Changelog

Every change to Talk Moonshine!, oldest at the bottom. Bug fixes, new features, breaking changes. We bump versions as MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH per semver.

v1.0.3

2026-05-27 Stability

Fixed

  • Stability under audio-device hot-swap. Talk Moonshine! could crash the host (Ableton Live and similar) if the audio interface was unplugged or the buffer size changed mid-session. The audio engine has been reworked to pre-allocate all internal scratch buffers up front, so the real-time processing path no longer touches the system allocator. Smoother CPU, no more device-switch surprises.

Changed

  • Plugin version metadata bumped from 1.0.2 to 1.0.3. Same features, same sound, much more polite to your DAW.

// If you are on v1.0.2, just drop the new VST3 / AU over the old one and rescan. Your existing licence key keeps working.

v1.0.2

2026-05-21 Patch

macOS

  • Signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarised by Apple. The macOS build now opens cleanly with no Gatekeeper "unidentified developer" warning, no right-click-to-open workaround needed.

Changed

  • Plugin version metadata bumped from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2. No DSP or feature changes, the audio code is identical to 1.0.1; this is the properly signed + notarised macOS build.

v1.0.1

2026-05-17 Patch

Fixed

  • User presets now load correctly. Selecting a saved preset from the USER section of the dropdown previously loaded the last factory preset (017 Stardust Shimmer) instead of the user preset, which looked like "all my values just reset". Knobs and Moonspace nodes now restore to exactly the state that was saved.
  • Preset field is no longer empty after Save. The just-saved preset name is now selected in the dropdown immediately after Save.
  • User preset listing is now sorted alphabetically (case-insensitive), so the same preset always lands at the same combo position across sessions.

Changed

  • Plugin version metadata bumped from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 (visible in the DAW plugin manager).

v1.0.0

2026-05-15 Initial release

Added

  • DSP chain: Filter > Harmony > Dual Voice > Delay > Space (Schroeder reverb + shimmer) > EQ > Dynamics > Master.
  • Moonspace: 7 draggable 3D spheres (DRY, VOICE A, VOICE B, DUAL, DELAY, SHIMMER, CORE) mapped to spatial parameters.
  • 17 factory presets in 3 tiers (Daily / Character / Atmospheric).
  • Dark and light themes, switchable from the top bar.
  • Standalone (.exe / .app) and VST3 on Windows and macOS; AU on macOS additionally.
  • License activation with offline .lic fallback (Activate Licence menu item).

Known limitations

  • Windows build is unsigned. SmartScreen may show a one-time warning on first install; click "More info" > "Run anyway".
  • macOS build is ad-hoc signed only; full Developer ID notarisation pending Apple approval.
Version-number convention. MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH: PATCH for bug fixes only (no behaviour change); MINOR for new features that don't break existing sessions or presets; MAJOR for breaking changes (parameter IDs renamed, preset format changed, etc.). The canonical machine-readable version of this file lives at CHANGELOG.md in the repo.
