As already clearly explained above, each version of the plugins is for ONE SPECIFIC VERSION of Audacity. You cannot use the plugins v. 2.00 with Audacity 2.02...
We were almost finished with plugins version 2.01, when Audacity was further stepped up to 2.02, se we have now to recompile everything again, fixing incompatibilities, etc...
It is unfortunate that Audacity (as most of the open source software) is being developed with no attention to compatibility with the past. Every minor revision of Audacity, requires approximately 100 hours work for fixing the compatibility with Aurora plugins. And, as the number of ported plugins increases, this time increases too.
After three years, I am starting to doubt that it was a good idea to choose such an unstable host program for hosting my Aurora plugins.
We are seriously thinking to give up, and switch back to a robust, professionally-maintained host program (albeit not free)...
