[LAU] [ANN] Qtractor 0.9.90 - A Spring'24 Release Candidate batch #3

Hi, twice again! Now finally making the QStuff* third batch of the blooming season... [list] [b][url=https://qtractor.org]Qtractor[/url] 0.9.90[/b] ([i]spring'24[/i] aka. v1.0.0-rc1) is released! [/list] Maybe, just maybe--no promises here whatsoever--this could be very well be the last before [i]the unthinkable[/i] 🐱? Change-log: - Prepping the unthinkable (aka. v1.0.0-rc1) - MIDI Controller mappings are now shown on floating tool-tips. - Custom color themes are now file based (*.conf); legacy still preserved ntl. - Add default GM, GS and XG standard instruments definition file. - Old generic "Portuguese" translation (pt) has been corrected to the more proper "Portuguese (Brazil)" locale (pt_BR). - Up and Down arrow-keys may now be used to change event values on the MIDI clip editor current selection (eg. note velocities). - MIDI clip editor now featuring lollipops for all kind of candy event values ;). - Make the minimum width of events on the MIDI clip editor larger, depending on screen resolution and horizontal zoom setting. - Avoid issuing equivalent MIDI track channel volume and panning via GM standard controllers (CC#7 and CC#10 resp.) to mitigate recursive or positive feedback loops. - Refined mouse-wheel control step size on the sliders of mixer strips and generic/stock plugin editor dialogs. - Fixed the build checks on whether to use old or newer style of LV2 include headers. - Introducing colored strips on the time ruler headers for loop and punch recording ranges. - Fixed an off-by-one(-pixel) mispositioning of selected events, while on the MIDI clip editor (aka piano-roll).
