Smurf v0.52.6 - Nov 1st 2001
- Fixed sequencer support for newest ALSA CVS (ALSA 0.9.0 versions less
  than 0.9.0beta6 are no longer supported)
- Added command line sound font file open feature as per user request
- Fixed AWE wavetable driver blank device file name bug

Smurf v0.52.5 - Sep 6th 2001
- New ALSA 0.9.0beta6+ sequencer support
- Improved handling of preference changes, config and state information now 
  saved in seperate files
- Command line switches for debugging purposes (disable drivers on
  startup, start with default preferences, "smurf --help" to see all options)
- Updated German translation

Smurf v0.52.1 - May 5th 2001
- ALSA <= 0.5.10b has problems with sample caching (kernel oopses) so it is
  disabled by default for these versions, also got rid of bi-directional
  sequencer access which appears to be broken with these versions

Smurf v0.52 - May 2nd 2001
- Load of entire sound fonts
- Wavetable sample caching
- Virtual sound font bank support (unfinished)
- ALSA CVS support
- Icons for sound font tree
- Better handling of piano and wavetable

Smurf v0.50.1a - Feb 6th 2001
- Fixed problem with autoconf always compiling audiofile

Smurf v0.50.1 - Jan 31st 2001
- Fixed a bug that caused crashes after closing sound fonts with
  shared samples (thanks to Shane Richards)
- Fixed bugs in Smurf ALSA driver code (thanks to Takashi Iwai)
- Now using RAW sample loading support in audiofile v0.2.0
- Autoconf now smarter about selecting audio library
- Updated documentation concerning new audiofile v0.2.0 library

Smurf v0.50.0 - Jan 1st 2001
- Paste items between or within sound fonts
- multiple undo/redo tree system
- ALSA sequencer support
- a nice splash intro image
- improved sound font tree right click menus
- friendlier spin buttons for setting sample loop points
- lower pane window switching is now faster
- lots of bug fixes
- configure script is more friendly

Smurf v0.49.5 - Jul 5th 2000
- libsndfile support
- raw and stereo sample loading
- key velocity set/view
- sample exporting
- root key set/view
- international language support (need translators!)
- find feature and goto items now work
- multiple item deletes
- limited native ALSA MIDI support (OSS emulation works with v0.5.8)
- sound font information set/view
- using Glade for some aspects of the GTK GUI

Smurf v0.49.1 - Mar 25th, 2000
- Removed initialization of OSS reserved variables in guspatch.c
- Configure script will now generate a spec file

Smurf v0.49 - Mar 20th, 2000
- Sound font tree is now GtkCTree rather than GtkTree resulting in much
  faster branch expansion/collapse when dealing with a lot of tree items
- Multiple sound fonts can be loaded (placed in sound font tree) copying
  between sound fonts isn't supported yet though
- Sample viewer created to set loop points and offsets for samples and
  instrument zones
- Selecting zones (preset or instrument) will select the corresponding span
  (note or velocity)
- Preset generators are viewable/settable
- Preferences stored in ~/.smurf/smurf.cfg including window geometry, default
  paths and sequencer type
- Partial support for GUS and SoftOSS drivers, it will only load a single
  sample and it isn't polyphonic (can't hold down more than one key) but this
  should let those who don't have an AWE know a little of what they are missing

Smurf v0.46 - Dec 6th, 1999
- Most SoundFont tree right click menu items now functional. "Find" and "Goto"
  type options still not implimented
- Fixed broken external MIDI implimentation (rewrite of MIDI event processing
  routine)
- Found way to get around keyboard auto repeat for virtual keyboard. Key
  looks like it is pressed until the auto repeat interval which causes a
  "release" followed by an immediate "press" event. A timeout function is
  sufficient to catch actual key releases from auto repeat releases
- More user interface code cleanup and organization
- Added a option menu on the toolbar for setting the virtual keyboard octave

Smurf v0.45 - Nov 8th, 1999
- Lots of inactive menu options resulting from right clicks on sound font
  tree and New Preset and New Instrument don't do anything either, this is to
  let you know that they are coming soon
- Using glib data types (GSList, GList, GArray, etc.) and memory chunks
  resulting in less memory consumption
- Generator window can be toggled between view and control mode
- Instrument generators can be viewed/controlled, preset generator view/ctrl
  has not been implimented yet
- Key span of preset/instrument zones can be set
- SoundFonts can be saved
- Samples can be loaded using the audiofile library (currently only 16 bit mono)
- A sfont dumping function for debugging purposes, outputs text description of
  soundfont to /tmp/smurf_dump.txt
- No Auto Repeat button on toolbar to turn off computer keyboard auto repeat,
  until a better way is discovered. NOTE: If keyboard is left with auto repeat
  off (if smurf crashes :) type "xset r on" from terminal to fix.
- SoundFont loading routines are more tolerant to unexpected data
- Several code modularizations/cleanup etc.

Smurf v0.40 - Sep 12th, 1999
- Initial release
