Release notes (v0.4.0)
----------------------

 * The speed/tempo split-point has changed to 32 (as opposed to 21 in earlier versions)
   to give access to a larger range of speed values, which are more useful than the tempo
   control. Old files should have this point set to 21 automatically, but it's possible
   to switch with the command Ctrl+Shift+S.

 * Files created or saved in this version is not possible to open in earlier versions of
   famitracker. Make sure to backup your files if you need to use older versions!
