[LAA] Qtractor 0.7.4 - The Tackiest Gluon released!

Ahoy there!

    Qtractor 0.7.4 (the tackiest gluon) has been released!

Y'all know the drill...

    Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application
written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux,
where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main
infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio
workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

Change-log:
- Eye-candy warning: muted/non-soloed tracks are now shaded over the
main thumb-view.
- Faster and crispier VST plugin editor (GUI) idle cycles.
- Fixed all core processing when any plugin has more audio outputs than
channels on a track/bus where it's inserted.
- Added one decimal digit to all percentage input spin-boxes on the MIDI
Tools dialog.
- Added brand new and global option to disable the so called "catch-up"
default behavior (cf. View/Controllers.../Sync).
- Fixed some track control issues related to MIDI Controllers generic
mapping (cf. View/Controllers...).
- Try making Help/Shortcuts... dialog window modeless, as far as under
MIDI Controller, Inputs/Outputs Connections window also gets accessible
enough.
- Fixed some vertical scrolling and play-head line re-drawing glitches
introduced by the recent unlimited slack to editing beyond current
contents length on main tracks view.
- Added one decimal digit to the Pitch-shift spin-box on audio
Clip/Edit... properties dialog window.
- Added application keywords to freedesktop.org's AppData.
- Fixed local keyboard shortcuts on the Files organizer widget actions
and context-menu.
- Improved Mixer multi-row layout (patch by Holger Marzen aka. bluebell,
thanks).
- Fixed the Ctrl+drag/cloning left of a clip when towards near the
beginning of session.
