High DPI previews are currently available for PatchWork, Axiom, Fader Hub, MB-5 Dynamix and Plug'n Script. These previews add support for High DPI scaling on Windows and improve the crispiness of the user interface on Retina displays for Mac, thanks to improved image scaling.

- New option to disable "suspend processing on silence" for plug-ins that do not report tail size properly (such as Valhalla plug-ins).
