Doggiebox 2.0 is a significant and long-awaited update that brings a number of new features, improvements and bug fixes.

• Navigation and editing controls are now in a floating tool palette
• Playback begins at the insertion point, and the playhead can now be moved around freely using cursor keys or the mouse
• The current playhead position is now shown, in bars and beats as well as minutes and seconds
• New drag and drop support in the pattern editor lets you re-arrange bars by dragging them, or make a copy by holding the Option key
• The drum kit palette is now a floating window, with better arrangement. Drum shortcut keys are shown in tool tips
• New contextual (right-click) menus are available in many places, including in the pattern editor as well as the section and playlists
• A new recording mode allows drums to be inserted at the playhead location by pressing their shortcut keys, or in response to MIDI messages
• An arbitrary sample rate and bit depth may now be chosen when exporting audio files
• It is now possible to export a separate mix for each of the instrument groups assigned in the drum kit
• Significant improvements during drum kit reconciliation when switching kits in a song. In particular, your mapping choices are now remembered and used as defaults

• Sound files of any sample rate and bit depth may now be assigned to instruments. (Previously, only 44.1 kHz mono or stereo sounds were supported.)
• Drum kits can now feature any number of instrument groups; the pattern editor will change accordingly. (Previously, there were always five.)
• The drum kit components are now presented in a column-based view, allowing for easier management
• Undo and redo is now supported for all actions, as well as multi-row selection for copy/paste and drag & drop operations
• New contextual (right-click) menus are available in many places throughout the drum kit editor

• Doggiebox will now check for and install new software updates automatically
• Documents that were left open on last quit are now automatically re-opened. The position and size of document windows are now also saved and restored
• Richer information is now exported to MIDI files, including time signature changes as well as song name and notes
• Changes made to preferences are now reflected immediately
• The Doggiebox User's Guide has been entirely rewritten

A number of lesser details have changed slightly, which might be of note if you are upgrading from Doggiebox 1.4.3.

• Zooming now behaves more conventionally. You can hold the Option key to zoom the selected pattern(s) independently of the rest
• To cycle through an instrument's variants with the keyboard, you must now press the Option key along with its shortcut
• The File menu's Export commands now export the entire song. Use the new Export Selection commands to export arbitrary patterns
• The beat selection cursor is now exposed when hovering the mouse near the top of the pattern, rather than by holding the Option key as previously
• Pressing the Home/End keys (or Command-Up/Down) will now go to the top and bottom, respectively, in the pattern editor as well as the section list and playlist
• Looping and mono fold-down modes are now global, instead of on a per-song basis
• Added a preference to toggle MIDI MMC/MTC output, so it can be turned off if not needed
• The master tempo slider, as well as several vestigial preferences options, have been removed
• Various cosmetic improvements throughout

In addition to the above, a numerous assortment of other bugs have also been fixed.
