[LAU] [ANN] Nama version 1.078

I'm announcing a new release of Nama[1], with
several fixes and improvements:

- for visualizing/editing waveforms, Nama will invoke
  Mhwavedit or Audacity on current track/version
  (view_waveform, edit_waveform commands)
- envelope fades now work with transport seeking (fix in Ecasound 2.8.0)
- intuitive behavior for bus REC-enable flag
- reorganized source code
- documentation of variables and track subclasses

Nama is available as a Debian package,[2] as a native perl
distribution from CPAN[3] or from github.[4]

A blurb follows.

Regards,

Joel
