[LAU] [ANN] Qtractor 0.9.3 - The End of Autumn'18 Release

[Rui Nuno Capela]

Finally!

  Qtractor 0.9.3 (end-of-autumn'18 beta) is out!

All the changes that were simply 'decrastinated' for this season are as
follows:
- Auto-backward now skips the end-of-session location.
- Audio clip time-stretching and pitch-shifting limits are now 10-fold
in either direction.
- Custom color (palette) theme editor introduced; color (palette) theme
changes are now effective immediately, except on default.
- Old deprecated Qt4 build support is no more.
- Recover audio and MIDI dedicated port connections when changing any of
the Metronome, Player and/or Control option settings.
- Fix MIDI track (and bus) bank/program reset to none.
- Anti-glitch micro-fade-in is disabled on audio clips with zero offset.
- Audio and MIDI file players also stopped on Transport / Panic command.
- LV2 plug-in UI GTK2 and X11 in Qt5 host native support are now
disabled on default configure.
- Get rid of symlink duplicates on the default plugin search paths.
- According to Debian policy and guidelines, the out-of process plugin
scanner (qtractor_plugin_scan) is now installed to $LIBDIR/qtractor.


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.
