- Copyright 1992-1994 by Delirium Softdesign
- (Peter Kunath and Frank Riffel)
-
-
-
- V2.01 Removed a beta requester from the internal Audio-Device NotePlayer.
- Slight changes of the doc files.
-
-
- V2.0 Introduced a new concept called "Genies". This was the biggest
- part and a main reason for advancing to version number 2.
-
- Wrote Noteplayer Genies, Decrunch Genie, Scope Genies. The
- 'Deli-Wizzard' Converter genie was written by Nicolas Franck
- (Author of the famous Pro-Wizard).
-
- Completely revised documentation.
-
- Adapted some player to work with the new Noteplayer interface.
- (Oktalyzer, OctaMED, Kris, Jamcracker, PT/NT/ST, FastTracker)
-
- Improved player handling this includes support for swapable and
- asynchronus players.
-
- Fixed several bugs and problems (8-/.
-
- Improved some players (e.g Sonic Arranger Player now supports
- PC-relative modules, too).
-
- Greatly improved the IFF-8SVX player to load samples while playing.
-
- Added new players (like RIFF-WAV Player for MS-DOS samples).
-
- The GUI was completely redesigend and improved. Foldable main
- window. Now the comment can be set/shown within DeliTracker. The
- old prefs window was split into 2 seperate windows: An option
- window and a player window. Added a edit (program) window for
- modulelists. Make use of shortcuts where ever possible.
-
- Installation is done with the Commodore Installer.
-
- Changed Startup Code to work with ReadArgs() and FindToolType.
-
- DeliTracker can load an unlimited number of players and
- genies now.
-
- Added 'Appicon and 'Random Song'.
-
- Interrupt generating is now done with the timer.device instead of
- occuping a precious CIA.
-
- Make use of V39 functions where applicable (Menus, BusyPointer,
- Lowmem-Handler...).
-
- The prefs file format changed. Configurations are now saved to a
- configuration directory instead of wasting precious ram in ENV:.
- Modulelists are now handled sepaerately.
-
- Arexx: Renamed Arexx portname to 'DELITRACKER'
- Changed stringhandling, quotes are now obsolete
- Removed some obsolte commands ('OpenPrefsWin',...)
- Renamed/Changed some commands ('Random' to 'RandomMod')
- Added new commands (ShowGUI,...)
-
- Due to the much increased functionality the size grow up to 80k.
-
- BTW. The complete source this release (all players, genies, docs
- and DeliTracker itself) is currently over 4MB big !!!
-
- ===========================================================================
-
- V1.37a Fixed a bug in the internal ProTracker player. Changed the DMAwait
- of several players to use DeliTracker's support function.
-
- V1.37 Added dtg_WaitAudioDMA function. Now the ProTracker replayer should
- have no more problems with the audio dma timing (even on an A4000).
- DeliTracker can now handle up to 80 players. Changed certain players.
-
- V1.36 Changed the dtg_SetTimer function and made it public. Documentation
- reworked. The player for FTM modules was enhanced (works now with
- VBR on).
-
- V1.35 Added a new tag (DTP_SubSongTest) for the subsong handling. Changed
- some players to use this tag. Fixed a bug in the refresh routine of
- the gadgets. It was caused by two exchanged pointers.
-
- V1.34 Now finally the menus look (WFLG_NEWLOOKMENUS, GTMN_NewLookMenus)
- correct under V39. If you open a window it will be opened on the
- same screen as an already opened window this applies to the
- requesters, too.
-
- V1.33 DeliTracker's AppWindow feature can now handle drawers. If you drop
- a drawericon the complete directory is scanned and inserted into
- the module list. The maximum number of listelements was increased
- to 9999. To give the user a bid more power two ARexx functions for
- module list manipulation where implemented. A wrong set flag that
- caused menu shortcuts being ignored under Kickstart V39 was fixed.
- Changed the meaning of the mainwindow closegadget from Quit to Hide.
-
- V1.32 Improved the ramdom routine. The TFMX_Pro and TFMX_7V Players are
- now aware of 'unpacked' TFMX modules. For all that have lots of
- songs we have written a ST/NT/PT song player.
-
- V1.31 First version that will only run under Kickstart 2.0. The
- asl.library is used instead of the req.library. Removed a small
- bug in the gadget refresh routine. Fixed a bug in the timeout
- function. Some minor improvements in the ProTracker and Mark II
- players.
-
- V1.30 Release Version. All docs were improved, updated and rewritten.
