Ardour 8.8 has problems with sporadic crashes and disregarded MIDI notes. Ardour 8.9 addressed these difficulties and restored the nightly website, allowing customers to download the app as usual.
Ardour 8.9 released
Ardour 8.8 turned out to have a couple of major issues. Many users experienced crashes at random times that were caused by a subtle change in how waveforms were drawn, introduced in 8.8. It also turned out that MIDI notes immediately at the start of playback were ignored.
Both of these have been fixed (and also the nightly website has been restored to proper functioning), and so 8.9 is now released and available. You can download it as usual.
We apologize for the lapse in quality control that led to these mistakes in the 8.8 release.
