<p>If you use the nightly builds at <a href="http://nightly.ardour.org/">http://nightly.ardour.org/</a> or if
you build your own version of Ardour from git (for yourself or others),
please be aware that at about 20:30 GMT, the master branch was merged
with the "tabbed" branch and thus the resulting builds will be
substantively different from any older versions.</p>
<p>The "tabbed" branch features two important changes from previous
versions of Ardour. First and foremost, both the editor and mixer
windows (along with the preferences window) are by default displayed as
tabs in a single window. The tabs can be torn off to create detached
versions, and the program will remember this state. Secondly, the entire
mechanism for keyboard shortcuts has been completely redesigned to
allow us to break away more easily from the constraints that GTK+ (our
GUI toolkit) was imposing on us.</p>
<p>The "tabbed" branch was under development for months, and has
received some testing by a handful of kind and brave users. We
nevertheless expect some breakage to emerge as more people start trying
it out. </p>
<p><strong>If you use nightly builds or build Ardour yourself from git,
please take a moment to consider the implications of your next "update"</strong>.
That said, please test it out and let us know what you think. There are
lots of details left to be worked on before we consider this ready for
release, and it will be a better release the more feedback we get.</p>
