changelog:

  • upgrade vcvrack to version v1.1.6
  • more included modules (119 plugins = 1350+ vcvrack modules, status 01.02.2020)
  • better handling of realtime scheduling priority and cpu affinity - this helps quite a bit on the raspberry pi
  • there is now an optimize option in the desktop menu to rerun the realtime scheduling priority and cpu affinity setup whenever needed
  • rename headless mode to virtual mode to make room for the upcoming proper headless mode in vcvrack v2
  • switch mali gpu based systems to modesetting xorg server plus LIBGL_FB=3 mode of gl4es - this lets the gpu even render the ui if we are in virtual mode via xpra (does not work on the raspberry pi as it is mesa based)
  • image building process completely changed - it is way more clean and flexible now
  • supported systems: raspberry pi 3b and 3b plus (working much better now), amlogic s905w, s905x and s905 based android tv boxes, odroid c2 (yet untested) - more to come
  • work on raspberry pi 4 support has started but is not working yet - meanwhile you can use my raspbian build of vcvrack on raspbian (not as fast as running it in 64bit on the sonaremin, but better than nothing until that is ready)
  • upgraded software everwhere: linux kernel is on v5.4 lts now, mesa for the raspberry pi is at v20rc1, gl4es is fresh and the underlying ubuntu is still 18.04 updated to current state
