New release: 2026.07.18.1

This one's a big one!

Changes:

• Experimental Ableton Live 11 support (Live 12 remains the main target)
• Experimental Ableton Link support: sync tempo with other apps and devices on your network
• Display scaling now works from 100% to 250%, auto-detected on every launch
• New optional one-command setup for lower audio latency
• Intel Arc graphics cards are now recognised properly, so Live runs fully accelerated on them

Fixes:

• Live's menus now follow dark/light modes
• The Learn View (lessons and help) renders correctly
• Live eats noticeably less CPU
• More stability on NVIDIA setups
• A pile of smaller stability and cleanup fixes
