[TheSteven]

We are happy to announce the release of Blue Cat's DP Meter Pro 4.2. This free update for our unique audio meter and side chaining tool includes an updated zoomable GUI, improved presets management, MIDI output support for VST3 and more (full change list below).

This is a free update that you can download from the same location as the original full version (you may have to refresh the web page).

What's New:

• Refreshed GUI design, with improved usability and touchscreen support.
• The GUI can now be zoomed from 70% to 200%.
• Brightness control now applies to the entire user interface.
• Last loaded preset is now remembered in session and displayed in the presets menu.
• Plug-in state can now be reverted to the last loaded preset.
• Now supports retina displays on Mac (text and graphs using high resolution).
• VST3: added support for MIDI CC output (require a recently updated VST3 host).
• VST3: added support for MIDI program change messages to change presets via MIDI.
• VST: the user interface is now properly resized in Cubase on Windows.
• Mac: new installer.
• Mac: fixed minor compatibility issues with Mac OS High Sierra and Mojave.
• Fixed missing user manual in plug-in.
• Changed demo limitations: up to 5 instances allowed, bypass time changed to half a second, and bypass parameter is not affected anymore.
• Dropped support for Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.6 and earlier.
• Dropped support for legacy RTAS and DirectX plug-ins formats.
• Fully compatible with previous versions of the plug-in (except for VST3 on Mac, as explained below).

Warning: because of a bug of the initial VST3 release, this new version may not work with existing sessions that used the VST3 format. See this blog post for more details and how to fix it.
