It really has been a long way to get this release out of the door. It fixes some serious crashers that i intend to blog about later, but more importantly it fixes a security vulnerability issue, here’s the related advisory: artswrapper vulnerability 2006-2916
Upgrading from any older Beast version is thusly strongly recommended. I’ll not get into too many boring details here, so let me just say that Beast now supports different musical tuning systems and also ships with new and extended modules (BseQuantizer). All the g(l)ory details can be found in the original announcement:
ANNOUNCE: BEAST/BSE v0.7.1
