REAPER 7.56: Someone doesn't know their audience

Track panels
add new infoblock control to display contextual track information (optional, enable via Theme Adjuster script)
click infoblock area to enable/disable displaying various contextual information
infoblock implemented via tcp_infoblock images, fallback text is used if tcp_infoblock is not found
Render
add render peaks display option to show file length in samples
add render setting to enable/disable parallel postprocessing
support rendering stereo and/or multichannel to per-channel mono files, via postprocessing dialog
disable 2nd pass render option when normalizing video render
fix auto-incrementing filename when rendering to both primary and secondary formats •
fix possible 1-sample file length discrepancy when rendering media items on multiple tracks •
fix rendered file length discrepancies that can occur in certain circumstances •
fix rendered file length when processing at project sample rate, resampling to final sample rate, and rendering multiple project regions (7.37 regression)
if not postprocessing, finalize rendered files for each timeline range before rendering the next timeline range
ignore saved project setting to bring FX online after load when rendering from the command line
improve render speed when rendering many files and using FX that introduce latency •
improve render speed when rendering many very short files •
update render statistics more efficiently during render
internal changes to filename handling and metadata
limit display of rendered file list dropdown to about 100 files
properly flush synth plug-ins when normalizing video render
resolve wildcards like $item, $itemnotes even when not rendering selected items, by finding the media item within the render that best matches the rendered time range
Auto-increment
support separate preferences for 'save new version of project' suffix and 'auto-increment filename' suffix
set default filename suffix to '-001' (revert to pre-7.45 behavior), keep 'save new version of project' suffix as '_001'
add preference to ensure file number comes after all existing similarly named files in the directory •
add preference to treat _ (underscore) and - (hyphen) as interchangeable when auto-incrementing filenames
allow space characters in auto-increment suffix (for example, ' 001')
Batch converter
fix converting only selected files when unselected, unconverted files exist
ignore $chid wildcard when not imploding/exploding
support sorting file list
Click source
support following project tempo / time signature while customizing click pattern
support setting to half speed
Joysticks
actions/buttons to reinitialize MIDI devices also re-open joystick devices
opening configuration from device that failed to open will try to re-open the device if found
macOS
allow plug-ins to request access to system cameras
improve display/handling of truncated UTF-8 strings •
Media import
set take extension attribute ORIGINAL_FILENAME when media is copied to project path on import •
if media contains unambiguous tempo information in cue/marker metadata, use it when tempo-matching
ReaScript
clarify documentation for gfx_measurechar() •
fix GetMediaSourceFileName() for section/reverse sources •
Ruler
add support for minutes:seconds (minimal) display format
fix performance issues/hangs at nonsensically-high measure offsets
make label interval and tick mark spacing consistent when ruler display format is set to either time or frames
Wildcards
support $chid (channel ID), for use when rendering stereo/multichannel to mono files, ignored otherwise
support $chid{N}(...) to name channels when exploding N-channel file, ignore for other channel counts •
support $projectnotes and $projectnotes(key) to display specific lines from project notes, see wildcard help for more information
Windows
fix tooltip UTF-8 display errors when long strings are truncated
improve display/handling of truncated UTF-8 strings for display and accessibility •
Actions menu
if multiple key/MIDI bindings are mapped to recent actions, show all bindings in menu item
Appearance
do not draw new (7.55+) media item left edge overlay if media item is only a few pixels wide •
Audio Units
prevent dropping of MIDI messages in certain instances
Command line
fix command line render occasionally canceling itself •
Debug console
use fixed width font for debug console
Filtering
fix case matching for various non-ASCII characters that do not fold to ASCII
Glue
fix glue when preference set to create new MIDI as .mid files (7.46 regression) •
JSFX
avoid file_open(xml) trying to open files as MusicXML
Media explorer
don't cancel incomplete peaks preview build when seeking with crossfade enabled •
Media item properties
support displaying and editing take section source start and length in time, beats, samples, or frames
Metronome
support setting to half speed
MIDI
avoid potential dropped notes at end of MIDI items
MIDI editor
add option in View menu to disable displaying note names on piano roll keys •
Parameter modulation
increase precision of configuration display •
Ripple
import media preference 'insert empty space when ripple is enabled' also affects pasting media (when disabled, existing media that starts to the left of the import position is unaffected) •
Section source
avoid drift when looping sections that are not a whole number of samples (5.20 regression)
Shutdown
optimize unloading FX at exit
Tempo markers
fix editing tempo when tempo change position is in beats and previous tempo marker is set to gradually transition tempo •
WMF
improve support for high unicode code points in filenames
Worker threads
optimize thread cleanup process
Zoom
when maximum project length is set, decrease horizontal zoom-out limit
