v4.0 - August 3 2011

4.0 headline changes:

  + Dockers and toolbars are freely dockable in main window or floatable (up to 16 separate dockers/toolbars)
    Drag tabs from a docker to rearrange tabs, create a new docker in another location, or float windows
    Create, customize, and freely dock or float toolbars for different uses
  + Envelope editing
    Support for copying envelope points with the mouse
    Groups of selected points act like contiguous items when moving or copying
    Shift+control+drag on envelope segment (customizable) edits the envelope level within the time selection  
  + Media Explorer preview time selection
    Select a portion of a media file to insert into a project
    Optionally loop and/or stretch the selected portion to fit the destination area and tempo
    Scroll and zoom the media peaks preview
    Control+alt drag the time selection to render a new cropped file to REAPER, the desktop, or a folder
    Control+alt drag the time selection to sampler plugins or other applications that support drag/drop    
  + Media Item Properties dialog
    Item/Take Properties dialog stays open while you work elsewhere, follows changes in selected items
    Pitch adjust and playrate fields accept values (such as "1.004") or simple operations (such as "x2")
  + MIDI editing
    Set user-definable scales and chords in the MIDI editor for drawing and editing notes  
    Using mouse modifiers, copy/duplicate/paste actions can create pooled (ghosted) in-project MIDI source data
    Editing any pooled MIDI media item affects all media items that share the same pooled data
    Un-pool shared MIDI by gluing the media item or via MIDI source properties dialog
    New MIDI Contents menu for switching MIDI editor between different MIDI media items in the project
    MIDI filter improvements when displaying multiple media items in the same editor    
    Many new mouse modifier behaviors to paint notes and chords, edit arpeggios, etc    
  + Mouse modifier customization
    Customize mouse behavior when using keyboard modifiers in 40 different contexts
    In many contexts, mouse click and mouse drag can be customized separately    
    Assign different behaviors to the mouse when over the top or bottom half of a media item
    Assign any action (including custom actions) to mouse click or double-click in most contexts
    Existing/legacy mouse preferences are preserved, but user changes to mousemap settings will override    
    Actions to reassign default mouse action for any context   
    Lots of customizable choices of behavior, for example:    
      Move/copy just the selected area of media items, or all selected media items
      Edit edges/fades for all selected items, or just those whose edges line up
      Adjust media item volume or pitch
      Move envelope points or MIDI notes/CC just horizontally or vertically
      Assign marquee selection to left-click
      Assign hand-drag-scroll to right-click
      Many other customizable behaviors (50 behaviors just for media items)
  + Multichannel track monitoring/input recording/routing
    Allow choosing greater than 2 channels of input (inputs must be sequential, though)
    Multichannel track meters
    Freely route any number of track channels to other tracks, hardware outputs
  + Pitch shift envelopes
    Each take gets its own pitch shift envelope, including customized range and snap settings    
  + Project Bay
    Manage, preview, search, replace project source media, media items, and FX
    Manage media item groups and take comps for the project
    Save/load project bay contents to create working sets of source media/FX for different purposes
    Store sets of edited media items (including fades, stretch, pitch shift, etc) to use in any project    
    Media and FX+preset combinations can be stored, inserted, and switched in the project    
  + ReaSurround: multi-channel surround panner with support for any number of input channels and speakers
    Freely position input sources and speakers in 3D space
    Configurable per-channel diffusion (treat input source audio as a shaped area rather than a point)
    Drag track IO button to ReaSurround to add new input sources    
  + Render and batch-convert improvements
    Support for rendering project tracks and time regions to separate folders and files
    Customizable wildcards provide great flexibility in naming batches of rendered/converted files 
    Save render presets for workflow efficiency    
  + Take lanes and comping
    Take lanes remain aligned by recording pass, creating empty lanes as needed (optional)
    Each recording pass gets its own take lane, even when recording overlaps existing items
    Recording no longer splits existing media items into different numbers of take lanes    
    Save/load named comps (sets of takes from multiple media items)
    A/B or cycle through saved comps to audition/compare
  + Theme layout support (WALTER)
    Per-track TCP/MCP layout support
    Screensets support saving/restoring layouts
    Old themes use default layouts available in Plugins/default_layouts.txt
    New themes can define their own layouts
    Layouts can be switched via menu, screensets/layouts dialog, or customizable actions
    See: http://www-dev.reaper.fm/sdk/walter/walter.php      
  + Time selection
    Default copy/cut/glue actions respect time selection if there is one (including leading/trailing space)
    Using mouse modifiers, copy/move behaviors can respect time selection if there is one     
    Editing behavior can be customized separately for media items, envelope points, MIDI editing
  + Track input FX chain support
    FX in the input FX chain only run when record armed, and only affect the signal coming in
    Input MIDI or audio, and set recording to be MIDI or audio independent of the input format
  + Track pan improvements
    Track stereo width controls and envelopes
    Configurable track pan modes: balance, stereo pan (L/R + width), dual pan, and classic (3.x) balance
  + Transient detection and Dynamic Split improvements
    Separate threshold and sensitivity settings, and other options
  + Video: many performance improvements, support for sequencing still images
  + Volume faders: new default hardware-emulation fader taper
      
4.0 sub-headline changes: 

  + Always-on-top (pin) button for most windows, including FX windows
  + Automute safety feature is a global setting (rather than per-project), enabled by default
  + Crossfades: separate default settings for crossfade shapes, crossfade-on-split length
  + DDP export support (thanks to Sergej Marsnjak)
  + Envelopes: configurable transition time for automatically created edge points
    Allows adjusting the ramp time when editing envelope segments
  + FX: combined REAPER presets and VST patches/AU presets in a single dropdown
  + FX: user can save a preset as default, to be automatically set when inserting the FX
  + FX browser: option to display/change default preset without opening the FX
  + FX sidechains are draggable
    Drag track IO button to a plugin window to add destination track channels 3+4 and create a send
  + Installer (Windows): added "portable install" checkbox and more command line options
    "Portable install" will install REAPER with no icons, registry keys, or uninstaller
    User preferences and settings for portable installs are kept separate 
  + Live FX multiprocessing now works more effectively when tracks are in folders  
  + Media item fade drawing improvements, options to prevent editing fade-in/fade-out when the item is small
  + Media item selection sets can be named/saved/loaded using the screensets dialog
  + MIDI input/output: support for up to 62/64 separate input and output devices
  + Multichannel item improvements: allow choosing any mono/stereo pair from multichannel items
  + ReaVerb: huge realtime performance improvements
  + Region Manager: basic report-style dialog to manage time regions, naming, colors, and render behavior
  + Sample rate conversion: improved sub-sample accuracy when used with project sample rate snap
  + Sample rate snap (enable in the snap settings dialog), improved sample-level display
  + Scale finder dialog: identify scales and chords based on input notes
  + Splash screen: displays when unloading projects (useful for status), other improvements
  + Time selection is editable in MIDI editor
  + Track Manager: basic report-style dialog to manage track visibility and selection
