Yes, I really go searching for MIDI 2.0 news once a week.
Interesting that ARM 64 is supported:
"Everything is built for both Arm64 and x64 starting with this release. Arm64 builds are supported only on the latest Windows 11"
these changes caught my eye:
Dirty-disconnect cleanup
Automatic endpoint reconnection through API
There's also this exceptionally good news:
"When discussing the delivery approaches with the API review team, we jointly concluded that the WinRT MIDI2 Application API itself should be shipped out of band from Windows rather than as part of the Windows SDK. The primary reason for this is the release and update schedules for the Windows SDK are too sparse for this product, we'd have challenges trying to make the API available to down-level Windows 10, and we'd also have to have Day 1 support for platforms that we don't tend to initially support (x86-32, Xbox, Hololens, etc.)."
Sickens me that "Day 1" hasn't arrived, with this chicken-and-egg-and-chicken issue of drivers, plugins, DAWs, and various hardware controllers all somehow magically needing to adopt MIDI 2.0 one would think that least the freaking OS support would already exist. It does for iOS and Linux, already, obviously.
