[fluid-dev] DLS format - AW: Release Candidate of fluidsynth 2.1 released

[Reinhold Hoffmann]

Tom, thanks for 2.1 and in particular the builds for Windows. Tests of the
DLS format run almost smoothly. I have one recommendation. The function 

int fluid_is_soundfont (const char *filename)

in misc.h, fluid_sffile.c fails for the DLS format but only covers sf2 and
sf3. I recommend to include the DLS format to this function/module, too. To
me it is not a big deal and avoids a change in the user software.

Betreff: [fluid-dev] Release Candidate of fluidsynth 2.1 released

A prerelease for fluidsynth 2.1 is available. Thanks to all contributors,
bug reporters and testers!

https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/releases/tag/v2.1.0.rc1

fluidsynth 2.1 will not only bring new features, it also features changes to
the synth engine: A new, less "ringing" reverb engine and stereophonic
chorus are among them. Care was taken to not change how the reverb
parameters affect the effect itself. Feel free to use this prerelease for
audio rehearsal. For a full list of changes, pls. see the preliminary
changelog below. You're welcome to provide feedback to any of the changes.

For those who prefer to stay stable for the moment, fluidsynth 2.0.8 is
available.

This prerelease is planned to become the fluidsynth 2.1.0 stable release in
late November.
