Hi paul,

I’ve seen you’re migrating to cairo canvas. I’m just wondering what is the advantage?

thanx paul. Now its clear for me.

Is there something like daily build for downloading? Or is the manual build the only solution?

in no particular order: h/w acceleration. control. gradients. rounded corners. sensible code design. tuned to ardour’s needs. and more.

How do I build the cairocanvas version?

you need to use git to access the cairocanvas branch. then build it.
