JUCE 8 Is Available Now

Amazing work by the Juce team… I started using the framework on v7.0.5 and in just over one year, you have added webview and Direct2D rendering support with a whole new addition!

If you have a JUCE 7 perpetual licence then you can continue using JUCE 7 under the JUCE 7 EULA indefinitely, even if you upgrade to JUCE 8.

If you don’t have a JUCE 7 perpetual licence then you can still use JUCE 7 (and all other previous versions) under the terms of the JUCE 8 EULA.

I may have missed an update, but didn’t we need to buy a new JUCE 8 perpetual licence at full price (buying directly, without going the upgrade path) to be able to keep using the JUCE 7 EULA while working with the JUCE 7 framework and use the JUCE 8 EULA on other projects that used the JUCE 8 framework?

Didn’t this above mention contradict what you said on the “JUCE 8 EULA” thread here:

@t0m

If you upgrade from JUCE 7 to JUCE 8, with the 30% discount, then your JUCE 8 licence will replace your JUCE 7 licence and you will be bound by the JUCE 8 terms. If you purchase an additional JUCE 8 licence, without the discount, then you can use your JUCE 8 licence for JUCE 8 projects and your JUCE 7 licence for JUCE 7 projects.

So, maybe I missed an update on this, but I would appreciate if this could be confirmed, since that would be great to be able to keep using the JUCE 7 EULA on JUCE 7 project even if we upgrade with the 30% discount to JUCE 8.

Thanks!

Can I use, in a commercial project, a modified source code JUCE 8 licensed under the first tier (the one with $20.000 revenue limit)?

Any information in the thread with [ARCHIVED] in the title should be ignored.

You can use a modified version of JUCE 8 under the Starter licence in a commercial project if you are within the corresponding revenue limit.

Congrats on the new release!

I have a question regarding compatibility on Windows. What are the reasons that the new minimum requirement is Windows 10 or higher? We were wanting to update to JUCE v8 in our current release of Mixcraft but if that means our software will no longer work on earlier Windows flavors we’d be removing support for some people as an update which is not the best customer experience.

Thanks for your time!

Just want to say that I simply updated my VST project to JUCE 8 and it fixed some graphical hangups i was experiencing, with no modification. Very smooth! Thank you.

Big thanks for the D2D support!! The performance on Windows have significantly improved, and the font rendering now looks much more native to the OS than before.
