What's New in PolyHarp

1.0.18

December 23, 2024

A number of fixes, improvements like being able to paste parameters to all other string areas, more robust onscreen rendering, strings can be offset by hertz as well as cents, some rudimentary MPE support. More to come, but this is somewhat exciting.
