Release Notes
Release notes for Eclipsa Audio Plugins with detailed version updates, new features, enhancements, and bug fixes.
The latest version can be downloaded from the Eclipsa Audio Plugins website
Version - 1.2.0 Beta
August 1, 2025
This release is focused on plugin project upgrade support as well as various bug fixes reported during the public beta.
New Features:
Plugin Upgrade Support
When a new plugin release is installed Eclipsa Plugin instances in existing DAW projects will automatically update to the newly installed release.
Upgrade support starts with this release, so DAW projects created with previous versions of the Eclipsa Plugin instances can not be updated.
New releases must be manually downloaded and installed.
Binaural Playback Improvements
Binaural playback of audio elements is now enabled by default and must be explicitly disabled.
During binaural playback, non-binaural audio elements are now played back as stereo.
A tool-tip has been added to try and better explain the behaviour since there was a lot of confusion around how binaural and non-binaural audio elements are treated.
This behaviour now matches the IAMF web demo.
