Render:
- add render peaks display option to show file length in samples
- add render setting to enable/disable parallel postprocessing
- support rendering stereo and/or multichannel to per-channel mono files, via postprocessing dialog
- disable 2nd pass render option when normalizing video render
- fix auto-incrementing filename when rendering to both primary and secondary formats
- fix possible 1-sample file length discrepancy when rendering media items on multiple tracks
- fix rendered file length discrepancies that can occur in certain circumstances
- fix rendered file length when processing at project sample rate, resampling to final sample rate, and rendering multiple project regions (7.37 regression)
- if not postprocessing, finalize rendered files for each timeline range before rendering the next timeline range
- ignore saved project setting to bring FX online after load when rendering from the command line
- improve render speed when rendering many files and using FX that introduce latency
- improve render speed when rendering many very short files
- update render statistics more efficiently during render
- internal changes to filename handling and metadata
- limit display of rendered file list dropdown to about 100 files
- properly flush synth plug-ins when normalizing video render
- resolve wildcards like $item, $itemnotes even when not rendering selected items, by finding the media item within the render that best matches the rendered time range
Auto-increment:
- support separate preferences for 'save new version of project' suffix and 'auto-increment filename' suffix
- set default filename suffix to '-001' (revert to pre-7.45 behavior), keep 'save new version of project' suffix as '_001'
- add preference to ensure file number comes after all existing similarly named files in the directory
- add preference to treat _ (underscore) and - (hyphen) as interchangeable when auto-incrementing filenames
- allow space characters in auto-increment suffix (for example, ' 001')
Batch converter:
- fix converting only selected files when unselected, unconverted files exist
- ignore $chid wildcard when not imploding/exploding
- support sorting file list
Click source:
- support following project tempo / time signature while customizing click pattern
- support setting to half speed
Joysticks:
- actions/buttons to reinitialize MIDI devices also re-open joystick devices
- opening configuration from device that failed to open will try to re-open the device if found
macOS:
- allow plug-ins to request access to system cameras
- improve display/handling of truncated UTF-8 strings
Media import:
- set take extension attribute ORIGINAL_FILENAME when media is copied to project path on import
- if media contains unambiguous tempo information in cue/marker metadata, use it when tempo-matching
ReaScript:

- fix GetMediaSourceFileName() for section/reverse sources
Ruler:
- add support for minutes:seconds (minimal) display format
- fix performance issues/hangs at nonsensically-high measure offsets
- make label interval and tick mark spacing consistent when ruler display format is set to either time or frames
Wildcards:
- support $chid (channel ID), for use when rendering stereo/multichannel to mono files, ignored otherwise
- support $chid{N}(...) to name channels when exploding N-channel file, ignore for other channel counts
- support $projectnotes and $projectnotes(key) to display specific lines from project notes, see wildcard help for more information

- improve display/handling of truncated UTF-8 strings for display and accessibility

Audio Units:
- prevent dropping of MIDI messages in certain instances
Command line:
- fix command line render occasionally canceling itself

Filtering:
- fix case matching for various non-ASCII characters that do not fold to ASCII

Shutdown:
- optimize unloading FX at exit
Tempo markers:
- fix editing tempo when tempo change position is in beats and previous tempo marker is set to gradually transition tempo
