A brief overview of changes:

  • Preview Linux support.
  • Licensing has changed. Please read the new VST 3 License.
  • Use cmake as project generator.
  • This is the last version of the SDK supporting C++98, future versions will used C++11.
  • The VST 3 part of this SDK is now available on GitHub at https://github.com/steinbergmedia/vst3sdk
  • Samples:
    • New VST 3 Host implementation example:
      • New HostEditor application: Cross-platform (Win/macOS/Linux) standalone which opens the UI of a VST3 Plug-in.

Was GPL 3 a thing before this license change?

Beforehand there was just a "Proprietary Steinberg VST3 License".

Interesting, that shows how Steinberg wants VST to be the standard everywhere. I stll don't understand why AVID doesn't start supporting VSTs natively.
