1 terminatorX - ChangeLog
2 All changes were done by me (Alexander König) if not stated otherwise.
3 This is not a GNU-style ChangeLog but you sort of get the idea what was
7 - when compiled with rt-scheduling suppport terminatorX will now display the
8 resulting scheduling policy in the about dialog.
9 - if terminatorX was setup to use realtime priority for the audio engine thread
10 but you dont want it - disable realtime scheduling in the Preferences dialog.
11 - if you don't want to confirm program termination every time you can now
12 disable "Ask for Quit confirmation" in the Preferences.
13 - added support for Linux' POSIX capabilities. This allows a suid-root installed
14 terminatorX binary to drop root privileges much earlier than with the old
15 approach (so it should be more secure). Requires the libcap library.
16 - obligatory documentation updates - clicking on the sub-sections should now
18 - removed gtk+ 1.2 cruft - terminatorX now compiles with gtk+ 2.2 and
19 *_DISABLE_DEPRECATED macros enabled. To verfiy that you can run
20 configure with --disable-deprecated.
21 - terminatorX now has a JACK backend. Currently it works like this: on startup
22 tX will connect to the JACK daemon - if the daemon is not available on
23 startup JACK output is not available. When the audio engine is turned off,
24 tX emits silence via the JACK ports, so you can leave the ports connected.
25 - sick of green - you can now configure the colors terminatorX should use for
26 the audio display as well as the vu meters in the Preferences dialog.
27 - hopefully fixed wrong setting of the master volume when loading set files.
28 - some ALSA installations seem to core on snd_pcm_hw_params_free() after sound
29 device init. So freeing the hw_params can now be explicitly disabled in
30 the Preferences - if terminatorX crashes right after hitting the "Power On"
31 button it might be necessary to activate this for your ALSA setup. This
32 probably results in a tiny memory leak - but on leak vs core you might decide
33 for leak. Note: I even enabled the leak by default now.
34 - fixed a bug that caused turntable 1 to get the focus on entering Mouse Grab
35 mode even when it's audio panel was minimized.
36 - MIDI mappings can now have "borders", meaning that the incoming MIDI signals
37 can modify the parameter within the given range only.
38 - introduced a new way of assigning MIDI controllers to parameters: simply
39 right-click on a parameter's control: a menu with "MIDI Learn" and
40 "Remove MIDI Binding" will pop up - select "MIDI Learn" and send the
41 corresponding MIDI event.
42 - fixed a bug in the MIDI callback thanks to David Hamilton
43 <daham2@student.monash.edu>
44 - the realtime scheduling reproducibly stalled separate machines. Unluckily
45 an OS-stall situation is somewhat hard to debug. Additionally the new 2.5.*
46 and the 2.4.*-ckX kernels have significantly improved scheduling that renders
47 the use of SCHED_FIFO unnecessary.
48 - running suid root was reported exploitable by Andrew Griffiths
49 <andrewg@felinemenace.org> - the described environment variable based exploit
50 was fixed - however there are possibly other ways to exploit it. So the
51 old method of running suid root has been disabled by default. On Linux
52 systems you really should use the capabilities based approach (see above).
53 If really want to use the old suid-root solution run configure with
55 - often, you record events and mess things up - in this case I'd often prefer
56 dropping the complete take instead of recording a bad perfomance - which is
57 why you now can activate "Confirm Recorded Events" from the "Sequencer" menu.
58 When enabled terminatorX will ask whether to actually record or drop the
59 events created for the last take. The setting for this flag is stored in your
61 - introduced a new "Sequencer" menu that allows to delete events of a specific
62 type (all, all for certain turntable, all for a certain parameter) from the
63 sequencer. Events can be deleted for the complete song, upto the current song
64 position or from the current song position. Yeah, I know, termintorX is
65 lacking a proper event-editor here, so where's your patch? ;)
66 - switching the X11 mouse cursor when the user has to wait for terminatorX to
68 - fixed a sequencer bug: the events for master pitch and volume weren't erased
69 correctly when another set was loaded
70 - fixed FreeBSD issues with the configure script
71 - fixed compilation issues for gcc 2.95.x
74 - I've invested quite some time in valgrinding this release, among other things
75 a major mem leak showed up - the sample memory wasn't being free'd correctly
76 which is now corrected along with many other things. valgrind is a very
78 - Added a new Pitch Calculator that allows adjusting a turntable's pitch to that
79 of the master turntable. This makes synchronizing finely cut loop samples
81 - XML based set files can get rather huge when they contain a lot of sequencer
82 events - to solve this terminatorX now uses zlib to save compressed set
83 files if enabled in the preferences dialog.
