We are pleased to announce the availability of
Ardour 5.10. This is primarily a bug-fix release, with several
important fixes for recent selection/cut/copy/paste
regressions along with fixes for many long standing issues
large and small.
</p>
<p>
This release also sees the arrival
of VCA slave automation, along with improvements in
overall VCA master/slave behaviour. There are also significant
extensions to Ardour's OSC support.
