    [new] - Tempo Editor - allows graphical editing of tempo on timeline for
            root polyObject; clicking "Use Tempo" checkbox will enable use of
            tempo line and clicking of down arrow will show the tempo for
            editing or collapse it to reduce screen space usage; if enabled,
            will generate a Csound t-statement to control global tempo; older
            project which manually added t-statements in global orc will run
            correctly as tempo editor is not enabled by default; right-clicking
            on tempo line area when in edit mode will allow option to edit
            point values by table or to set the min/max bpm for the tempo line
            with option to truncate or rescale line point values for new min/max

    [new] - added ability to set Code Text Area background color in Program
            Options dialog

    [new] - Snap

            -Setting render start time and render end time now snap if snap is
            enabled; one can modify without snap if snap is enabled by clicking,
            then holding down shift, move around (holding shift when clicking
            creates a marker, so one should press shift after mouse down)

            -Setting automation points now snap x value if snap is enabled;
            holding down shift while editing will allow free setting of x value

    [new] - added <RENDER_START_ABSOLUTE> blue variable, equal RENDER_START
            value but timewarped if t-statement used

    [update] - Tuning NoteProcessor: formerly only held the name of the Scala
            file from the .blue/scl directory to use and this file would get
            parsed everytime it was used; changed to use same Scale class that
            the PianoRoll uses and now loads in content of files and saves it
            with the project, making the project more portable.

            For older projects, when loading project will be auto-upgraded and
            contents of scale will get loaded in.  If scale is not found,
            results are not predictable and project will likely fail to open.

    [fix] - Tempo Mapper

            -Fixed timePointer location if tempo used and renderStart > 0

            -Fixed timePointer location if two tempo points had same beat time
            value (i.e. hard jump in tempo)

            -Fixed timePointer location if tempo used and two consecutive tempo
            points had same tempo

    [fix] - fixed "Convert to BSB" option on Orchestra to copy over UDO's, also
            fixed NullPointerException bug in adding parameters after
conversion

    [fix] - BSB FileSelector was always saving and using absolute file path
            instead of using relative path if within directory of project or
            in a subdirectory thereof; switched to use relative when possible to
            make projects more portable

    [fix] - Automation values may not reach end value if ksmps did not equal 1;
            added extra parameter note to ensure setting of end values

    [fix] - BSB/ObjectBuilder/Effects - Randomization of sliders using
            resolution never achieved maximum value

documentation

    [new] - Added section on Tempo Editor to Score Timeline section
