Thanks Paul Brossier <piem {at} altern {dot} org>
* Added Close and Quit menu entries
* When launching several Jackbeats, there was a JACK client name conflict:
fixed. Thanks Paul Brossier <piem {at} altern {dot} org>
-- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier {at} samalyse {dot} com> Sun, 16 Oct 2005 23:07:46 +0200
jackbeat (0.5.3)
* Added basic command line options
* Loading a jab or changing the resampler type stopped the playblack :
fixed, the beat goes on. Thanks Remy Lalanne <lalanne.remy {at} wanadoo {dot} fr>
* The transport type setting wasn't saved : fixed. Thanks Remy
Lalanne <lalanne.remy {at} wanadoo {dot} fr>
* When reading the sigsev handler message, users were likely to send the
backtrace only: fixed that message. Hopefully they will now send the
whole console output.
-- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier {at} samalyse {dot} com> Wed, 14 Sep 2005 19:57:49 +0200
jackbeat (0.5.2)
* Segfault when changing the pitch on a empty track : fixed, thanks
Guillaume Pellerin (http://yomix.org)
* The beats animation is very cpu-intensive : increased the refresh
period to 1000 ms as a temporary workaround
* The SIGSEV handler is not portable : now including it only when
compiling on i386. Thanks Paul Brossier (http://piem.org)
-- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier {at} xung {dot} org> Mon, 20 Jun 2005 00:08:24 +0200
jackbeat (0.5.1)
* Added a SIGSEV handler to dump the backtrace to stdout on crash
(glibc's execinfo)
* Samples filename extension were not correctly striped : fixed
* Not writing the resampler type into jab files anymore : this setting
belongs exclusively to the rc file
* wrote a lightweight basic resampler : greatly reduces the cpu load,
performing about 5 times faster than libsamplerate's linear converter
-- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier {at} xung {dot} org> Wed, 18 May 2005 20:24:49 +0200
jackbeat (0.5.0)
* Added pitch and volume controls
* Rewrote the sample history
* Masking beats might produce clicks : added an attack/release envelope
* Now converting sample rate in realtime instead of doing it when
loading a sample
* The song was not marked as modified when (un)muting a track, neither
when enabling/disabling a mask : fixed
* Muting/unmuting a track is now wrapped by a an attack/release envelope
(as masking) to avoid clicks
* Sometimes tryed to highlight an unexistent beat, segfault'ing : fixed
* Added standalone Mute buttons.
* Changed the "Play" button into Play and Pause icons
* Added a Rewind button
* Now require GTK >= 2.6 (was >= 2.0)
* Added an option to select the converter type to be used by libsamplerate
* Fixed a bug with the XML description generation : float numbers (bpm,
pitch, volume, etc..) were written in a locale-sensitive manner, which
either wrote points or commas. Now always using the C locale internally.
* Added a volume "transposer" feature : acts as a pseudo-master,
transposing all tracks volumes by a given percentage
* New "Smoothing" feature : a sample starting over itself might produce a
click. This feature uses a short envelope to kindly stop the sample
before its gets started again. It is enabled by default on all tracks.
-- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier {at} xung {dot} org> Tue, 3 May 2005 15:52:31 +0200
jackbeat (0.4.3)
* New track-masking feature : allows to insert silences into a track, as
requested by Guillaume Pellerin (http://yomix.org)
* When loading the same sample on several tracks, these tracks were
automatically assigned identical names, which caused Jack ports to
conflict : a dialog now opens, asking for an alternate name. Additionally,
it is possible to rename tracks at any time
* Serious bug which left temporary data into /tmp everytime a jab file was
loaded, including extracted sample files : corrected
* And a few cosmetic fixes
-- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier {at} xung {dot} org> Tue, 12 Apr 2005 22:20:23 +0200
jackbeat (0.4.2)
* Support for sample rate conversion when loading samples, to match
Jack's framerate : added, using libsamplerate's best converter
* Progress bars when loading/saving samples/sequences : added, in a modal
window
* Some variables names in sample loading routines were obscure : clarified
* Unused samples were not cleant up : fixed, now freeing associated memory
* With Jack already rolling, lauching Jackbeat produced some noise : fixed
* Muting/unmuting a track often failed due to an IPC bug : squashed
-- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier {at} xung {dot} org> Wed, 30 Mar 2005 19:51:02 +0200
jackbeat (0.4.1)
* Tracks/beats spin buttons where randomly stepping by 1 or 2 : fixed
* gcc was passed the -g option by default : suppressed. The binary size
droped from 530 to 80 kb. For debugging informations, run
"export CFLAGS=-g" before "./configure"
-- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier {at} xung {dot} org> Wed, 16 Mar 2005 18:33:53 +0100
jackbeat (0.4.0)
* When unsetting the active beat on a given track, the sample continued
playing. With an empty track, a long sample would then play entirely,
which is quite pointless : Unsetting an active beat now stops the track
* New "Double" feature : duplicate the sequence, copying beats
* Pattern nesting code was a nightmare : wiped out
* .jackbeat directory was not properly created : fixed
* Freeing unallocated pointers at shutdown : fixed
* Samples working directory wasn't saved at shutdown : fixed
* README file : corrected and updated
-- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier {at} xung {dot} org> Fri, 4 Mar 2005 15:05:16 +0100
jackbeat (0.3.3)
* Looping couldn't be turned off : fixed
* Experimental code for pattern nesting is very krash-prone : hidden until
it gets better
-- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier {at} xung {dot} org> Sun, 20 Feb 2005 20:09:42 +0100
jackbeat (0.3.2)
* Loading and saving song got rewritten : a new format is now implemented.
It stores metadata in an XML file, and samples as separate files in
a subdirectory. All that is then packed in a tar archive.
* The above feature adds a new requirement : libxml2 (http://xmlsoft.org)
-- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier {at} xung {dot} org> Wed, 6 Oct 2004 01:10:27 +0200
jackbeat (0.3.1)
* ftok() was passed the content of argv[0] (program name) as pathname.
That easily failed : fixed. Thanks Leito <leito69 {at} yahoo {dot} com>
-- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier {at} xung {dot} org> Fri, 20 Aug 2004 14:17:18 +0200
jackbeat (0.3.0)
* Note : This is a fork from version 0.2, so it does not include the
bugfixes of the subsequent 0.2 serie (0.2.1, ...). 80% of
the code has been rewritten, so changes are countless. I won't
enumerate them in here. This version is a development release,
with (enjoy ;-) broken features and high unstability.
* TODO file : that is the main new feature :-) Please contribute.
* Improved the visual effect while playing : now beats are highlighted
according to the sample duration
-- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier {at} xung {dot} org> Mon, 16 Aug 2004 21:08:02 +0200
jackbeat (0.2)
* The first frames of samples where almost never played : fixed
* Added support for JACK transport control (start, stop, and frame position)
* While playing, loading a sample always caused it to be played once:fixed
* Added a highlight effect to follow the sequence progress
* Changing the bpm rate when playing sometimes resulted in a
segfault : fixed
-- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier {at} xung {dot} org> Sat, 26 Jun 2004 15:11:44 +0200
jackbeat (0.1)
* Initial release
