/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

20250223 : "STYLUS"
           Fixed a visual bug where it said R on both the left and the right slew-rate meters, so now it says L and R correctly.

20241124 : "VINYL"
           1: modified the crackle, pop & noise algorithm to include stronger 'dark pops' that sound more realistic than previously (This is NOT backwards-compatible, but does sound more realistic now)
           2: added a button to select between "clean" and "dirty" vinyl (in "dirty"-mode the crackle, pop & noise will be more dense, while "clean" mode is mostly the same density as in previous plugin-versions though the enhanced 'dark pops' algorithm do make things sound slightly denser overall)
           3: corrected a bug with the gate (it was monitoring the left audio-channel twice, instead of the left and right together)
           4: modified the gate to close when incoming signal goes below -120 dB FS, down from -96 dB FS previously
           5: added an input-gain trim control for the input-audio (this does not affect the noise) which also shows the VU-level (upper-meter adheres to the VU-specification, lower meter is a slow average of the upper-meter) of the incoming audio after the trim-adjustment (it does not show the noise-level)
           6: added a clipping-indicator to the input-audio peak-meter (triggers when the original input-audio, prior to the noise being added, goes above zero dB FS, which is the level at which the plugin hard-clips its output)

20241118 : "STYLUS"
           1: decreased the "tracking force" default back to the original 1.76 grams. This is back-ward compatible (A saved project will still load the same tracking-force that was set for that saved project)
		   
           "VINYL"
           1: added PCD (Plugin Delay Compensation) of 401 samples to get temporally sample-perfect renders

20241113 : initial release of "VINYL" (WowFlutterNoise Addon)

20241108 : 1: re-named "Vinyl Quality" user-control to "Cartridge Frequency Response" (According to spectrum-tests found on this web-page: https://www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/viewtopic.php?t=54888 )
           2: increased the "tracking force" default slightly, so that the default-setting maintains a flatter frequency-response when the user-setting "Cartridge Frequency Response" is changed. This is back-ward compatible, as the system itself is un-changed (Previously the default weight was 1.76 grams, now it's 2.05 grams)
           3: modified the limits of the user-control "Δ50%" so it can now go twice as high (Beware that the higher you go; the more aliasing you might get)

20241107 : added user-control to set the low-pass Δ50% (Delta50%) roll-off frequency to allow user-controlled amount of high-spectrum/ultrasonic content, labeled "Vinyl Quality" as it affects how much original treble/high-end is coming through prior to slew-rate control. This control does NOT reset with the master-reset, as users probably want to retain this setting more permanently in a session, but only via its own reset (Right-click to reset). When set to higher frequencies there will be more aliasing, so don't go higher than needed.

20241105 : revision2, moved output-gain to correct location in internal routing
20241105 : initial release of "Stylus"
