Cheers everyone,

   Qtractor 1.3.0 (early-fall'24) is released!

Change-log:
- Use timebase-aware JACK API for relocation; provide `bar_start_tick` 
in JACK Transport/Timebase BBT information.
- Always reset the target bus when copying or moving an Aux-Send insert 
into an audio output bus.
- Mixer: fixed dangling track removal after one of its buses has been 
previously deleted."
- Fixed MIDI clip offset resizing, most especially when drag-moving the 
left-edge.
- Audio Aux-sends inserted on audio output buses are not restricted to 
later buses anymore; the only restriction now is that no cyclic or 
loop-back routes are allowed; audio output buses are now sorted 
internally in-place for correct processing order.
- Update all Aux-Send inserts whenever their respective output bus gets 
renamed or deleted.
- User preference option View/Options.../General/Options/Reverse 
keyboard modifiers role (Shift/Ctrl), now also applying to the play-head 
and/or edit-head/tail re-positioning in the timeline.
- Plug-in name/title alias makes its debut.
- Fixed a partial port-name filtering issue on the MIDI Connections widget.
- Last selected automation curve color is now persistent and the default 
for all later automation curves.
- Connections: connector line colors are now uniquely mapped on a 
(readable/output) client name basis.


Description:
   Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application 
written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, 
where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the 
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main 
infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio 
workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.
