    38 For some years PortAudio development proceeded incrementally - bugs were fixed, new implementations were created and a few features were added. Around the time of the original V18 release in 2001 a big list of requested features existed, and there were many separate implementations of the PortAudio API, some with more cut-and-paste commonality than code sharing. Due to a combination of forces, most notably the desire to support multiple Host APIs in a single PortAudio build, it was decided to develop a new unified common infrastructure (support library) with which to implement V19. At that time the feature requests were developed into a set of <a href="index.html">enhancement proposals</a> which describe the new (Version 2.0) PortAudio API now documented in V19's <a href="http://www.portaudio.com/docs/v19-doxydocs/portaudio_8h.html">portaudio.h</a>. The proposals have been stable for some time (close to a year). The common infrastructure is now largely implemented in the <a href="http://www.portaudio.com/usingcvs.html">v19-devel CVS branch</a>, and the version 2.0 API is well documented, and available as part of the <a href="http://www.portaudio.com/docs/v19-doxydocs/">doxygen generated documentation</a>.

    44 At the time of writing, a substantial portion of V19 functionality has been implemented for Windows (MME, DirectSound, and ASIO) for Linux (ALSA, OSS, and JACK), and SGI. However no work has commenced on the Macintosh (SoundManager, CoreAudio) which was well supported by V18. The current ASIO version has not been back-ported to the Macintosh, however it would require little effort to do so. 
     44At the time of writing, a substantial portion of V19 functionality has been implemented for Windows (MME, DirectSound, and ASIO) for Linux (ALSA, OSS, and JACK), and for Mac OSX Core Audio. Platforms which were well supported with V18 which are not currently supported by V19 are SGI AL and pre-OSX Macintosh (Sound Manager). The V19 ASIO implementation has not been back-ported to the Macintosh, however it would require little effort to do so if the need arose.

    604 The above status report needs to be taken in the context of the V18 release, the features it implemented (and didn't implement), and the quality and consistency of its implementations. For example many features listed above were not part of the V18 API, some were not consistently implemented accross all platforms, and some of the bug-like items were also present in V18. So the overall conclusion is that V19 is in pretty good shape. Aside from the total lack of support on the Mac at this stage, the V19 API is moderately functional on all other platforms, in many cases to a level that matches or surpasses V18.
