- Known problems:
-
- * Windows: The floating tool palette does not minimize when
- minimizing a project window. As a workaround, you can
- just keep the tool palette docked with the project window.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Changes in 0.94:
-
- * Preferences dialog (Joshua Haberman)
-
- * OGG Vorbis import (Joshua Haberman)
-
- * Silence, Insert Silence commands
-
- * Split and Duplicate commands
-
- * Mac OS X support
-
- * Supports recording on Mac OS 8 and 9
-
- * Many bug fixes
-
- Changes in 0.93:
-
- * Displays playback/recording position indicator
-
- * Keeps track of some preferences
-
- * Supports arbitrary project sample rate
-
- * Mac: opens documents from the Finder
-
- * Floating tool palette is now dockable
- (and docked by default)
-
- * Fixed bugs in handling multiple open projects
-
- * Supports recording (Windows, Linux)
-
- * Frequency Window displays note names (i.e. C4, G#5)
-
- * Many bug fixes for effects, including VST plug-in effects
-
- Changes in 0.92:
-
- * Added Frequency Plot window and improved Spectrum display
-
- * Fixed bug in File:Open when the file to be opened was
- actually a large WAV file
-
- Changes in 0.91:
-
- * Uses xaudio library to import mp3 files
-
- * Zoom menu
-
- Changes in 0.9:
-
- * New floating tool palette with four tools (selection,
- sliding, zooming, and envelope editing) plus play and
- stop buttons
-
- * Playback now mixes tracks, and you can work with the
- document while listening. The stop button works.
-
- * Rewritten file handling functions. The main view
- is no longer dependent on the wxWindows DocView
- classes, so we can handle files ourselves. The
- project file format is now text-based for easy
- debugging. Eventually it will probably move to XML.
-
- * Improved handling of wave tracks: as before, the data
- is stored in blocks, but now, the blocks are correctly
- limited to betweek n and 2n bytes each (for some n),
- which guarantees editing operations always take the
- same amount of time, while also ensuring that projects
- don't get more fragmented over time.
-
- * Rewritten user interface code. The shades of gray
- are taken from the OS, and the project window has been
- redesigned to have more consistent layout across all
- platforms.
-
- * Selecting "Open" now does the smart thing, opening a
- project if you give it a project, or importing a WAV
- file if you give it that.
-
- * Flashing cursor indicates the current editing position
-
- * Much improved ruler - besides looking nicer, the ruler
- now displays the selection and the cursor.
-
- * The zoom tool centers on the cursor so you can zoom
- into wherever you are.
