Hermann Seib updates VSTHost to v1.44 and SAVIHost to v1.31

19th July 2007

Hermann Seib has updated VSTHost to v1.44 and SAVIHost to v1.31.

Changes in VSTHost:

.ini-file handling was broken in Windows 98; corrected.
Multiprocessor support contained a bug in MIDI handling; corrected.
Expanded configuration capabilities (see effCanDos.ini and hostCanDos.ini in the Data subdirectory).
VSTHost can load "satellite resource DLLs" now; if a DLL for the local language is available, VSTHost uses it (currently, only a German variant is provided - if somebody wants to help in translating it into another language, just contact Hermann). This can be suppressed with the new /nolocal command line option.
VSTHost can be skinned now; if you don't like the default layout, you can roll your own now. Loading of skins can be suppressed with the new /noskin command line option.
Links between PlugIns can be created/modified/deleted with the mouse on the main window now.
The main window is scrollable now to allow setups that are larger than the screen.
PlugIns that can process double precision audio streams can be tested now.
Finally, for people who don't want to read the manual, VSTHost defaults to a running audio engine now, so no more "Why is there no sound in VSTHost?" questions...

Changes in SAVIHost:

Improved exception handling (a classic "Who cares?" under normal conditions).
"Autosave Bank" built in; SAVIHost can save the current bank to PlugInName.savihost.fxb in the PlugIn's directory now, if it has write permission there.

Changes in both programs
