Version 3.7.5 (2022/05/16)

  • Interface changes:

    • New moduleinfo.json file: The moduleinfo.json describes the contents of the plug-in in a JSON5 compatible format. It contains the factory info (see PFactoryInfo), the contained classes (see PClassInfo), the included snapshots and a list of compatibility of the included classes. This compatibility list allows, for example, that a VST 3 plug-in could replace a given VST 2 plug-in.
    • New interface IPluginCompatibility in pluginterfaces/base/iplugincompatibility.h to use when a moduleinfo.json file cannot be used.
