July 9th, 2010· It contains only 1 change from 2.8.10, but its an important one: Do not prevent transport operations after an export (and potentially at other times)
June 2nd, 2010· Although this is primarily a bug-fix release, some of the "bugs" fixed are so pervasive and significant that they could almost count as new features. In particular, automation editing has finally arrived at a place that people with experience on other DAWs may consider actually usable. Issues with alignment of new and existing recorded material are addressed too, and there are lots of other bug fixes for issues small and large (including 3 or 4 crashing bugs). Thanks to motivation provided by the Mixbus project, there are also yet more improvements to AudioUnit plugin handling on OS X. Anybody using Ardour 2.8.7 or earlier should upgrade to enjoy increased stability and better functionality.
February 5th, 2010Fixes:
· Smarter decision making when deciding which in/out configuration to choose when handling an AU plugin that has several.
· When exporting/bouncing/consolidating, tell AU plugins the new processing blocksize so they will actually run during the process. Yes, that means what you think it means.
· Remove use of std::locale() which is utterly and completely broken on OS X, and causes a program to crash if used with any actual national locale.
· Don't reconfigure I/O of AU plugins when they already have the correct I/O configuration

January 24th, 2010· Fixes!
July 13th, 2009· fixes
March 29th, 2009· Track/Bus Templates
· Distributable VST support
· VST preset handling
· VST chunk handling
· AudioUnit state & preset handling
· New playhead-to-{next,previous}-region-boundary variant commands that ignores track selection (on Linux, Windows-LeftArrow or Windows-RightArrow; on OS X, Ctrl-LeftArrow or Ctrl-RightArrow)
· New, thoroughly edited Spanish translation
· New "accurate" crossfade icons
November 25th, 2008Features:
· Overall dramatic improvements in OS X GUI performance
· New action to rotate editor/mixer window stacking
· New action to cycle through mouse modes
· Plugin windows can now have keyboard focus locked to them
· Add missing extensions to exported files based on selected file type
· Loop/Range ruler now visible by default
· Default crossfade is now -3dB cut
· Crossfade presets changed to include -6dB cut and two S-curves (icons sadly not changed yet)
· New support for Wiimote control (experimental, disabled by default and not currently possible on OS X)
· Selected tracks are always visible when scrolling through with select-next-track or select-previous-track
· Skip non-active and hidden tracks with select-previous-track and select-next-track
· Several new tooltips all over the place and better tooltip colors
· On OS X, Button2 can be emulated with
· Ctrl-Option-Button1
· Busses are never auto-connected to physical inputs
· Unmodified clicking in canvas rulers now sets playhead position, similar to existing behaviour in the "real" rulers. Use Ctrl- (Linux) or Command (OS X)-click/drag for new markers/ranges.
· Crossfade-editor specific keybindings: space => play xfade, left-arrow => play fade out, ctrl-left-arrow => dry fade out, right-arrow => play fade in, ctrl-right-arrow => dry fade in
· Drag-n-Drop from OS X Finder now more reliable but no longer supports MP3 or AAC (will be reverted in
· the future)
· Start position and Sync position clocks added popup region editor
· Better stay-on-top behaviour for certain windows
· LV2 port notification fix for GUI updating
· New German translation
· New post-export nag screen
· Per-track OSC control of solo/mute/rec-enable and gain
Fixes:
· Removed suggestion that users can save while disconnected from JACK
· Corrected reversed handling of "show-editor-mixer" state on startup
· Fixed crasher caused by changing gain with transport stopped & panner bypassed
· Correct reverse logic for making h/w monitoring available given h/w capabilities
· Fix confusing relabelling of plugin bypass button
· Prevent double registration of ALSA sequencer ports
· Correctly initialize JACK timeout parameter when starting JACK
· Ignore triple-clicks on mute/solo/rec-enable button
· Momentary solo/mute now works
· Fix serious error when calculating interpolated
· Curve values (will cause tiny, almost certainly undetectable changes in automation and fade curves, but may also remove clicks)
· Fix quoting in TOC files wrap PBD::Thread... signals in a mutex to avoid crashing during startup as multiple threads "emit" the signal
· Make comboboxes a little bigger on X11
· B|B|T clocks measuring duration now use zero-based values
· New regions created by AudioFilters (Reverse/TimeFX/Transpose) inherit all relevant settings of their ancestor
· Fix for incorrect reading of fade out curve under a few circumstances
· Catch exceptions while loading AudioUnits
· Correct some glitches with playhead motion when looping/reversing
· Fix failure when opening a session by double-clicking the session file icon (OS X)
· Fix loss of "current dialog" tracking when exiting a dialog via a button (could cause crash on next Ctrl-w)
· Detect no-installed-JACK on OS X to avoid silent crashes for new users
October 25th, 2008New Features:
· make libsndfile work with newer versions of FLAC (enables building a version that can open FLAC files)
· tracks in active edit groups now perform playlist operations (create, copy, select) in unison for playlists created for the group
· embedded LV2 GTK GUI support
· allow translated version use on OSX
· add session file type icon for OSX
· shift-click now works to extend marker selections (click one, then shift-click another to select all markers between them)
· marker drag moves all selected markers
· add initial-program-change support (Ardour can send a MIDI Program Change command on startup to set up external equipment; it can do this at any later time too)
· add move-selected-tracks-{up,down} commands
· add global option to enable/disable region fades
· enable activate/deactivate fades in all selected regions
· global option to hide/show region fades
Fixes and Improvements:

· eliminate the double-draw during zoom on linux
· fix track+strip ordering issues when sync editor+mixer order is enabled
· fix for bad synchronization with other JACK transport-aware clients
· fix reload & use of MIDI port configuration, so that per-session setup is actually used
· fix URLs for freesound access
· new swedish translation
· fix handling of MIDI pitchbend message
· handle missing pixmap files more gracefully
· Fix import dialog clocks to display times that are correct in the current session
· fix up generation of BWF field contents to avoid truncation and use correct date
· stop AU plugins that fail to load (e.g. missing dongles) from crashing ardour
· handle JACK stopping without crashing
· fix audio glitches caused by plugin automation events
· fix crash when clicking on certain region list items
· security fix for libsndfile FLAC handling
· fix position of canvas "time cursor" during dragging
· make fonts smaller on location dialog buttons

· change design for how certain region list items operate if there are multiple regions selected
· allow glue-to-bars-and-beats to be toggled for all selected regions