84 - I hacked support for Steve Harris' cool liblrdf - if you've got that library
85 setup correctly and you use Steve's wonderful plugin collection with RDF
86 description you should get a nicely structured menu when clicking on the
87 "FX" button. All plugins not categorized through RDF files go to the
88 "Unclassified" category.
89 - I'm no longer including the html and ps versions of the manual - it's now
90 attached in it's XML/DocBook source and will be installed via scrollkeeper.
91 terminatorX offers a menu entry to start gnome-help to display the manual.
92 - Reworked the Preferences dialog - I now use glade-2 to create that code -
93 I'm fed up with copy'n'pasting gtk+ code so now I'll let glade-2 do this
94 whereever possible. The glade project files are included with this tarball
95 in case you want to mess with them.
96 - Switched to a fixed blocksize (1 ms) for rendering. This finally allows to
97 playback set files with events recorded on machines with small buffer sizes
98 on slow machines with large buffer sizes. The buffersize of the audiodevice
99 has no effect on the "operating" blocksize anymore.
100 Note that the samlping rate has a - very small - effect though. Depending on
101 the sampling rate terminatorX will try to find a blocksize that fits exactly
102 1 ms - while this is easy for "straight" sampling rates (22000 32000 48000)
103 this results in "44.1" samples for 44100 Hz.
104 - Finally hacked a native ALSA backend. It's in "Works For Me" TM state.
105 - Added "Remove Binding" button
106 - MIDI now uses a GIOCallback so the effect of MIDI controllers is visible
107 even without the audio engine turned on.
108 - Reworked the mastergui for better usabilty and less space consumption, yes,
109 terminatorX now features a boring menubar - which helps using it on small
110 displays quite a bit, and should be easier to handle for first-time users.
111 - Implemented a suggestion from Darrick Servis <darrick@dcn.davis.ca.us> that
112 stops clipping in the mixer routine. The outgoing signal is now limited as it
113 should be, which improves the output quality for signals too loud
115 - MIDI mappings are now stored within the (new) tX set files.
116 - Applied a patch from Arthur Peters <amp@singingwizard.org> which brings
117 preliminary MIDI support to terminatorX. This is realized via the ALSA
118 sequencer interface, so in order for it to compile you have to have
119 the ALSA devel packages installed. ./configure will autodetect them.
120 - Fixed a bug in XML serialization that dropped strings' contents.
121 - You can now hit "F11" to turn fullscreen mode on/off - this will help using
122 terminatorX on small DJ laptops. Note that the key will have no effect in
123 scratch mode - hit it before you enter grab mode. This feature requires a
124 NETWM compliant window manager.
125 - terminatorX now stores set files as XML documents, too - so terminatorX has
126 become terminatorXML finally. Note: for sets with a large number of events
127 recorded into the sequencer - the XML based set files can grow significally
128 larger than the old ones (see "compression" above)
129 - The old code to support the obsolete binary tX file formats has now been
130 scheduled for deletion. It's been moved into the tX_legacy* source files and
131 it will be built only when "--enable-legacy" was used on configuring
132 terminatorX (which is the default). Expect this to become disabled and then
133 totally removed from the sources in future.
134 - Enhanced audio data display - you can now zoom into the audio signal, which
135 should allow much more precise scratching with larger audio files (ie
136 complete tracks). On playback terminatorX will scroll the displayed area
137 to ensure you always see the area of the sample in which you're currently
139 - I have not backported the new code to the old gtk+ 1.2 - so this release no
140 longer builds with gtk+ 1.2 - you have to upgrade to gtk+ Version 2 to be
141 able to build terminatorX.
142 - fixed a nasty gcc 3.2 compilation bug - thanks to
143 Adam Duck <duck@informatik.uni-frankfurt.de> and other reporters
146 - Fixed a compilation bug ocurring on big endian systems only.
147 - Fixed the built-in wav loading routines for big endian systems (again).
148 - Finally traced down and fixed a long outstanding bug in the dial widget,
149 the background of the dials is now drawn correctly.
