- 4/30 REL: RELEASED VERSION 1.30. Major bugfix.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 4/30 FIX: The Startup Minimized option is working correctly now.
- 4/30 FIX: The Startup Playing option is working again.
- 4/29 FIX: FUM is gone! FUM describes the condition where DMPlayer would
- skip to the next song after playing just a few seconds and
- eventually crash. It no longer does this!
- 4/26 NEW: Added support for more E commands. Now supports Fine Portamento
- Up/Down, Set Finetune, Pattern Loop, Retrig Note, Fine Volume
- Up/Down, Note Cut, Note Delay, and Pattern Delay.
- 4/26 NEW: Added support for sample finetuning. Finally! This is a major
- improvement in the quality of the playback.
- 4/20 FIX: SongList entries that were filtered out were confusing the list,
- resulting in a 'Loading Getting Details...' message.
- 3/15 CHG: Possible speed up on some systems.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 12/27 REL: RELEASED VERSION 1.20. Fairly major revision.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- 12/18 CHG: Opening multiple MOD's from the WPS should be much safer now.
- 12/18 FIX: Dramatically reduced the number of hard lockups by handling
- exceptions and stopping MMPM/2 before the system deadlocks!
- 12/17 FIX: Aha! Finally fixed the 'Skip at the beginning of the song' bug.
- MMPM/2 has the tendency to lie just a bit when it starts to
- play a playlist and DMPlayer has to take this into account.
- 12/16 CHG: You no longer need to input the path of a shell to run. DMPlayer
- automatically uses [BOOT]:\OS2\CMD.EXE.
- 10/11 CHG: The buttons reflect the state of the player now!
- 10/11 CHG: The SongList no longer goes through a weird 'Getting details...'
- process. Items are inserted with all info attached.

- good thing, just ask Glade.

- Glade Diviney.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
