Voxengo Peakbuster 1.7 update

[Aleksey Vaneev]

Peakbuster 1.7 is available - it features a new "M3+" mode with a more intense resonance smoothing action. Also residue/delta monitoring gains were updated.

This update includes the following changes:

* Improved audio-UI interoperability, to reduce a chance of audio stutter happening when UI is active.
* Improved "M3" mode's performance - this change is backwards-compatible.
* Changed "FX1" mode's gain for better operation. This change is not backwards-compatible.
* Added the "M3+" mode, which is a more intense variant of the "M3" mode.
* Increased "R" mode's gain when listening to "M3" and "M3+" modes.
* Further fix to HiDPI VST3 GUI resizing issue in Cubase, on Windows.
* Fixed occasional GUI flickering on macOS (due to usage of Device RGB color-space, now it is sRGB).

What does it means ? If I recall a song with Peakbuster on it using the old FX1 algo, will it sound different with Peakbuster 1.7 ?

Exactly, it will be 6 dB off then.

Yes, gains would change when moving between versions. Unfortunately, I've found a very large mistake regarding output gain in FX1 mode - it was 6 dB higher than it should have been. You can easily correct that in older projects by increasing OutGain by 6. Since historically plugin does not store its version in presets I was unable to apply automatic correction on preset load.

I understand that may be a bit of a disaster, and I always try to maintain backwards compatibility in updates, but FX1 was very off - not good towards new users.
