 ## Recent Changes
 
     *   Version 0.99.1:
+        *   Issue #44. Revisited to fix related additional issues. Can now
+            toggle a pattern's song record in perfnames. Record button:
+            Ctrl disables snap, Shift enables record at playback start.
         *   Issue #93. Revisited to fix related open pattern-editor issues.
         *   Issue #100. In progress. Added custom ringbuffer for MIDI message
             objects to replace JACK's ringbuffer. Issue still somewhat
-            intractable :-(
+            intractable :-(. Also added configuration to calculate the sample
+            offset and set the buffer size.
         *   Various fixes:
             *   Fixed partial breakage of pattern-merge function.
             *   Fixed odd breakage of ALSA playback in release mode.
             *   Fixed Stop button when another Master has started playback.
             *   Shift-click on Stop button rewinds JACK transport when running
                 as JACK Slave.
             *   Display of some JACK server settings in Edit / Preferences.
+            *   Fixed handling of Ctrl vs non-Ctrl zoom keys in perfroll.
+            *   The pernames panel now matches the layout of a grid button
+                better.
     *   Version 0.99.0:
         *   Issue #44. Record live sequence changes functionality beefed up
             to handle recording without snapping.

     the same track while focussing entirely on knob tweaking etc.) The song
     timeline already supports arbitrary start/end points for pattern "chunks",
     so it seems like this should already be possible. Thoughts?
+    1. When recording live sequence changes in song mode, turning "snap" mode
+    off makes the pattern block start exactly when you press the button on the
+    Launchpad, like you expect, but the end point always extends out to the
+    next multiple of the pattern length when you mute it again.
+    2. With "snap" mode enabled, live sequence changes always snap to pattern
+    length  regardless of the snap size setting in the drop-down box. The snap
+    size does work when dragging and resizing pattern blocks in the timeline -
+    except.
+    3. ...off-by-one error in the snap size drop-down. 1/1 and 1/2 are both 1/1,
+    1/3 is actually 1/2, 1/4 is actually 1/3 etc.  FIXED.
     STATUS: to examine.
