 Release Notes 
 
 1.4.5
 
 Xenia:
 
 - [Imp] Add support to load MW1 user waves & tables
 - [Imp] Add ability to export to .syx instead of .mid via drag & drop by 
         holding shift while dragging
 
 1.4.4
 
 NodalRed2x:
 
 - [Fix] It was no longer possible to add new files/folders to patch manager
 
 Xenia:
 
 - [Imp] Add support to load patches from files that include custom waves and
         wavetables
 - [Imp] Wave Editor has been added to create/import/export custom Waves and
         Control Tables
 - [Imp] Custom Waves/Control Tables are now exported with the Patch when
         exporting via Patch Manager
 
 - [Fix] Checksum of exported patches was incorrect due to bug in documentation
 - [Fix] Emulator might get stuck while "Reorganising Memory"
 - [Fix] UI didn't react to parameter changes via MIDI controller messages
 
 OsTIrus:
 
 - [Imp] UI has been reworked with larger filter knobs, better routing visualization,
         selectors for the filter type and more changes to make the plugin 
 		more visually appealing
 
 1.4.3
 
 NodalRed2x:
 
 - [Imp] Added option to export patches from patch manager as .nl2 format, which 
         includes patch names. This was previously always the case for .syx and .mid
 		exports but has now been restricted to .nl2 to ensure compatibility of .syx
 		and .mid exports with hardware devices
 
 - [Fix] Fix plugin getting stuck after 12 hours of use
 
 1.4.2
 
 Framework:
 
 - [Imp] Skinning System: Added ability to add parameter bindings to labels
 - [Imp] Skinning System: Added roughly CSS-based styling system. This allows to
         move properties that are common to all buttons/knobs/etc to a single style
 		to prevent that they need to be repeated for each element.
 		Export the latest NodalRed2x skin to see the new format
 
 - [Imp] Downgraded to Juce 7 to regain compatibility with Windows 7 & fix font
         rendering issues on macOS      
 
 NodalRed2x:

         reason for a deadlock, causing the plugin to hang the DAW. Note that we cannot 
 		reproduce the issue on our test systems, please report back if the issue has 
 		been resolved

         font rendering (default 1 = enabled)
 
 - [Fix] Patch Manager might report file access errors that are not relevant
 - [Fix] Renamed patches might be displayed with previous name when loaded
 
 Osirus:

         MIDI channel

         ~/Documents/The Usual Suspects/<synthname>/patchmanager (Mac)
         [XDG_DATA_HOME or ~/.local/share]/The Usual Suspects/<synthname>/patchmanager (Linux)
         Any existing database in the old location is automatically migrated to
         the new one.

         .vstpreset, .fxb, .fxp files into the plugin to load them. You can drop
         patches on a part to load them directly, drop them on the patch manager
         data sources to add them as new source or drop them onto the user banks
         area to add a new user bank or add them to an existing one

         of the same plugin kind to copy/paste patches across instances
 - [Imp] The patch of the currently selected part can now be copied & pasted via

         - Link/unlink regions across parts
 - [Imp] Added parameter linking across parts. If you link a region of a part to 
         another part, knob movements/automation data/MIDI controls for the 
         source part are forwarded to all parts linked. This eases automation
         for layered instruments

 - [Imp] Region locks are indicated by displaying an overlay next to each locked
         parameter.

         folder manually.

 OsTIrus:
 
 - [Imp] Device samplerate of 48 Khz is now supported, previously only 44,1 KHz was used for the
         Emulation. If 44,1 KHz or 48 Khz is used is automatically determined based on the
         host samplerate.
 - [Imp] The DSP code supports more samplerates than the hardware device was able to handle and
         ranges from 32 Khz to 96 Khz. The samplerate can be overwritten in the advanced options 
         context menu. The chosen samplerate is preserved as part of the plugin state.
