Nearly impenetrable! But all you need to know is that audio capture is more reliable than ever.

Synths: Support for VSTi and AudioUnit synths, driven by MIDI events (as originally seen in Nicecast)
New 'Auxiliary Device Output' plugin, lets you output audio to any audio device (so you can output to 2+ devices at the same time, or use Mute and just do a redirection)
New 'Side Chain Limiter' plugin. This requires an entire article in itself to explain, but it's neat, really
New 'Gain' plugin
Renamed 'NoFX' to 'PassThru'
Various bug fixes to support various 3rd party plugins better
