========
* SMA editor layout was unintendedly reset whenever a session was loaded.
* When popping up the patch/module list, the mux patches didn't have an icon.
* While dragging envelope points the envelope wasn't played.

Improved Track/Part MIDI channel management:
Tracks and parts now evaluate the target channel apart from the target module.
Sub-tracks can overwrite the midi channel of the main track.
Parts take the midi channel of the track, if any, else they can have their own midi channel.

You can drag-drop modules with [Ctrl] to copy them.
Drag-drop module on the "+" track button = create new track for that module.
You can drag-drop modules and parameters on (envelope) parts.
You can drag-drop a module onto the Focussed Target Module Panel to explicitly play that module from MIDI input.

Multi-Session

Open and play multiple sessions at the same time.
Cut-copy-paste and drag-drop parts and modules from one session to another.

When selecting an output for a rack, all relevant inputs are shown, not only racks and output interfaces.
You can directly drop a .Mux file onto a rack slot.
Alert popups: You can use the first char of the options. But as "Cancel" can be done by by [Esc], it will not eat the [C] from any other option starting with a C. (and so "Close Without Save" can be done via [C] ;))
Improved shortcut handling.
The Session Modular Area window includes the session name.
Improved font system.
Font icons better match the accompanying text and color.
Rack slots also show the module icon.
Individual rack slots can get the GUI focus and this can process shortcuts.

Oscillators: You can drag-drop a wave file onto the display.
When activating a synth editor, then the MIDI focus also is auto switched to this synth.
VST plugin manager: multi selection possible => easier grouping.

Others

Imports MP3 files as samples.
"Save Session As" now uses a new method: MuSessions are saved in a separate folder so that the Audio subfolder becomes more private per session. This will make it more easy to bundle a MuSession into a zip.
New options to to manage the audio/sample files within the session's audio folder.
Rack Sends popup menu now also include 'Copy As Parameter Event'.

New type session menu.
New MidiSetup preference "MidiOutputMicroTimeCompensation".
Fixed: When your computer was up and running for many days without restart, then there could be some practical problems.
Fixed: Possible denormalizations bug.
