I would guess it could break others too, then ?....i have no info on that.
better be cautious, no ?

Today is April 1st. Coincidence??

Looks like they use the D programming language and didn't bother to check out the 15.4 beta. Bad combinations.

Bad things happen on March 31th.

I'm on 15.4, can confirm that Auburn Sounds plugins crash instantly.
but out of 504 plugins, Auburn Sounds are the only ones affected that i've come across, and i have some oooold plugins.

I'm gonna move them all to a temp folder for now so i'm not crashing Cubase projects.
they know what's wrong though, what needs to be done, so they won't be too long surely.

hope to have something before 31th May 2025.

(From their homepage regarding the issue with their plugin and the upcoming fix)
Doesn't sound like it's taking them days but at least they're working on it.

Well, they say they want to take 1-2 months to rewrite a smaller, entirely new runtime library for D. That sounds like a serious undertaking.

I don't know whether the D compiler they use is open source, but it seems that debugging the problem with the current runtime might be more promising. What are you gonna do with that new minimal D runtime? Presumably it won't be very useful for the D community. Wasted effort?

In any case I wouldn't bank on the 2 months deadline to implement a new runtime, small or not.

Quick fix is available since a few days: https://www.auburnsounds.com/faq/About- ... ugins.html
