Anklang version 0.2.0 is released.

Anklang is a digital audio synthesis application for live
creation and composition of music. It is released as Free
Software (MPL-2.0) and runs under Linux.

The real-time sound engine is implemented in C++, the UI runs
in Electronjs, Firefox or Chrome. Assistance with development,
porting or creative efforts is very welcome.

Anklang provides a MIDI sequencer, Undo/Redo capabilities for note 
editing, real-time synthesis, and support for CLAP plugins.

The source code and binary packages are available here:

https://github.com/tim-janik/anklang/releases/tag/v0.2.0

=======================================================================

This release has significant improvements to audio synthesis 
capabilities and user interface. The documentation has been improved in 
several places, and automated generation was integrated into the CI.

Audio synthesis enhancements include support for new CLAP (draft) 
extensions, such as transport information and file references. We now 
support non-linear mappings for BlepSynth ADSR times, and a new audio 
plugin Freeverb by Jezar at Dreampoint was added, with fixes to the 
damping mode in the original version. Additionally, a Jack PCM driver 
based on Stefan Westerfelds' code was integrated.

Performance improvements were achieved by adding a new optimizing memory 
allocator and supporting low-latency scheduling via sched_* or RtKit. 
Saving projects will now automatically create backups of recent versions.

The user interface has also seen significant improvements in this 
release. These include context help via F1 key in various UI components, 
fixes to mouse wheel sensitivity for modern browsers, improved tooltips 
and note editing in the piano roll. The UI can now be zoomed via new 
menu entries, the color palette was updated, and integration of 
TypeScript annotations allowed improving the UI JavaScript code quality.

In terms of packaging, AppImage builds saw major compatibility 
improvements, and we increased the frequency of Nightly releases, 
building from nearly all significant trunk merge commits. We aim to 
generate more regular releases in the future instead of having lots of 
Nightly builds between regular releases.
