6 Version 0.8
7 ===========
8 * Theme-song (SID-tune!) from Brite-Lite/Dekadence!
9 Thanks for great work! Listen to his other tunes
10 in HVSC, VARIOUS/A-F/Brite-Lite/ and visit the
11 Dekadence web-experience: http://www.dekadence64.org/
12
13 * Support for libSIDPlay 2.x! If you have 1.x too,
14 you can select which one to use in the configuration
15 dialog.
16
17 * Song-length support! Several methods supported:
18
19 - Maximum playtime setting. If set ON, song will be
20 played for given time. This can be used as a
21 fall-back method if a detection is selected, but
22 it fails.
23
24 1) No song-length detection. XMMS-SID plays the song
25 forever, OR if max-playtime is set, for that time.
26
27 2) Pseudo-heuristic silence detector.
28 Allows the user to define a "silent time limit"
29 with amplitude percentage. When the average output
30 volume has stayed on specified percentage for
31 specified time, next song is started.
32
33 3) HVSC song-length database support. XMMS-SID now
34 supports the XSIDPLAY's song-length database for
35 tunes contained in HVSC collection. This is
36 probably the best option, but requires downloading
37 of a small package (few hundred kB's), that contains
38 the database. Read "README" for more info.
39
40
41 * Improved file information dialog:
42
43 - Coloring in "comment"-field, if multiple entries
44 are present there.
45
46 - Sub-song "name" or "title" is shown (if any) in the
47 sub-song selector. If "name" is found for the song,
48 it is shown, if not, then "title" is checked for
49 and shown if found.
50
51
52 * XMMS v1.2.5 introduced the "generic title format" that
53 can be used to have same format titles for those
54 plugins that support it. XMMS-SID is now one of them.
55 There is also an overriding option, that enables you
56 to have SID-specific titles. See the configuration
57 dialog for more information.
58
59
60 * New SIDAmp-style sub-song selector window. Does not
61 require patching of XMMS, so this is easier to use.
62 The patch is not used by XMMS-SID, but included for
63 those who want the additional functionality it provides
64 for other plugins.
65
66
67 * Throw in a handful of bugfixes (and possibly new bugs),
68 stir powerfully. Finally, sprinkle some minor improvements
69 on the top and voéla!
