Rosegarden 10.10 "Betty Prior" Released

The Rosegarden team has announced the release of version 10.10 of Rosegarden, the audio and MIDI sequencer and musical notation editor for Linux. This is a substantial bug-fix release, with fixes in almost every area of the application.

Betty Prior: Rosa 'Betty Prior' was introduced by D. Prior & Sons (England) in 1935. It is an extremely tough, single, pink floribunda that has the distinction of being the longest living survivor in Michael's personal rose garden.
