+  * fix mangling with illegal sample loops, causing audible glitches
+  * fix inverse logic of audio.jack.multi option
+  * fix channel fine tune RPN to use correct range
+  * fix timing problems when changing the sequencers scale from a callback event
+  * workaround incorrectly rendered audio when requesting more than 64 frames from fluid_synth_write_*()
+  * adjust ALSA MIDI port type
+  * avoid voice_count becoming negative
+  * avoid notes with a fixed key generator playing forever
+  * avoid TCP/IP connections from closing in an undefined manner
+  * a lot of memory leaks, NULL dereferences and SegFaults
+  * add support of vorbis-compressed sf3 sound fonts
+  * add sostenuto pedal to the synth
+  * add vbr quality when encoding with libsndfile
+  * re-implement routing reverb and chorus to distinct buffers in fluid_synth_nwrite_float()
