[PD] [PD-announce] [vstplugin~] v0.2.0 final release

Hi, I'm happy to share the final release of [vstplugin~] v0.2.0. Binaries are available on Deken. The source code is here: https://git.iem.at/pd/vstplugin/-/releases

Note that you can also load LV2 plugins with lv2vst: https://github.com/x42/lv2vst. I've tested this on Debian and generally it seems to work fine.

Have fun!

Changelog:

new features:

• VST2 shell plugin support (e.g. "Waves", "Blue Ripple Sound")
• (experimental) VST3 support including sample accurate automation and auxiliary inputs/outputs for side-chaining
• soft-bypass
• faster search/probe (parallel)
• cache search/probe results in a file to speed up subsequent searches
• [param_set( and [param_get( now also accept parameter names instead of indices (whitespace is bashed to underscores).
• set editor window position with [pos( message.

changes:

• switched whole project to CMake
• removed 'vstsearch' object because of the new cache file system.
• removed [precision( message (the processing precision can only be set at creation time).

internal changes:

• use .ini like syntax for plugin info
• hard-bypass prefers the plugin's bypass method
• single event loop shared by all plugins
• probably many more...
