1.5:
- All new internal data structures allow more dynamic handling of memory and
increase the speed of many operations.
- EOF will now clean up temporary files it creates during use.
- Made editing the catalog undoable.
- Input buffer now cleared after all alert dialogs.
- Fixed BPM in AVDelay song. Now the beat lines are in sync with the notes.

but now the notes should be closer to the correct length. Discrepency is higher
with higher grid snap settings (1/32 for instance).
- Fixed Click+Drag on fretboard area when no notes selected causing EOF to mark
the chart as modified.
- Made new note graphics for the 3D preview.
- Added more information to the "Help->Keys" dialog.

measure and go to "Beat->Time Signature" on the menu to set the time signature.
This has no effect on the MIDI output and is only there as an aid to editing.
- Fixed issue with notes being deleted during a note auto-adjusted when an anchor
was moved.
- Invalid menu items are now greyed out when they are not valid to prevent the
user from clicking them and to prevent confusion about what some functions are
for.

setting.
- Added asterisks to indicate which tracks and difficulties contain notes.
- Fixed issues with song being marker as modified when no modification occurred.
- EOF now imports text events from MIDI files.

- Added option to load alternate OGG files while working on a project. Useful it
you are working on a song with separated audio.
- EOF now uses far fewer system() calls.
- Added option to resnap selected notes using the current grid snap setting.
- Improved "Save" and "Save As" function now saves "guitar.ogg" if it doesn't
exist in the save location.
- Added "New Song" wizard. Now it is much easier to create a new project.
- Made many improvements to the project creation code.
- You can now add Star Power and Solo sections to your songs.
- Context menus (in RexMundi input mode) now display options relevant to the area
being right-clicked.
- Made both Shift and Ctrl keys work for shortcuts instead of just the left ones.
- Made new "Song Properties" dialog with more advanced features based on vectris'
"Song.ini Generator 2.0."
- Fixed bug in edit boxes where text would display incorrectly sometimes if it was
longer than the edit box.
- All new tutorial.
- Updated user's manual.
- New Linux source package is better organized thanks to suggestions made by Ryan
King.

the desktop. This could improve performance for some users.

Otherwise, holding Shift will enable the note adjustment. This applies when adjusting the MIDI offset when moving the first beat marker as well.
- Made changing note lengths and toggling anchors undoable.
- Added "Song->INI Settings" menu option. This option allows you to define additional INI settings for your song.
- Catalog now remembers which track the frets are from so they will display properly when working with multiple tracks.

- Notes at the same position are now combined automatically.
- Bookmarks and catalog entries now properly adjust when the MIDI offset is changed and the notes are moved.
