Features
- on OS X, direct support for import of all file types supported by CoreAudio, including MP3 and AAC. Linux users can take comfort: there is ongoing work to offer similar capabilities on their platform.
- per-track faders in editor window
- Freesound integration (direct searching and download of samples from Freesound) via the Import dialog.
- Vertical auto-scrolling (if you drag a region off the top or bottom of the editor, the editor "canvas" will scroll just as it does now with left/right scrolling)
- AU GUIs basically working (issues remain with SmartElectronix plugins but we're working them to fix the situation)
- AU automation working
- New option to create xrun markers on the location markerbar
- Tape Machine monitoring mode ( description)
- Rubberbanding Snaps to Grid (self explanitory I hope, defaults to off)
- Per-track gain faders in the editor window (when the track height is large enough)
- dynamic discovery & loading of keybindings
- Locked Edit mode disallows sliding regions in time. Override by holding 3rd mouse button
- Font size scaler in Windows -> Preferences -> Misc
- MIDI auto-rebinding patch (the first N controllers always control the first N tracks in the mixer, no matter which tracks they are)

Improvements
- Updated French translation
- Newly added audio (recorded/imported/embedded) is not analyzed by default (an option exists to control this). if you use "split at percussive onsets" frequently, you may want to turn the option on to avoid having to do the analysis on demand.
- New menu arrangement (less clutter, more logical for the most part)
- Enforce unique names for playlists, busses and tracks
- Pop up warning dialog for massive split operations
- Try to make adding lots of regions (e.g. from split-at-points) scale a bit better
- Splash screen displays startup/progress messages
- New grabber mouse edit point cursor used when edit point is set to mouse and the mouse is in object mode
- Allow ardour to use the (hard) maximum number of open files
Make import GUI report if you are importing a file of a name that already exists in the session.
- super-optimize meter drawing
- Remove beat entry from meter dialog (beats are not allowed in API)
- Notably speed up startup time by deferring track display untl the GUI is idle
- Put focus in plugin search entry when plugin selector is shown
- New FREEDESKTOP scons option installs desktop MIME entry and .desktop file. Also uses fd.o standard names and locations for icons.
- Minimize clock redrawing
- Rearrange icons/presets on xfade editor to be symmetric
- Add CAF to list of likely audio file suffixes
- Add a quick file type icon.
- Improvements on the FFT analysis tool:
Enable FFT analysis by default
FFT graph is now drawn using Cairo
The window is now a window instead of a dialog
Analysis window can be resized
The view can be switched between normalized and an absolute value
The minimum and maximum values for a graph can be shown
- Enable icon-start-from-.ardour-file to work on OS X
- Ignore dbl-clicks on mute/solo/rec-enable buttons since they make the user-experience feel inconsistent

Fixes
- AU plugins work on PPC
- copy-n-paste of AU plugins working
- fix problem where peakfile is slightly older than audio data even though it is ready
- prevent flush_pending() calls from "top menu" items on OS X from locking the GUI
- fix splashscreen crash
- fix problems with files being needlessly re-analysed at startup
- Fix bug which caused the current import logic to select existing file name as target file when importing. This caused the newly imported file to be concatenated after the original data.
- fixed uninitialized variable that made ardour scrub at the wrong times
- fix deadlock in playlist::partition();
- fix up meter thread management when JACK client starts/stops/is halted
- fix Playlist::partition_internal() to avoid acting on regions that should not be operated on given the range provided ;
- fix locate-play-locate
- make AudioRegion::master_read() obey length limit of (first) master source, not the region length
- fixes from chris cannam for rb_effect bugs
- fix up BWF creation
- fix silly error in removing channels from audio_diskstream
- (OS X native: don't write dynamic pango.rc into app.bundle)
- use Glib::get_home_dir() rather than HOME for user_ardour_path
- make feature lines (rhythm ferret etc) scale with zoom and hide them whenever RF hides
- properly install apple event handlers
- change plugin add logic to avoid asking for stream counts before they would be configured
- fix up new session dialog to not use manage(), and thus not throw away widgets when their page is hidden (by removal) in the tabbed browser
- fix untranslated string comparison of import mode names when comparing with whatever the user selected
- fix dragging that involves locked regions
stop crash occuring when carrying out playlist partitions in empty playlists

better presentation of options
resampling quality control
new JACK control dialog
if you don't want to use qjackctl and don't require and external JACK patcher (i.e. "Let me just run Ardour, dammit!") this dialog will allow you to configure JACK. It only appears (as a tab in the new session dialog) if JACK is not running when Ardour is started.
mouse scrubbing
switch to mouse audition mode
button1-press and drag
separate MMC device ID's for send & receive
range context menus modified for greater clarity and simplicity
crossfades involving transparent regions now work appropriately
click or drag in rulers works better
update click data when sample rate changes

provide limits to saved undo history depth
optionally tie editor & mixer display order together
provide GUI control for timecode-slave-is-synced
make Ctrl-w close any dialog
generate peakfiles for embedded files asynchronously
metering now works more appropriately with no inputs
big clock is always on top
reduce memory usage during I/O from multichannel audio files
change window visibility during startup
use new translation domains, to avoid ardour 0.99 and ardour 2.X from colliding when installed in parallel
new option (only-copy-imports) to avoid creating sessions that reference external audio files (i.e. all audio is either native, copied or hard-linked into the session)
retain MIDI control information for plugin parameters

Changes since 2.0.4:
code builds on OS X and older Linux systems (side-effect: reduced memory utilization by automation data)
font sizes parametized (to allow easier maintainance of themes) on OSX & Linux
crash revealed by GTK+ 2.11 (unstable new version of GTK) fixed

Changes since 2.0.3:
protect ardour from sessions with errant capture sources stored in the (pending) session state. This was a major bug that has affected many people over the last several releases. It is now fixed.
add Theme Manager, including new "light" theme
add delta-cursor option from trunk (allows clock to display the gap between the edit+playback cursors)
massively increase automation resolution
support for 16 bit native file format
stop audio clocks from vanishing when turned off
plugin selection dialog now has filtering by name, type, author and more
permit GUI user-driven add/remove of MIDI ports
fix for radio grouping of subframes menu options
fix crossfade editor-induced crashing
safeguard against false disk underruns when punching in
correctly save user-modified keybindings to ~/.ardour2/ardour.bindings
fixes for building against GTK-OSX (Ardour now builds and runs on OS X without X11 - this is a source code feature, the DMG for OSX will still use X11 for now)
lots and lots of work to the Mackie Control surface support (many small changes and incremental improvements)

- New Features:
alternate file name filters for the soundfile browser (allow user to see all files, not just guesses at audio files)
switch monitoring default to external
add declicking xfades when looping
new denormal handling options, including both DC bias and processor feature choices
Added/improved the ability to record while the transport is looping. This works for both Internal (seamless) and JACK sync, new regions are created each cycle around the loop and stacked on top of each other. It is recommended for now that automatic crossfades be turned off when doing this. Punch-In/Out may be used also.
added basic support for the Griffin Powermate "big knob+button" controller

- Bug Fixes:
correct middle button bindings on redirect names
fix use of .ardour rather than .ardour2 for VST presets
correct problems with redirect/insert dialogs being invisible

allow middle-click pasting in several dialogs
fix diskstream deletion crash after track removal
fix crashes caused by clicking in region list when there is no associated region for that line
better default buttons+icons for crossfade editor
move clock modes from submenu to top level
stop undo/redo from duplicating plugins and more

Fix naming-related issue when adding multiple busses at the same time
