# Releases

Please go to the SourceForge project page to download tarball releases listed in the following table.

version | date | comments
--- | --- | ---
0.7.0 | 2004-08-17 | Added new plugins TAP Chorus/Flanger, TAP Sigmoid Booster and TAP TubeWarmth. Fixed denormal FP problem leading to runaway CPU usage in TAP Stereo Echo.

0.6.0

2004-06-22

Added new plugins TAP Fractal Doubler, TAP Pink/Fractal Noise and TAP Reflector.
Enhanced the internal workings of TAP Reverberator to result in much better reverb sound.
Fixed CPU runaway problems in TAP Reverberator and TAP Dynamics (Mono & Stereo).
Added new Reverb Types: Ambience, Ambience (Thick), Ambience (Thick) - HD, Cathedral, Cathedral - HD.
Complete website/docs redesign, now downloadable as a separate package.

0.5.0 | 2004-05-01 | Added TAP Dynamics (Mono & Stereo). Ardour now supports drop-down lists in plugin GUIs, so there are no more long port labels. Minor fixes, improvements, new screenshots ;-)
0.4.2 | 2004-03-03 | TAP Deesser's Monitor control didn't work, apparently because my awesome out-of-range protection applied to that input didn't let anything but zero get through due to a typo in the source. Sigh.
0.4.1 | 2004-03-03 | Added TAP Equalizer/BW, which is identical to TAP Equalizer but provides separate controls to set the bandwidth of each EQ band filter. Fixed yet another crashing bug in TAP Reverberator (which appears to be introduced upon fixing the previous crashing bug).

0.4.0

2004-02-21

Added new plugins TAP Pitch Shifter, TAP Rotary Speaker and TAP Vibrato.
Fixed crashing bug in TAP Reverberator (the bug appeared with hosts that call `activate()` before `connect_port()`).
Fixed lock-up bug in TAP DeEsser (the bug appeared when an input sample had +/- INF value).
Various smaller bugfixes (almost every plugin locked up when control input values of +/- INF were appiled).

0.3.0 | 2004-02-04 | Added new plugins TAP AutoPanner and TAP DeEsser. Changed TAP Tremolo code to compute and store the cosine table only once on library loading, not for every instance. Changes were made to the memory management of TAP Limiter.
0.2.0 | 2004-01-28 | Added new plugin TAP Scaling Limiter. Added Bode diagram to the TAP Equalizer manual. Changed versioning from x.y-z to x.y.z to fit better in Debian, Gentoo and such distributions. Moved project to SourceForge.net on 2004-01-29. Minor changes to HTML page. Changed name from TAP to TAP-plugins.
0.1-1 | 2004-01-25 | Added RDF support in the form of an `.rdf` file describing the plugins. Hosts that obey RDF metadata should have less difficulties displaying plugin GUIs. [1]
0.1-0 | 2004-01-24 | Initial release. Available plugins: TAP Equalizer, TAP Reverberator, TAP Stereo Echo and TAP Tremolo. [1]

[1] These versions are no more available since they were released before this project moved to SourceForge, and the author sees no point in keeping outdated versions around.

> Request to package maintainers: If you would like to include TAP-plugins in your distro, or provide packages of some format on your own decision, just go ahead. However, when you have made a package of TAP-plugins publicly available, please notify me so I can include your distribution (and you as well, if you want it) in the above list. To do so, please send me the URL where your package is available (possibly a sub-page of your distro's online package browser, or your own package collection), along with your name and email address (if your mail headers don't tell it all). Thank you.
