Please note this is a beta release, which includes a rework of how parameters are handled (replacing old deprecated code, with modern JUCE recommendations). This has a number of benefits (listed below). However, while efforts have been made to ensure a smooth switch over for current projects hosting older versions of the plugins, it is possible that some existing parameter settings, automation data, or DAW parameter linking, will no longer be correct. If you notice something is wrong, try removing and re-adding the plugin. If the issue persists, please report it via the GitHub "Issues" tab :)

Changes
- Replaced deprecated parameter handling code with a modern JUCE parameter manager, resulting in:
- improved automation behaviour (such as the ability to also write automation data),
- double clicking on most parameter sliders will set them to their default value,
- units are now shown in parameter labels,
- better syncing between JUCE GUI and the default UI
- greater flexibility and compatibility moving forward
- Added a workaround so that 128 channel plugins will no longer crash in MaxMSP (thank you @mdedwards).
- The sparta_6DoFconv plugin is now compiled and released with SAF_NETCDF enabled (MacOS and Windows), allowing much larger SOFA files to be loaded (thank you @orchidas, @TeodorsKerimovs, @ahihi)
- The sparta_beamformer, sparta_ambiENC, and sparta_rotator plugins no longer incur a "frame size" of latency (thank you Tomasetti, M., Farina, A. and Turchet, L).
- Various bug fixes (thank you @ollpu, @TroikaTronix, @Afrodo2829, @Greaseball0815, @mspanc, @tom-rod, @axisprojectproductions, @alpianon, @hectorC).
- Minor improvements to the look and design of the plugin GUIs.
