<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">A few days ago,
several development branches were merged into the master branch, and
then a global edit was performed to change all uses of "frame" in an
audio context into "sample". This latter change fixes a design error I
made nearly 20 years ago by using this term; as Ardour's connections to
video and timecode have grown, the "technically correct" aspect of the
terminology has been outweighed by the potential for confusion.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">The
result, tagged 6.0-pre0, is a new state that (a) is NOT guaranteed to
load old sessions (b) will generate new sessions that CANNOT be loaded
by older versions.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">DO
NOT USE git master UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE TESTING A
DEVELOPMENT VERSION THAT IS UNDERGOING SUBSTANTIAL, DEEP CODE REDESIGN.<br><br></div>In
general, I would prefer not to get side-tracked by backward
compatability issues during this phase of development on 6.0. However, <a href="http://tracker.ardour.org" target="_blank">tracker.ardour.org</a> is open and will accept reports on 6.0-pre0 at this point in time.</div></div>
