     Hello again everyone, I am glad to bring you the 6th beta of the upcoming Carla 2.0 release.<br/>
-    It has been more than 1 year since the last Carla release, it was about time. :)<br/>

     The way audio and MIDI devices are handled on Windows and macOS also changed, no longer having dynamic MIDI ports.<br/>

     Previous releases of Carla had basic time controls already,

     Now JACK transport is optional, transport works for non-JACK drivers and BPM can be adjusted manually.<br/>

     Transport can misbehave when rolling back or forwards, so this feature is still classified as experimental.<br/>
