- v2.1.573
- Work in progress -- Console.robe -- robe file converted from Win' mp3
- player called Soritong. Not finished, but can do most of things.
- Added group mode for gui elements. (all gui elements are placed in
- groups. Root group (0) is always displayed. Other groups are mutualy
- exclusive, and displayed on demand).
- Changed plugin handling code, should work better (?)
- Fixed sound clicking on song start/stop . I hope !
- Slider gadget has changed, now uses my own BOOPSI class. It doesn't
- anymore have that stupid background grid. now background can be anything
- I like. Also a so called 'knob' doesn't have to be fixed size.
- Fixed potential problems in idcmp message handling code.
- Fixed problems with kickstart 3.0. System was badly trashed under 3.0.
- (thanks to Thomas Rode <rode@adr.dk> for reporting that bug)
- Added Silence-Loopback Audio driver. Should be usefull for cdda grabbing,
- and mp3->aiff conversion.
-
- v2.1.483
- RTG bug fixed ! (thanks to Mathieu Burgerhout <mburgerhout@quicknet.nl>
- for reporting it.
- CDDA plugin boost function fixed.
- removed some dead code that were lying around
- Added Dopus5 advanced icon support !! TRY IT ! When used with DOpus5,
- Prayer2 will use some additional features to make little popup-menu
- for its ICON, with usefull functions.
- Added AIFF EXPORT plugin --> REALTIME wave output writing to AIFF file !! :)
- (but, please note that only `groovie.robe' has all needed buttons to make
- actual `capture'-ing' work for now). In short: Go to Prefs->Plugins, and set
- "Output capture plugin" plugin to Plugins/aiffdump.ppl . Next, set 'Save Path'
- where you would like to see dumpfiles created.
- After that save/use configuration, and return to prayer2. Now, you can test
- this only if you selected groovie.robe, since I didn't have a time to fix
- other robes now, by opening "Wave Capture Window" (either by clicking with
- right-mouse-button on PLAY button, or selecting "Windows->Wave Capture Window"
- from popup menu. After that, all you have to do is to press ">|<" button in
- that window, and as long as it is selected (it will stay in selected position
- until you click on it again), anything that goes on speakers, will be written
- in AIFF file. Each time when ">|<" is selected, new filename is created, so
- you won't overwrite anything by mistake, but instead you can easly run out of
- HD space if you keep that button in selected state too long O;)) There are
- some timers in that window, but I suppose they are pretty self-explanary.
-
-
- v2.1.431
- RTM play-mode
- Preferences window changed, now we have 4 separate windows: Audio, Visual,
- Plugins and Misc.
- - User selectable visualization refresh rate added.
- - hotkey settings is back.
- Experimental, limited 'AMPlifier-style' visualization plugin interface.
- You can test some AMPlifier plugins (AMPlifier is just another WinAMP-like
- player), but, they won't work entirely as expected.
- Lots of audio-handling stuff is rewriten from scratch, that should be faster
- than old code.
- Removed Workbench AppIcon when not entirely iconified.
- Image caching added, so if you open window second time, it will open much
- much faster.
- Prayer doesn't anymore use BListView BOOPSI Class by Bernardo Innocenti,
- I've written my own listview class, isn't that nice ? :)
- CDDA plugin is changed. Now takes device/unit settings from CDROM_Device
- and CDROM_Unit environment variables. CDDA data decoding is optimized.
- And finaly, CD-titles are readed from world-wide compatible "IDxxx" files
- in directory specified in CDDA_Titles environment var. (for example, you have
- to setenv CDDA_Titles Sys:Utilities/CDPlayer/Disks/ and that is all, but note
- the trailing slash. It is important !). CDDA plugin now uses less memory than
- in previous release.
- Still no sign of AHI. how does people get AHI working in their programs
- anyway ? I don't like AHI :>
-
- V2.0.223
- AHI still not active :-(
- Added RTG mode (force loading images in FAST ram, instead of wasting CHIP
- ram -- usefull for gfxcards, and FBlit users)
- Changed listview behaviour, to eliminate garbage at bottom of listview
- while scrolling.
- Fixed bug (hopefully) that caused player to stop playing sometimes after
- moving play-position slider.
- Fixed bug that caused About window to be displayed without asking for it.
- Fixed bug in argument parsing/passing function.
- Other small bug fixes.
- Fixed TRANSPARENT image mode.
- Why people use 640x256 resolution with BIG fonts ? :-(
-
-
- V2.0
-
- There are some missing gadgets in `Preferences' window I had to remove
- just to make sure that window will open even on 640x256 PAL screen with
- topaz.font/8. In next version, `Preferences' window will be divided in to
- several smaller windows, just to be sure that they will open on every
- screen.
-
- Plugins are ALPHA quality, do not take them for serious too much :-) !
- Expect much more complete plugins for next release:
-
- a) They can't downsample audio output (for example, you can play CDDA on
- 44.1k/stereo only)
- b) CDDA.ppl is using too much memory for buffers :-(
- c) WAVE.ppl can't read BIG-ENDIAN files (RIFX)
- d) ADPCM.ppl can't set current position (that is limitation of ADPCM file
- format)
- e) DT.ppl can play only 8bit/mono (that seems to be sound.datatype limitation)
-
- Bye.
