Ardour 8.12 released
Ardour 8.12 is now available.
This is a hot-fix release, intended to fix two issues.
the bug fix introduced in 8.11 turned out to be incorrect, and broke several other things in subtle ways. 8.12 is a completely new approach to fixing the problem with region lengths after certain operations could cause sessions to be unloadable.
for several previous versions, the packaging of translation files on macOS was broken. This has been corrected, and translations should work again on that platform.
Note that 8.12 will also correctly load sessions suffering from the problem referred to in #1 above.
All users of earlier 8.x versions should plan to upgrade as soon as possible. Apologies for the problems the bug in #1 has caused people - we hope this is a permanent, correct fix this time.
A new version of the audio workstation software Ardour has been released, addressing two specific issues: the rectification of erroneous bug fixes from version 8.11 and the introduction of a revised methodology for managing region lengths. It also addresses packaging issues for translation files on macOS. Individuals utilizing previous versions are encouraged to upgrade, as this represents a definitive and effective solution.
