The tentative release plan for Rack v2 and Rack for DAWs is the following. By “wait”, I mean “ensure that a certain amount of time passes before the next step”.
- Continue working on Rack v2 and Rack for DAWs.
- Once both are “alpha” quality, release Rack v2 source code.
- Wait at least 4 weeks while testers and plugin developers review the code.
- Once both are “beta” quality, begin providing development builds of Rack v2. Send Rack for DAWs builds and licenses to testers.
- Wait at least 2 weeks for users to review the development builds.
- Once Rack v2 is “stable” quality, release it.
- Wait at least 2 weeks.
- Once marketing is ready, release Rack for DAWs.
The following people will be granted beta builds and licenses of Rack for DAWs at no charge.
- Developers of open-source and commercial plugins on the VCV Library.
- Developers of freeware plugins at my discretion.
- A few artists who have tested commercial plugins for VCV in the past.
