Assuming we'll eventually publish some form of this curated list, please copy the style from here as closely as possible: https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/releases, specifically category names, case sensitivity. For example, the BBEditor rename would have fallen under "UI Change" in previous releases, "fixed some" -> "Fixed some", etc.

Fixed FreeBoy static and clicks

ehh well… There's still a good amount of clicks, mostly caused by freeboy (correctly, mind you) emulating the DC offset of gameboy audio channels. I've made an issue for that (nr. 6556) which kind of stalled. All of which is to say that this should probably say "Fixed some FreeBoy static and clicks" so nobody gets confused by the remaining ones once 1.3 does come out.

That's a nitpick though, thanks for compiling this list!

@RiedleroD thanks for the nitpick. Updated the list.

Could you replace #6962 with #6985? I consider that whole PR a regression in and of itself (besides the addition of more specific filters and an interface for threaded searching), and #6985 will do the same thing but properly this time.

Rossmaxx commented 8 months ago

@sakertooth done.
