  + sends can now specify midi source/destinations, as well as disable audio (midi only)
  + I/O dialog: fixed track receives refresh on channel count change
  + huge improvements to snapping system to snap to the closest item
  + flush track buffers on recarm switch even if not recording (better routed record sync)
  + made project length updated when using region copying/etc
  + fixed floating point .wav format
  + fixed vu metering of record-output modes
  + vst: better dealing with plug-ins whose latency decreases
  + pdc now deals with bypass envelopes (more) correctly
  + better support for decreases in plug-in latency, I hope?
  + cleanups to audio configuration system
  + MUCH nicer color theme editor
  + more preferences dialogs improvements
  + audio system wont open when audio/device tab is open
  + adding an effect (via d&d or otherwise) to a track that lacks fx wont open the fx browser
  + preferences wont let you see the audio/device tab when recording
  + moved snap settings from prefs to snap dialog

  + cleaned up cursors/region resizing for timeline
  + better support for 1/128 grid settings etc
  + renamed "tape style" record modes to be just "normal"..
  + external editors: primary/secondary editors for each type, and default. context menu shows editor names, too.
  + reasamplomatic: improved note-offs (more accurate timing, and a note off ends all of that note)
  + reasamplomatic: attack/release controls
  + more drag&drop fixes
  + clicking and dragging a region lets you reorder the project (hold alt to move the region
    relative to the project, and hold ctrl to copy)
  + added option (prefs/recording) for adding new recordings per-loop when looped recording
    (good for "record channel output" overdubbing for both MIDI and audio)
  + reduced size of send controls for I/O dialog
