busses to tracks were added. There also were lots
of minor improvements and major bugfixes. Language

0.6.4

The most important change in this release is probably the reduced CPU
consumption due to lowered scope updating priority. Very convenient are
the newly added -n<nicelevel> and -N (don't renice) options. A
nice bonus in this release are the FFT-based spectrographs for module
output channels. The experimental PortAudio driver is new. As usual,
there have been many language translation updates, in particular
Canadian English, British English, Czech, Dutch, and Spanish.
