[PD] [PD-announce] [vstplugin~] v0.2 test release

Hi, I'm happy to share a test release of [vstplugin~] v0.2. 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 works fine. The VST GUI doesn't work yet but I'll fix this till the final release.

Have fun!

Changelog:

new features:

• VST2 shell plugin support (e.g. "Waves")
• (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).

changes:

• switched whole project to CMake
• removed 'vstsearch' object because of the new cache file system.

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...
