NOTE: svn is currently non-working! we're updating and changing some low-level base classes... we'll be back in a few days.. have patience

...almost done...

list of feature for axonlib v.0.1.0

OVERVIEW:

• c++
• binary format abstraction for vst plugins and excutables on linux and windows
• common look, feel, functionality among platforms
• few external dependencies
• compile scripts with simplified command lines for the gnu gcc compiler
• tiny and compact binaries with no big, external libraries needed
• cpu efficient, code prepared for compiler analysis and optimization
• options to disable code or functionality that is not needed
• flexible axl license, (generally gpl w/ exception for proprietary use)

CORE:

• builtin fast memory allocator routines (and leak detection functionality)
• builtin routines for low-level string and memory manipulation
• heavily optimized mathematical functions and approximations
• intuitive debugging functionality & helpers
• static and runtime assertion

GUI:

• hierarchial gui, flexible, skinnable, auto-layout, sizeable, moveable etc
• resizeable window/editor (in plugin hosts as well)
• low level gfx (gdi/xlib) canvas, surface, bitmap etc
• partial support for antialiased, transparent lines
• support decoding 32bit pngs from memory or from an external file
• scalable, alpha blended bitmaps
• mouse cursor shapes, hovering hints, mouse capture, modal widgets

DSP:

• polyphonic voice manager and event scheduler
• modular audio graph with connectable dsp modules
• rbj filter bank
• basic oversampling container
• chamberlin state variable filter
• rms approximation
• envelope follower
• basic waveform generators

PLUGINS:

• lots of included example vst plugins
• simplified creation and use of parameters
• easy host tempo/sync handling for audio and midi
• can load external files directly from plugin folder on both linux and windows

OTHER:

• basic read/write access for external files
• utility methods for bit manipulation and conversations
• scripts, stack-based, 4th inspired, rudimentary compilation (bytecode)
• builtin, random number generators
• mersenne twister implementation, customized for small binary size impact
• fft implementation
• much more...
