    * - Session reloading with lot of Flux:: plug-ins inserted loading time reduced and authorization check enhanced.
    * - Authorization could randomly failed.
    * - Some compatibility issues with Pyramix 6.1
    * - Some session reloading problems in AudioUnit, that can lead to incorrect plug-in parameters

    # All VST 2 Channels plug-ins

    # Alchemist
    * - Optimization about morphing slider, when morphing a lot of parameters.
    * - Invert phase was not working correctly.
    * - Compare function in Protools was broken
    * - Some Automation bugs fix... Because of this fix, by default Alchemist will no more read correctly Automation data recorded with the previous version. To support old automation, you must set up the Automation old mode support. Please note that this mode is deprecated for new projects: you should disble it before creating new sessions.
    o Windows: Go in the "Start" Menu → "All Programs->Flux:: sound and picture development" and click on "Enable Old Automation support". Click on "Disable old Automation support" to come back in the new mode (Recommended for new project).
    o MacOS: Open a terminal (located in the Applications => Utilities folder) and set up the mode via the following command:
    defaults write com.gaelyvan.flux.plugins HandleOldAutomation -bool YES
    (validate by pressing "return" keyboard button).
    To Delete this preference, set the following command:
    defaults write com.gaelyvan.flux.plugins HandleOldAutomation -bool NO.
    (validate by pressing "return" keyboard button).

    This is a great plug-in, and does everything it says it does with a cool GUI. The only downside is that it seems to use a lot of CPU, and causes quite a bit of latency if you don't have "All" latency compensation activated in Logic Pro 8.
