Axiom 0.4.0 is here, with many improvements and fixes. You can download the standalone and VST editions for Windows, and very soon macOS (I'm just sorting out some issues here and didn't want to delay the release).
Don't forget to check out the Usage Guide!
As always, if you've got any suggestions for features, ideas or contributions for the editor or builtin module library, or you've found a bug, don't hesitate to put them up on the issue tracker or make a pull request.
You can find downloads for the Axiom installer and a ZIP file which both contain the standalone and VST2 editions. These are packed with UPX; if your virus scanner flags them, feel free to download the unpacked ZIP which is bigger but not packed with UPX.
