Important: If you are upgrading from Doggiebox 1.1 or 1.0.x, you should read the User's Guide section which discusses these new features, in order to make best use of them and migrate your existing projects.  On first launch, you will be taken there automatically.

What's new in version 1.2:

	•	Songs can be played back in real time to MIDI devices or exported to standard MIDI files.
	•	Doggiebox and external devices can trigger each other remotely via MIDI Machine Control.
	•	Drum kit format has been revised to improve responsiveness when loading songs or changing kits.
	•	Externally-linked sound files are supported, making it possible to distribute smaller-sized kits.
	•	Text-based instrument summaries are copied to clipboard in kit editor to aid in drum management.
	•	A number of cosmetic improvements have been made to the song document window.
	•	Fixed a bug which occasionally caused garbage in the right channel when exporting an audio file.

Revision history for older releases is provided in the included User's Guide.
