New version coming up with huge improvements. This is the final release candidate for v0.9.2!

Changes since last test version:

• Fixed various bugs inside the DAW, related to ffts, lua, and a bunch of shutdown bugs. Big thanks to Nasko for helping me find these issues
• Around 30% reduction in download and installed size by compressing resources more
• The Heavy toolchain download and install size is now much smaller
• The Heavy exporter can now deal with paths with spaces in them
• The Heavy exporter now prints the commands it's executing thanks to @dromer
• Patches are now able to handle messages if the plugin is bypassed, or if there's no audio running. This prevents the UI from being unresponsive when plugins are bypassed.
• Improved robustness of some filesystem operations
• Dialogs and tooltips now have proper high-dpi scaling on Windows and Linux thanks to @sadguitarius
• Fixed blurry rendering for [note] and [messbox]
• Draggable number boxes now limit themselves to a reasonable number of decimals
• Improved array rendering performance
• [param] object can now have a default argument set by passing it in after the "create" message (like "create 0.5")
  • The default value will only be loaded the first time a patch is loaded inside the DAW. As soon as the parameter gets set from DAW state, the default will no longer apply
• Fixed various [param] bugs
• Fix slow sidebar dragging on Linux
• Improved tabular numbers font
• Fixed welcome panel glitches when using search
• Fixed issue with opening pd files on Windows and Linux
