MusE v0.9pre1 released

Version 0.9pre1 of MusE is now available. This is the first pre-release of MusE 0.9.

The main feature improvement in 0.9 is the addition of plugin automation as well as fixes to the already present automation features (they actually work now). There is no graphical automation editor as will be present in 1.0, all automatable parameters do however have a right click menu as a working replacement.

There is usage information concerning automation embedded in the ChangeLog so be sure to read the relevant parts. There are also a bunch of other fixes and
improvements, check the ChangeLog for a complete list.
