rncbc.org released Qtractor version 1.5.9 for GNU Linux on Halloween 2025, bringing interface and mixer tweaks intended to smooth editing and routing. The update targets users of the digital audio workstation who want faster selection tools and clearer view controls.
Select Mode actions for Clip, Range, Rectangle, and Automation now toggle on and off from the main menu and toolbar. Thumb views in the main window and the MIDI editor respond with steadier positioning when clicked without dragging. The mixer can temporarily hide or show Audio or MIDI buses from the Inputs or Outputs rack panes. The Qt version string also reports the underlying platform, such as xcb or wayland. Qtractor remains free and open source under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later.
