AudioRoute 0.2.2 — smarter upgrade flow + robustness pass
What's new in 0.2.2:
• Smart upgrade signal — when AudioRoute updates while you've got a DAW open with the plug-in already loaded, the plug-in window now shows a banner ("AudioRoute 0.2.2 is installed — restart your DAW") and the tray names which host needs restarting. Replaces the previous post-install dialog that occasionally false-positived on Steinberg helper processes (the "Cubase running" prompt some saw on Macs without Cubase — apologies, that's fixed).
• Cubase 15 added to recognized hosts (12 and 11 too).
• Windows installer politely warns before replacing the plug-in while a DAW is open, instead of silently scheduling a reboot.
• Improved logging and diagnostics
• Defensive error handling across daemon, tray, and plug-in.
If you have a DAW open when you update, restart it once to load the new plug-in. After 0.2.2 the new version will signal that itself.

AudioRoute 0.2.3 just shipped (Mac + Windows).
What's in it:
- Fixed: garbled audio when capturing from the AudioRoute Input device while an AR Capture plug-in is loaded on a mono track. Symptoms: 2× speed-up, choppy audio, gaps in the waveform. Affected Audacity, OBS, Acoustica — anything reading the virtual device — plus the built-in menubar/tray recorder. The plug-in itself was unaffected.
- macOS 14.2+ support (was 14.5+). Sonoma 14.2 is the actual minimum the Core Audio process-tap API requires; the previous 14.5 was just over-conservative. Installer now refuses sub-14.2 cleanly so nobody ends up with a half-installed product on Ventura.
- Fixed: Windows first-launch crash. Clicking Skip or Get Started on the welcome window could trigger a use-after-free.
- Better error messages for failed recordings. When the menubar recorder can't open the WAV file (folder permissions, iCloud offload, disk full, etc.), you now get a real reason in a dialog instead of a silent failure.
