- This is the history of NED PLAYER development:
- ##############################################
-
- v3.1 - March 8 1998 (ATARI COMPUTING version)
- =============================================
- - added AIFF format (APPLE, ATARI)
- - added IFF format (Amiga)
- - for the first time used patch for mSTe with FPU M68882
- - better timing (direct from disk)
- - some bugs from v3.0 removed
-
-
- v3.0 - March 26 1998
- ====================
- - new loading, depacking and diagnostic routines
- (more memory effective up to 50%)
- - new informatory window
- - added HSN sound format
- - direct from disk playing
- - killing bug in SW MODE removed
- - new shareware fee
-
- (v2.A FALCON ALFA)
-
- v2.A - 19.10.1997
- =================
- - DVS delta packed data decoding routine
- - DVI/IMA ADPCM decoding bug fixed
- - if it don't have enough memory for loading whole file, it will play
- a part only (you shouldn't see NO MEMORY alert).
-
- v2.9 - 11.9.1997
- ================
- - small optimize in MS ADPCM routine (it is still C routine)
- - while MS ADPCM or DVI ADPCM file is decoding you can stop this
- process by CONTROL-C (window must be opened)
- - fixed bug in DVS recognizing (none standard frequency should be now OK)
- - small GEM change (mouse form and correct window events when ADPCM
- file is decoding)
- - new AV functions (AV_PROTOKOLL, AV_EXIT, AV_SENDKEY, AV_ACCWINDOPEN,
- AV_ACCWINDCLOSED, VA_DRAGACCWIND)
-
- v2.8 - 26.8.1997
- ================
- There has been made many changes in this version:
- - Microsoft ADPCM decoding routine for WAV files. Source code of it
- originally comes from Microsoft, so it is so slow :)
- - DVI ADPCM decoding routine. It is using for depack 4 bits mono
- files only (not 3 or 2 bits). There is also a stupid bug. I can't
- find it. I will have to ask someone for help.
- - A-law for SND/AU
- - Fast RAM support for data
- - Some others changes in code that I can't remaind.
-
- v2.7 - 12.8.1997
- ================
- Now it supports mu-law (WAV and SND/AU) and A-law (WAV) file formats.
- I have also fixed silly bug in converting routine from 16 to 8 bits.
-
- v2.6 - 21.7.1997
- ================
- SW MODE is now available in stereo. I also made small change in
- VA_START routine.
-
- v2.5 - 21.2.1997
- ================
- Ned Player now use file N_PLAYER.INF. You can set in this file
- playonce as default. This file is also used for registrating.
-
- v2.4 - 10.2.1997
- ================
- This is the first shareware version. Now Ned Player recognize 16 bits
- files and automatically it will convert into standard 8 bits sound
- format. I have also modified WAV file recognizing.
-
- v2.3 - 21.12.1996
- =================
- AVR sound file format has been added.
-
- v2.2 - 22.11.1996
- =================
- In this version I have added VA_START protocol. I find it very useful
- with programs such as Thing, LZH shell, CAB and many others. I think
- this is the best way how you can listen sounds from Internet via CAB.
-
- v2.1 - 20.10.1996
- =================
- Some bugs has been fixed. Now you can also use keyboard commands and
- run Ned Player with shell parameters.
-
- v2.0 - 7.9.1996
- ===============
- SW MODE added. It means that you can change smooth frequency from 6 to
- 25 kHz (in mono). Now it also automatically recognize some sounds
- formats (SAM, DVS, SND, AU, WAV). NED Player now use two different RSC
- files. One for small resolutions such as 320x200 and 640x200. And
- another one is for all others.
-
- v1.0 - 16.7.1996
- ================
- The first version I have done. It doesn't recognize any file format.
- It can play samples at standard STE hardware rates.
