Hi everyone,

In case you were wondering how you might raise your spirits now that Christmas 
is well and truly over - I have the answer! Overtone 0.8 is here and is ready 
to bring joy to you all!

We've been working hard for 7 long months on this release and things are really 
starting to shine. I've personally been using Overtone for a number of live 
performances in art galleries and conferences around Europe on my own and as 
part of my band Meta-eX and I can really vouch that this release is 
"Performance Ready"!

If you haven't dipped your toes into the exciting Overtone waters, now is the 
perfect time to get rocking. We've got a whole bunch of great examples in the 
overtone/examples directory to get started with as well as a plethora of 
fantastic new features.

Highlights include:

* New, all Clojure, in-memory scsynth interface using clj-native - now 
supporting Windows in addition to Linux and OS X
* New (optionally disabled) machinery to stop the control and modification of 
non-live nodes (controlling loading nodes blocks the current thread and 
controlling destroyed nodes throws an exception).
* New event handler `on-latest-event`  which serially handles incoming events 
with the lowest latency by dropping events it hasn't had time to handle, yet 
always handling the last event seen.
* Major progress has been made porting the metadata for the extra ugens not 
included by default in SuperCollider. See 
`overtone/sc/machinery/ugen/metadata/extras/README.md` for progress
* Complete overhaul of the default group structure. See `foundation-*` fns.
* Many new synths
* Many, many new ugens: major progress has been made porting the metadata for 
the extra ugens not included by default in SuperCollider. See 
`overtone/sc/machinery/ugen/metadata/extras/README.md` for progress.
* Clojure 1.5 compatibility

As always, the Overtone Cheatsheet gives an overview of the full API: 

So give it a try. Add [overtone "0.8.0"] to your lein 2+ project and evaluate 
(use 'overtone.live) in your REPL then come and share your musical/sonic/noise 
exploits over on the Overtone mailing list:
