[LAA] Qtractor 0.9.18 - A Fall'20 Release

Hi everyone,... Qtractor 0.9.18 (fall'20) is out! Change-log: - When under NSM, all top-level windows, main, mixer and connections, will always start hidden. - Plugin editors (GUIs) that are currently open on a track are now brought up as top-level windows immediately when a track is made current or highlighted (and Track / Auto Monitor is in effect). - MIDI clip editor mouse hovering effect extended to whole current note line on main view (piano-roll eye-candy++); also, the white keys on MIDI clip editor's virtual piano keyboard, are now fully highlighted. - Plugin search paths (View > Options... > Plugins > Paths) now lists all the default and actual existing paths, instead of a blank list. - Undimmed octave divider lines on the piano-roll. - Fixed potential crash on changing audio output buses channel count. - Note names display (inside note rectangles) are now an option on the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll; menu View > Note Names). 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.
