1.0.0
===============================================================================
WHATS NEW:
* Version number 1.0 and removed BETA status:
Please note that this does not change anything in our ongoing pursuit to
improve the general tracking performance going forward in 1.x releases.
This version is a good reference point for production environments.
Your MIDI Guitar "Projects" and "Recognition Presets" will from now on be
valid in all future versions.
This version is identical to 0.9.7 in terms of tracking and features.

===============================================================================
0.9.7 BETA
===============================================================================
WHATS NEW:
* Fixed issue introduced in 0.9.6 where pitch sensitivity values would be
wrong. This cause bad recognition if (and only if) version 0.9.6 is the first
version of MIDI Guitar you have used.
* Fixed issues with pitch sensitivity sliders.

===============================================================================
0.9.6 BETA
===============================================================================

* Show Config button when selecting audio device with external control panel,
such as ASIO.

copy/delete the AudioUnit and VST to/from the users plug-in folder.
* Fixed issue with 32-bit and 64-bit version sharing saved plugin folder paths.

===============================================================================
0.9.2 BETA
===============================================================================
WHATS NEW:
* Fixed issue with monophonic/polyphonic mode not being set correct on startup
and when switching projects.
* Increased sensitivity range. (You will need to lower the sensitivity slider)
* Minor tracking fixes

===============================================================================
0.9.1 BETA
===============================================================================

===============================================================================
0.9.0 BETA
===============================================================================
WHATS NEW:
* Major tracking improvements (generally more responsive and improved latency).
* Much improved tracking at buffer sizes smaller than 5.8ms (bug in 0.7, 0.8)
* Support for drop D/D# tunings.
* Built in interactive help system and documentation.
* Smaller binary file sizes.
* New "Dynamics" MIDI Machine for dynamics automation as in version 0.7.x
* Fix: No longer sends out MIDI CC-119 streams
* Fix: Various minor fixes

ATTENTION/IMPORTANT:
* Versions 0.7 - 0.8 have had a problem where buffers smaller than 256 at 44.1Kh
would degrade quality tracking considerably. This is fixed in 0.9.
* We discovered that all versions 0.7.x and 0.8.x has a bug which will overwrite
recognition presets (including the default ones) with a uniform/flat pitch
sensitivity iff those presets have been originally created with another version
of MIDI Guitar. This typically has bad impact on tracking. It is now corrected
in 0.9 and forward but please delete or revisit your old recognition presets.
Also make sure you try each of the three default presets again to find the best
setup for your guitar.
