165    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
166    
167    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has

176      targets (--enable-debug).
177    
178    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
179

181      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
182      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
183    
184    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
185      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
186    
187    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
188      a menu separator has been added.
189    
190    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices

194      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
