[LAD] [ANN] Qtractor 0.9.28 - A Late-Summer'22 Release

Greetings, Qtractor 0.9.28 (late-summer'22) is released! Change-log:: - Complete overhaul of the current host time(base)/BBT information delivered to plug-in types that matter: VST, VST3, CLAP and LV2. - Improved key-signature editing and display on Tempo Map / Markers (time-scale) management dialog. - Fixed plugin selection, when creating and switching initial track type, from audio to MIDI and vice-versa. - Fixed typos and updated some old MIDI GM2 Controller names. - Add current system user-name to the singleton/unique application instance identifier (when explicitly opted in at build configure time). 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.
