[linux-audio-dev] 0.9beta18.1 released

Although a few people discovered the 0.9beta18 tarball, it was never officially announced. This new tarball incorporates a lazy-week's work, plus a few fixes from France, into the existing significant list of changes from 0.9beta17.1. Enjoy! http://ardour.org/releases/ardour-0.9beta18.1.tar.bz2 Changes since 0.9beta17.1 ------------------------- * fix sends - they do not crash ardour (and/or system) when used - they start life with the same number of outs as their "parent" track * fix relative gain changes in mix groups * allow renaming of playlists - click "p" button of track controls, choose "rename" to rename current playlist - new and copy playlist operations pop up the rename dialog with the default new name present and selected * restore initial splash screen * don't save empty playlists into state file * add templates dir to CVS (contents not yet included in distribution because of technical difficulties) * auditioner outputs are now persistent * might have fixed ksi_ardour build problems * all ArdourDialogs are now KeyboardTargets - Ctrl-w now closes any dialog * pre/post-roll buttons and clocks removed * follow PH (playhead) button added to transport * new session reorganized - added ability to limit number of inputs+outputs used to set up Connections etc. * session cleanup improvements and fixes - still does not unlink but PLEASE TEST IT.
