[Qtractor-devel] [ANN] Qtractor 0.9.37 - An End-of-Autumn'23 Release

[Rui N. C. <rn...@rn...>]

Hi all!

   Qtractor 0.9.37 (end-of-autumn'23) is out!

Change-log:
- Fixed an ancient hack on session initialization to wait to JACK 
service start up, which hang up while on pipewire-jack >= 1.0.0.
- Add default audio metronome sample files.
- Fixed automation curve rescaling across multiple, more than just one 
or two, tempo-map node changes.
- New MIDI Tool Resize / Legato duration option added.
- MIDI Clip Editor (aka. piano-roll) thumb-view now taking tempo-map 
changes into account.
- Audio metronome is enabled only when both the bar and beat sample 
files are provided.

Description:
   Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application 
written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, 
where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the 
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main 
infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio 
workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.
