    · 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



    What's new in Ardour 2.7:

    Features:
    · 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



    What's new in Ardour 2.6.1:

    New 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:

    · massive improvements for OS X GUI speed and responsiveness
    · 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

    · 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
    · improve performance when dragging multiple regions on the same track
    · reduce some redrawing of clocks
    · Speed up track resizing
    · fix disappearing automation controls when automation track has been made minimum size.
    · 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
    · Set add route dialog non-resizeable so that Window Managers size it more sensibly (looked ridiculous in ion3).
    · repeated time stretches/pitch shifts on the same region now use the correct original data
    · new grid line cache to speed up scrolling and grid display in general
    · fit-tracks now ignores (and hides) "in-the-middle" unselected tracks
