[Ardour-Users] Ardour 3.5.380 released

[Paul Davis]

Ardour 3.5.380 is (another) *CRITICAL* bug fix release. *ALL USERS ARE
RECOMMENDED TO UPGRADE*. Additionally, *ALL LINUX DISTRIBUTIONS SHOULD
IMMEDIATELY UPGRADE/UPDATE TO THIS RELEASE*. Distributing earlier versions
of 3.5 at this point is irresponsible and risks our users' data.

This release includes several absolutely vital fixes for bugs could lead to
audio and MIDI files being irreversibly deleted from disk. We do not know
precisely how these losses happened - no user ever found a reliable recipe
to recreate all of them - but reports from several different users did lead
to a careful code review which uncovered some potential for file loss. One
very repeatable loss of a MIDI file after unlinking a copy of a MIDI region
was very definitely fixed.

There are a few other minor fixes and improvements described below.

As usual you can download it from the usual
place<https://community.ardour.org/download>,


     http://ardour.org/download

and as usual subscribers get this update without cost. Thanks to everyone
for their support (and encouragement).

Once again, the OS X release situation has still not improved, though a
demo 64 bit copy of this version is available (fully featured except that
is has does no saving or restoring of plugin settings, and no plugin
presets).
