  • Various VST3 improvements: resizing VST3 windows, plug-in compatibility issues
  • Use NSURLSession on newer OS X versions
  • Add compatibility for VST 3 SDK update 3.6.6
  • Miscellaneous fixes and improvements

Version 4.2.1

  • New class CachedValue, for providing easy and efficient access to ValueTree properties
  • Reduced audio plug-in binary sizes on OS X and added symbol-stripping option
  • Miscellaneous fixes and improvements

Version 4.2

  • Added support for AudioUnit v3 on OS X and iOS
  • Simplified the JUCE module format. Removed the json module definition files, and made it easier to manually add modules to projects. The format is fully described in the document juce/modules/JUCE Module Format.txt
  • iOS project support: added custom resource folders, custom xcassets, app capabilities, and screen orientation settings.
  • Deleted the Introjucer.. But don't panic! All of its functionality is now supplied by a more open-source version of the Projucer. By refactoring the closed-source LLVM compilation code into a DLL, we've been able to unify the Introjucer and Projucer into a single open-source project. This will allow everyone to compile the Projucer's IDE themselves, and having just one app instead of two will make things a lot less confusing!