150 - Ported terminatorX to gtk+ Version 2. The code for gtk2 will be enabled
151 when gtk2 is detected by configure. To force terminatorX to use the good
152 old gtk 1.2.x (x>=5) run configure with the '--disable-gtk2' switch.
153 WARNING: gdkxft-users: gtk2 applications segfault when preloading
154 libgdk_xft.so! So unset LD_PRELOAD and set GDK_USE_XFT=1 instead.
155 - Applied a patch from Adrian that brings lots of new stuff:
156 - Debian package support (removed - Mike Furr now maintains an official
157 Debain package for terminatorX)
158 - enhanced GNOME integration
159 - a manpage for terminatorX
160 - Included another gcc3 fix thanks to Gregor Riepl <seto-kun@freesurf.ch>
161 - Improved configure's compatibilty - it should detect pthreads more reliably
162 and it should detect ladspa.h when located in /usr/local/include without
163 /usr/local/include being contained in the include path.
164 - This release should compile and run on FreeBSD systems and possibly
165 OpenBSD, too. Thanks for help and testing this goes to
166 Tilman Linneweh <tilman@arved.de>.
167 - Sequencer now refuses to play when no events available - and displays
168 a dialog that suggests running the audio engine.
169 - De-uglified the terminatorX note dialog.
170 - Fixed gtk+2 signals for load file dialog
171 - Pre-listen support for mpg321
172 - Added a new auto-hiding "panel-bar" to which turntable control and audio
173 panels can be minimized to.
174 - Cleaned up the turntables' audio panel for better looks and easier usage
175 - Rewrote the engine thread completely - unlike before the engine thread
176 is created on startup and kept alive until termination.
177 - terminatorX can now be run suid root - and it might even be safe. After
178 creating the engine thread both terminatorX threads drop root privileges
179 before evaluating any parameters or reading/writing files, etc. The problem
180 is the pthread "manager thread" is out of control of terminatorX code - so
181 I cannot tell that thread to drop privileges.
182 - Fixed Drag'n'Drop for GNOME 2
183 - To enhance the loading of audiofiles terminatorX now contains code to use
184 mad (MPEG Audio Decoder), libvorbis and libaudiofile directly instead of
185 pipeing audio data through mpg123, ogg123 or sox. As a result the new routines
186 bring following advantages:
187 - tX loads audiofiles significantly faster
188 - tX now honours the samplerate of an audiofile
189 (by adjusting the pitch of the turntable)
190 - tX provides much better feedback on the loading progress
191 Although the old loading-methods are still available (and piped loading has
192 been improved, too) I highly recommend installing the libraries above as the
193 new routines simply work better.
194 - Deleted tons of old outdated code in tX_engine.cc and tX_mastergui.cc
197 - Applied a patch from Matthew Evans <activesx@hotmail.com> that introduces
198 support for Ogg Vorbis audiofiles. It requires ogg123 > RC2 and sox to work.
199 Autodetection is supported via configure (--enable-ogg123).
200 - Experimental support for input devices other than the core-pointer
201 under XFree86 > 4. This uses the xsetpointer executable that comes with
202 XFree86. configure should autodetect this correctly, in case it doesn't
203 use the --enable-xetpointer switch.
204 - Adrian sent me a patch introducing two new buttons: mute and solo. As it
205 didn't fully harmonize with the sequencer I rewrote parts of it and added new
206 functionality to the turntables: They can now be switched to mix_solo or
207 mix_mute - these settings affect current mixing only - their values will
208 neither be saved nor will changes to those control be recorded in the
209 sequencer - if you want to record muting events either use the mute button
210 from the turntable's trigger menu, the keyboard short-cuts (alt/strg), or
211 your middle mouse button.
212 - fixed a bug that produced corrupt wavfiles on big endian machines
213 - some minor fixes to make terminatorX compile with newer gcc releases
214 - Well, I am allowed to change my mind, aren't I? Anyway, 3DNow! is back.
215 Nevertheless newer gcc releases seem to have a bug in handling movq and
216 the current 3DNow! stereo implementation does not seem to be very efficient.
217 So use --enable-3dnow only if you want to help me improve perfomance.
218 - Modified the mpg123 loader in order to make it work with mpg321, too.
219 mpg321 lacks support for mpg123's -m switch ("singlemix") therefor
220 mpg?2?'s output is now piped into sox to convert the signal to mono.
