## 1.2.1

This update focuses on cleaner stereo routing, and more reliable validation across linked stereo, L/R, and M/S operation.

### What's new

  * Improved the passive EQ voicing.
  * Improved the high-frequency boost shape and top-end response, especially at stronger boost settings.
  * Added broader internal validation for linked stereo, independent L/R, and independent M/S processing paths.

### Fixed

  * Fixed independent L/R routing so a high-frequency boost on one lane no longer changes the level of the opposite lane.
  * Fixed independent M/S routing so Mid and Side lanes keep their own EQ compensation instead of sharing level correction.
  * Reduced unintended channel leakage in independent routing modes to measurement-floor levels.
  * Updated plugin test coverage so editor construction, routing, and DSP validation all report cleanly in automated checks.

### Notes

  * Existing presets and projects remain compatible.
  * Existing licenses and activations remain compatible.
  * Some EQ curve details may sound slightly different from v1.2.0 because the analog-match voicing and high-frequency boost behavior were refined.
