbucket, disappeared. We actually moved our primary repos to SourceHut some months ago, but users might not have noticed until now!</p>
<p>(The announcement from Bitbucket said that "repos, wikis, and

they were deleted too. We are intending to review old tracker entries
and re-enter them where they are still relevant.)</p>
<p>We do apologise for the inconvenience caused by this.</p>
<p>We also maintain official mirrors

http://breakfastquay.com/news/20190220Changes to our VAT status2019-02-20T09:00:00Z2019-02-20T09:00:00Z
<h4>20 February, 2019</h4>
<p><b>Changes to our VAT status</b></p>
<p>Breakfast Quay is a very small operation: it is the trading name used
for audio and metadata software by a two-person company, Particular
Programs Ltd, with zero full-time employees. Our turnover is tiny and
we're content with that.</p>
<p>In the UK, companies with turnovers below a certain threshold are not
required to register for or charge VAT (value-added tax or sales
tax). For the first few years of our existence, up to the end of 2014,
we were able to take advantage of that threshold to simplify our
charging and tax. In January 2015 this changed, with the introduction
of what is known as the <a href="http://breakfastquay.com/news/20141222.html">VAT MOSS</a> system for
charging VAT on digital services across the EU. This system had no
lower threshold, so we had to register for it, and therefore also for
UK VAT.</p>
<p>However, as of January 2019, the VAT MOSS system
<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vat-changes-to-the-supply-of-digital-services-2019/vat-changes-to-the-supply-of-digital-services-2019">has
been changed</a> to introduce a low threshold below which a company may
choose to report and pay VAT within their own country even on overseas

<p><b>Rubber Band Audio v1.9.0 now available!</b></p>
<p>Breakfast Quay announce Version 1.9.0 of
<a href="http://rubberbandaudio.com/">Rubber Band Audio</a>, a
straightforward, friendly, and useful program for messing with the
tempo and pitch of audio recordings for musical purposes.</p>
<p>This version supports selecting a range from a track, in order to
audition, loop, or export a section of your music. It also adds
keyboard shortcuts (the cursor keys) for speed and pitch, and complete
hi-resolution rendering on Retina or hi-DPI displays. File export is
sometimes faster than before and some bugs have been fixed.</p>
<p>This release also officially changes the name of the application from
"Rubber Band Audio Processor" to "Rubber Band Audio". Not only is this
shorter, it was also the name already used to identify the app in the
Mac App Store and website URL even though the longer name appeared
throughout the user interface.</p>
<p>Rubber Band Audio is available for
Mac OS/X and Windows, both through <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rubber-band-audio/id418715427">the Mac App Store</a> and <a href="http://rubberbandaudio.com">direct from us at Breakfast Quay</a>.</p>
http://breakfastquay.com/news/20141222Changes to pricing and VAT in January 20152014-12-22T09:00:00Z2014-12-22T09:00:00Z
<h4>22nd December, 2014</h4>
<p><b>Changes to pricing and VAT in January 2015</b></p>
<p>Breakfast Quay is a very small operation: it is the trading name used
for audio and metadata software by a two-person company, Particular
Programs Ltd, with zero full-time employees. We have pootled along for
some years providing a few bits of useful software to a small but
happy array of customers. Our turnover is tiny and we're content with
it that way.</p>
<p>This means that, until the present day, we have been able to operate
without needing to be registered to collect VAT (sales tax). The UK
has a fairly generous limit below which a company does not need to
register for VAT, and we have never been anywhere near it.</p>
<p>That's about to change. From January 2015, a
<a href="http://thebreakfastpost.com/2014/11/19/small-software-businesses-and-the-2015-vat-regulations/">new
European Union VAT structure for digital products</a> means that we will
need to register for VAT, and collect this tax on all our sales to
eligible territories. (The alternative is to block sales to other
countries within the EU, which we don't want to do.)</p>
<p>The effect of this is that, from 1 January 2015, our prices will be
changing to take into account VAT. The amount of the increase depends
on where you, our customer, are based: if you are in the UK, it will
be 20% because that is the UK VAT rate; elsewhere in the EU, it will
be the rate levelled by your own country; outside the EU we usually
will not have to add VAT at all.</p>
<p>So, if you are outside the EU, this probably won't change anything.</p>
<p>If you are a VAT-registered business within the EU, this will probably
be a welcome change: previously we were unable to provide you with a
VAT number, which some countries consider to be suspicious behaviour
for B2B transactions; now we will be able to, and you can reclaim the
tax, so the price to you will ultimately remain the same.</p>
<p>But if you are an individual or a non-VAT-registered microbusiness
within the EU, then I'm afraid this change means our prices to you go
up. Sorry! We don't get to keep the extra, it goes straight to the
government of whichever country you reside in.</p>
<p>(Note: this article has been edited since posting, to reflect the true situation for customers outside the EU)</p>