- This is the first release of DeliTracker that comes without any
- restrictions. We count on the fairness of the users and hope that
- they continue to support good software.
-
- V1.29 The OS 2.0 version of DeliTracker now is a commodity. This has
- some advantages for the user i.e Hotkey support. Fixed a small
- bug in the Arexx status routine. Boolean options now take <no|yes>
- instead of <0|1> as argument. Due to Dominik's annoying complains
- we changed the parsing routine to make it more csh-friendly ;-)
-
- V1.28 Improved startup code. Changed decrunch support form inbuild code
- to XPK V2 (XPK V1 had too many bugs).
-
- V1.27 Reorganised source code to match our new internal labeling
- convention. No new functions, but the code was improved.
- The MED and OktaMED players now support 'MMD1' type modules.
-
- V1.26 Some people complaind about the missing menu. For those we
- re-implemented menus, the menu structure is slighly different
- to those in V1.16. The 2.x Version of DeliTracker now presents
- Errormessages with EasyRequestArgs() instead of the req.lib
- TextRequest().
-
- V1.25 Added pubscreen captability to DeliTracker_2.x. The OS 2.0
- version now can be used on any pubscreen and works correct
- with other default pubscreens than "Workbench". No functional
- change was made for the OS 1.3 version (DeliTracker_1.3).
-
- V1.24 DeliTracker now uses a much faster PowerPacker decrunch code.
- Made a few internal improvements and some code changes to make
- the future support of XPK easier.
-
- V1.23 Implemented a fadeout mode for smooth transition between
- modules. Reworked some pices of code to work more efficient.
-
- V1.22 Some users complained about the randomplay routine. Now the
- randomplay routine selects only modules that have not been
- played (shuffleplay). Added EMS player. In the TFMX players
- some light bugs where removed.
-
- V1.21 DeliTracker resets the LED to the initial state after shutdown.
- The defaultpath for the configuration file moved from S: to ENV:.
- All players got a $VER: ID-string. Added several players.
-
- V1.20 The old configfiles were replaced by userfriendly, editable ASCII
- files which may contain modulelists. This and the songend feature
- forced us to modify the playerinterface. To avoid another change
- we decided to make our playerinterface Tag-Based (yea!). A patch
- program was build to update old players and custommodules. A bug
- in the timerallocation of the internal ProTracker player was fixed.
- The internal Faster/Slower functions are now only used if the
- internal interrupt generation is used. Due to the Hardware Reference
- Manual the volume can range from 0-64 (65 values!), now DeliTracker
- pays attention to this. Internal work revision !
-
- V1.19 Added Randommode for playing modules in random order. Added support
- for Songend detection and made this feature available for some players.
- Added Timeout option for automatical change of modules after a user
- selectable time. Added Appendmode for selecting modules from different
- directorys. If the Appwindow feature is used DeliTracker converts the
- LOCK to a real path. Redesign of the prefswindow to match the new
- funtionality. Added support for imploder packed modules. A player for
- Sonic Arranger modules was adapted by the author of this soundsystem.
- Internal work revision !
-
- V1.18 Added shortcut support for volume and balance. Fixed little bug in
- the Stringhandling: If you save a configfile after you had selected
- a module and then removed it from memory, the configfile contained
- the module name/path. That caused DeliTracker to load this module if
- this configfile was loaded. Now in this case the module name/path is
- not set. Internal ST/NT Code completely changed. Now the routine is
- based on Protracker. This version now should play every SoundTracker
- like module correct (especially those ProTracker modules that didn't
- work). Internal Players: Custom, PT, NT, ST15, ST31, StarTrekker w/o
- AM sounds. Some new players where adapted, too.
-
- V1.17 Menus removed, because most users didn't used them anyway. From now,
- you can use shortcuts for almost every operation. Fixed very small
- bug in an arexx-routine. Added SIDMon II player.
-
- V1.16 Changed the the playerinterface (Now we have one reserved
- librarybase for future compatibility). Optimisations and bugfixes
- in the internal stringhandling routines. All Players that use the
- DeliTracker internal timer interrupt as interrupt source now work
- well with applications that use the serial.device. The complete
- color decrunch stuff has been deleted. This has more reasons one of
- them is that the Mousepointer is set "busy" if DeliTracker is busy
- Added OktaMED 1.0 player.
-
- V1.15 Changed the Playerinterface (hopefully the last time). Bugfix
- in the callingsequence of external Playerroutines. Other things
- fixed that could lead to a error. Code cleanup. Added FTM Player
- First offical demo released.
