Bug fixes and improvements: • Fixed: Plugin could get stuck in a "loading" state when opening saved sessions in AUM and other DAW hosts on both iOS and macOS. A synchronous call during session restore caused a run loop conflict. • Fixed: Gain Reduction, Input Level, and Output Level were incorrectly exposed as automatable parameters in DAW hosts such as Drambo and AUM, causing unwanted moveable knobs. These are now internal metering values only. Amount and Output Trim remain the two automatable controls. • Improved: Output Trim slider has a larger touch target on iPhone and iPad.
