[LAA] Qtractor 1.1.0 - A Summer'24 Release

Hello again, Qtractor 1.1.0 (summer'24) is out! Change-log: - Fixed MIDI clip step-input when play-head is located beyond or after the end of the active looping/cycle range. - Fixed whole clip selection, implied after dragging the lasso over the left and before the beginning of timeline. - Clip/Unlink is now a undo/redo-able command. - All sessions now honor their designated resolution property (PPQN aka. ticks-per-beat) not subordinated to former ALSA sequencer queue anymore, which runs on a higher resolution still. - Avoid removing MIDI Track/Channel tree items from the Files view (eg. via direct [Del] keyboard shortcut when in focus). - Fixed a probable old issue of spilled and duplicated shortcut entries (Help/Shortcuts...) between main tracks/timeline and MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) windows. - Fixed fade-in/out curve types of clips when copy-pasted over the main tracks timeline. - Fixed general plugin scan/cache optimization in face of new plugins added and/or removed. - Fixed VST3 Plug-in main/active buses channel count inventory; also, on updating host parameters, only save and load custom modified parameter values from current state. - Fixed a misssing display and port-name filtering issue, that was introduced recently to the MIDI Connections widget only. 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.
