Continuing on with our cycle of monthly releases, 3.5.308 contains a
pile of bug fixes and several very useful new features. Almost entirely the
single-handed work of Robin Gareus, you will find significant changes with
panning, auditioning and the very striking addition of explicitly-displayed
signal router in the mixer strips.
</p>
<p>
As usual you can download it from <a href="https://community.ardour.org/download">the usual
place</a>, and as usual subscribers get this update without
cost. Thanks to everyone for their support (and encouragement).
</p>
<p>
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).
