📚 [ANN] yabridge 2.0.0, a VST2 bridge for Wine with fully concurrent event handling

Yabridge is Yet Another VST Bridge, allowing you to use both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows VST2 plugins in a 64-bit Linux VST2 host in a modern and transparent way.

I'm very excited to finally release yabridge 2.0.0. This release has been on the back burner for a while, and the biggest change is that yabridge's communication model is now fully concurrent. This makes yabridge the first VST bridge that can do a full one-to-one passthrough of all function calls without any workarounds, which should result in the best possible plugin and host compatibility. Because of this the old hack_reaper_update_display option for REAPER and Renoise is no longer needed and has been removed since yabridge 2.0.0 can handle all weird event handling situations without issues. These changes also speed up the time it takes to open and scan for plugins in certain hosts, and you can now also safely use a single plugin group for all of your plugins to greatly speed up plugin loading times without causing potential slowdowns.
