CHANGELOG and version number

 
 Front-end changes:
 
  - Add support for the start time and duration properties of a
    transform, applying a plugin to only a range of the input audio
- - Add --normalise to request each audio file be normalised to 1.0 max
  - Add --multiplex option to compose multiple audio files into a
    single multi-channel stream with one input file per channel
+ - Add --normalise to request each audio file be normalised to 1.0 max
+ - Add support for the plugin_version property of a transform, causing
+   Sonic Annotator to refuse to run with the wrong version of a plugin
  - Add --minversion option to permit scripts to check that the
    version of Sonic Annotator is as they expect
+ - Add new housekeeping options to list the available feature writers
+   and supported audio file formats
+ - Pull out the feature-writer-specific help text into separate help
+   options (-h <writertype>) as the help was getting too long
+
+Back-end (feature writer) changes:
+
+ - Add --csv-omit-filename, --csv-end-times, and --csv-fill-ends
+   options to the CSV feature writer to adjust various aspects of its
+   output
+ - Add "json" feature writer, exporting to JAMS (JSON Annotated Music
+   Specificiation) format. This writer is provisional and is expected
+   to change in future releases to comply more effectively with the
+   specification
+ - Add "midi" feature writer, exporting to MIDI files
+ - Add "lab" feature writer, exporting to tab-separated label files.
+   (This is equivalent to using the CSV writer with a tab separator and
+   the new --csv-omit-filename and --csv-end-times options, but it's
+   simpler to use if .lab is what you want)
 
 Bug fixes:
 
  - Fix the former habit of forging ahead even if not all transform
    files could be found or parsed (this may have been intentional
    behaviour but it is confusing more than it is useful)
  - Fix failure to support --summary-only flag when reading transforms
    with summaries from a transform file
 
+

 Build changes:
 

    obsolete QuickTime audio file reader)

  properly for single-channel plugins with multi-channel input files

  until the first data is available for writing)
+
