Hi folks,

We're glad to announce the availability of LMMS 0.4.1. This version is a 
maintainance release of the 0.4.x series. It fixes most of the bugs found in 
0.4.0. Furthermore various components have been improved to work more reliable 
and/or userfriendly. Thanks to all who helped making up this release 
(especially those who kept up testing and reporting bugs)!


Changes:
* heavily improved Piano-Roll:
  - support for editing panning for individual notes
  - easy selection of notes
  - easy move of selected notes

  available
