Release Notes for Seq66 v. 0.99.9 2023-09-24

- Added an "Input Bus Routing" feature, where each pattern can be set to receive events from a given input buss. Selectable from - Refactored and extended zoom support in the song/pattern editors. - Can now select a line in the data pane and grab a handle to change its value. - Implemented automation for BBT/HMS toggling, FF/Rewind, Undo/Redo, Play-set Copy/Paste. - Added more seqroll keystokes. Enabled Esc to exit paint mode if not playing. Added keystroke zoom handling to additional panes. - Added a show-hide build option to allow for a very small window. - Added HTML help files to data/share/doc/info for installation and viewing. Help for hard-wired panel keystrokes. - The usual raft of humiliating bug-fixes: - Fixed nasty segfault opening new file with Editor tab open. - Fixed port-mapping Remap and Restart not restarting Seq66. - Fixed years-long bug in detecting Note-related events. - Fixed error in "quiet" startup that would cause immediate exit. - Fixed error in copying info files in the NSIS build. - Fixed startup error in portmidi with missing ports; however, still broken in the Windows build. See TODO. Read the NEWS, README.md, and TODO files.

 TO DO for Seq66 0.99.9

 Misc:
 
+    -   Windows: If ports are missing, the application just exits (it
+        works fine in the Linux portmidi build). The workaround
+        is save the 'rc' file elsewhere, run the exe, and then
+        merge the port settings back into the original 'rc' file.
     -   In the data pane, for tempo, program change etc., allow them to be
         dragged up and down (at least for tempo).
     -   Next version, document and test mute groups.
