Do you recommend to replace Surge with Surge XT?

[yurivict]

I maintain the FreeBSD port for Surge.

Now Surge XT is out. Should the Surge port be renamed into Surge XT, or they should exist in parallel?

[baconpaul]

We recommend they exist in parallel, and set up homebrew and our binary installers that way

[mkruselj]

They are installed in parallel and have different plugin IDs. Old Surge 1.9 branch won't be updated anymore.

[yurivict]

But if Surge XT is a complete replacement, why keep Surge 1,9 ?

[K0rrid0r]

sometimes its nice to keep track of how changes were made, and old projects was maybe done with older version of surge

here is an example how all versions of surge can coexist

[baconpaul]

Yeah exactly surge is a renderer for projects in daws. Almost everyone (including me) keeps the old and new version around so they can render and edit older projects

[baconpaul]

(And surge 16-19 were drop in compatible in daws but xt is not for a variety of reasons, hence the separate I’d and so on)

Oh just fyi @yurivict we plan a 1.0.1 release in next 48 hours to fix some bugs found after release if that adjusts your packaging plans

Thanks for the heads up. I'll package it then.
