- This is the Amiga version of the Sound Exchange release 6, patchlevel
- 11; Amiga version number is 3.3; this is an update to SOX patchlevel 9
- and Amiga SOX 3.1.
-
- New to pl11:
- - Sun ADPCM compressed .au support
- - Who knows? I haven't really checked it all. I just port
- the thing.
-
- With release 3.1, I decided to compile versions for the 68020 and
- 68000 instead of the '030 and '000. The performance ratio of an '020
- to a '000 is better than the performance ratio of the '030 to an
- '020, and not much less than '030 to '000. Essentially, '030 users
- lose little by using an '020 binary, but '020 users gain much by
- not using the '000 version. This solution, then, maximizes the
- benefit distribution.
-
- As an Amiga user, you benefit from better documentation; the docs for
- public SOX have not been updated in a long while, but I updated the
- [pt,tt,n]roff, ascii, and AmigaGuide manuals.
