Changes and Improvements
• A new option is now available in the Generate Auto-Matte dialog to choose whether or not the newly generated layer is selected upon creation. The new Select Newly Created Layer option is only available when Create Matte on New Layer is selected.
• Changing the duration of a panel from its start is no longer possible when Animatic Editing Mode is disabled. Editing the duration of a panel from the start using the mouse is still possible when Animatic Editing Mode is enabled or when holding down the CTRL (command on macOS) modifier to switch from ripple edit (yellow pointer) to non-ripple edit (red pointer) mode.
• The waveform for both audio channels are now displayed in the Timeline for stereo files.

Fixes
