REAPER 2.5

NEW GOODIES
- Action: detect tempo, create measure from time selection (new or current time signature, one bar or many)
- Action: extend or swap selection to next transient in selected items
- Action: move items left/right by grid
- Action: set/adjust arrange view grid size
- Action: move cursor to next/prior zero crossing (Z, shift+Z by default)
- Action: split item at prior zero crossing (alt+Z by default)
- Action: move cursor to nearest transient in selected items
- Action: adjust item rate while clearing preserve pitch
- Action: set/clear item "preserve pitch" setting
- Action: select all tracks in groups 1..32
- Action: create chromatic MIDI notes from selected items
- Shift+3/4,5/6 now map to item rate changes (10-cent, semitone), clearing preserve pitch
- JS: utility/volume_pan with parameter smoothing (for use with param modulation)
- JS: utility/phase_adjust now handles stereo (phase rotates each channel, not the stereo image)
- JS: delay_sustain effect
- JS: vca_master and vca_slave for emulating VCA-style control using audio routing
- JS: spectropaint effect (woohoo spectral painting for fun!), fixes to gfxanalyzer and gfxspectrograph
- New mute and solo button context menus with toggle/exclusive/clear options
- Add-FX dialog: remembers recent searches in dropdown list
- MIDI editor: rename current MIDI take from MIDI editor menu
- Option to disable alt key opening menus in main, midi editor, mixer windows
- Render stem actions now render pre-fader signal, new actions for old post-fader stems behavior
- Prefs/editing behavior: slider for tab-to-transient sensitivity
- Glue: glues items to project samplerate if project samplerate is set
- Routing matrix: fixed some scrollbar bugs, improved tooltips, added track grouping view
- Saving a project with copy/move that has media loaded into ReaSamplomatic and ReaVerb now copies that media to project directory
- Option in Prefs/Appearance to allow choosing track group display modes (ribbons, lines, none)

SUBTLE IMPROVEMENTS
- Better pooling of media file resources for better RAM use (especially with lots of splits)
- Better automatic track naming, updating of UI on autoname
- Better pooling of pitch shifter resources (track-pooled to avoid excess reinitializations)
- Undo system: reduced memory use throughout (better granularity etc)
- WavPack: updated to 4.50, fixed bug in metadata reading, BWF tag read/write
- Recording volume/pan automation with ganged/grouped tracks is now supported
- Better ganged/grouped vol/pan fader behavior (relative levels not lost at extremities)
- MIDI media items no longer reset CCs at end, just pitch and notes
- ReaEQ: better deferred display updating, uses LICE bitmaps (todo: full LICE conversion)
- Removed excess ini file writing resizing midi editor CC lane
- Removing presets in preset list now cleans up the preset file more

FIXED STUFF
- MCP: multiple track selection follows MCP track order and visibility
- Shift+Click for time selection behaves better with snap and other options
- Shift+Click for loop selection in ruler now works correctly when time+loop selections locked
- Fixed touch automation on track mutes
- Screenset window now updates shortcuts when using alternate recording section
- Prefs/Keyboard is back, has link to actions window
- Improved threadsafeness of media creation and peak cache system
- Fixed relative grid actions in midi editor showing display
- Fixed auto-add of envelope setting initial (t=0) value
- Fixed crash on JS with only outputs and opening pin manager
- Fixes for tab to transient and zero crossing detection for heavily stretched items
- Improved behavior of preference to not allow projects to override audio hardware sample rate
- Fix for ReaNINJAM problems introduced in 2.45 (ogg end of stream behavior)
- Fixed GDI leak in ReaEQ added in 2.42 (nyquist line drawing)
- Fixed GDI leak in skinned-scrollbar code
- Restore MIDI editor note row display state when reopening a project
- AU: update generic UI on factory default preset loading
- Fix for JS with only outputs crashing when plugin pin matrix opened
- Fix for preset system storing large presets (ini file line size issue)
- Fix for parameter modulation/automation reading when "run fx when stopped" is disabled
- Moved many JS fx from old_unsupported back to their authors path
