Hi all
After almost a year not having announced version 2.0 of netpd, version 2.1 is released now. netpd 2.x is complete rewrite of the netpd that you may have known from several years ago.
netpd - a Collaborative Realtime Networked Music Making Environment -------------------------------------------------------------------
netpd allows many users to have a realtime jam sessions with each other, connected over the net. Users might contribute their own netpd-ized patches a.k.a. instruments or use pre-existing ones. The set of patches, as well as the state of each is synchronized between clients in order to provide identical experience for every connected user.
netpd was designed with music in mind, but it might serve well also other purposes, where realtime state synchronization is a requirement.
release notes -------------
2.1 * Improved reliability of finding a sync peer (breaks compatibility with v2.0) * Added non-blocking until [netpd-nb-until] * Turning DSP off on dynamic creation is now a configurable option (see chat's preferences) * Prevent errors when checking for non-existing files (adds more dependencies, though) * Automatically load unpatch by cmdline option (useful for -nogui) * Turn on/off printing of all incoming and outgoing OSC message with cmdline option * Turn on/off state messages for testing and debugging with cmdline option
2.0 * Complete rewrite * Messaging layer based on OSC * Consequent use of namespaces * Improved and more reliable state synchronization * Faster patch synchronization * More intelligent dependency resolving * Multiple instances of the same instrument * Non-blocking network layer (less audio drop-outs) * Lots of bugfixes
Have fun! Roman
