optimizations were made to redraw performance on OS
X/macOS that may be apparent if you are using Ardour
on that platform. There were further improvements to
tempo and MIDI related features and lots of small
improvements to state serialization. Support for the
Presonus Faderport 8 control surface was added (see
the manual for some quite thorough documentation).

hundreds of other fixes based on continuing feedback
from Ardour users worldwide.
