This version includes BREAKING changes. DO NOT UPDATE before you finishing current projects which use any previous version of ZL Equalizer.
- BREAKING: use the new compressor model from ZL Compressor
- dynamic filters will sound a bit different
- dynamic filters (especially if under dynamic high-quality mode) become more efficient
- dynamic filters will produce expected results under extreme knee width settings (see #156)
- BREAKING: smooth filter frequency/gain/Q changes
- quick move/automation of frequency/gain/Q will have fewer artifacts
- filter parameter automation will take more CPU usage cause it now changes filters per sample (see the manual)
- change the external side-chain button position to the top-right corner
- since it is not a per-band parameter, top-right corner seems to be a better place
- change several button icons (see the manual)
- the old ones are not intuitive enough
- add FFT db scale choice (see #147 and the manual)
- add loudness match (see #154 and the manual)
- add solo shortcuts (by right-mouse-button double-clicking with Ctrl/Command on the band button)
- add side-chain swap (see the manual)
- fix macOS standalone audio input permission request (see #146)
- fix curve db scale (see #148)
- fix multi-band selection (see #149)
- improve GUI performance
- improve DSP performance (especially for high-order filters and dynamic filters)
- improve stability
