- VoxWare v2.90 release notes
- --------------------------
-
-
- This version includes some hidden features which
- are described in the file experimental.txt
- Some of these features are not enabled by default. Look at
- experimental.txt for more info.
-
- I just decided to release this version with some
- incompletely implemented features disabled since
- there are some new features required by a popular
- application. In addition there is also support
- for the GUS MAX and the 16 bit sampling option of GUS.
-
- The MSS/WSS support works now. At least with SG NX Pro 16.
-
- ********* IMPORTANT *****************************************
- Linux 1.0 or later is required to by this driver version.
-
- Don't distribute binaries which use /dev/sequencer and are
- compiled with the soundcard.h of this version. They will
- not work with version 2.x of the driver.
- *************************************************************
-
-
- You will need the snd-util-2.5.tar.gz and snd-data-0.1.tar.Z
- packages to use this driver. They should be in the same
- ftp site or BBS from where you got this driver. For
- example at nic.funet.fi:pub/OS/Linux/*.
-
- If you are looking for the installation instructions, please
- look at linux/Readme.
-
- Compatibility with the earlier versions
- ---------------------------------------
-
- This version is backward compatible with the version 2.X. All programs
- compiled with sys/soundcard.h of v2.X should work without problems.
- PROGRAMS COMPILED WITH THE sys/soundcard.h OF THIS VERSION WILL NOT
- WORK WITH v2.X DRIVER. BE CAREFUL WHEN DISTRIBUTING BINARIES COMPILED
- FOR THIS VERSION.
