CDPlayer - Version 3.5 Windows - 23 August 1994

1       Under certain circumstances, the CD display froze at the end of
        custom or shuffle play.  This could cause the handset to become
        inoperable and the only cure was to close CDPlayer and launch it
        again.  This has been corrected.

CDPlayer - Version 3.4b Windows version - 22 May 1994

1       The option to "Keep on top" has been extended to the small handset
        and the system menu removed from the small handset as its only
        function was to allow you to return to the full handset.

        If the "Keep on top" box is checked in the Configuration dialog box,
        the system now displays the small handset on top of the current
        application as well as keeping the icon in view if the program is
        minimized.

2       Improvements have been made to the look of the buttons after they have
        been pressed.  The button which has focus (i.e. the last one pressed)
        now displays a blue symbol rather than a line surrounding the word.

3       At various points during the program it was possible to run two
        conflicting options simultaneously, e.g.  Browse and Fit tracks to
        time, and this could cause a GP fault.  Tests have now been included to
        ensure that when an option is active other conflicting options are not
        able to be run.

4       It appears that there was still a possibility of the database files
        being opened twice in some circumstances, resulting in the data
        becoming corrupt.  Further checks have been included to ensure that
        this cannot happen.

CDPlayer - Version 3.4b All platforms - 22 May 1994

5       The logic determining whether or not the drive is open or close has
        been improved and the system should now always open the drive even if
        there is no disk loaded and the display is showing "error".

CDPlayer - Version 3.4a All platforms - 15 January 1994

It was reported that none of the players would play above track 49 on any CD.
On investigation we discovered that this was the case and this release has
been made to correct the error.  All players will now play the full 99 tracks
allowed.  In addition, it is now also possible to programme tracks 50-99 using
the program pick list provided in the Windows version of the player.

TSR - Version 3.4a

On loading or unloading the program form memory, the system was setting the
screen colours to the handset display colour and leaving it in this state.  We
have changed the program so that it no longer changes the screen colours.

CDPlayer  - Version 3.4 (Windows) - 24 October 1993

Enhancement

1       A new line has been added to the config file (CONFIG.CDP) which
        controls the action of volume button.  On installation this line is set
        as NONE thereby indicating that no external program should be called to
        control volume.  If NONE is changed to show the path and name of the
        mixer program for your soundcard then the external program will be
        called rather than the internal volume dialog box.  E.g. for the
        Sound Blaster Pro the line may be C:\SBPRO\WINAPPL\SBPMIXER.

        CDPlayer will first try end execute the program identified here and
        then, if that fails, the internal dialog box.

        You can edit the configuration file with a text editor such as EDIT.


Bug fix

1       If the full handset was left on the screen for a long period of time
        (i.e. days) it consumed memory and would eventually stop responding.
        This has been corrected.

2       If, while the browse, edit or custom play windows were open, you
        inserted or changed a disc the system would attempt to read the
        details from the drive and then access the database.  This is due to a
        timer that activates CDPlayer every second for screen update and disc
        check.  This caused a conflict which could either result in a
        corruption of the database or a GP error.

        The programs have now been changed so that the timed access is
        suppressed when the windows are open.  The only side effect of this is
        that events which require the intervention of the main program, e.g.
        update disc times or play the next track of a custom program, will
        not happen until the browse window has been closed.

3       The option to select the CDROM to use in a multiple CD system was not
        working properly - this has been corrected.

CDPlayer  - Version 3.4 (DOS)

Bug fix

1       In some circumstances the mouse cursor could disappear for prolonged
        periods of time.  This has been corrected.
