[LAA] [Announce] MusE 0.9

Hello everybody, Finally, after what does seem like ages (mainly because there literally has been ages) since the last release, here is finally what we have decided to call MusE 0.9! MusE is a multitrack midi/audio sequencer with support for internal and external softsynths, in the same vein as popular commercial music applications like Cubase, Logic, etc. MusE has been in transition towards a redesign dubbed MusE 1.0 and there wasn't supposed to be any more development in the old (0.7,0.8, now 0.9) branch. But, due to fresh developer interest and lots of angry users, we decided to resurrect the old codebase :) (I didn't mean the part about angry users, we love you all! :-) ) The MusE homepage is at: http://www.muse-sequencer.org The download is available at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lmuse/ Some major changes since 0.8.1: - Working -old style- automation system, pretty much all parameters should be automatable, audio and midi. - Redesigned Solo/Mute system, works much better - lots of "things" added - lots of bugs fixed (exchange quotations as needed) Quite long winding excerpt from the ChangeLog: * Fixed bug 1650953 - select and move segfault * Fixed broken master list editor.
