Ardour 3.5.74 is released to make sure that a variety of very
useful fixes plus a couple of functional improvements are
available to as many users as possible. If you use Ardour with
one of our translations, you should almost certainly update,
because there we have fixed lot of subtle breakage caused by
the translation process. For others, read over the changes and
you can decide for yourself if you would benefit from an
update.

<p>
Read on below for more information on what was in 3.5.74 ...
</p>
<h2 class="">Functional Changes</h2>
<p>
</p><ul><li>Unify editor + mixer ordering. After more than a decade
of complexity, Ardour now has only a single ordering of tracks
& busses. Modifying it in the editor window or the mixer window will also
modify it in the other window. This reduces some tricky programming, and
removes another choice offered to users that really just
their lives more complex, with no great benefit.
</li><li>
Double-clicking now allows editing/renaming an expanded set of
things, including regions and markers of various kinds.
</li></ul>
<h2 class="">Fixes and Improvements</h2>
<ul><li>Fix handling of the check button in the memory lock warning dialog</li><li>partially fix NSM support so that random use of NSM_URL doesn't cause crashes</li><li>fix MIDI quantization where a region was trimmed at the start or had an
non-integer position</li><li>fix MIDI note lengths after quantization when using swing</li><li>place new routes after highest-numbered selected route, if any</li><li>make fixed IO port names untranslatable (e.g. "MTC in")</li>
<li>fix playback & capture channel counts when using the JACK dummy backend</li><li>fix MMC after changes included in 3.5 release</li><li>allow the use of the environment variable
ARDOUR_LOVES_STUPID_TINY_SCREENS to override Ardour's refusal to show
certain things on netbook/tablet-sized screens</li><li>Fix invalid silence trimmer end-of-input behavior during export. This caused corruption in the audio file when:
normalizing AND adding silence to end AND having more than one channel.</li><li>make translations just work on OS X if system preferences has been used to
select a supported language preference.</li><li>minor fixes based on various compiler optimization messages</li><li>keep processing LV2 Ringbuffer once it is allocated, but
discard messages in LV2PluginUI::write_to_ui() if the
ringbuffer exists but the plugin GUI is not active. This fixes "[ERROR]: Error writing from plugin to UI" messages
if the plugin GUI was once active but has been closed since.</li></ul>
<h2 class="">Build Related Fixes</h2>
<ul><li>remove all "fuzzy translations", thus fixing several problems experienced by
users working in non-English locales</li><li>allow linking against unbundled versions of libltc, rubberband, taglib and
vamp-sdk)</li><li>allow complete overriding of all optimization flags (if -O<something> is
preset in the arguments given to --arch, we no longer prepend the default
optimization flags)</li><li>fix test builds (./waf configure --test)</li></ul>
