Audition v1.0.6 has been released and it introduces support for Visual Studio 17.14. This update was needed because Visual Studio 17.14 fixed a long-standing bug in its C compiler that Audition was working around.

The C Compiler Bug and Fix

Previously, Visual Studio’s C compiler had an issue with generic selections, where it would incorrectly treat char as either signed char or unsigned char depending on whether the /J option was used. With the release of Visual Studio 17.14, the compiler now correctly recognizes char, signed char, and unsigned char as three separate and distinct types, which is in line with the C11 and C17 standards. You can read more about this fix in the latest Visual Studio release notes.

What This Means for Audition

Since the underlying bug has been resolved, the workaround is no longer necessary and has been removed for Visual Studio 17.14 and future versions. However, Audition will continue to work on older versions of Visual Studio, as the workaround remains active for those releases.

This is the only change in Audition v1.0.6. If you’re using a previous version of Visual Studio or a different operating system, this update won’t affect you.
