v0.4.5

What's new in v0.4.5

• Add an Audio Meter node (Utility): stereo L/R bars on a shared -60 to +3 dBFS scale with RMS inside peak, a peak-hold line, and a per-channel max-peak readout that turns red at 0 dBFS. Audio passes through unchanged, so it can hang off any cable as a tap; click to clear holds and clip. Bars drop to zero within 100 ms of the audio stopping.
• Fix VST3 plugins with sidechain inputs or aux outputs (most compressors, Kontakt) rendering from their left channel only: every bus is now negotiated, main buses get stereo, and the note input bus is activated so strict plugins receive notes. macOS, Windows and Linux.
• Fix VST3 scanning silently dropping every plugin after a slow one: the scan timeout is now per plugin instead of one deadline for the whole batch, and a crash or hang is blamed on the plugin that caused it rather than the next one in the list. macOS, Windows and Linux.
• Fix Shift-drag gesture loops stepping only every 30 frames when their node is off screen (including renders and recordings taken while zoomed in), and freezing on a node with its eye closed. Performance-panel writes to off-screen or collapsed extra targets are no longer lost.
• Fix the Windows build failing to link (DXGI), which could leave a release without Windows binaries.
