[LV2 1.12.0](http://lv2plug.in/spec/lv2-1.12.0.tar.bz2) has been released.  LV2 is a plugin standard for audio systems. It defines a minimal yet extensible C API for plugin code and a format for plugin "bundles".  See <http://lv2plug.in> for more information.

Changes:

 * Fix merging of version histories in specification documentation.
 * Improve API documentation.
 * Simplify property restrictions by removing redundancy.
 * core: Add extern C and visibility attribute to LV2_SYMBOL_EXPORT.
 * core: Add lv2:isSideChain port property.
 * core: Relax domain of lv2:minimum lv2:maximum and lv2:default so they can be used to describe properties/parameters as well.
 * eg-sampler: Add gain parameter.
 * eg-sampler: Support patch:Get, and request initial state from UI.
 * parameters: Add range to parameters so hosts know how to control them.
 * patch: Add patch:Copy method.
 * patch: Define patch:Get with no subject to implicitly apply to reciever. This can be used by UIs to get an initial description of a plugin.
 * units: Add lv2:Parameter to domain of units:unit.
 * units: Fix non-existent port type in examples.
