Change-log:

  • Auto-incremental version numbering of backup session files; brand new versioning mode option added.
  • Fixed one long as ever MIDI file export bug, which was about washing all self-induced MIDI bank-select (CC#0, CC#32) and program-change (PC#) events into MIDI channel 1, regardless of the source track/channel.
  • Fixed initial sample-rate settlement on plugin chains for all tracks and buses whenever a session file original sample-rate differs from the current audio device engine (ie. JACK).
  • New German (de) translation added (by Guido Scholz, thanks).
  • Now accepting JACK transport tempo and time-tignature changes while in slave transport mode.
  • Fix ref-count and auto-removal of created files that result from clip merge/export when session is closed but not saved.
  • MIDI track instrument bank/program selection, from plugin UIs that support it, is now effectively and complete.
  • Custom connections for dedicated audio outputs from all plugin chains in MIDI tracks or buses are back in business, hopefully restored gain on session load (ticket by yuba, thanks).
  • Track Properties dialog now dirty after any plugin related change (another head-up by yuba, thanks again).
  • Tempo Map/Markers dialog is not set initially dirty anymore.
  • Audio buses plugin state's persistence were found AWOL: while being properly saved as usual, were being restored to default on every session reload (as noticed by yuba, thanks).
  • NSM (Non Session Management) support is being introduced.
  • The MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) gets a brand new rescale mode: ctrl+dragging the right edge of a note now rescales all times and duration of all the subsequent selected notes (after an interesting idea/ticket by Joel Leclerc, thanks).
  • The new MIDI clip editor rescale mode also applicable to event values (eg. note velocities, pitch-bend), while ctrl+dragging the edges of an event vertical bar.
  • VST plugin (GUI) idle timer makes a comeback.
  • Hard-wired LV2 UI selection order for plugins which supply more than one option (lv2_external_ui gets always honored first then, as provided via libsuil, X11, GTK and last but not least, Qt4).
