Re: [LAU] [ANN] Qtractor 0.4.9 - The Final Dudette is out!

Yess :) This is one hopeful attempt to be the very last one before officially entering the TYOQA age.

Mainly a big fix and optimization release. Yes, you've read that right. Big. Some earthquake-bound changes have sneaked in and all under the hood. Most are bearable visible, if at all. Quite frankly, the most time-critical code paths have been subject to some kind of a deep overhaul, and to say the very least, might get only noticeable while loading hugely complex sessions. Whatever that means. In other words and put simply, there are gentle performance wins and nice resource savings. Anyway, there's no breakage regarding the past. Everything should work smooth as ever. Nevertheless, there's a good chance it might enter beta phase or whatever you wish to call it. I guess most people had ditched any serious assessment on this piece of software just because I've been sticking with an infamous alpha label for so long. Well, inb my own opinion (what else?), if you care, it's just that. All software is always either in that so-called alpha or omega-there's no middle term, all else is marketing gibberish--all software is more or less in a broken state (ie. alpha) or just simply dead and gone (omega). There you have it :) With nothing else to say (and then time being the worst of enemies),  Qtractor 0.4.9 (final dudette) is out!
