spectral visualisation tools with automated feature extraction plugins
and annotation capabilities.

This release contains a number of new features, enhancements, and
bug fixes.  For more details, please read the release notes at:

Sonic Visualiser contains advanced waveform and spectrogram viewers,
as well as editors for many sorts of audio annotations. Besides
visualisation, it can make and play selections based on the locations
of automatically detected features, seamlessly loop playback of single
or multiple noncontiguous regions, synthesise annotations for
playback, slow down playback while retaining display synchronisation,
and show the ongoing alignment in time between multiple recordings of
a piece with different timings.

Sonic Visualiser supports the Vamp plugin API for plugins that extract
descriptive or analytical data from audio.  For more information

developers, please see:
