Hello everybody!

It comes with one top recommendation though: please update, at once, while it's hot! :)

Highlights for this dot/beta release:

• Overlapping clips cross-fade (NEW)
• MIDI Send/Return and Aux-Send insert plugins (NEW)
• Generic and custom track icons eye-candy (NEW)

Some other interesting points may be found in the blunt and misty change-log below.

And just in case you missed it before,

Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

Change-log:

• Beat unit divisor, aka. the denominator or lower numeral in the time-signature, have now a visible and practical effect over the time-line, even though the standard MIDI tempo(BPM) is always denoted in beats as quarter-notes (1/4, crotchet, seminima) per minute.
• Fixed an old hack on LV2 State Files abstract/relative file-path mapping when saving custom LV2 Presets (after a related issue on Fabla2, by Harry Van Haaren, thanks).
• Default PC-Keyboard shortcuts may now be erasable and re-assigned (cf. Help/Shortcuts...).
• New option on the audio/MIDI export dialog, on whether to add/import the exported result as brand new track(s).
• Introducing brand new track icons property
• Old Dry/Wet Insert and Aux-send pseudo-plugin parameters are now split into separate Dry and Wet controls, what else could it possibly be? :)
• Brand new MIDI Insert and Aux-Send pseudo-plugins are now implemented with very similar semantics as the respective and existing audio counterparts.
• Implement LV2_STATE__loadDefaultState feature (after pull request by Hanspeter Portner aka. ventosus, thanks).
• Plug-ins search paths internal logic has been refactored; an alternative file-name based search is now in effect for LADSPA, DSSI and VST plug-ins, whenever not found on their original file-path locations saved in a previous session.
• Finally added this brand new menu Clip/Cross Fade command, aimed on setting fade-in/out ranges properly, just as far to (auto)cross-fade consecutive overlapping clips.

Enjoy && Keep the fun, always.