<p>Version 0.8 of <a href="http://breakfastquay.com/dataquay">Dataquay</a> is now available, with the
significant version number bump (over the previous 0.3 release)
indicating a big step towards an API-stable 1.0 release.</p>
<p>Dataquay is a library that provides a simple, friendly C++ API for the

<h4>21st March, 2011</h4>
<p><b>Rubber Band Library version 1.6.0 released</b></p>
<p>Version 1.6.0 of the <a href="http://breakfastquay.com/rubberband">Rubber Band Library</a> is now available.</p>
<p>Rubber Band is an audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting library and
utility designed for musical applications. It allows you to change the
tempo and pitch of an audio recording independently of one another.</p>
<p>This release adds a time-domain smoothing option to the library
interface. This uses a window-presum FFT, introducing aliasing which
is then smoothed using a sinc window. This can be used in combination
with any of the existing processing control options. It will
introduce audible time-domain artifacts for percussive transients, but
the result may be successful for certain material that is not very
amenable to stretching.</p>
<p>This release also fixes a silent-output bug for one channel when
processing with the band-limited transients option, and adds support
for the libresample library.</p>
<p>The library is binary compatible with version 1.5 for forward
compatibility (values have been added to an existing enum). Code
written to use 1.6 is not necessarily compatible with 1.5.</p>

<p>Dataquay is a library that provides a simple, friendly C++ API for the
popular Redland RDF data store using Qt classes and containers.</p>
<p>This exciting release introduces a complete object mapper capable of
saving QObject hierarchies to the RDF data store and synchronising
changes in both directions afterwards. There are other major changes
here, including some very significant performance enhancements.</p>
<p>This version is not API compatible with the previous release -- most
of the API is the same, but URI handling and the Transaction interface
in particular have changed. However, the API is beginning to
stabilise as we head toward 1.0.</p>

<p>This release adds a key-frame mapping facility, for managing variable
stretch ratios within a single offline time-stretch pass. It also
includes a more reliable transient detection mode for soft instruments
and band-limits the transient detectors to improve performance with
compressed or lower-quality material.</p>
<p>The library is binary compatible with version 1.4 for forward
compatibility. Code written to use 1.5.0 is not necessarily
compatible with 1.4, as one new function and one enum have been added.</p>

<h4>13th December, 2007</h4>
<p><b>Rubber Band version 1.0.1 released</b></p>
<p>Version 1.0.1 of <a href="http://breakfastquay.com/rubberband/">Rubber Band</a> is now available.</p>

<h4>11th December, 2007</h4>
<p><b>dssi-vst version 0.5 released</b></p>
<p>Version 0.5 of <a href="http://breakfastquay.com/dssi-vst/">dssi-vst</a> is now available.</p>
<p>This release comes with Javier Serrano Polo's VST-compatibility
header, as previously distributed in LMMS. (Actually, this header was
already compatible with dssi-vst -- no modifications to dssi-vst were
necessary -- it's just that the header is now included in the
package.) This permits it to be compiled without the official VST SDK
and distributed under pure GPL. No guarantees are made as to the
reliability of the results; your feedback is welcome, but please bear
in mind that I will not do any development work on the compatibility
header myself for legal reasons.</p>
<p>The 0.5 release is also (finally) compatible with version 2.4r2 of the
official SDK, should you wish to use it.</p>
