3.6.5 (8025A) completely re-writes output and display update timing into a coordinated master thread.

July 22nd, 2014

3.5.9 (7822A) adds ability of submasters to save marked channels. Marked non-intensity subchannels in submasters override levels in the live cue when the sub's master level is greater than zero (unless the proportional option is selected, in which case it is simple HTP). Effects can also now override levels of non-intensity subchannels that are marked in the source cues/subs. An additional option makes overridden non-intensity subchannels proportional to a mix between the live cue and the effect depending on the level of the effect's master.
