Probably 0.9.1.
[...] I don't like the fact that you have to
start your synths
externally from the application.
I personally (as a RG developer) like this aspect; it means that
you treat every synth in the same way and the program behaves
more or less identically whether you're using soft synths or
hardware synths. For a long time I've been moaning to people
(and to the LAD list, on occasion) that I'd like to see a
standalone GUI app specifically for managing soft synths: to me
that would be better than doing so from within the sequencer.
They {Cakewalk} did mention {project page} the possibility of
porting this to linux a while back.

:} This would rock.
I've no idea what's up with that.
In the absence of such a thing, Rosegarden probably
will acquire
the ability to start and stop synths at some point. I'm not
sure whether we'll ever go to the extent of running them in-
process like (I think) MusE does.
In principle LADCCA should take care of this kind of thing for
you (restoring soft-synth connection state etc), but Rosegarden
doesn't support it (or vice versa) yet.
you could only record one track at a time. The
main thing I disliked
about RG was the lack of a mixer window (maybe I just haven't found
it yet).
No, there isn't one. Something of the sort is planned for 1.0
but it's not there yet.
