Hi everybody,

Bitwig Studio 1.3.8 RC-1 is available for download on http://www.bitwig.com/en/download.html. Here is the list of changes:

FIXED - Crash when trying to select parent device via controller API.
FIXED - Controller API: crash when diving into FX layers using Push4Bitwig script.
FIXED - When dropping raw audio events into a clip the successive audio event sometimes gets deleted.
FIXED - Audio engine always crashes if user selects weird buffer sizes on ALSA.
FIXED - Clicking on clip launcher scene clears the note editor content in tablet mode.
FIXED - Recording with punch in and pre-roll causes clips to be recorded on the arranger with negative time.
FIXED - Note length changes when single-clicking inspector note length field for a multi-selection.
FIXED - If you get an error saving a project when closing it the project should not be closed.
FIXED - Stop button on group track in clip launcher is not lit, so looks like you can't press on it.
FIXED - Using forward slashes ("/") in track names leads to the creation of subdirectories when exporting audio.
FIXED - Controller API: allow to launch either group track scenes or the clips of the group's master track via clip launcher interface.
FIXED - Controller API: cursor device does not work on tracks that have been created by a track bank.
FIXED - Controller API: crash when calling selectFirstInSlot on named device cursor.
FIXED - Controller API: cursorTrack.addCanSelectNextObserver reports the same value as addCanSelectPreviousObserver.
FIXED - Using punch out results in instrument track recording stopping slightly before the loop end.
FIXED - Eraser tool affects all layers in layered audio editor instead of just the target layer.
FIXED - Controller API: macros of devices in FX slots cannot be accessed when slot is closed in the GUI.
FIXED - Crash when duplicating additive tempo modulation points inside a clip on the clip launcher.
FIXED - If you bounce a note clip that is recorded with preroll all bounces contain one bar of silence at the beginning of the bounced audio file.
FIXED - Dragging automation time selection for clip modulation resulted in wrong preview and wrong data inserted on drop.
FIXED - Pinning device for a selected preset in popup browser would not allow unpin if the plugin no longer existed.
FIXED - Pasting of clip modulation inserts wrong data.
FIXED - A duplicated audio track reverts to the first hardware input if the source track had another hardware input selected.
IMPROVED - Made touch-tap recognition more reliable on Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 and other devices with very high pixel-density.
IMPROVED - Touch: The radial gestures menu for devices in the device chain is now only available from the device header, as it was too easy to move/copy devices by accident. .
IMPROVED - Improved algorithm used for delay-compensation including fixes for modulation routing and complex side-chaining.
IMPROVED - Don't have separate browser, inspector, mapping browser for each mode (PLAY, EDIT, ARR, MIX) in the tablet profile. Instead just one for all of the modes.
IMPROVED - Support Jack input and output latency compensation.
IMPROVED - Rescan plugin option not available for shelled plugins and only shown in presets browser not in device browser.
IMPROVED - Show path to selected file in popup browser and make it clickable to select a parent folder.

Best wishes from the Bitwig Team!

1.3.7 was a just a build in between during NAMM times without a changelog... nothing to worry about.

Cheers,
Dom

Thanks! Didn't show up yet in the 'check for updates' but downloading already. ;)

It is a release candidate (RC) and not the final 1.3.8 yet.
Release candidates don't show up as official updates.

Cheers,
Dom

Yes!! More stability improvements.

It's not clear from the bug fix list, but did the bug where plugins reset to default state on crashes get fixed yet?

Please, bring the matter to an end. PDC into note MOD is not working as expected.

The controller API docs are still missing in the Windows install.
