[LAA] Qtractor 1.3.0 - An Early-Fall'24 Release

Cheers everyone, Qtractor 1.3.0 (early-fall'24) is released! Change-log: - Use timebase-aware JACK API for relocation; provide `bar_start_tick` in JACK Transport/Timebase BBT information. - Always reset the target bus when copying or moving an Aux-Send insert into an audio output bus. - Mixer: fixed dangling track removal after one of its buses has been previously deleted." - Fixed MIDI clip offset resizing, most especially when drag-moving the left-edge. - Audio Aux-sends inserted on audio output buses are not restricted to later buses anymore; the only restriction now is that no cyclic or loop-back routes are allowed; audio output buses are now sorted internally in-place for correct processing order. - Update all Aux-Send inserts whenever their respective output bus gets renamed or deleted. - User preference option View/Options.../General/Options/Reverse keyboard modifiers role (Shift/Ctrl), now also applying to the play-head and/or edit-head/tail re-positioning in the timeline. - Plug-in name/title alias makes its debut. - Fixed a partial port-name filtering issue on the MIDI Connections widget. - Last selected automation curve color is now persistent and the default for all later automation curves. - Connections: connector line colors are now uniquely mapped on a (readable/output) client name basis. 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.
