DryWetMIDI 6.0.0

Devices API available for macOS now

DryWetMIDI allows now work with MIDI devices on macOS! More than that, a couple of new classes are available for macOS only:

• VirtualDevice;
• DevicesWatcher.

Also HighPrecisionTickGenerator implemented for macOS too so you can now use Playback with default settings on that platform. Its implementation for macOS is not good (in terms of performance) for now but will be optimized for the next release of the library.

Breaking changes

This version of the library has following breaking changes:

• Melanchall.DryWetMidi.Devices namespace renamed to Melanchall.DryWetMidi.Multimedia to reflect its content more precisely since not only devices are there.
• DriverManufacturer, ProductIdentifier and DriverVersion properties were removed from the MidiDevice class and replaced by GetProperty method for InputDevice and for OutputDevice.
• Channels, DeviceType, NotesNumber, SupportsLeftRightVolumeControl, SupportsPatchCaching, SupportsVolumeControl, VoicesNumber and Volume properties were removed from OutputDevice and replaced by GetProperty method.
• Removed InvalidSysExEventReceived and InvalidShortEventReceived events from InputDevice and replaced them with ErrorOccurred one.
• All obsolete APIs were removed from the library.
