I do not think that copy/pasting such change log is useful without mentioning REAPER parts in which particular change/fix was implemented. See Cockos forum for way more user friendly format.
 
For example, what an ordinary user should think about "fix GetSetMediaTrackInfo() for some values on tracks in inactive projects". Is it about a DAW or UFO construction?

I believe that I put the Reaper website in the beginning of the thread. I believe also that everyone doesn't need to be spoonfed. For what it's worth.

Sorry if that was sounding offensive. REAPER is usually perceived as "too programmers oriented" and "do it yourself" DAW by many people which have not used it or tried to use it for a short time only. And such view of the recent changes can confirm that (incorrect) perception
 
I know that Cockos itself is responsible for many incorrect opinions. They do not have marketing team, the web site looks "spartan" and there is no eZine like PDFs. But I see no reason to represent REAPER even more cryptic then they do...
