<p>This release introduces elastic time-stretching for sample channels, letting users independently adjust
playback speed and pitch, powered by the Rubber Band audio library. The Sample Editor has been reworked
accordingly with a redesigned Pitch/Time panel, a new Playback Mode selector (Tape vs. Elastic), a quick
"Adjust..." menu for common pitch/time operations, and a dedicated sample info window.</p>
<ul>
<li>Add elastic (time-stretching) playback mode for sample channels, allowing tempo and pitch to be
changed independently;</li>
<li>Sample Editor: major UI rework, focusing on the pitch tools and audio file info sections;</li>
<li>Sample Editor: organize the sample-spreading actions (spread to bar, spread to song) into a dedicated
menu;</li>
<li>Sample Editor: add "+1 Semitone" and "-1 Semitone" options to quickly adjust sample pitch in semitone
increments;</li>
<li>Improve audio buffer performance and internal data handling by switching to a more efficient memory
layout;</li>
<li>CMake: add a new WITH_ASAN option (disabled by default) to build with AddressSanitizer + UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer;</li>
<li>Fix a crash that could occur when closing sub-windows;</li>
<li>Various minor internal optimizations and code cleanups.</li>
</ul>
