        - Now is used the XML format for all zynaddsubfx parameters(.XMZ for master parameters, .XIZ for instrument parameters and .XSZ for scale parameters).You can import older parameters. All parameters files are compressed with gzip algorithm.
        - Some parameters has changed and you might ecounter different sounds that you saved in the older versions of zynaddsubfx

      - bugfixes

1.4.0 (15 Apr 2003)
