Hello everyone, yet another release of Cardinal is here, this time focused on bugfixes.
Cardinal is a free and open-source virtual modular synthesizer plugin.

• Add retrigger to Host-MIDI
• Do not show resize handle on JACK Standalone
• Fix and enable ChowDSP Credit module
• Fix potential noise burts on load with ihtsyn MVerb-based modules
• Fix messed up graphics on Windows with High-DPI screens
• Fix resources not found on some Windows systems (by not relying on environment variables)
• Fix several Windows UTF-16 issues
• Fix X11 file dialogs not appearing on some systems (auto-activate needed DBus portal)
• Fix VST3 state under some hosts
• Make JACK Standalone more useful on Windows (log to console when possible, show error dialog if JACK not running)
• Optimizations to core modules and headless build
• Refresh default template, add FX and Synth specific template variants
• Tweak Host-MIDI default parameters

The source code plus Linux, macOS and Windows binaries can be downloaded at https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal/releases/tag/22.04.
Cardinal is released as LV2, VST2 and VST3 plugin, plus AudioUnit and JACK standalone for certain systems.
