Release Notes

IMPORTANT: This version is not compatible with DAW saves from v0.5.3. If you're using a recent Actions tab build, you should be fine. Hopefully the last time that happens. But if you have DAW projects you want to keep:
- Save all opened PlugData plugins to Pd patches
- Remove PlugData from those projects
- Upgrade PlugData
- Re-add PlugData

For Linux users, I'd recommend using the OBS packages, or the AUR package on Arch.
OBS packages (maintained by @KottV): https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Aplugdata&package=plugdata
AUR packages (maintained by @aik2mlj): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plugdata-git
