Release Notes for Seq66 v. 0.99.7 2023-07-19

This file lists __major__ changes in version 0.99.7
    -   Issue #110 follow-ons:
        -   Fixed saving tempo (BPM) in Windows when changed from main
            window. Caused by mixing a long and size_t; messed up in
            Windows builds.
    -   Issue #111 follow-ons:
        -   Fixed initial time-signature drawing in data pane.
        -   Fixed errors in inserting a time-signature.
        -   Added a pulse (tick) calculator to iterate through
            time-signatures.
    -   Fixed an important port-translation bug in output port-mapping.
    -   Revamped the Playlist tab, as it was confusing and very buggy.
    -   Added auto-play and auto-advance to play-lists.
    -   Issue #102: Added Windows key-mapping to fix processing
        "native virtual" keys, such as the arrow keys.
