SoundScape Renderer 0.6.0

https://ssr.readthedocs.io/en/0.6.0/

• 3D support for the binaural renderer using SOFA files

• new network interfaces: WebSocket and FUDI

• an experimental browser-based 3D GUI (using the WebSocket interface)

• Qt GUI:

  • drag & drop of scene files to GUI
  • close with Ctrl-q instead of Esc

• Pd externals: path handling has been fixed, BRS renderer is now also available

• macOS: No pre-compiled App Bundle will be provided, the possibility for building it locally might be removed in a future version

• The ssr script has been removed, use ssr-binaural, ssr-brs, ssr-vbap, ssr-wfs, ssr-aap, ssr-dca or ssr-generic instead.

SoundScape Renderer 0.5.0

• GUI now uses Qt5

• the exponent that determines distance attenuation of the amplitude in the virtual space can be set by the user

• significant extensions of the documentation

• the former NFC-HOA renderer is back in an experimental version now called distance-coded Ambisonics (DCA)

• headphone-compensated HRTFs are included

• the end-of-message character in TCP messages can be selected by the user

SoundScape Renderer 0.4.2

• the default number of threads is now obtained automatically (but can still be overwritten)
• configure options to en-/disable certain renderers
• certain renderers are now available as Puredata externals (via flext), still experimental (a.k.a. buggy)
• minor GUI changes (no more "pie slices" on sources, larger fonts)
• man pages (generated with help2man)
• several bugfixes, improvements to the MEX files

SoundScape Renderer 0.4.1

• all renderers (except BRS and generic) are now available as MEX files
• SSR can now be compiled with clang++ and libc++ on OSX 10.9 (Mavericks)
• several bugfixes

SoundScape Renderer 0.4.0

• the signal processing core of the SSR is now a separate thing and part of the "Audio Processing Framework" (APF, http://audioprocessingframework.github.io)
• multi-threading support and other performance improvements
• brand new Near-Field-Corrected Higher-Order-Ambisonics (NFC-HOA) renderer (which is still experimental and might have quite a few bugs)
• WAV, FLAC and OGG playback is now possible via ecasound & libsndfile
• binaural and BRS renderers now support IR files with arbitrary number of channels (as long as they are divisible by 2)
• new option --name to set the JACK client name
• compatibility with the "Clang" compiler
• experimental draft for Matlab MEX files (using the NFC-HOA renderer)
• VRPN tracker support (thanks to Rouven von der Burg, Daniel Schwingenheuer and Johannes Arend!)
• many bugfixes and improvements (but most probably also new bugs)
