[LAA] Qtractor 0.9.30 - An End-of-Year'22 Release batch #3

Hello one third and last time this year, Qtractor 0.9.30 (end-of-year'22) is released! Change-log: - Plugin latency/delay compensation now in effect immediately after changing track option (cf. Track/Properties... /Plugins/Latency compensation). - Shade-off regions not-in-view from the thumb-views. - Improved MIDI queue time drift correction resilience and stability against in-flight tempo changes. - The main real-time process cycle now runs on uniform block-sizes, in strides of 64 frames per period, meaning a higher resolution automation, independent of buffer-size. - The internal main MIDI engine gets its ALSA sequencer queue to a higher resolution (PPQN aka ticks-per-beat) and not subordinated to the current session's anymore. - Although being deprecated to use, JACK Session support is hopefuly fixed, once again. - Better discriminate CLAP Plug-in specific note events and strict MIDI dialect event processing. 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.
