History file for SmartPlay v3.0 by Xtreme Intelligence
========================================================
The history file of the SmartPlay versions 1.0-1.4b was removed in the
2.0 release, as the whole SmartPlay progam was re-written, and all those
previous bugfixes went obsolete. This file will now contain all changes
in the 2.x and later versions of SmartPlay.
VERSION 3.0 - Rel. 930316:
==========================
Program size: 28416 bytes > 6216+
Source size: 106899 bytes > 24463+
Since Last release: 41 days of hard(?) work..
As SmartPlay once again got radically modified, the version number
changed to 3.0. The userinterface is really improved, and you may now
select your modules right out of the programlist just by clicking on the
mainwindow! A small listgadget was added for this purpose, and the other
buttons where somewhat shuffled around. All proportional gadgets, as the
volume and balance knobs, are now updated in realtime. This should make
them even more comfortable to use..
SmartPlay also got a FASTMEMORY replayer for ST/NT/PT modules, so you'll
now be able to play REALLY big modules on your 512K chip Amiga. This
option is not fully tested yet, but works fine on a normal 7.09Mhz A500,
without any loss of performance on highspeed serial transfers and normal
multitasking. Read more in the DOC file about this nice option..
SmartPlay will now properly allocate the AudioChannels, so there should
be _no_ problems with other programs alert-sounds. The channels are only
allocated as long as SmartPlay is plaing a module, so all channels are
deallocated again when you STOP or PAUSE your module. The REPEAT PROGRAM
option in the configuration was replaced by a more useful ALLOC CHANNELS
ON/OFF switch.
The EXCTRACT command for the LhA is now configurable form the config-
window. For LZ and LhA, the line "-N e >NIL:" should work just fine, but
if you are using the new LhA standard, the -q option can be used instead
of the -N and >NIL: commands. (If you have enough memory, a -b400 option
added to this string will make the I/O buffer big enough for big modules
too..! You can add any LhA supported option to this string..)
More -lhx- standards supported.
The height of the ReqTools filerequesters will now be the default height
defined in the ReqTools preferences. The ReqTools prefs program is now
also included in the SmartPlay archive.
All error-requesters will now be centered on the SmartPlay window.
Some problems with the proportional gadgets, using big ScreenFontSizes
removed.
The SidMon1.0, SidMon II, BPSoundMon, SoundFX v1.3, PowerMusic, Promizer
v1.8, and old SoundTracker 15instrument formats added. ST/NT/PT SONG
files are now supported too.
The smartreplay.library is now obsolete, as smartplay now uses small
Splay_xxx.libraries instead of one big lib containing all the replayers.
A bunch of other small bugs & problems fixed.
VERSION 2.1 - Rel. 930203:
==========================
Program size: 22200 bytes > 5020+
Source size: 82436 bytes > 17244+
Since Last release: 62 days of hard(?) work..
In this version some new features was added, and some bugs from the 2.0
version was removed. The problems while loading some Med&Octamed modules
is now removed.
Digital Sound Studio (MMU0) modules now supported trough the SmartRePlay
library (lib.version 2.0). A bug in the FutureComposer replayer fixed as
well.
LhA packed modules now supported. A minor problem with some PowerPacked
modules removed.
The CD-Interface got a new outlook. The CHIP-Mem usage was also reduced,
when the images where reorganized.
The configutarion menu was replaced with a configuration window. Some
new options added to the configuration.
Balance and Volume gadgets added to the Main-Window. The values will be
stored in the configuration file.
Both the Configuration, and the Program List windows will now be opened
at the same position of the screen as the Main-Window.
Zoom code fixed. In the 2.0 version, the CD-Interface window didn't grow
enough, if it was un-zoomed at a bad position of the screen.
Some probelms with really big screenfontsizes removed.
The next/prev SongPosition buttons on the interface window is now unused
when playing other than normal ST/NT/PT modules.
An annoying bug was removed, wich caused SmartPlay to crash if there was
no ReqTools.Library available. (Thanx to Sheikh for reporting this bug).
VERSION 2.0 - Rel. 921203:
==========================
Archive size: 54690 bytes
Program size: 17180 bytes
Source size: 65192 bytes
The 2.0 version was a major update of the SmartPlay program. Now Smart-
Play features a nice CD-Style userinterface, and a easy-to-use program-
list editor. As the code was completly re-written, there was some funny
small bugs in this version.
VERSIONS 1.0-1.5a Rel. 921003-921110:
=====================================
These old versions from v1.0 (Program size 6364 bytes:) to 1.5a was only
designed to play ST/NT/PT modules, without any windows or programlists.
The versions between 1.5 and 2.0 was skipped, when the program was re-
written from scratch. The bugifxes etc. of these previous versions are
not included in this history file anymore.
