- loadbang in patcher containing poly~ no longer fires inappropriately first time the poly~ reloads its patcher.
- Disabling the debugger now restores original overdrive setting automatically.
- jit.conway:fix for divide by zero crashes with birthmark enabled.

- windows: no longer drops sysex messages when too many are received too quickly.
- cellblock: Fix calculations for horizontal scrolling boundaries.
- parameters: new attribute to toggle deferral of automation and remote control output to the GUI thread; off by default, this attribute can be used to reduce the frequency of value changes resulting from automation and significantly reduce processor load. In combination with the new parameter_speedlim attribute, device developers now have fairly comprehensive control over the automation of their parameters.
- Fix for CoreAudio support for Tascam US-1641.
- filtergraph~ now has a hfgcolor attribute to set the highlight foreground color.
