Qtractor 0.8.4 - End of Summer'17 release!

Yes, it's been like clockwork...

Every two months or so, you stumbled with a brand new dot release, code-named after some of the same adjective-plus-noun (or vice versa) code-names. You knew the thrill and yet it lands no more.

First, the code-naming joke has been just a parody--or was it the other way around?--to some well known Linux-distro alimalistic code-name series. Then on it got rogue into some directed puns--remember the date when BitWig Studio 1.0 was first released? Yeah, the "Byte Bald" was there for the pun, on the very same day :)

Well, that's all gone by now.

Northern hemisphere seasons are the new norm and that's about two main reasons: first, it's where I live; second, due to an undeniable global warming effect pervading the globe, all geographical temperate zones are simply on the edge of extinction. More or less in a couple of decades or so. For the sake of brevity, I will just leave it like paying homage to those natural concepts that are facing an inexorable fate.

And yet, there're still the good news:

Change-log:

• Assigned MIDI Controllers to plug-in's Activate switch are now finally saved and (re)loaded properly across sessions.
• Audio clip panning option property is now being introduced.
• Out-of-process (aka. dummy) VST plug-in inventory scanning now restarts automatically and resumes processing in case of a premature exit/crash; VST plug-in inventory scan/cache persistency is now in place.
• Desktop entry specification file is now finally independent from build/configure template chains.
• Updated target path for freedesktop.org's AppStream metainfo file (formerly AppData).
• Changing the View/Options.../Display/Custom/Style theme takes effect immediately unless it's back to "(default)".
• Slightly slower but better approximation to IEEE 32bit floating point cubic root ie. cbrtf().
