<p> Ardour 4.7 is now available, including a variety of
improvements and minor bug fixes. The two most significant
changes are: </p>
<ol>
<li>A new dialog that shows a detailed and wide-ranging
analysis of the audio file(s) generated by export. It
shows waveform, spectral and level distribution views as
well as peak and true peak level information and allows
for previewing of the exported files. <em>The development
of this dialog was sponsored by Harrison Consoles, and
represents another great example of their collaborative
engagement with the Ardour development process.</em> </li>
<li>The greatly improved version of Mackie Control support
that we're really excited about. Ardour's support for
these devices is now very close to where we want it to be
in terms of using the visibly obvious features of most
Mackie Control surfaces. We still plan to go deeper into
plugin control and more in future releases. </li>

Excellent! I've just had a quick play with my X-Touch. Before, many
of the buttons wouldn't light up and only refreshed when you banked
tracks but now the Rec, Solo and Mute are working fine. There are
some buttons which light up but don't cancel, like the F function
ones and the Faderbank < button, but it's no big deal -- having
the Rec, Solo and Mute buttons working properly now IS a big deal as
the visual feedback is what makes it useful and usable. <br>
<br>
The Track and Send encoder assign functions are cool, I'm not sure
I'll get much use out of them but I'm sure they'll be useful for
others. I'll be eagerly awaiting plugin control :-)<br>
<br>
The more I dive into it, the more excited I'm getting! Superb work,
thanks everybody!<br>

<p> The full list of changes is shown below. </p>

</p>
<h2>Additions</h2>
<ul>
<li>New Post-Export Analysis window<br>
</li>
<li>Add display of signal level during latency measurement</li>
<li>Add support/options for the Presonus FaderPort
footswitch</li>
<li>OSC: allow logging/debugging of incoming messages</li>
<li>OSC: add new messages addresses to allow enhanced
control with TouchOSC</li>
<li>Add a "zoom-to-10-seconds" action/menu item</li>
<li>Add an "record-enable all tracks" action/menu item</li>
<li>Add option to always use mouse position for zoom focus,
making zoom scroll behaviour consistent across rulers and
main track area</li>
<li>New MIDI binding map for Akai MPK Mini, and Novation
LaunchKey 25</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Improvements</h2>
<ul>
<li>Turn out all lights on a Presonus FaderPort when exiting
the program</li>
<li>Duplicate range can now work with multiple time ranges</li>
<li>When using stationary playhead mode, keep the playhead
centered</li>
<li>Group edit dialog is no longer modal, so you can
continue working while it remains visible.</li>
<li>Take snap settings into account when stretching regions</li>
<li>"Insert Time" now ignores mouse as the edit point, just
like "Remove Time"</li>
<li>Implement MIDI device enumeration and latency
calibration for the Windows audio backend (PortAudio)</li>
<li>Allow removing the timespan name from export filenames</li>
<li>Subtly improve general scrolling behaviour in editor
window</li>
<li>Improve import of ProTools 5 sessions</li>
<li>Add preliminary support for import of ProTools 10 and 11
sessions</li>
<li>Better support for VST plugins with an interest in
transport state</li>
<li>Make it clear that a missing plugin may have been
blacklist</li>
<li>Improve the accuracy of the tap-tempo estimator</li>
</ul>
<h2>Fixes</h2>
<ul>
<li>Various fixes for incorrect visibility of MIDI ghost
notes in the GUI when editing.</li>
<li>Toggle transport state (normally bound to the space bar)
now works even when using JACK Transport</li>
<li>Fix incorrect movement of regions glued to BBT time
after a tempo change</li>
<li>Improve handling of MIDI note selection in the GUI,
dramatically speeding up some operations in larger
sessions</li>
<li>Generic MIDI: midi controller buttons now trigger only
on the push message, not the release</li>
<li>Generic MIDI: if a CC message is bound to a toggle
control, toggle the control only when the incoming value
is greater than 0x40 (64)</li>
<li>Force LV2 plugins to save some state when creating track
or session templates</li>
<li>Fix ipMIDI support on Windows (affects use of SSL
Nucleus control surface)</li>
<li>Fix behaviour of fader numeric displays when leaving an
active automation state</li>
<li>Allow use of UTF8 characters in filenames during export</li>
<li>Fix an unlikely, subtle bug on OS X when the list of
available audio devices is changed by the operating system
(e.g. device hotplugging)</li>
<li>Fix a crash when an export is cancelled before it
finishes</li>
<li>Fix display of MIDNAM-provided note names while dragging
MIDI notes</li>
<li>Fix crash when right (context) clicking in the name box
of the selected track</li>
<li>Fix inactive MIDI track headers on session reload</li>
<li>Fix failure to show text selection in track name entry
boxes</li>
<li>OS X: Cmd-<key> now works in some situations where
it was failing before</li>
<li>Avoid generating zero-byte files when exporting using
normalize + trim silence at end</li>
