Those new modes didn't get finished on this go around. Hans didn't want people to begin creating presets based on a feature that is still subject to change.
oh ok, thanks for letting me know :)

Hi Hans,
I have following issue with the new window setting in agc. With higher values about 4.5dB , left audio channel will be about 2dB less than the right channel.
I make a test with a 1kHz test tone and with the basic preset and switch off stereo boost.
I add to screenshots.
I use stereotool as vst-plugin in Wavelab

GUI 8.10 not coming up / starting at all in Debian 7 & Jack both up-to-date
* noticed it is not 64, there is no 64 between the downloads *

I verified bacclux' problem for the dsp version. However it seems to happen for all Window values above 0dB and depends on the Ratio (obviously, I guess).

'window' is not implemented well. There is 2 main problems.
- Window target is very slow
- Speeds inside window are 0 - should be something like 10x slower then agc speed(s) but not 0.

Chances are that this is because of the 64 bit version, which indeed isn't available at this point (I used new compiler features and as it turns out I was using an older compiler for the 64 bit version, which didn't support an option that made it impossible to compiler 1 of the files - that's bad anyway so I need to fix that. Will do that when I'm back from the US.)

DSP version crash on first start: That's a scary one, do you have more info? Address? Exact message?

Sorry, no. I just clicked the message away and restarted and it hasn't crashed again for the time being.
So you got an actual 'not responding' pop-up? And then you started the host (which one?) again and it worked? That could potentially not even be Stereo Tool related then? (Stereo Tool writes its settings to file when you normally close it, but it should have never gotten there).

Bugs reported:
- Crash in DSP on first startup. 2nd start was ok.
- Crash when loading Jeroen's Sublime 80's preset (Fixed)
- AGC Window bands different (Fixed)
- Rename Start Ratio back to Ratio, we might not need this after all (?)
- GUI: the small processing time box is always showing 50% usage; on the CPU & latency page correct values are shown though ---> Should show the 1st CPU load from that page.
- GUI: in extreme mode for post-AGC & SB compressors the start ratio box starts on the right edge of the GUI but ends on the left, i.e. you see a part of the box above the peak meters
- SST auto-save settings in the background.
- Bojcha: 'window' is not implemented well. There is 2 main problems. - Window target is very slow. - Speeds inside window are 0 - should be something like 10x slower then agc speed(s) but not 0.

Later:
- Update website LATER
- CHECK CRASH with VLC - VLC related?? Not seen anymore, later.
- Perform latency measurements
- Web interface export preset
- Generate UIDs and use link
- Password for login?
- Attempt Wes Keene's Feedback mode (see Facebook chat)
- Auto-determine best latency/affinity settings
- New idea: FM stereo trick might reduce MP3 artifacts as well! So add it to streaming output.
- Run as a service
- TODO: Add exception if ignoring too high VST parameter numbers (Audacity bug! -> Was fixed in later Audacity version, never mind).
- Websockets? Later
- However, MediaMonkey was quite insistent I upgrade to the later version 4.1.13.1801, so I did, and now what is happening is the Declipper screen is whited out and can't be configured, though it still works with the last set settings.
- Also when I close MediaMonkey, the Declipper screen hangs (everything else closes), and when I do a forced close, Windows says it's MediaMonkey hanging.
- Still a hack (enabled with a special setting) is needed for some people who want RDS with stereo output... It doesn't make any sense but on some transmitters that apparently works... However I only know of one person who uses this. Not urgent now, this person can use an older version for now.
- Remove inputOldSamplesFixedCopy, should not be needed if I split WAVE from VU meter calculations.

(Probably) all true.
IIRC I installed ST over the old version, so at first it used the old ini-file. After the crash I deleted the ini-file and a fresh one was generated when restarting.
I currently don't have any useful additional information, sorry. If there'll be some, I'll report back.
