We care about the quality of provided plugin bundle and release new bug-fix release that contains the following changes:

• Implemented fully compatible with EqualizerAPO software digital filters that are now part of the Parametric Equalizer plugin series.
• Fixed issue that caused VST plugins not to load from cusom user-defined path.
• Some code parts rewritten for better compatibility with WindowsNT platform.
• Fixed file listing in the file dialog that caused improper reading of remote directories mounted on the local file system.
• Changed implementation of LV2 MIDI transport so now plugins utilize only one LV2:Atom input port and one LV2:Atom output port.
• Fixed bug in host<->UI time and position synchronization for VST plugin format.
• Fixed AVX+FMA3 implementation of dynamic biquadratic filters that caused improper behaviour of the Multi-band compressor plugin on machines that support AVX and FMA3 instruction set.
• Multiband compressor now properly handles the 'Bypass' button.
• Fixed return of improper extension pointers when requested extension is different to the ui:idleInterface.
• Fixed bug in dynamic processor plugin that could issue invalid metering values.
• Fixed UI size issue for VST plugins in Cockos Reaper.
• Fixed numerous memory leakage issues in UI components.
• Fixed spontaneous crashes when destroying the Profiler Mono/Stereo plugin.
• Fixed embedded resource generation tool that had invalid behaviour for several file systems.
• Reimplemented I/O subsystem.

That's great! Thank you for all your work!

FWIW: when running the stereo parametric eq in Carla, trying to adjust the hue of a track "froze" my computer after a while. I did not really freeze, but it seemed to taking a lot of CPU and change the color really slow for a long time.

All I had to do was to start Carla (empty), add the eq and click and drag on a hue button.

This does NOT happen in Ardour, so I am not sure the problem is the plugin or Carla. (That's why I did not open a problem in github.)

(By the way, I mention it only for the sake of debugging if necessary, as it really won't be a problem for me.)

Do you use LV2 plugins or VST?
Is the problem reproducible with 1.1.6 release?

Also another bug report forces me to make the 1.1.9 release ASAP:
https://github.com/sadko4u/lsp-plugins/issues/36
So please carefully use some plugins that have the 1.1.7 version.

I was using LV2.

I am out of town right now, so I can't test 1.1.6, but will give it a try when I get back next week.

EDIT: OK, I forgot I had jack and carla in my laptop. I tried 1.1.5 (could not find 1.1.6) and it had the same issue.

I should clarify that the plugin doesn't really freeze (1.1.5 or 1.1.6), but the hue button keeps jumping and the CPU gets stuck at 100%. If you close the window with the plugin, it goes back to normal. If you wait too long, then it "freezes".

That's reasonable because there was no 1.1.6 release.
Hmmm. Is is possible to record some video snippet and publish somehwere like youtube to clarify your use case?

OK, I've uploaded a video here: https://youtu.be/dB3Dg5aI058 I apologize in advance for slowness and clumsiness...

You can watch the CPU usage in htop. Note that this time the plugin CPU did not go to 100%... It had in the past (in my desktop, at least). But you can see it increase and the hue jumping around.

I've just build Carla from git and can not reproduce your case.

As I said, it is not a real problem for me.. But for what is worth, I've used an (up to date) version of carla-git from the KXStudion repos:
EDIT: FWIW, I am running Carla on Debian Sid under KDE. Here is the info on the graphics cards.

Ah! New carla-git came in and fixed the problem!
Thanks to falktx!
