What's new in 1.6?
• I became tired of continually having to explain to people about mac
file types, so I wrote a file filter function for the Open File dialog
box which displays ALL files with a .mpg suffix. This should make use a
lot easier for novices.
• Fixed a bug that involved writing to NULL.
• Fixed a bug that prevented IBP type MPEGs from rewinding when they
reached the end and the play button was hit twice.
What's new in 1.5.2?
• I was disposing of a handle twice (specifically I was disposing of a
pixmap and then its colortable, not realizing that DisposPixMap took
care of the colortable for me.) Thanks to Dan Sears for pointing this out.
I never noticed a problem due to this bug, but it's probably good to
have killed it.
Whats New in 1.5.1?
• One part of my speed optimizing code was not being initialized properly.
This caused a very specific type of MPEG file to show parts of its first
frame as greenish blobs. Now fixed.
• The code to detect errors in a corrupted MPEG file has been made even
more robust. Substantially better recovery from such errors, by
rebuilding the lost parts of a frame from the previous frame, has been
introduced. Thanks to a wonderfully corrupt MPEG file I pulled off
usenet with about 15 misc errors in it for pointing out new and
ingenious ways to fail.
• New icons, courtesy of Richard Lim in Britain. I hope you like them.
You will have to rebuild the desktop to see them.
