SNES Tracker v0.2.0

Available only to Patreon Subscribers.

the ".2" series of SNES Tracker will see many frequent releases as I roll out gradual bug fixes, improvements and new features.

Bug Fixes

• Fix crash when Preferences.ini Recent File entry is corrupt #139
• Fix BRR Rip bug #138
• Fix scenario where echo flag was not saved for a song's instrument #130
• Fix unsaved changes not always detected when closing app #124

Other

• As prep for adding in SPD effect commands - Change default SPD to 8 and unlock the adjustment. Technical jargon: Note that this doesn't behave like a traditional SPD yet! and only BPM will affect playback speed for now. I plan on having SPD of 8 reflect the BPM when each row is a 16th note, and adding SPD adjustment commands! woot woot
