IMPORTANT: The official system requirements have changed as of 6.1.

IMPORTANT: Metro Documents written with this version will NOT be readable in any version prior to Metro/Metro SE version 6.2.1!

IMPORTANT: This is a pre-release, meaning it has some bug fixes (and possibly features) that were deemed important enough to be released before it could be rigorously tested.

The following list includes changes to Metro, Metro SE and Metro LX. Some changes may not be applicable to specific products.

New to this version:
• New: French language version available to current users.
• New: The LX version now supports bit sizes up to 24.
• New: It is now possible for the user to name audio input and output streams under OS X. This makes it possible to work around the fact that many audio drivers are not publishing names for the different streams of their devices. This makes it possible to have names like SPDIF-1 or ADat-2.
• New: A stop delay setting has been added to the device options dialog for Core Audio. This prevents glitching on stop for certain audio devices (e.g. Gina).
• New: The audio fade dialog box has been enhanced to include fade in and fade out buttons.
• New: Many more menu items are now available while playing. Selecting them, however, will cause playback to be temporarily halted.
• New: Jukebox now recalculates the bit-rate when the user gets info on the file.
• New: Jukebox now moves the currently playing item to the beginning of the file list when the shuffle button is checked.
• New: Mixer output vu's now fall off their current values more gradually providing a more professional look.
• New: Typing keys in the plug-in window now moves to the correct category when the plug-ins are sorted by category.
• New: Subsection edits are now undoable.
• New: Instrument definition for the Korg Triton Extreme included.
• New: Minor audio optimizations.

• Fixed: A very serious bug involving sub-sections was introduced with multiple-undo. It could cause a crash when attempting to undo a subsection drag procedure. This has been corrected.
• Fixed: It was possible that a lengthy high-resolution MIDI file, when imported, would be incorrect due to integer math overflow. Such a MIDI file could easily be written by programs such as propellerhead's reason (Thank you Todd Rundgren for finding this).
• Fixed: It was impossible to record in stereo on certain audio devices that published multiple streams such as Echo's Gina.
• Fixed: Changing the output in real time now works correctly for audio outputs and aux sends.
• Fixed: Change ports was not changing the output's unique. This would cause Metro output ports, but not their names, to revert to old settings mysteriously.
• Fixed: The default core audio input and output device were not being restored properly when Metro was restarted if they were not the same device.
• Fixed: The factory setting Metronome was missing beats and behaving erratically in certain situations. Usually when the audio packet size was small. It was also not following the time signature and tempo changes if section events were set to loop.
• Fixed: When externally syncing the Metronome could tick once even though it was not on (this problem was introduced in 6.2.3).
• Fixed: There is no need to stop and resume playback after the jukebox output is selected any more.
• Fixed: Using the continuous data dialog on the Master fader only worked for 'Set to'. This has been corrected by completing the implementation.
• Fixed: The note display in the graphic editor was not being drawn behind EFX automation.
• Fixed: Double clicking in the tracks window would not always bring up the correct display in the graphic editor.
• Fixed: When audio outputs were dragged or pasted in the mixer window, the vu's would not be correctly reflected until playback was stopped and then resumed.
• Fixed: Enhanced AU plug-in support.
• Fixed: The preset popup item "Save AS" in the Effects window is now correctly grayed out if the plug-in has been specified as handling its own presets.
• Fixed: Scale time was not working properly on mixed audio and MIDI tracks. This could even have caused a crash when dragging bar lines.
• Fixed: It was possible to have the Metronome included when mixing audio. It was also possible that a count off would occur when mixing. Now the Metronome is always disabled when mixing.
• Fixed: Notation was unable to insert notes when an audio track was the only existing track.
• Fixed: Change ports also changes the default audio output. This helps the internal Metronome playback to make sound on the default audio device.
• Fixed: There was an incorrect latency calculation when recording using core-audio direct as the input selection.
• Fixed: Output vu's would on rare occasions stick.
