> Additions
> 
>    - New Post-Export Analysis window
>    - Add display of signal level during latency measurement
>    - Add support/options for the Presonus FaderPort footswitch
>    - OSC: allow logging/debugging of incoming messages
>    - OSC: add new messages addresses to allow enhanced control with TouchOSC
>    - Add a "zoom-to-10-seconds" action/menu item
>    - Add an "record-enable all tracks" action/menu item
>    - Add option to always use mouse position for zoom focus, making zoom
>    scroll behaviour consistent across rulers and main track area
>    - New MIDI binding map for Akai MPK Mini, and Novation LaunchKey 25
>    - Add a button to the Audio/MIDI Setup dialog to choose between the
>    callback and blocking version of the Windows audio/MIDI I/O backend. There
>    still appear to be devices and conditions where one of these choices gives
>    better results than the other, but unfortunately no way to tell without
>    just trying them both.

> Improvements
> 
>    - Turn out all lights on a Presonus FaderPort when exiting the program
>    - Duplicate range can now work with multiple time ranges

>    - Take snap settings into account when stretching regions
>    - "Insert Time" now ignores mouse as the edit point, just like "Remove
>    Time"
>    - Implement MIDI device enumeration and latency calibration for the
>    Windows audio backend (PortAudio)
>    - Allow removing the timespan name from export filenames
>    - Subtly improve general scrolling behaviour in editor window
>    - Improve import of ProTools 5 sessions
>    - Add preliminary support for import of ProTools 10 and 11 sessions

>    change
>    - Improve handling of MIDI note selection in the GUI, dramatically
>    speeding up some operations in larger sessions

>    templates

>    automation state
