Happy new year everyone! - Fixed a bug concerning speed 1 and pattern delay. Thanks Shayera! - The replay didn't work with modules consisting of only 8-bit delta samples... This one appeared after last changes and insufficient beta testing struck back... anyway, fixed. - Fixed still another Protracker sample offset compatibility problem, thanks Yolk! 610.1 / 23.12.94 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ + Sample packing selector now has sample number and name information. The first number is P61 sample number and second is Protracker sample number. + You can now use both 4 and 8-bit deltas in one module. This was in theory possible already sometime ago, but had some unknown bugs, so i had to disable it. If both options are set, those samples that aren't 4-bit delta'ed are 8-bit delta'ed, simply. + New P61_SetPosition routine for jumping in the song. + Some new info variables, namely: - P61_Position (P61_Pos): Current song position - P61_Pattern (P61_Patt): Current pattern - P61_Row (P61_CRow): Current row in pattern Name in parenthesis is the actual label and the other is the name in the include file. * Fading option set on by default in the source. * Some range checks (in pattern jump etc.) added. 610.0 / 17.12.94 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ - Fixed a couple of bugs pointed out by Parallax members (Hi all! In this case especially Yolk ;) and the NET community (why don't you mail me for those bugs? It might help fixing them...) These were namely: - Sample offset had some bugs I thought I already fixed some time ago. - Set tempo might have set too fast speed in some rare conditions. - In system killer CIA-mode the timers might not have worked correctly (although I haven't noticed any bugs... thanks anyway Dr.Jekyll!) 610.0 / 29.10.94 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ * Sample packing selector now turns the filter off. Thanks Shayera! - Interrupt handling fixed to be more stable on 040-machines. * Little changes I can't remember. - Some fixes I can't remember either. ! As you can see from the update rate, I'm pretty busy at the moment due to my approaching graduation exams. So please be patient with your e-mails and letters, I try to answer them as soon as possible even if it means several weeks (or months...). Thank you. 610.0 / 07.07.94 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ * Vibrato table is now only 512 bytes long. * CIAA-support dropped because it was too inaccurate due to level 2 interrupt. Was used only under system and in nearly emergency situation. Under KS2.0 it should be used by system anyway, so there was no real loss here. 610.0 / 06.07.94 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ ! P61A-packing (finally) implemented! The format is (as always) totally incompatible with older versions. 600.3 / 07.05.94 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ (Long time, no see!) + Module's filenote now contains info about original length of the module, the usecode and the sample buffer length needed! + Converter now converts command 8 to command E8. Only the lower nybble of the info is used, naturally. Thank John 'Shayera' Hinge for these! - Fixed a bug in XPK-loader. Thans K-P! 600.3 / 17.03.94 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ + System friendly non-cia version implemented. Just use CIA = 0 and system = 1. Thanks for this go to S๘ren Hannibal! (You were right, not a single line of new code, just some conditional compiling...) (* Some new packers included in the comparision in the docs. Check it out..) 600.3 / 16.03.94 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ + Adapted some great improvements from Eksec / Infect (THANKS!): - You can now pass the VBR to the P60_Init (Use P60_VBR label or Player+P60_UseVBR) - CIA-Timing (in system killer mode) changed to use both CIA-B A and B timers. Now the tempos are _really_ accurate. System friendly version still uses only one timer. At least now. * Player6.i changed once again (* Documents reformated to use 75 columns instead of 80) 600.2 / 14.02.94 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ - Fixed a bug with sample offset. Also changes in Player6.i. Thanks Thies! * Some minor rewrite in documents ! PS3M is released! ! btw, my birthday is 17.2. (I'll be 18!!!), so all kinds of presents are welcome! 600.2 / 22.01.94 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ * Some minor optimizations. ! "Soon" to be released: PS3M (Play S3M) for playing those wonderful S3M-modules on your favorite machine! Most of the code is ready, "only" looser-interface is missing... 600.2 / 13.01.94 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ + Added support for timing using unused E8-command. Label P60_E8 contains the last info nybble played, so you can use it to synchronize your routines and other events to the music. Command 8 could not be used, 'cause it is used for arpeggios... Thanks Shayera! 600.2 / 11.01.94 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ * P60A-to-MOD-converter now also supports modules with 4-bit samples. 