Re: Re: VSTPlugin v0.5 pre-release!

Hi Christof, I finally got around to trying this latest version, and for me
(under Windows x64) it (still) seems to work fine. I thought there were
some more dropouts when running on my laptop not plugged in (lower-power
mode), but I went back to an older version of VSTPlugin and it seems to
behave the same. I got lots of "late" messages, even with only one VST
instrument in use. But I don't think it's a regression, I normally work
with the laptop plugged in and just happened to be testing this initially
on battery power... Still, this is far from comprehensive testing, just my
usual usage (with the NodeProxyController), multithreaded loading, etc.

Thanks again for your work on this!
Glen.
