v0.4.6

What's new in v0.4.6

• Add a headless engine: --render writes a movie, --frame writes stills, with status JSON and exit codes for scripts (Windows and Linux too; Linux needs xvfb-run)
• Add --frames-dir, --node and --codec prores4444 (macOS) for frame sequences, tapping any node, and alpha movies
• Add --audio-summary, --stems, --notes and --note-map for measuring and driving a patch's audio
• Add --contact-sheet, --explain, --describe and a strict --validate to inspect a patch before rendering
• Add --set <node>.<param>=<value> for per-shot parameter overrides
• Running app: live reload when the patch file changes, live validator warnings on nodes, an RPC, and infinite open <patch> on Windows and Linux
• Add a patch-authoring skill and a Headless User Guide (PDF)
• Add Looper (Synths): record a self-ending take, then loop, dub and clear, with latency compensation
• Add MPC (Synths): a 16-pad sample player on notes 36 to 51 with One shot, Gate and Loop modes
• Add Sampler fade in/out, MIDI learn on any parameter (right-click), a Metronome click in the top bar, an audio round-trip latency readout, and Windows low-latency output
• Fit gains X/Y offset; video loop wrap works when the duration is unknown; Macro Trigger fires Looper buttons and MPC pads
• Fix interface scaling on high-DPI monitors (Windows and Linux); UI Scale no longer needs a restart
• Fix Render 3D translucency, Join colour handling, and several geometry nodes dropping curves or point size
• Fix the device mix counting a signal twice when it goes to both Audio Out and an Output
• Fix saving in the Linux AppImage (#25), the macOS recorder finishing late, and patch files with a BOM or Windows line endings
• Website v2, refreshed Node Reference Manual, and a Field Language "What's new since v1" addendum
