>   * normalization can be undone (patch from jkyro)
>
>   * export dialog redesigned
>        - master outs appear in their own selector, preselected
>	- button to control visibility of specific other tracks
>
>   * new playlist selector (uses a tree structure in a scrolled
>           window, instead of menus)
>
>   * add "nudge by capture offset" operation for regions
>
>   * remove zoom changes from the undo/redo history

>   * sessions still load when audio files are missing or corrupt

>   * Ardour is believed to build on OS X (CVS and/or this release)

>   * templates now get installed/uninstalled/rolled-into-tarball/etc.  Let me

>   * Removed libglib dependency from libardour.  Instead of guint32, we use 
>     stdint.h's uint32_t, etc.
>   * fixed some midi prompter dialog issues
>   * fixed some midi binding state saving issues
>   * change entire buffer management scheme to be (more) RT-safe
>   * a major CVS commit that includes the first pass of changes to fix
>     some serious errors in the way ardour handles threads when
>     exiting. it also includes a significant fix to make export work
>     when sync'ed with JACK
>   * new functions to do "internal seeks" within the existing playback
>          buffer of a DiskStream, avoiding a new disk read for
>	  small adjustments of playhead position
>   * lots of work on MTC slaving
>   * changed prototype of pthread_exit_pbd()
>   * don't send a message via error/info/warning/fatal if thread
>          is not registered with GUI
>   * remove "eox" signal from MIDI parser
>   * cleanup a few details of MIDI parsing
>          - importantly, all sysex messages get eox on the end
>	     when passed to specific functions
>   * add "timecode-source-is-synced" option to ardour.rc(.in)
>   * remove Session::request_roll()
>   * fix bug with MMC rec-enable handling (only odd-numbered tracks
>        could be enabled)
>   * make region export progress bar move in the right direction
>   * more MTC slaving fixes and improvements (not done yet)
>   * remove wrong-thread-calling of Session::clear_event_type(),
>        which should help a number of loop-related crashes
>   * remove erroneous use of "abort" in function call
>   * Automake-1.7 or higher is required for libmidi++ now
>   * add "nudge by capture offset" operation for regions
>   * enlarge playhead/edit cursor arrows a bit
>   * avoid duplicate keyboard target registration
>   * pay attention to "virtual" window enter/leave events,
>        but continue to ignore "inferior" ones (may help
>	with keyboard focus issues)
>   * cancelling tempo/meter create dialog doesn't insert
>        a default tempo/meter marker
>   * tempo/meter create dialogs have minimal WM decor, and
>        use standard ArdourDialog API
>   * 2d panner fixed in many ways (still not to my taste and
>        not really correct)
>   * context-click on 2d panner shows context menu (Bypass is the only
>        entry so far) 
>   * bypass added to stereo panner context menu	
>   * general panner state load/restore fixes
>   * master outs added to connections menu
>   * added optimizations for peak metering (use of fabsf, flag
>        constants as floats, avoid implicit double/float casting)
>   * Updated the Italian and Brazilian translations.
>   * handle disk over- and under-run errors in the GUI, and be more
>      comprehensible to regular users.
>   * fix panning bypass for 2d panner
>   * fix stereo panner "mute" menu item so that it doesn't
>        toggle panner mute state every time it pops up
>   * fix more subtle elements of panner state restoration
>   * remove window crossing debug messages
>   * add "OK" button and remove window decoration from "can't
>      connect to JACK" dialog
