The latest beta release of the library is from **2018-08-07** , available here: [https://github.com/kevinstadler/processing-sound/releases/tag/20180807](https://github.com/kevinstadler/processing-sound/releases/tag/20180807) installation instructions can also be found over there.

## What’s new?

- the FFT artefact bug is finally fixed

- improved documentation and added examples for allocating, reading, setting and manipulating of audio sample buffers using the new `AudioSample` class (see the [corresponding JavaDoc](https://kevinstadler.github.io/processing-sound/docs/index.html?processing/sound/AudioSample.html)). The pre-existing [`SoundFile` class](https://kevinstadler.github.io/processing-sound/docs/index.html?processing/sound/SoundFile.html) for loading+playing sound files from disk is a subclass of `AudioSample`.

- controls for setting of hardware parameters such as the input or output device to use for capture and playback have been moved to a dedicated new class called `Sound` (see the [corresponding JavaDoc](https://kevinstadler.github.io/processing-sound/docs/index.html?processing/sound/Sound.html)).
