They were 95% the same, so this makes a lot more sense this way. When group host processes were introduced yabridge only did VST2 bridging, but we already have a plugin type argument anyways so might as well reuse that for group hosts.

# Roadmap
|
|
|
|
Yabridge's VST2 and VST3 bridging are feature complete and should work great,
|
|
but there are still some other features that may be worth implementing. This
|
|
page lists some of those.
|
|
|
|
# Short-ish term
|
|
|
|
- [ARA](https://www.celemony.com/en/service1/about-celemony/technologies)
|
|
support for VST3 plugins. The ARA SDK has recently been [open
|
|
source](https://github.com/Celemony/ARA_SDK), so we can now finally start
|
|
working on this.
|
|
|
|
# Longer term
|
|
|
|
- [CLAP](https://github.com/free-audio/clap) plugin bridging. Implementing this
|
|
only makes sense once Windows-only CLAP plugins start appearing.
|
|
- An easier [updater](https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge/issues/51) through
|
|
a new `yabridgectl update` command for distros that don't package yabridge.
|
|
|
|
# For a major release
|
|
|
|
- Replace the use of `notify-send` for notifications with using `libdbus`
|
|
directly. Most systems will have both available by default, but some less
|
|
common distros split `notify-send` from the rest of the `libnotify` package.
|
|
- Consider adding an option for yabridgectl to set up VST2 plugins in `~/.vst`.
|
|
As discussed in a couple places already doing so would come with a number of
|
|
downsides and potential pitfalls so this may not happen.
|
|
|
|
# Somewhere in the future, possibly
|
|
|
|
- REAPER's vendor specific [VST2.4](https://www.reaper.fm/sdk/vst/vst_ext.php)
|
|
and
|
|
[VST3](https://github.com/justinfrankel/reaper-sdk/blob/main/sdk/reaper_vst3_interfaces.h)
|
|
extensions.
|
|
- [Presonus' extensions](https://presonussoftware.com/en_US/developer) to the
|
|
VST3 interfaces. All of these extensions have been superseded by official VST3
|
|
interfaces in later versions of the VST3 SDK, so it's unlikely that there are
|
|
many plugins that still rely on these older extensions.
