- ***************************** UltiMOD HISTORY *********************************
-
- 28-4-'95 - Released UltiMOD v1.1
- 25-4-'95 - Fixed problem with mods that execute a position jump to the
- current position when playing a songlist. (now loads next song)
- - Recompiled with Watcom C v10.0A. Code a bit bigger, but uses
- less CPU time.
- 24-4-'95 - CPU usage way up. (6%) Have to look at what's causing this.
- 20-4-'95 - Migrated my device driver and Robert Manley's MMPM/2 driver.
- 18-4-'95 - Fixed bug in Slide Down. When sliding beyond note 1712 the
- wrong frequency was calculated.
- 16-4-'95 - Fixed bug in MTM loading procedure. (still not working right
- though)
- - Even less CPU usage. A few % with 4 channels mods. The more
- channels used, the more the CPU usage goes down.
- 11-4-'95 - Fixed bug in jump to loop effect (E6)
- - Added MTM support.
- - fixed a few minor problems in the songlist implementation.
- 3-4-'95 - When random play is selected, songlists, that are passed on the
- command line, will be played randomly now. (Watcom did a nice
- job implementing srand and rand (NOT))
- 27-3-'95 - One thread less. Thread 3 does all the work now.
- Small decrease in CPU load. (down 2-3%)
- - Added the option to disable animation of the play button.
- When turned off CPU usage drops 5% (on my lowly 486SX 25
- to 11 - 13 %).
- - Saves path of songlist passed on command line for future
- reference
- - Changed default balance settings. Values 0 and 15 causes
- problems for some people.
- - Driver does now display default settings on bootup.
- 24-3-'95 - Released Ultimod version 1.0
-
