What's new in this version:

PDC auto-bypass:
- do not auto-bypass if track is set to record-output mode
- do not use for record input FX

ReaScript:

- improve performance of SetObjState when updating items that have take FX (7.34 regression)

Render:
- fix behavior of setting to render tracks with only mono media to mono files when track has media with mixed channel counts
- interpret setting to render only channels sent to master as restrictive, rather than expansive
- when project sample rate is not set, disable and clear render setting to mix/process at project sample rate (rather than graying but leaving the box checked, which is misleading)

Ripple:
- support ripple editing when editing media item edges (set via action or right-click toolbar ripple button)
- default toolbar button toggles ripple on/off rather than cycling through ripple modes (customized toolbars are not affected)
- right-click toolbar button to change ripple mode, or replace the toolbar action to restore the old behavior

FX:
- pin mappers respect advanced preference to remain open if desired

Media explorer:
- respect user-entered tempo metadata when previewing and inserting the file

Media item take channel mapper:
