Release announcement for MusE 0.7.2pre2
=2D----------------------------
Hi everybody,

This is the second prerelease of MusE 0.7.2.

Quite a few fixes crept in to this prerelease! Not that many with regards t=
o=20
sync though. I'd like to take the opportunity to thank for all the reports=
=20
that have been submitted about sync, they are highly appreciated! I (Robert=
)=20
had hoped to look more at the issues but time constraints and (still) lack =
of=20
hardware has made it hard. Not to mention that it's tricky business in=20
itself.

Most notable improvements are Mathias latest nightshift development crazes.
=2D The wave editor is actually usable now!
=2D It's possible to export individual parts to disk and thus create a libr=
ary=20
of parts. They are then possible to drag and drop from a file manager onto=
=20
MusE.