221 For this reason mpg?2? support now requires sox to be installed, too.
222 - added a workaround for a gtk+ bug that causes empty labels when strings
223 contain umlauts - unluckily my name features one of these so I had to write
227 - applied a big patch from Adrian Reber (adrian@lisas.de). This patch includes:
228 o compile fixes for the newer gcc releases
229 o enhancements to the commandline switches (try --help for more details)
230 o bug fixes for tX_global.c
231 - the bigNewThang (TM) is STEREO output. The Pan-Buttons now actually do what
232 you'd expect them to. Therefore your soundcard must have stereo support of
233 course but I guess in 2001 this really shouldn't be a problem, right?
234 The recorded wavfiles will now be stereo wavfiles of course.
235 Note that stereo output means double audio-bandwith, so if you tuned your
236 old terminatorX setup to smallest latency you might get clicks now. You can
237 easily fix this by increasing the buffer size in the options dialog by one -
238 this will result in the same latency as before btw.
239 - The echo effect has undergone some enhancements to profit from the new stereo
240 output. It's signal will now be mixed seperately so you can choose a different
241 stereo panorama position for the echo signal. So the new echo effect now
242 features it's own PAN-knob. This does have some sideeffects though, for more
243 details on this check the manual.
244 Additionally the echo effect now has it's own volume setting to influence
245 the dry/wet ratio of this effect.
246 - Some LADSPA effects tend to create NAN (Not A Number) float values under
247 certain conditions. This is bad as all following operations will result in
248 NANs, so there will be no audio output no more. Now I will not introduce code
249 to check for NANs as this is a waste of CPU-power, producing NANs is IMHO
250 a faulty behaviour for LADSPA plugins and it should be fixed in there.
251 Now a problem with the previous release was that the echo and lowpass effects
252 "ate" those NANs resulting in NANs in those effects' buffers. So once a NAN
253 got in there these effects caused the whole audio output to mute (forever).
254 Which is why I now introduced some code to clear the buffers in echo and
255 lowpass whenever you dis- and reenable them.
256 - The GUI does have two master vu-meters now. The turntable's still have one
257 vu-meter only. Note that the echo-signal is *not* included in the turntable's
258 vu-meter now, as it's mixed seperately.
259 - The 3DNow!-Optimizations are gone. And they'll proabably never come back as
260 I don't have time to maintain the same algorithm twice.
261 - The documentation has been updated to meet the new features. A lot of typos
262 have been fixed as well.
265 - this list may be incomplete
266 - This release brings support for LADSPA plugins. These plugins can be inserted
267 into any turntable's effect chain at any position. You can edit the the
268 effect sequence with the two tiny blue arrows. The builtin effects reside in
269 the same effect chain as LADSPA plugins, but unlike LADSPA plugins they cannot
270 be removed (nor multi-instanciated).
271 The LADSPA plugins have to "fit" into the effect chain, which is why
272 terminatorX supports *mono* plugins (plugins that have one audio-in and one
273 audio-out port) only. For the plugin's control ports, termintatorX supports
274 all HINTS except for LADSPA_HINT_LOGARITHMIC. Some control ports might be
275 hard to handle as LAPDSA control ports can have very wide value ranges. It is
276 possible to enter precise values though.
277 Get LADSPA and the CMT plugins from http://www.ladspa.org
278 All parameters for LADSPA-plugins are "sequencable parameters", so you can
279 record parameter-change events for the plugin's knobs just as for the
281 - GUI re-design to support dynamic plugin GUIs. The audiofile-display is now
282 seperated from the turntable's controls. The groups are split in to panels
283 which can be minimized if not required (orange arrow). The panels'
284 minimized-status will be saved within the set files.
285 To add a plugin effect into the turntables effect chain click on the "FX"-
286 button and choose the plugin of your choice. To get more info on the
287 plugin effects click on their panel's label.
288 NOTE: The panning-control is not working yet. It'll work as soon as stereo
290 - As always when introducing something new, the set-file file-format has
292 - The parameter-to-mouse-axis mapping has been moved from hardcoded to
293 dynamic. You can now map any parameter that's considered "mappable" to the
294 mouse-axis of your choice (for each turntable separately). This is true
295 for the control ports of LADSPA-plugins, too.
