It was the dawn of the third age of SID-kind, several years after the
XMMS-BMP War. The Unified Audacious+XMMS-SID Project was a dream given form.
Its goal: to prevent another war by creating a SID-plugin which would be
functional for both worlds, where Audacious and XMMS -related code could
work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call, home away from
home for coders, users, entrepreneurs, and wanderers. Humans and aliens
wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning code, all
alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last, best
hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the XMMS-SID releases.
The year is 2008. The name of the place is XMMS-SID 0.8.0rc2.

XMMS-SID - SIDPlay input plugin for X MultiMedia System (XMMS) ============================================================== List of user-visible changes in XMMS-SID (See ChangeLog for more complete listing of changes) Version 0.8 =========== * Complete re-write. * Support for multiple emulator libraries, including libSIDPlay 2.x! See instructions in "INSTALL" for more information. * Improved filter configuration. * HVSC song-length database support. XMMS-SID now supports the XSIDPLAY's song-length database for tunes contained in HVSC collection. Requires downloading of a small package (few hundred kB's), that contains the database. Read "README" for more info. * Minimum and maximum playtime settings. If enabled, song will be played for given time minimum and maximum. This can be used as a fall-back method if song-length database does not contain information for selected tune. * Improved file information dialog. * XMMS v1.2.5 introduced the "generic title format" that can be used to have same format titles for those plugins that support it. XMMS-SID is now one of them. There is also an overriding option, that enables you to have SID-specific titles. See the configuration dialog for more information. * New sub-song control methods as selectable options. Does not require patching of XMMS anymore, so they are easier to use. The XMMS patch used by older versions is supported as well, though. * Throw in a handful of bugfixes (and possibly new bugs), stir powerfully. Finally, sprinkle some minor improvements on the top and voéla! Version 0.7 =========== * Much improved file information dialog. Now shows all relevant info neatly and orderly. Parses STIL information and shows it on fileinfo if enabled. * Updated the xmms song-position patch which makes possible to use the position slider to change sub-tune SID and also pattern position in MikMod plugin. Now patches and works correctly with recent XMMS versions. * STIL-database file-selector in config dialog. * Additional improvements from Willem to the song-pos patch! * And the standard load of bugfixes and minor improvements. Version 0.6 =========== Improved configuration: * Filters are now configurable, you can adjust all three parameters of libsidplay: FS, FM and FT. See "Filter" panel of configuration dialog. * STIL database path can be set and STIL usage can be enabled and disabled from configuration dialog's "STIL" panel. * Songname / info is now configurable like in the mpg123 plugin, with %1..%n, see the "STIL" panel of configuration dialog. Version 0.5 =========== This version is a "new branch" based on the original xmms-sid v0.4 by Willem Monsuwe. This development branch is maintained by Matti "ccr" Hamalainen of TNSP. Please consider that when thinking where to send bug reports. - Few minor bugfixes. - STIL support works now better (quite beta still, though) - Cleaned up sources somewhat. - Added a about dialog. - Re-organized the source structure. - Improved detection of the XMMS paths and stuff in configure. Version 0.4 =========== - First release, so nothing new.
