add FX_GetNamedConfigParm(container_count) for getting number of FX in container

add EnumInstalledFX()

add GetTouchedOrFocusedFX(), support addressing FX containers, deprecate GetFocusedFX2() and GetLastTouchedFX()

add MIDIEditorFlagsForTrack(), to get/set pitchwheel range and snap settings

support using full (unlocalized) action description in Get/SetMouseModifier(), example: SetMouseModifier('Media item left drag', 0, 'Move item')

add GetSetTrackGroupMembership() support for MEDIA_EDIT_LEAD, MEDIA_EDIT_FOLLOW


ARA

display pooled edit button for media items that share ARA edits (similar to pooled MIDI behavior)

list analyzed media files and pooled/unpooled count in FX + menu

support pooling edits by source media, so edits can automatically affect all media items that share the same source media

support pooling or not pooling ARA edits by default (old projects will always load with edits unpooled)

add actions to select media items with pooled ARA edits, remove items from edit pool, return items to edit pool


Backups

add configuration for path to auto-save unsaved projects


CLAP Plugins

automatically scan reaper_resource_path/UserPlugins/FX for .clap plug-ins


Color Theme

new Default 7.0 theme

add preference/theme element for small themed indicator on selected media items

add theme elements for various fixed lane display features (buttons, text, etc)


Defaults

ReaEQ adds default HPF band 5 (disabled by default)


FX

support processing multiple plug-ins in parallel

support parameter modulation for input FX, monitor FX


FX Containers

support sub-chains of FX with configurable input/output/processing channel sizes, configurable parameter mappings

support configurable channel feedback

support internal modulation of parameters, using parent modulation/automation as baseline for any container-local modulation


FX Oversampling

add preference to auto-disable oversampling for record arm-affected tracks


Grouping

add option (enabled by default) for track media item grouping to affect only items that start and end at the same time (rather than any enclosed media item)


JSFX

add ext_gr_meter to support reporting gain reduction to the host (set to non-positive values in @init and @block)

support plug-in defined compile-time configuration parameters


JSFX/ReaScript/Video

% (modulus) operator supports 64-bit values on arm64 [t=282237]


Keyboard

add multiple alternate main keyboard sections, add actions to switch between them persistently or momentarily


Lanes/Comping

support fixed-lane tracks, to arrange media items in fixed lanes

support setting individual lanes to play back or not play back

support automatically recording overlapping media to separate lanes, either layered (multiple lanes play back at once) or not (only the last recorded lane plays back)

support minimizing, maximizing, or collapsing track lanes

support adding lanes by dragging media to a hashed 'parking area', automatically removing empty lanes

support naming individual lanes, resizing lane name area

support reordering fixed lanes by dragging lane buttons up/down

support targeting a specific lane or free item position when pasting media items and razor edits

add many actions to support editing, manipulating, playing back, comping, and coloring items in fixed lanes

add mouse modifier contexts for fixed lane header buttons, fixed lane comp areas (including click/double-click contexts)

add many theme elements for fixed lane and comp area display

support recording into specific lanes or new lanes

add actions to explode items in lanes to tracks, implode items on tracks to lanes, optionally creating comp areas

add import option to add multiple media on fixed lanes on a single track

add options to automatically create comp areas for new recording while comping

v6 option for overlapping recording to create new media items is replaced by option to add lanes; playback behavior is identical to v6

existing actions to switch active take (T/shift-T by default) will switch the comp area under the mouse up or down as well

tracks that are grouped for media/razor edits are also grouped for lane actions and edits

when exiting fixed lane view, lanes that are not playing are hidden; hidden lanes are restored when re-entering fixed lane view

create a comping lane by double-clicking or right-clicking the lane button, or clicking the comping button on a razor edit, or using arrange view mouse modifiers

while comping, mouse-drag in source lanes to create comp areas; comped media is copied to the comping lane

comp areas create editable copies of source media

mouse modifiers for comp areas include behaviors to change comp area source lane, limit comp areas to media item edges, move media items along with comp areas, attach comp area edges to adjacent comp area edges, create time selection including pre-roll/post-roll for previewing

while comping, edits to media item edges/fades/crossfades in comping lane will also affect comp areas (comp areas fades/crossfades can be individually edited this way)

while comping, edits that cause comping-lane media to go out of sync with source-lane media will display a re-comp button on the comping lane media

clicking re-comp button will copy edited media to a new source lane, to use as an alternative edit along with existing source media

optionally support editing source media while comping (edits immediately affect the comping lane)

ensure that new recording is in the same lane for all grouped tracks [p=2720419]

when recording with time selection auto-punch into a new lane, optionally add the entire new recording, but comp only within the time selection [p=2676770]
