LMMS: 0.4.6 released
LMMS is a free cross-platform alternative to commercial programs like FL Studio®, which allow you to produce music with your computer. This includes the creation of melodies and beats, the synthesis and mixing of sounds, and arranging of samples. You can have fun with your MIDI-keyboard and much more; all in a user-friendly and modern interface.
LMMS 0.4.6 is a maintainance release of the 0.4.x series. It fixes most of the bugs found in version 0.4.5. Thanks to all who helped make this release (especially those who kept up testing and reporting bugs)!
We'd also like to announce our effort to rename LMMS again. Please
keep reading for details!

LMMS Renaming Effort:
The team has discussed renaming the project in the past. The reasons for
not renaming have largely been:
* SourceForge.net won't let you (easily) rename
* LMMS is now a recognized brand, we are the top hit on Google, etc...
* We can't think of a better name
* It is too much effort and we are too lazy
However, there are many reasons why we should rename the project
* "LMMS" may be recognized, but it is too hard to say El-Em-Em-Es
* The current name is not "catchy" or "cool" we need something marketable
* L = Linux, but we now support Windows and will soon support OS-X
* MM = MultiMedia, but we are now only focused on audio
Now SF.net allows for renaming projects. We've now realized that maintaining
the "LMMS" brand has little value if the name itself is too hard to
pronounce and remember. We are now willing to put in the effort required
for renaming.
The only thing missing is the new name; this is where you come in! Users
will submit their recommendations. When we are ready to pick a name we will
either choose our favorite, or we will pick our top-5. The winner will then
be voted on by the community. The winner will receive a free copy of LMMS!
To submit your recommendation, send an email to rename.lmms@gmail.com Please
include "LMMS" in your subject line. In the body include your recommendation
and a description. Be sure to include reasons for choosing the name.
There is no limit on how many suggestions you can make.
Good luck!
