- History file for SmartPlay v3.1 by Xtreme Intelligence
- ========================================================
-
- The whole philosophy behind this program has changed quite a bit since
- the first versions of SmartPlay. The 1.0 version (6KB) released 92/10/03
- was a plain ST/NT/PT player, without any real userinterface. Since then,
- SmartPlay has been totally re-written at least two times, got a quite
- advanced & configurable userinterface, and many unique options has been
- invented. All suggestions from the BETA testers and other users has
- made SmartPlay a quite small & powerful moduleplayer for the Amiga..
-
-
- VERSION 3.1 - Rel. 930622:
- ==========================
-
- Program size: 35512 bytes > 7096+
- Source size: 134057 bytes > 27158+
-
- Since Last release: 90 days of hard(!) work..
-
- - The outlook & userinterface is once again really improved, and is now
- more logical to use. Unused functionbuttons will now be properly shaded.
-
- - The Configuration window got more options, and a new outlook. Both the
- ProgramList editor, and the Configuration windows are now running
- independently from the mainprogram.
-
- - Small WorkBench support added. SmartPlay will not crash when loaded from
- WB anymore, and will handle the WB messages properly. No tooltypes or
- stuff like that implemented yet (coming in v3.2).
-
- - RandomPlay, DoubleBuffer and Fader modes added.
-
- - A listwindow containing the names of the samples were added on public
- demand. It is now accessible from the gadget containing the names of the
- modules, author, type etc. on the mainwindow.
-
- - XPK support implemented, and the PowerPacker decruncher does now use the
- xpkmaster.library too.
-
- - The fastmemory replaylibrary "SPlay_FAST.library" is now really improved
- and supports all CIA speed, and jump commands. All !PM! modules are also
- supported trough the new fastlibrary. The modules are now loaded into
- fastmemory in the same way as to chipmemory, loading & allocating the
- samples one by one into memory. The player will not need the 260KB chip-
- buffers for all modules played trough fastmemory anymore, so the new
- "Chip Save" mode should be quite useful even for daily use.
-
- - (Octa)MED(Pro) MMD0/1 4c and IFF-SMUS files are now supported trough the
- two new replaylibraries, SPlay_OMED.library & SPlay_SMUS.library.
-
- - Useful Auto-Flush mode added for the SPlay_xxxx. replaylibraries. If the
- "Flush SPlay_Libs" Flag is set in the configuration, all used libraries
- will be detached from the system, and all memory will be freed on exit.
-
- - The Volume and Balance knobs are now really working in Realtime. The
- volume is now more logarithmic, and will fade the samples regarding to
- the default volume of the used sample. This makes the Volume gadget more
- useful as the music now will sound the same, not loosing any samples,
- when set at low volume.
-
- - The .PRG programfiles can now be loaded from the PLAY button as normal
- modules. This makes it easy to create programs containing modules from
- different paths, and get fast access to them right from the mainwindow.
- Several programfiles may be linked together by inserting another
- programfile as the last entry in a program.
-
- - A position indicator, showing the amount of played positions added.
-
- - PS=PUBSCREEN/K argument added to commandline.
-
- - Improved windowposition handling.
-
- - ST/NT/PT SONG files will now be properly loaded. The ST15 inst. identify
- routine fixed.
-
- - Minor bug in the ProTracker/NoiseTracker identify routine fixed.
-
- - Errors on first module will now continue program properly if requested.
-
- - Annoying bug with the modulelist scrollbar (290+ modules in one program)
- fixed.
-
- - The modulename & author information should not disappear at random
- intervals anymore.
-
- - The old ForceFilter option is now replaced by an automatic routine.
-
- - End-Of-Module detection improved.
-
- - Module/Author/Played/Type cyclegadget text updateroutine fixed.
-
- - Borders will not disappear anymore at ZoomUp using the ZOOM gadget.
-
- - Only the first gadget will be executed if there are multiple gadgets
- pressed before SmartPlay is ready to execute them all.
-
- - ST/NT modules used to end up looping the first pattern - fixed.
-
- - Fixed some bugs in the !PM! PowerMusic decoding.
-
- - Memory handling improved.
-
- - CIA interrupts will now set all bits correctly on startup.
-
- - Some replaylibraries got more/new volume/position functions.
-
- - The L+R mousebutton stop/next function improved
-
- - Removed the crap-text typed in the CLI window on startup.
-
- - "Old Config found.." requester improved.
-
- - Many other bugs, and bad Enforcer hits removed. This version should run
- much more stable than the previous ones.
-
- - Phew..
