Summary of article: The MIDI 2.0 standard has been under development. The standards body which develops it has the rule that all standards development happens behind closed doors, under NDA, but the NDA is lifted when the final version of the standard is formally published. Microsoft has been working on a new version of the Windows MIDI subsystem to support MIDI 2.0. Microsoft wanted to open source it, but until now couldn't due to the NDA. Now the standard is published, Microsoft is legally allowed to change the repo from private to public – https://github.com/microsoft/midi https://github.com/microsoft/midi – and this blog post is to announce they've done that.
