Nov 1, 2025November 2025 monthly summary for mixxxdj/mixxx: two core updates delivered to improve accuracy, UX, and maintainability. QM Beat detector offset fix improved beat detection accuracy; added configuration files for code quality checks and formatting to improve maintainability. Traktor S4MK3 quick effect button order: new user preference to make 'filter' the first quick effect button to align with common usage. These changes were implemented with commits b11d2c217b6e7405a4ac2e9858acc7d79902e6aa and dbbefb24981399928c44081a68827867e3c55d7f.
