AAP v0.9.1 release (along with aap-lv2 v0.4.1 and aap-juce v0.6.1)

Today I tagged and released aap-core v0.9.1, aap-lv2 v0.4.1 and aap-juce v0.6.1.

There has not been many development activities in AAP land since last release (v0.9.0) and there is almost no new features, therefore the version is 0.9.1. I have been busy on other activities (like working on a comprehensive audio dev. book) - I had some recap on 2024 on my blog post.

One excuse I have is that I tried hard to get GUI integration in aap-juce land. I could render the UI somehow, but cannot go further (it does not interact with the host). And it's just too crazy to even investigate the problems, so I kind of gave up for now.

The new version is more about the new AAP APK Installer experience that became realistic thanks to the helps and improvements over GitHub API for Java. The new AAP APK Installer version (v0.3.0) works well with the latest PackageInstaller experience on the Android platform.

AAP v0.9.1 also comes with the new plugins application AAP Airwindows which became doable thanks to baconpaul/airwin2rack project. I haven't even tried all those 448 new plugins, but that's a huge addition. Our aaphostsample now had to change the way how we can scroll to find a plugin (there was aap-lv2-guitarix before either, but it was the only exceptional plugin earlier...). We may still need improvements in androidaudioplugin-ui-compose-app.

I'm still in my busy activity streams and AAP development would not be as fast as before, but it's still one of my primary projects along with MIDI 2.0 related ones. I hope to make more improvements and hit Play Store with those bunch of apps with (hopefully) better user experience.
