• Fix for possible crash showing clue window on startup.
• Fix for warning message called on invalid object messages when jitter objects are instantiated but jitter is not authorized.
• Fix for crashes when loading jit.vcr or jit.gl.asyncread when jitter is not authorized.
• loadbang in patcher containing poly~ no longer fires inappropriately first time the poly~ reloads its patcher.
• Disabling the debugger now restores original overdrive setting automatically.
• jit.conway:fix for divide by zero crashes with birthmark enabled.
• Watchpoints and breakpoints are disabled for a device open in the MFL editor to avoid crashes.
• When Debug is enabled and an MFL device is open in the editor the debugger will now ignore any breakpoints or watchpoints that are hit from the scheduler thread.

• Window getsize -> thispatcher now works before subpatcher or abstraction window is opened for a first time.
• Preset can now store large multisliders.
• Large multislider no longer crashes when recalled by a preset object through send/receive.
• jit.vcr: fix for crash when Jitter is not authorized.

• pattr: eliminate crash when receiving 'bindto' with no argument.
• windows: no longer drops sysex messages when too many are received too quickly.
• cellblock: Fix calculations for horizontal scrolling boundaries.
• parameters: new attribute to toggle deferral of automation and remote control output to the GUI thread; off by default, this attribute can be used to reduce the frequency of value changes resulting from automation and significantly reduce processor load. In combination with the new parameter_speedlim attribute, device developers now have fairly comprehensive control over the automation of their parameters.
• Fix for CoreAudio support for Tascam US-1641.
• filtergraph~ now has a hfgcolor attribute to set the highlight foreground color.
• cellblock: Improve vertical and horizontal cell visibility calculations.
• cellblock: Implement new 'automouse' attribute and message to disable mouse-drag scrolling.

• jit.gl.texture/slab: fix for memory leak when reading back to jit.matrix.
