Change-log:
- CLAP [9] plug-in host support introduced. (EXPERIMENTAL)
- Reviewed LV2 plug-in UI Touch feature/interface.
- Auto-unlink MIDI clips when pasted/placed with Ctrl+click/Enter.
- Fixed LV2 plug-ins UI X11 (native) initial size.
- Fixed implicit deactivation when a plugin is removed from chain.
- Fixed audio clip export, normalize and tempo-adjust when audio file 
number of channels is disparately greater than respective track's output 
bus count.
- Fixed one killer lurking in MIDI Controller... modeless dialog 
instantiation.
- Fixed non-effective automation curve node editing.
- Track/Export Tracks... dialog ranges are not capped to current 
session-end anymore.

- Set auto-backward play-head location also when clicking on main 
track-view header/time-ruler and on thumb-view.
- Fixed LV2 plug-in buffer-size initialization, esp. affecting the 
ZynReverb LV2 playback.
- Export Tracks dialog last range selection is now remembered.
- Fixed the out-of-process plugin scanner path resolution on some 
self-container(ized) formats eg. AppImage and possibly Flatpak.


Description:
   Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application 
written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, 
where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the 
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main 
infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio 
workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.
