=======================================


v1.1.2 - 2026-09-13 - Nevy skin TX selector fix

  Fixed:

  - On Nevy skin (dark), the A2503 and C9049 transformer position
    were wrongly shown in mirrored locations, while Amok showed
    correctly - A2503 is at 8-clock and C9049 at 2-clock. Now
    both skins show identical and correct positions for
    transformer selection.


v1.1.1 - 2026-09-11 - APY iron improvements

  Fixed:

  - The APY circuit's built-in console output iron now resets its
    magnetic state when the host stops and restarts the audio stream,
    like the input transformer does. Previously a stopped session
    could carry a small amount of magnetic history into the next
    playback.
  - The APY circuit's built-in iron now responds to the Device Age
    control and to the modeled chassis temperature, like every other
    transformer core. At the default Age setting the change is at the
    threshold of measurability.


v1.1.0 - 2026-09-10 - APY circuit, A2503 transformer, metering, output gain, groups
 
  New:

  - APY main circuit added. An American discrete op-amp recording console
    that carries its own inline output iron. Its low-end grit falls as
    you drive harder, the signature of this hardware class. Fast and
    punchy with an iron-forward low end. Instances running APY share the
    same virtual power supply as every other instance, whichever circuits
    they run.
  - A2503 transformer model added. A known console core with the highest
    headroom of the five models, sitting between the iron trio and the
    transparent L1544.
  - Output Gain control added. A final level trim at the end of the strip.
    Hold Shift while dragging either gain knob to inverse-link the pair,
    so pushing the input automatically trims the output to hold level.
  - Meter-switch selector: switches the meters between reading the input
    or the output signal level.
  - GROUP remote control button added. Each plugin carries a group letter
    (A to H), and arming the GROUP button broadcasts changes only to strips
    sharing that letter. The ALL button still remote controls every strip.
    TrueRail voltage rail capacity is shared between all groups and main
    circuits for realistic summing across the board.
  - VST3 users: the new circuit and transformer options extended the
    selector ranges. Existing VST3 automation lanes written for those
    selectors should be checked after updating. AU sessions are unaffected.
 
  Fixed:

  - Reported latency at 16x oversampling was one sample short. Hosts now
    delay-compensate exactly at every oversampling setting, and null
    tests align sample-accurately at 16x.
  - Mono instances now mirror the level meter to both LED columns and
    show a MONO badge, instead of leaving the right column dark.
  - Test reports expanded to cover the APY circuit and the A2503
    transformer alongside the existing options.


v1.0.2 - 2026-09-03 - AAX Support

  New:

  - Avid AAX support added.


v1.0.1 - 2026-08-29 - Oversampling low-end fix

  Fixed:

  - Selecting oversampling settings above 2x started thinning the low-end response.
    Now low-end stays full with any OS position.


v1.0.0 - 2026-08-24 - Initial release

  New:

  - Component-modeled input chain: input transformer with four selectable cores,
    discrete drive circuitry in three topologies (SLL, Nevy, Amok), TrueRail
    power-supply grades, and stereo width.
  - Shared-console behavior: instances in one session share supply load,
    mains-ripple phase, and signal ground. A single instance is unaffected.
  - ALL button: broadcasts control changes, preset loads, window size, and skin
    to every instance in the session.
  - Preset system: factory bank, user presets, and a Default preset that defines
    the fresh-instance state.
  - Two visual skins (Nevy, Amok) and continuous window resizing, each instance
    remembering its own settings, preset, skin, and size.
  - Metering calibrated to studio alignment: VU at 0 VU = -18 dBFS RMS
    (EBU-style channel alignment), five input LEDs per side at
    -18 / -12 / -6 / -3 / 0 dBFS.
  - Calibrated defaults chosen by ear: transformer L1544 at 120 percent drive,
    SLL circuit, TrueRail C, width on at +6 percent.
  - Signal test results included: twelve automated verification suites, report
    files installed alongside the manual.
