*** Prepare yourself for a major 3.0 update out at the end of summer! ***
New for version 2.8
===================
FIX: Loading instrument with DataTypes now works correctly.
FIX: Instrument modes 8 and 4 was incorrectly set when saving Oktalyzer
modules.
FIX: Big bug in file requester found and killed. The ASL file requester
was broken, but I didn't notice because I always use RTPatch on my
system.
FIX: Fixed a problem with NT/PT FineTune.
FIX: Some memory did not free when user aborted loading/saving of a
ST/NT/PT module.
ADD: Support for 6CHN/8CHN modules (not tested). Thanks to A.Booker
for suggesting this.
ADD: XModule now supports loading signed and unsigned 8-bit samples.
FIX: Instrument longer than 128K are correctly clipped when saving
to ST/NT/PT.
FIX: Memory wasn't freed when loading an instrument over an already
existing one.
CHANGE: Windows are now simple refreshed. Slower but eats a lot less memory.
FIX: Now the DefaultTool for icons created by XModule contain the
correct pathname.
CHANGE: Code has been optimized and rearranged in many parts,
especially the user interface. This should fix some potential
bugs and make it easier to add new features quickly. Locale
support and context-sensitive help are almost ready.
ADD: Some new shortcut keys; more keyboard control over gadgets
available for Kickstart V39+.
ADD: Documentation cleaned up and some parts added.
FIX: Possible small memory loss when closing a window.
FIX: When iconifies, XModule now tries to use its-own icon instead of the
Workbench default Tool icon.
FIX: Screen re-opening bug which caused XModule to illegally close
someone else's screen in some cases.
ADD: Many new gadgets in Sample editor (yet some are inactive).
ADD: Range marker in Sample window.
FIX: SaveFormat window text positions were incorrect.
FIX: Newly created songs now have 1 empty pattern allocated.
This fixed enforcer hits when saving empty songs.
ADD: Three different methods for rendering samples (the code was already
there since version 2.7 but I didn't add the menu items).
CHANGE: Removed DETACH Shell option, it caused too many bugs.
ADD: Some new (undocumented) ARexx commands.
ADD: Added settings file saving/loading.
ADD: Added Log window.
New for version 2.7
===================
FIX: Fixed occasional hits when closing a window.
FIX: Bug in IFF 8SVX saver found & killed.
CHANGE: Faster sample graph drawing under V39+.
ADD: ScreenMode requester.
New for version 2.6
===================
CHANGE: XModule now requires Kickstart V37 instead of V36.
FIX: Instruments ViewList under Kick 2.0 is now displayed correctly.
CHANGE: Assembler startup as been rewritten (smaller & bugs fixed).
ADD: Sequence editor is now fully operative!
ADD: Progress indicator finally sports a percentage bar!
ADD: Can now detach from the Shell.
FIX: The documentation has been revised and corrected.
FIX: Enforcer hits occurrred in Progress Panel under some rare conditions.
New for version 2.5
===================
FIX: Problem (read: guru) when trying to save as Sound/Noise/ProTracker
a module having the first pattern longer than 64 lines.
FIX: Oktalyzer saver used to set mode 8 for all instruments.
FIX: Sample editor did not update Repeat and Replen when opened.
FIX: the Repeat value was doubled when loading SoundTracker modules and
halved when saving.
CHANGE: Numbers in sequence list are now displayed in decimal format.
FIX: Some weird SoundTracker 15 instrument module did not
load correctly.
ADD: Installer script included in the distribution.
ADD: MagicWB icons for XModule and its documentation.
CHANGE: Documentation improved a little.
New for version 2.4
===================
ADD: Can now load raw samples.
ADD: Added DataTypes support to load instruments.
ADD: Can now load raw data as instrument.
FIX: Illegal characters in instrument names are now filtered out.
FIX: Sample graphic now clips correctly.
FIX: Fine tune was not saved in SoundTracker modules.
New for version 2.3
===================
ADD: Asyncronous FileRequesters.
ADD: Asl & ReqTools FileRequester support.
FIX: Didn't accept some SoundTracker effects.
New for version 2.2
===================
ADD: XModule now sports an ARexx port featuring two (2) commands,
one of which does not work yet!
ADD: When opening on the Workbench screen, the main window is now an
AppWindow. You can drop module icons on it and see them loaded
auto-magically!
ADD: Command line & Tool Types arguments are now supported.
FIX: Save Fromat panel works a little better now.
New for version 2.1
===================
FIX: Status display routines did sometimes crash.
ADD: Sample graphic display is now a little nicer and clips (almost)
correctly.
ADD: There is now a Save Format requester, but it is still not fully
functional.
ADD: Sound/Noise/ProTracker loader now warns notes with 0 as instrument
number. I discovered that some composers (for istance
AudioMonster) use this trick instead of command C00 to kill sound
on a track. The problem is that some players (e.g.: MultiPlayer 1.32)
will play some random data instead. I had no time to investigate
deeper, but a solution could be to replace such notes with a C00
effect, loosing the original effect if any (such as speed commands).
In this cases you will have to fix the module manually.
CHANGE: Sequence window look has drastically changed and includes a
list to pick patterns from ( It is not operative, thoug :-( ).
CHANGE: Repeat and Replen moved to Sample window.
