This release also includes several new MIDI device definition (.rgd)
files, as well as updates for Catalan, Russian, Swedish, Czech and
Italian translations and a completely new Finnish translation.
Finally, with this release the name of the project has officially
changed to Rosegarden. Formerly it was referred to as Rosegarden-4 in
order to mark the current application as newer than the long-obsolete
"Rosegarden 2.1", a quite different and more basic application.
We have been phasing out the use of the 4 suffix in online
documentation and other places, and we have now officially dropped it.
Whereas the previous release was "Rosegarden-4 v1.2.3", this release is
"Rosegarden v1.2.4". Any remaining references to Rosegarden-4 are bugs.
