Changes:

• Fix bug where edges would not update when nodes are moved after the canvas is cleared (fix stuck connections in Patchage after refresh).
• Upgrade to waf 1.7.16

• Fix issues with lilv_plugin_get_author_name and friends (thanks Filipe Coelho)
• Fix several minor memory leaks

Changes:

• Add -lm to pkg-config libs
• Correctly handle posix_memalign failure
• Don't write xsd:decimal literals to Turtle bare if they would not be read back with the same type
• Fix const-correctness violation for reader input string

• Switch from FlowCanvas to Ganv (much improved looks and performance)
• Use Mac style key bindings on OSX
• Use XDG_CONFIG_HOME instead of ~/.patchagerc

Ganv 1.4.0 has been released. Ganv is an interactive Gtk canvas widget for graph-based interfaces (patchers, modular synthesizers, finite state automata, interactive graphs, etc). For more information, see http://drobilla.net/software/ganv.

Changes:

• Add Connection::set_curved()
• Add ability to select connections by their handles, either individually or in groups with rect select.
• Add ability to select connections directly

• Begin using library and pkg-config names suitable for parallel installation. This version of flowcanvas is flowcanvas-1 and is NOT compatible with previous versions
• Clean up API and improve documentation.
• Clean up API/ABI by hiding private implementations.
• Dramatically increase performance by rendering text manually rather than using the truly awful Gnome::Canvas::Text.
• Fix lingering handle when deleting connections
• Further slight improvements in memory consumption and alignment.
• Improve scalability to graphs with many connections (eliminate linear connection searches and redundant connection collections).
• Remove use of boost smart pointers. Adding and removing from containers (e.g. Canvas, Module) is now done automatically.

• Switch to GPLv3+
• Use system theme font size by default

Jalv 1.4.4 has been released. Jalv is a simple but fully featured LV2 host for Jack which exposes plugin ports to Jack, essentially making any LV2 plugin function as a Jack application. For more information, see http://drobilla.net/software/jalv.