296 - Josh Steiner <joschi@eds.org> has joined terminatorX development. For this
297 release he has added some startup parameters for terminatorX, some of them
298 aiming for future MIDI support, and therefor not functional yet. Run
299 "terminatorX --help" to get more details.
300 - I know write the "manual" in SGML with the DocBook DTD. The distribution
301 contains the HTML and the postscript version. These transformation have been
302 created using James Clark's jade (DSSSL-processor) and Norman Walsh's DSSSL
303 stylesheets for DocBook.
304 - Removed obsolete "number of vtts"-option from the options dialog.
305 - Applied a patch from Josh that fixes running the soundfile editor for files
306 including a blank in their filename.
307 - New tooltips for the complete GUI.
310 - applied a tiny patch from Atsushi Yamagata <yamagata@plathome.co.jp>
311 to set locale on startup.
314 - terminatorX has a sequencer now. Warning: with the current design the
315 sequencer will correctly play back recorded events only when the buffer size
316 (of the audio device) is set to the same size as it was when recording the
317 events. I know this is annoying and I will try to find a solution to this.
318 Please take a look at the README to find out how the sequencer works.
319 - fixed a bug causing the lowpass filter produce a constant signal
320 - fixed the load file / drag'n'drop segfault bug
321 - fixed the prelisten zombie processes bug
322 - fixed the segfault on termination bug (with the audio engine running)
323 - hacked the mixer code to use 3DNow! too. This improves 3DNow! performance gain
324 from previously ~6% to more than 20% (depending on compiler optimizations)
325 - extended the set-file-format to allow storing of sequencer events. This
326 release allows loading old tX-sets too.
327 - some gui icons. Choose Text/Icon / Icon only / Text only display of these
328 icons in the Options dialog. You'll have to restart tX to see the changes
330 - "soundfile-editor support": Enter the soundfile-editor of your choice in the
331 tX-Options dialog (Still looking for an editor? Checkout Dave's Linux
332 Sound and MIDI Pages: http://www.bright.net/~dlphilp/linuxsound/).
333 Click the edit button in the Main-Panel to start your editor with the
334 turntable's soundfile - edit ;) - save and click the reload button.
335 - big endian bug fixes by Scott C. Knight <scknight@indiana.edu>
336 - --enable-benchmark will now produce a benchmark binary. This takes a set file
337 as a parameter (that set file should autotrigger all tables, else the
338 benchmark will measure how fast tX can generate zeros ;) WARNING: the
339 benchmark binary is not a usable terminatorX binary.
340 - a new dial-widget. I created this for the upcoming GUI-redesign - and decided
341 I let you debug it right now ;) If you don't want it run configure with the
342 --disable-dial switch.
343 - some gui redesign. The volume scales are now located near their corresponding
344 "flash"-widget. This release fits into very small windows - so it should be
345 usable on smaller displays as well.
346 - Adrian told me configure doesn�t have to check for glib after checking for
347 gtk+ - I guess he�s right so the glib-test has gone.
351 - implemented "sequenceable parameters" (see tX_seqpar.*). This means the
352 groundwork for the sequencer is done. Although this release does not yet
353 feature a sequencer - there's still a profit: you can now see the GUI (e.g.
354 the lowpass-freq slider) update while you change that value with your mouse in
355 dga grab mode (e.g. up/down with the default X/Y-Control settings).
356 - fixed (libmmx) mmx.h to work with gcc 2.95 and above
357 - fixed compilation problems for big endian machines. still runtime probs
359 - fixed configure-script as the new bash complains about == in string compares
360 - fixed some gui segfaults
361 - added an ugly GNOME-mimetype installer. This installs the ".tX"-mime type, an
362 terminatorX-application icon and a ".tX"-icon. I could use some hints on how
363 I could make automake install that instead of an extra script.
365 - added Drag'n Drop support. Works with the great gmc. Drop an audio file over
366 the filename-button or the wavdisplay of a turntable to load it into that
367 table. Drop an audiofile over the "Add Turntable" Button to create a new
368 turntable and load that file into that turntable. Drop a tX-set file over the
369 "Load Set" button to load the set.
372 - fixes the load_piped() compilation error if you use neither sox nor mpg123.
373 Note that you have no "pre-listening" without mpg123 for mp3s and no
374 "pre-listening" for any other file without sox.
