The Player ® 6.0A 600.1 / 13.01.94
Copyright © 1992-94 Jarno Paananen
Guru / Sahara Surfers
A Sahara Surfers Product 1994
Releases, new features, changes, bugfixes and everything else:
+ = New feature
* = Change
- = Bugfix
! = Major event
600.2 / 22.01.94
* Some minor optimizations.
! "Soon" to be released: PS3M (Play S3M) for playing those wonderful
S3M-modules on your favorite machine! Most of the code is ready,
"only" looser-interface is missing...
600.2 / 13.01.94
+ Added support for timing using unused E8-command. Label P60_E8
contains the last info nybble played, so you can use it to
synchronize your routines and other events to the music. Command 8
could not be used, 'cause it is used for arpeggios... Thanks Shayera!
600.2 / 11.01.94
* P60A-to-MOD-converter now also supports modules with 4-bit samples.
600.2 / 10.01.94
* 4-bit-delta-system rewritten for adding support for 5-7 bit deltas in
the (near?) future. The sound quality improved as a side effect, but
the packing also slowed down. Everything has its costs, but I think
this is worth it anyway... You really should try it.
600.2 / 02.01.94
+ XPK-support added. All references to Powerpacked files or FImped files
also apply to XPK-files. Notice the new version number at last...
600.1 / 01.01.94
* To celebrate the new year, Devpac-versions updated to P60 and some
optimizations made with the replay.
* Some changes in Player6.i due to those DevPacs
600.1 / 18.12.93
- Some fixes with P60-2-mod-converter. Ok, Simply?
600.1 / 07.12.93
- Fixed a bug when trying to use both normal and 4-bit delta format.
Thanx Commander Z!
600.1 / 06.12.93
* To honor Finland's 76th birthday, some fixes with filerequesters.
600.1 / 13.11.93
- Some error handling bugs in P60 fixed. Thanx once again, Simply!
+ Some new error messages, mostly between P60 and P60con. Also
communication between those two is now much better.
* The clock in P60 is now updated when the window is inactive. Also
pause works fine now. Sorry for the flicking titlebar under KS1.3,
but that's not my fault... Is it ok now, Simply?
600.1 / 12.11.93
* Reduced memory consumption on chip-only machines
- Finally fixed The Freezing Bug!
* If no samples are packed, even if the option is on, packing info
is no more included.
600.1 / 09.11.93
- Fixed a bug in sample packing-selector. Sample offsets were calculated
from P60-module, but samples were still as in PT-module.
600.1 / 29.10.93
* Some changes with sample offset (command 9) to make it totally
Protracker-compatible. Has anyone noticed how illogical Protracker
can be?
600.1 / 25.10.93
- MAJOR! bug fixed with total systemkillers. The bug occured only when
options were system=0, CIA=0, Exec=0 and ExecBase was destroyed. The
cause was a "tiny" possibility that a lev6-irq might occur between
P60_Init and P60_Music and this hanged the system, because the irq was
done through system lev6-handler... So this was The Bug, Sami
Karjalainen and Fraction. Million thanks to you both and even more
apologies for all the trouble this has caused you...
600.1 / 21.10.93
+ Exec-option implemented. Use if you have destroyed your ExecBase!
+ Implemented some listing for the options used.
600.1 / 20.10.93
- Fixed bugs with "two files"-option. Thanx Sami!
600.1 / 15.10.93
- Fixed a bug in memory management of P60.
600.1 / 06.10.93
- Found and fixed a bug in UseCode-system. Tsunami: This was it! Should
work correctly now.
600.1 / 02.10.93
+ Added clock to P60.
600.1 / 21.09.93
- Bug with SizeWindow fixed by making checkings to the screen limits. No
more crashes under <V36 Kickstarts.
600.1 / 05.09.93
- Some last minute bugfixes.
* New icon!
600.1 / 03.09.93
+ Option to choose which samples to pack. Improves the soundquality
drastically.
600.0 / 19.08.93
+ Option to pack samples implemented. Idea is from Dweezil / CNCD, but
the code is completely my own.
* Changes in fileformat. P50to60-converter implemented.
505.0 / 09.08.93
+ Made invert loop, slows down a bit (~1 line per channel).
- Infamous bug with pattern loop fixed.
505.0 / 30.07.93
! Ready to be released at Assembly'93?
505.0 / 29.07.93
* P50 rewritten.

* Replay made even faster, again with pattern loop.
+ Opt020-feature finally made.
+ DevPac-version made.
505.0 / 27.07.93
- P50con and P50 didn't free their own segments correctly. Fixed.
505.0 / 26.07.93
* Pattern loop changed to a better place in the replay --> faster!
- Bug with multiple pattern breaks fixed.
+ FImp-support implemented. All files can be FImped as well as
Powerpacked, except the config file :)
505.0 / 20.07.93
- Bug in delta-decoder fixed, decoded one word too much.
- Bug with pattern breaks in the last row fixed.
* Preferences format standardized, check your tempo-settings!
505.0 / 08.07.93
! After complete HD-disaster, back on the track!
- Minor bugs corrected here and there.
+ After calling P50_End, filter is returned to its original state
instead of just turning it on.
505.0 / 22.06.93
+ Delta-format samples implemented. Fully compatible fileformat, but
pre-versions can't play these delta-modules :)
505.0 / 19.06.93
* Major rewrite in packing system. Parts 2 and 3 merged into one
faster routine.
+ Mainmenu and prefswindow now open centered to any sized
Workbench screen and take note of the titlebar font.
