To compile this program, you will need to download wxWindows from: http://www.wxwindows.org/ To compile under Linux, simply run: ./configure make If you want to do any development, you might want to generate dependencies: make dep For more information on compilation on other platforms (VC++ for Windows and CodeWarrior for Mac are supported) please email Dominic Mazzoni . ------------------------------------------------------------- Known problems: * Windows: The floating tool palette does not minimize when minimizing a project window. As a workaround, you can just keep the tool palette docked with the project window. ------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in 0.94: * Preferences dialog (Joshua Haberman) * OGG Vorbis import (Joshua Haberman) * Silence, Insert Silence commands * Split and Duplicate commands * Mac OS X support * Supports recording on Mac OS 8 and 9 * Many bug fixes Changes in 0.93: * Displays playback/recording position indicator * Keeps track of some preferences * Supports arbitrary project sample rate * Mac: opens documents from the Finder * Floating tool palette is now dockable (and docked by default) * Fixed bugs in handling multiple open projects * Supports recording (Windows, Linux) * Frequency Window displays note names (i.e. C4, G#5) * Many bug fixes for effects, including VST plug-in effects Changes in 0.92: * Added Frequency Plot window and improved Spectrum display * Fixed bug in File:Open when the file to be opened was actually a large WAV file Changes in 0.91: * Uses xaudio library to import mp3 files * Zoom menu Changes in 0.9: * New floating tool palette with four tools (selection, sliding, zooming, and envelope editing) plus play and stop buttons * Playback now mixes tracks, and you can work with the document while listening. The stop button works. * Rewritten file handling functions. The main view is no longer dependent on the wxWindows DocView classes, so we can handle files ourselves. The project file format is now text-based for easy debugging. Eventually it will probably move to XML. * Improved handling of wave tracks: as before, the data is stored in blocks, but now, the blocks are correctly limited to betweek n and 2n bytes each (for some n), which guarantees editing operations always take the same amount of time, while also ensuring that projects don't get more fragmented over time. * Rewritten user interface code. The shades of gray are taken from the OS, and the project window has been redesigned to have more consistent layout across all platforms. * Selecting "Open" now does the smart thing, opening a project if you give it a project, or importing a WAV file if you give it that. * Flashing cursor indicates the current editing position * Much improved ruler - besides looking nicer, the ruler now displays the selection and the cursor. * The zoom tool centers on the cursor so you can zoom into wherever you are.
