Hi again, For last but not least and concluding the so called traditional pre-LAC2019 [8] release frenzy: Qtractor 0.9.6 (pre-lac2019) is released! Here the last changes included for this wrap-up release: - Fixed LV2 UI Touch feature/interface implementation. - Plugin latency/delay compensation is now introduced as an option to tracks only (cf. Track/Properties.../Latency compensation). - Refactored all singleton/unique application instance setup logic away from X11/Xcb hackery. - A bit lesser of a naive file-name numbering is now in place to avoid as much as possible, the piling up of internal curve/automation files when saving existing sessions. - Maybe just informational but the original MIDI file format is now correctly reported across ref-counted linked MIDI clips. 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.
