Please do not post these updates to news sites if they are newer than what is published on the main site
You should always download, install and register the standalone version first prior to attempt to
use the plug-in versions
The plug-in versions of Bidule will only work for registered users.

Version 0.9786 (February 6th, 2024)
---------------------------------------------------
- UI : a mouse click could possibly end up not being handled
- UI : adding/renaming a preset sometimes does not update the menu contents
- AU version : in Logic on Apple Silicon, fixed possible crash if popping a dialog window and a control in it has focus
- AU version : added a preference named Plugin.UI.UseWindowModal (integer 1 to enable (0 to disable), this is off by default) to use window modal (only in Logic on Apple Silicon) on these so they can have focus
- CLAP hosting : fixed some plugins may not recall their state
- CLAP hosting : force sending CLAP_NOTE_DIALECT_MIDI even if the plugin prefers CLAP_NOTE_DIALECT_CLAP because there is no note_id in Bidule and this might cause problems
- VST3 version : now always zero-out the output buffers from the host before doing anything since some hosts do not send zeroed-out buffers

VST 2.4 and VST 3 64-bit audio processing version (version 0.9785, November 13th)
Version 0.9785 (November 13th, 2023)
---------------------------------------------------
- VST3 version: fixed incoming MIDI from the host possibly being sent to all 4 ports
- VST2 version: removed Studio One-specific sidechain feature for 32 and 64 outputs versions in order to prevent Studio One crashing when using the 32 or 64 outputs version in a Dolby Atmos strip because Studio One would set Bidule to have a sidechain of the selected i/o configuration without supplying enough data pointers to read/write all the channels
Version 0.9785 (September 28th, 2023)
---------------------------------------------------
- macOS : fixed possible patchbay flashing when using the mouse in the palette or using the application menus on Sonoma

---------------------------------------------------
- VST3 version : can end up not loading its saved data
Version 0.9785 (September 5th, 2023)
---------------------------------------------------
- VST3 version : added VST2 compatibility listing and implementation
- VST3 hosting : when scanning updated/new plugins, VST2 compatibility is queried and stored, if a layout refers to a VST2 that can't be found but a VST3 has declared compatibility, that VST3 will be used and will receive the VST2 saved data
- Fixed VST3 and CLAP hosted plugins not loading back parameter settings overrides for user min/max/locked for random/mutation factor
- Fixed monitoring sometimes skipping a draw with updated values
- Fixed Discrete Monitor showing more empty lines than it should
- macOS : fixed Frequency/Magnitude/Discrete/MIDI Value Display not always displaying the updated name if there is no mouse moving/clicking
- macOS : fixed dragging from palette could possibly end up not adding
- macOS Silicon : fixed possible crash when using Unit Converter set to dB to linear or linear to dB
- Windows : fixed palette filter textfield "eating" some keys
- Windows P64 VST2 version : fixed possible "noise" output in Cubendo after receiving output buffers from the host that are filled with junk values rather than being zeroed out
- MIDI Splitter : Split by note wasn't processing all notes off/all sounds off
- Note Creator 2 (discrete) : now using its own implementation of merging discrete events and keeping last events as the general one was preventing the create of notes depending on incoming discrete events order/position
- MIDI Input Selector/MIDI Output Selector/Note Splitter/NRPN To Params were showing a window when they should not

and/or intermittently cutting signal
Version 0.9784 (May 1st, 2023)
---------------------------------------------------
- Fixed removed AudioToolbox.framework function replacement causing devices expecting x AudioBufferLists of y channels
instead of a single AudioBufferList of x*y channels to output silence.
Version 0.9784 (April 6th, 2023)
---------------------------------------------------
- Palette: now embedded inside the patchbay and no longer using the native tree control, click on the 8-10pixels on the right side of the scrollbar to have it behave like a drawer and open/close without using the Palette button on top, drag from lower-right corner to resize, click and type into Filter to only show bidules/plugins containing those characters, erase the text completely to go back to all available
- Palette and contextual menu: using same data source to build themselves, default ins defaults outs always showing up first if present
- Added Reset all window sizes entry under the Tools menu
- Added Controls Appearance preference entry
- Added discrete OSC creators/extractors with 16 and 32 channels
- Better calculation for the maximum available height for UIs embedded in a scrolling window
- OSC Monitor: added a clear button to each of the three types
- OSC Monitor: added attempt at dynamic scrolling area size from size of contents
- Patchbay: using current mouse position like the menu entry does when using the paste keyboard shortcut
- Text Areas: added copy to clipboard button to monitoring/read-only cases
- Windows: new UIs showing at high DPI scaling (when applicable)
- VST3 version: now receiving MIDI program change events from host
- VST3 version: fixed non-stereo I/O config not loading back correctly on Plugin Device in Cubase and Nuendo if the project sample rate is different than what is defined as the default one
- VST3 version: fixed using overriden bus and/or I/O count and depending on the host and its sequence of call when loading a project (because it's at a different sample rate than the "default" or some other thing) the shown I/Os on the plugin device might be wrong and cause problems
- CLAP hosting: fixed order of events sent to plugin can be wrong when there's a mix of MIDI events and CLAP note events
- VST3 hosting: added workaround for some plugins returning not supported on an supported input or output speaker arrangement because the other side is really unsupported
- VST3 scanning: added a delay into the terminate/release sequence to prevent one specific plug-in from causing a crash
- MIDI file recorder, buffers, audio file recorder and audio stats: fixed UIs possibly end up truncating a "dynamic" string display
- Text Areas: removed editing for monitoring/read-only cases
- Text Areas: now disabling automatic word wrapping except when it is useful
- macOS: fixed Key Stroke not picking up key up/down events
- macOS Ventura: fixed some specific combinations of the possible internal buffer size of some audio devices, Bidule's buffer size and using the inputs of those devices might end up causing a crash because of an AudioToolbox.framework function that has been completely removed in a Ventura update
- Windows: fixed possible crash when closing a window where a text box/area is currently being edited
