-
- * v2.2a, 20-feb-1993
- Stop-command changed: in Protracker mode, a zero speed command
- stops the player at the current location - restart it with 'PLAY',
- while in non-protracker mode it is simply ignored.
- Internals adapted to the lower F030 sampling freq's (KHz) in STE
- DMA mode:
- ST STE TT F030
- Hi: 6.1 12.5 12.6 12.3
- Med: 9.6 25 25.1 24.6
- Low: 12.2 50 50.3 49.2
- This change was necessary because the sampling frequency difference
- between a TT and a F030 is such that it gives 35 cent pitch change
- (awful for musicians!!).
-
- * v2.2, 1-feb-1993
- Correct CIA-timing implemented. Paula is now the only player which
- is really compatible to every MOD-format - including the very old
- Soundtracker 1.2 format introduced 1986 by K. Obarski.
- New hardware register access code - should now work on the FALCON
- if it is in 'STE-Compatibility-mode'.
- Old 15-instrument modules are always considered as non-protracker
- compliant.
- Finetune routines will also work with non-standard period values to
- be more compatible to some PC mod editors.
-
- * v2.1c, 11-jan-1993
- Bugfix in the PT2.1 replay routine - one asm opcode changed.
-
- * v2.1b, 1-jan-1993
- Improved chip emulator (resampling routines): very short, looped
- samples are now played much more precise at low sampling rates.
- When loading a file with the main window opened, a busybee is
- displayed.
- Bugfix: the 'Note Delay' Command was erroneous. Any player based on
- the 'PT-Replay 1.1B'-Routine will experience this bug.
- The play routine has also been updated to >>> PROTRACKER 2.1A <<<.
-
- * v2.1a, 30-oct-1992
- Bugfixes: 1. the lz5 depack routine had some problems with
- MultiTOS' memory protection...
- 2. if one MOD was corrupted the following MOD was always
- assumed to be a packed one -> crash. But only on registered copies.
- Bad, very BAD...
- 3. samples longer than 64 Kbyte were problematic
-
- * v2.1, 18-oct-1992
- Added AFX/Lz5 packed module support. Packed MODs are only useable
- with registered PAULA releases.
- Hint: instead of having AFX.PRG depacking your MODs, let Paula do
- this job. It's faster!
-
- * v2.0d
- Bugfix: a single MOD was always repeated in earlier versions.
-
- * v2.0c
- ?bugfix, dunno what.
-
- * v2.0b, 27-aug-1992
- Bug related to LetEmFly fixed. (bug report: M. Schmitz)
-
- * v2.0a, 23-aug-1992
- The length of the 'key'-field had to be changed to 16 chars.
-
- * v2.0, 20-aug-1992
- From now on, Paula is Shareware. Further releases will include new
- features which will only be operational if you got a registered
- copy.
- Most parts have been rewritten from scratch in C.
- A new sequencer, the PROTRACKER PLAYER v1.1b has been built in -
- that guarantees maximum 'Amiga'-compatibility.
- The Amiga Soundchip emulator has been enhanced; interpolation is
- now as fast as it can be on 68030's.
-
- * v1.0 through v1.9
- Well, these versions are still freeware...