377 - Yet another redesign ;) Oh well this project moved from c++/multithreaded
378 to c++/singlethreaded, to c/multithreaded and now, finally, back to
379 c++/multithreaded. This shows quite some foresight, I'd say ;)
380 - Due to the redesign I had to change a lot (everything?) again so this document
381 can impossibly hold all changes. but let's see:
382 - tX now uses floats instead of doubles for a lot of parameters. Therefore the
383 old .terminatorXrc.bin is now called .terminatorX3rc.bin to allow parallel
384 use of older releases. But you'll have to configure the new release again
385 the first time you run it.
386 - tX now supports an unlimited no of turntables. The only limit is your display
388 - Each of these turntables has their own pitch / volume settings and a
389 dedicated lowpass and echo effect section.
390 - You can now map mouse motion to a function of your choice (scratching/
391 volume/cutoff/echo-feedback and nothing)
392 - Recording will now happen straight to disk. You'll have to specify a filename
393 before you start recording.
394 - You can sync the turntables to one master turntable.
395 - There are two master settings for pitch and volume available to modify all
396 turntables. The turntable pitch is relative to the master pitch.
397 - You can save a complete set (of turntables and settings) to a .tX set file.
398 The audiofile data will *not* be saved within that file, but it'll contain
399 the absolut filename to these files. I know this makes the act of exchanging
400 sets over the net more complex so if somebody wants to code set files with
401 integrated audio data... ;)
402 - The way audiofiles are loaded has been redesigned too: the builtin wav
403 routines, the sox support and mpg123 are no longer connected. This means
404 you can use mpg123 support without sox support and still have the builtin
405 wav routines enabled. If you have the builtin wav reader and sox enabled, tX
406 will try try to use the builtin routines first, and if they fail sox will be
407 used as a fallback which is of course slower as you know... There's some
408 support for Benno Senoner's brilliant 3.2-mmap() patch but the patch still
410 - You can now select which parameter to map to a mouse axis.
411 - experimental 3DNow! support (works with gcc < 2.95 only)
412 - tX-windows now have an icon, thanks Michael!
415 - implemented 2D-Scratching ;) You can now use the other axis of your mouse
416 two modify the cutoff frequency of the lowpass filter (if enabled). The
417 resonance factor can be set via the slider underneath "LP Filter". Seems
418 to eat quite some CPU power though...
419 - Updated THANKS, AUTHORS
420 - as most people seem to use sox/mpg123 anyway and as I still get "I want mp3"
421 emails I changed the configure script slightly: It now automatically enables
422 the use of sox and mpg123 if these are available. If you still want 'em good
423 old 16Bit/44.1Khz/Mono builtin routines you have to specify --enable-wavonly
424 with your configure cmdline.
425 - Prepared the tarball for the Win32 port. You can now compile tX with cygwin
426 and the Makefile.cygwin in the src directory if you have all the required
427 libs (gtk, pthreads etc...). The resulting exe will run BUT is completely
428 unusable for now... Stou Sandalski <tangui@cell2000.net> and I are planning
429 to make it usable in the future.
430 - The About-Dialog now contains some info on how the binary was compiled
433 - Optimized audio-rendering code for speed (might run on some machines
434 with smaller buffsize (-> lower latency) than pre-3.1) - Hey, tX now uses
435 less than 10% CPU (says kpm) with mixing enabled on my i586-200MMX machine!!
436 - "fixed" stdout-output. Due to the pipe-buffering realtime schratching can
437 not be considered usable for now :(
438 - Added config option --enable-scheduler, which will cause the terminatorX
439 engine-thread to run with FIFO scheduling policy and highest priority. This
440 might enable some machines to use smaller buffsizes. It requries root
441 privileges though - either run terminatorX as root - or make terminatorX
442 suid root WHICH IS A BAD IDEA FOR MULTI-USER SYSTEMS IF OTHER USERS CAN
443 ACCESS THE BINARY ;) You only have to think about this when you experience
444 buffer underruns with your desired latency. And it might not even help...
445 - Rehacked the de-clicking (fading) code. The old one tried to be much more
446 intelligent - and failed fading out the signal sometimes. The new code
447 is much simpler (faster) and is much more reliable.
448 - added common sense to the warp feature (f-key in scratch mode). The warping
449 speed is still connected to the mouse speed but it's now adjusted to the
450 sample size as well: you can warp through any sample completely with the same
452 - added debug configure switch. Enables (very few) debug messages for now. I
453 decided not to enable the old V2.X messages as they are sent to stdout, which
454 would sound pretty strange to people who use the stdout-option.
