<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><div class="gmail-cooked"><p>Today, we merged the long-lived nutempo2
development branch into the main branch of Ardour. This means that
starting in a few hours from now, the nightly (really, nychthemeral)
builds will be based on what is essentially still experimental, untested,
unreliable code. We have tagged this as 7.0-pre0. This version of Ardour
uses a new format for the session file (still XML but with some
critical changes).</p>
<p>A pop-up window will warn you about this should you try to run this
version. It will also make a safety backup of the session file.</p>
<p>However, you are <strong>strongly recommended</strong> to <em><strong>NOT USE nightly builds OR SELF BUILDS of the main branch for “actual work” for the foreseeable future.</strong></em></p>
<p>At this time, we are not particularly interested in reports of issues
with 7.0-pre0. We will let people know when that situation changes.</p>
<p>This is a major step forward for Ardour, but it will take us some time to finish the changes and begin more serious testing.</p></div></div></div>
