Change-log:
- Half a decade later, recent new custom entries may now get removed
from Session Infra-client list.
- Some rather old, better said "Cambric explosion era", user preference
options have been ditched altogether: Display / Time Format; Display /
Shiny glass light effect; Display / Connections/Draw connections and
patchbay lines as Bezier curves; Misc/Configure as temporary server.
- A brand new and way long overdue connections Graph widget is finally
introduced, only to be accessible through the context menu at this time.
- Extended multi-selection is now supported on all Connections
client/port lists, allowing for multiple (dis)connections at once.
- Disable singleton/unique application instance setup logic when the
display server platform is not X11.
- A little hardening on the configure (autoconf) macro side.


** Qsynth - A fluidsynth Qt GUI Interface [2] **

  Qsynth 0.5.1 (pre-lac2018) is released!

Qsynth is a FluidSynth [9] GUI front-end application written in C++
around the Qt framework [6] using Qt Designer.

display server platform is not X11.
- Fixed deprecated calls to fluid_synth_get_channel_info(),
fluid_synth_set_midi_router() and fluid_settings_getstr() (as signaled
on libfluidsynth >= 1.1.9).
- A little hardening on the configure (autoconf) macro side.