457 - Fixed Adrian's name in the THANKS file. Sorry, Adrian.
458 - Corrected Makefile.am for license.c that did not build correctly on some
459 systems - Thanks to Michael Pruett <mikep@ugcs.caltech.edu>
462 - fixed a bug that caused terminatorX to crash without --enable-sox or
466 - Changed everything ;)
467 - switched from C++ to C for gtk's sake
468 - switched back two multithreading
469 - implemented new gtk+ gui and dialogs
470 - new mouse-sampling code now uses DGA's DirectMouse
471 - implemented "initalizing"-support for XInput devices.
472 - new (alpha) "pre-listening" feature in scratch/loop dialogs
473 - hacked vtt for click-free audio. Might be problematic with big
474 kernel level buffersizes but scratching with big buffsize is no
476 - options are now stored in ~/.terminatorXrc.bin automatically (on exit)
477 as well as windowsize and the last used filenames
478 - terminatorX now comes with a configure script - no more Makefile hacking
479 required (nor a good idea ;) )
480 - new wavdisplay-widget update frequency is now configureable
481 - new position-display is much more visible which allows more precise
483 - new mute-feature allows you to silence the scratch-playback completely
484 while the loop keeps playing (press either <m>-key or right mouse-button.
485 - support for mouse buttons:
486 o 1. (left) button: same as <SPACE>, do scratch
487 o 2. (right) button: mute scratch
488 o 3. (middle) button: stop
489 - wrote support for sox and mpg123. This enables terminatorX to read close
490 to any audiofile. You need to have sox and mp3 and this feature (as it is
491 still alpha) needs to be enabled via configure-switches see INSTALL
492 - licmak now is an awk script. Thanks Christian! I was also received two perl
493 scripts (Thanks, guys!) but I now use the awk script as it is the smallest.
494 - introduced <F>-key to "warp" through scratch-sample (just check it out)
495 - dropped commandline arguments
496 - dropped old X-Code + Mouse warping madness
497 - bug fixes (less than bug introduces though ;) )
501 - implemented a time counter
502 - licmak now finally is what it should be: a perl script (licmak.pl)
503 it was contributed by: Adam Sj�gren <asjo@diku.dk>. Thanks!
506 - X-Window background fixed
507 - wavfile overreading fixed by Andrew C. Bul+hac?k (acb@zikzak.net)
508 - Using portable type definitions now where required. If you don't
509 have a <sys/types.h> on your system and your machines type sizes
510 equal those of an X86-machine you can specify -DUSE_X86_TYPES in
511 Makefile to compile without <sys/types.h>
512 - Slight change in audiodevice-handling that fixes improper buffsize
513 settings on some soundcards (e.g. GUS)
514 - Implemented "keep device open"-feature. Needs to be enabled via the
515 -DKEEP_DEV_OPEN switch in Makefile
516 - Added some comments to the Makefile for easier editing
517 - Added Big Endian support. Use -DBIG_ENDIAN_MACHINE for big endian hosts
518 like ultrapenguin suns or linux ppc. There's also -DBIG_ENDIAN_AUDIO
519 for big endian audio hardware (rare?) available, although proabably
520 nobody will need this.
521 - Changed mix behaviour: Mix is now automatically turned on on startup if
522 the user has specified a proper loop file. (with the --loop or -l switch)
523 - New mixing routine. You can now set the loop to scratch volume ratio with
524 the cursor keys (left/right). If you modify the volumes while recording
525 these action's will not be recorded. Saving happens with the currently
527 - Fixed README-Bug said <m> instead of <x>
530 - first released version
531 - added colors. more standard use of X11.
532 - added loop support.
533 - added statusbar with mode/status display
534 - added commandline options and help (on usage and keys)
535 - added raw/mixed save scratch feature
536 - added licmak to include license into binary
537 - new handling of XAutoRepeat, only turned off now when SPACE pressed.
538 - modified wave display (faster + nicer + incorrect (who cares anyway))
539 - Makefile fixed by Adrian Reber (adreit00@fht-esslingen.de)
545 - added recording, playback of recording functionality
548 - moved from multithreaded to singlethreaded
554 - no more position display due to pthread/X probs
560 - accelerating vtt via sinus
