1. Added offline recording mode (right click context menu of the red 'Record' button). If it's enabled you can render wav/mp3 audio at full speed in Bassmidi/VSTi output modes.

2. Extended RMI + SF2 support according to new specification (https://github.com/spessasus/sf2-rmidi-specification).

3. Added ability to identify and restore MIDI In/Out ports by name instead of position.

4. Added MT32->GM/GM->MT32 patch conversion option to Event Viewer/Debugger (Actions menu -> Convert Patches).

5. Added Redirect GS/XG drums to channel 10 compatibility option. This is a TMIDI bug emulation that can be useful for synths that can only use channel 10 as drum channel.

6. Added SSE support detection for x86 and added dynamic loading of last Bassmidi version without SSE requirement when it is needed.
