Snapshots:

Note: Send envelopes should now be stored/recalled correctly with Snapshots (long standing bug) as of SWS v2.10.0, though it hasn't been tested much. Since snapshots are based on state chunks, changes within automation items (AI) envelopes are not stored/recalled currently (FR), though AI properties (e.g. position) should be recalled correctly. Also note that when deleting an AI and trying to recall a previously stored snapshot which contains this AI it won't be recalled correctly.

v2.0.0 #1 (January 19, 2011)

BETA: CAUTION !
Due to a change in the way S&M.ini file is managed, you may face some issues when switching between SWS official <-> SWS beta.
Well, a clean upgrade is automatically managed when SWS official -> SWS beta, but you'll probably loose your FX Chains setup when switching back to SWS beta -> SWS official.
So a backup of the "official" S&M.ini might be a good idea (or sticking with the beta as the new S&M.ini format won't change).

Short changelog:


Changelog details:

Added S&M Resources window
The "FX chains" view turned into a "Resources" window: FX chains + Track templates + goodies
The same features that exist for FX chains are now available for track templates too. A cool thing now is that we can patch existing tracks with track templates (and not only  "add track template as new track"). Well, some other sort of snapshots..
Also, saving track templates and FX chains is eased thanks to the "auto-save" feature, see below. A new feature "Auto-fill" also allows creating slots automatically.
Bonus: check out Tallisman's awesome FX Chain library, here!

Updated SWS Autocolor view: now also features auto track icon (the view has been renamed into "SWS Auto Color/Icon"), demo here.
Rmk: your current color configurations will be preserved when upgrading..

S&M Notes/help view updates:
Remark: here's an anim showing how to use notes, action help & online help

S&M Live Configs updates:

S&M Cue buss:

S&M house cleaning:

Other S&M updates/fixes:

Issue 225: Fixed selected text in Notes/help view when switching between docker tabs
