Overview

Request 832770 accepted

- Update to version 2.10
* Add a method to PluginWrapper, the host-side base for
adapters like PluginInputDomainAdapter that modify the
processing behaviour of a plugin, that tells it to "disown"
the wrapped plugin. The former behaviour, and still the
default, is for the wrapper to take ownership of the wrapped
plugin. The alternative behaviour makes it easier to mix
these classes with some modern C++ styles that use managed
pointers
version 2.9
* Fix non-thread-safe behaviour in PluginAdapter. Plugins built
using the adapter classes in version 2.8 or earlier cannot
safely be used simultaneously across threads with other
instances of themselves or of other plugins in the same
library (i.e. shared object). Hosts have been required to
provide synchronisation for such cases. Version 2.9
introduces synchronisation in the plugin, making this
usage safe. Unfortunately this does not make host code safe
when using older plugin builds, as the problem and its fix
are in the plugin side of the SDK. Caution is still required,
but this fix does allow updated plugin builds to avoid
problems with some existing hosts
* Change required C++ language standard from C++98 to C++11.
This is because of the use of std::mutex in the above fix
version 2.8:
* Fix off-by-one rounding errors in frame-to-ns conversions.
Unlike the other changes here which are invisible to plugin
code, this change can lead to different results in the lowest
significant figures from existing plugins if relinked against
the newer code
* Fix theoretical possibility of integer overflow in RealTime
constructor
* Fix use of undefined behaviour in PluginRateExtractor
- Spec cleanuo
