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
===========
* Theme-song (SID-tune!) from Brite-Lite/Dekadence!
  Thanks for great work! Listen to his other tunes
  in HVSC, VARIOUS/A-F/Brite-Lite/ and visit the
  Dekadence web-experience: http://www.dekadence64.org/

* Support for libSIDPlay 2.x! If you have 1.x too,
  you can select which one to use in the configuration
  dialog.

* Song-length support! Several methods supported:

  - Maximum playtime setting. If set ON, song will be
    played for given time. This can be used as a
    fall-back method if a detection is selected, but
    it fails.

  1) No song-length detection. XMMS-SID plays the song
     forever, OR if max-playtime is set, for that time.

  2) Pseudo-heuristic silence detector.
     Allows the user to define a "silent time limit"
     with amplitude percentage. When the average output
     volume has stayed on specified percentage for
     specified time, next song is started.

  3) HVSC song-length database support. XMMS-SID now
     supports the XSIDPLAY's song-length database for
     tunes contained in HVSC collection. This is
     probably the best option, but requires downloading
     of a small package (few hundred kB's), that contains
     the database. Read "README" for more info.


* Improved file information dialog:

  - Coloring in "comment"-field, if multiple entries
    are present there.

  - Sub-song "name" or "title" is shown (if any) in the
    sub-song selector. If "name" is found for the song,
    it is shown, if not, then "title" is checked for
    and shown if found.


* 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 SIDAmp-style sub-song selector window. Does not
  require patching of XMMS, so this is easier to use.
  The patch is not used by XMMS-SID, but included for
  those who want the additional functionality it provides
  for other plugins.


* 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.
