Oops! Something broke in Low Latency monitoring mode. Just fixed it, update coming...

Windows 32 bit:
Windows stand alone: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... 12-002.exe
Winamp DSP: http://www.stereotool.com/download/dsp_ ... 12-002.exe
Windows VST 32 bit: http://www.stereotool.com/download/vst_ ... 12-002.dll

DONE 8.12-002:
- Fixed crash when enabling Low Latency mode, introduced in 8.11.
- Fixed some workings in the Server code (%ld instead of %d).
- Made it build (fixed a few minor things, mainly optimization #pragma related) in gcc 5.4.1 in Linux.
- Make Generic plugin only use sound card access in Windows version, not in new Linux version.


DONE 8.12-001:
- Problem with Analog compressor on some settings fixed, behavior now same as version 8.00 again.
- Slider in ST web GUI works again.

DONE 8.11:
- Crash when loading Jeroen's Sublime 80's preset (Fixed)
- AGC Window bands different (Fixed)
- Rename Start Ratio back to Ratio, we might not need this after all (?)
- GUI: the small processing time box is always showing 50% usage; on the CPU & latency page correct values are shown though ---> Should show the 1st CPU load from that page.
- GUI: in extreme mode for post-AGC & SB compressors the start ratio box starts on the right edge of the GUI but ends on the left, i.e. you see a part of the box above the peak meters
- SST auto-save settings in the background.

Bugs reported:
- Crash in DSP on first startup. 2nd start was ok.
- Bojcha: 'window' is not implemented well. There is 2 main problems. - Window target is very slow. - Speeds inside window are 0 - should be something like 10x slower then agc speed(s) but not 0.

Later:
- Fix latency for WatchCat
- Improved Declipper detection

Later:
- Update website LATER
- CHECK CRASH with VLC - VLC related?? Not seen anymore, later.
- Web interface export preset
- Generate UIDs and use link
- Password for login?
- Attempt Wes Keene's Feedback mode (see Facebook chat)
- Auto-determine best latency/affinity settings
- New idea: FM stereo trick might reduce MP3 artifacts as well! So add it to streaming output.
- Run as a service
- TODO: Add exception if ignoring too high VST parameter numbers (Audacity bug! -> Was fixed in later Audacity version, never mind).
- Websockets? Later
- However, MediaMonkey was quite insistent I upgrade to the later version 4.1.13.1801, so I did, and now what is happening is the Declipper screen is whited out and can't be configured, though it still works with the last set settings.
- Also when I close MediaMonkey, the Declipper screen hangs (everything else closes), and when I do a forced close, Windows says it's MediaMonkey hanging.
- Still a hack (enabled with a special setting) is needed for some people who want RDS with stereo output... It doesn't make any sense but on some transmitters that apparently works... However I only know of one person who uses this. Not urgent now, this person can use an older version for now.
- Remove inputOldSamplesFixedCopy, should not be needed if I split WAVE from VU meter calculations.
Show MicroMPX block size and quality

Yup, now ST works great, no crashes here anymore :)

Debian Wheezy / Jack up to date both 32 and 64 do not execute after allowing to (8.12 download page). Maybe you should know we do not use an audio card on this node, just jackd net connected. Is there perhaps a dependency at startup? Nevertheless this used to work ok.

Do you get an error message? I switched to a newer compiler (in Ubuntu 16 instead of Ubuntu 10 from 4 years ago). If your Linux uses some older components that could cause this.

Edit: Please run ldd and post the output here. So something like this:
% ldd ./stereo_tool_gui

Edit #2: Just tested in Fedora (I had a VM environment for it because of problems in the past), works fine. I have a Debian 7.1 VM as well, will test that now.
Edit #3: This one cannot find: GLIBC_2.15, GLIBCXX_3.4.21, GLIBCXX_3.4.19, GLIBC_2.16, GLIBC_2.15

Edit #4: Debian 7.1 seems to still be at glibc version 2.13 from 2011... wooh... :( Can you please confirm if you're having the same issue? I could switch to static linking but I'm not sure if that's a good idea on Linux...

I get no error, does not start up at all, attached printscreen, like you also guessed.

All Beta Bug.
Low mpx signal with enabled calibration.

Ok, I Googled a bit and Debian Wheezy (Debian 7, 2013) which contains glibc 2.13 is superseded by Debian Jessie (Debian 8, 2015) which contains glibc 2.19. Stereo Tool requires 2.16 to run.

There doesn't appear to be a really simple solution to work around these issues, so I'm going to wait if more people start complaining who are using older distros.

(A solution would be to build on an older system, but that also means using an older - probably less optimized - compiler which lacks some features that we're using now).

I understand your way of thinking on this. I am familiar with libgc and wheezy stuff but the LTS for Wheezy runs till may 2018. We probably now have to upgrade to Jessie indeed.

FYI for this ST upgrade we now need to upgrade Rivendell also - cause the RD release under Wheezy we use does not run on Jessie. Also the Jackd was not connecting backwards on earlier tests so we have to upgrade more or less everything in our studio now.

In an earlier post I did a request to make the Linux release available here, that would have worked nicely so we could have catched this in an earlier stage. On short term I will probably downgrade to 7.84 because 8.0 is consuming far too much CPU and I was really looking out to this multi thread release.
