storytold/soundcraft v0.8.0 is a release of the open-source project that re-implements Avid Pro Tools in pure Rust. The central change in this version is improved portability of the engine tests. Path borrowing was fixed so that the engine tests also build on Windows, and Unix-only mutable references were allowed. The newly published detail is that the path on which the tests build was adjusted, and the release summary describes this as a test portability improvement.
The repository presents itself as a clean-room reimplementation of Avid Pro Tools, and its implementation language is Rust. This release also adds a Nix check workflow. So v0.8.0 includes fixes to the Windows engine test build, permission for Unix-only mutable references, and the addition of a Nix check workflow. The focus of the change is not on newly describing the project's audio capabilities, but on handling tests and check paths.
The stored path is restricted so that it is only followed to this computer or the shared folder of the current session. Given this restriction, stored path handling is not a mechanism that follows folders in other locations. The published release summary makes the test portability improvement and the path restriction clear, but does not describe changes to the audio features themselves. Therefore v0.8.0 is a release in which changes to the test build and path handling are confirmed, rather than new audio features.