600.2 / 10.01.94 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ * 4-bit-delta-system rewritten for adding support for 5-7 bit deltas in the (near?) future. The sound quality improved as a side effect, but the packing also slowed down. Everything has its costs, but I think this is worth it anyway... You really should try it. 600.2 / 02.01.94 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ + XPK-support added. All references to Powerpacked files or FImped files also apply to XPK-files. Notice the new version number at last... 600.1 / 01.01.94 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ * To celebrate the new year, Devpac-versions updated to P60 and some optimizations made with the replay. * Some changes in Player6.i due to those DevPacs 600.1 / 18.12.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ - Some fixes with P60-2-mod-converter. Ok, Simply? 600.1 / 07.12.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ - Fixed a bug when trying to use both normal and 4-bit delta format. Thanx Commander Z! 600.1 / 06.12.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ * To honor Finland's 76th birthday, some fixes with file- requesters. 600.1 / 13.11.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ - Some error handling bugs in P60 fixed. Thanx once again, Simply! + Some new error messages, mostly between P60 and P60con. Also communication between those two is now much better. * The clock in P60 is now updated when the window is inactive. Also pause works fine now. Sorry for the flicking titlebar under KS1.3, but that's not my fault... Is it ok now, Simply? 600.1 / 12.11.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ * Reduced memory consumption on chip-only machines - Finally fixed The Freezing Bug! * If no samples are packed, even if the option is on, packing info is no more included. 600.1 / 09.11.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ - Fixed a bug in sample packing-selector. Sample offsets were calculated from P60-module, but samples were still as in PT- module. 600.1 / 29.10.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ * Some changes with sample offset (command 9) to make it totally Protracker-compatible. Has anyone noticed how illogical Protracker can be? 600.1 / 25.10.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ - MAJOR! bug fixed with total systemkillers. The bug occured only when options were system=0, CIA=0, Exec=0 and ExecBase was destroyed. The cause was a "tiny" possibility that a lev6-irq might occur between P60_Init and P60_Music and this hanged the system, because the irq was done through system lev6-handler... So this was The Bug, Sami Karjalainen and Fraction. Million thanks to you both and even more apologies for all the trouble this has caused you... 600.1 / 21.10.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ + Exec-option implemented. Use if you have destroyed your ExecBase! + Implemented some listing for the options used. 600.1 / 20.10.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ - Fixed bugs with "two files"-option. Thanx Sami! 600.1 / 15.10.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ - Fixed a bug in memory management of P60. 600.1 / 06.10.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ - Found and fixed a bug in UseCode-system. Tsunami: This was it! Should work correctly now. 600.1 / 02.10.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ + Added clock to P60. 600.1 / 21.09.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ - Bug with SizeWindow fixed by making checkings to the screen limits. No more crashes under faster! - Bug with multiple pattern breaks fixed. + FImp-support implemented. All files can be FImped as well as Powerpacked, except the config file :) 505.0 / 20.07.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ - Bug in delta-decoder fixed, decoded one word too much. - Bug with pattern breaks in the last row fixed. * Preferences format standardized, check your tempo-settings! 505.0 / 08.07.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ ! After complete HD-disaster, back on the track! - Minor bugs corrected here and there. + After calling P50_End, filter is returned to its original state instead of just turning it on. 505.0 / 22.06.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ + Delta-format samples implemented. Fully compatible fileformat, but pre-versions can't play these delta-modules :) 505.0 / 19.06.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ * Major rewrite in packing system. Parts 2 and 3 merged into one faster routine. + Mainmenu and prefswindow now open centered to any sized Workbench screen and take note of the titlebar font. - Bug in useless-patterns-remover fixed. 504.0 / 14.06.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ + P50, the Player and support for it implemented. * Mainmenu and prefswindow now opens where it was left. - Bug in about engine fixed (thanx Murk!). 503.1 / 10.06.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ - Bug with CurrentDir fixed. 503.1 / 26.05.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ - Multiple bugs with `P50A`-Sign fixed (thanx Slender!) - Bug with an used empty sample between other samples fixed. 503.1 / 20.05.93 ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ ! Official prerelease! Known bugs: ญญญญญญญญญญญ - None. (At the moment...)
