------------------- - version history - ------------------- * v2.2a, 20-feb-1993 Stop-command changed: in Protracker mode, a zero speed command stops the player at the current location - restart it with 'PLAY', while in non-protracker mode it is simply ignored. Internals adapted to the lower F030 sampling freq's (KHz) in STE DMA mode: ST STE TT F030 Hi: 6.1 12.5 12.6 12.3 Med: 9.6 25 25.1 24.6 Low: 12.2 50 50.3 49.2 This change was necessary because the sampling frequency difference between a TT and a F030 is such that it gives 35 cent pitch change (awful for musicians!!). * v2.2, 1-feb-1993 Correct CIA-timing implemented. Paula is now the only player which is really compatible to every MOD-format - including the very old Soundtracker 1.2 format introduced 1986 by K. Obarski. New hardware register access code - should now work on the FALCON if it is in 'STE-Compatibility-mode'. Old 15-instrument modules are always considered as non-protracker compliant. Finetune routines will also work with non-standard period values to be more compatible to some PC mod editors. * v2.1c, 11-jan-1993 Bugfix in the PT2.1 replay routine - one asm opcode changed. * v2.1b, 1-jan-1993 Improved chip emulator (resampling routines): very short, looped samples are now played much more precise at low sampling rates. When loading a file with the main window opened, a busybee is displayed. Bugfix: the 'Note Delay' Command was erroneous. Any player based on the 'PT-Replay 1.1B'-Routine will experience this bug. The play routine has also been updated to >>> PROTRACKER 2.1A <<<. * v2.1a, 30-oct-1992 Bugfixes: 1. the lz5 depack routine had some problems with MultiTOS' memory protection... 2. if one MOD was corrupted the following MOD was always assumed to be a packed one -> crash. But only on registered copies. Bad, very BAD... 3. samples longer than 64 Kbyte were problematic * v2.1, 18-oct-1992 Added AFX/Lz5 packed module support. Packed MODs are only useable with registered PAULA releases. Hint: instead of having AFX.PRG depacking your MODs, let Paula do this job. It's faster! * v2.0d Bugfix: a single MOD was always repeated in earlier versions. * v2.0c ?bugfix, dunno what. * v2.0b, 27-aug-1992 Bug related to LetEmFly fixed. (bug report: M. Schmitz) * v2.0a, 23-aug-1992 The length of the 'key'-field had to be changed to 16 chars. * v2.0, 20-aug-1992 From now on, Paula is Shareware. Further releases will include new features which will only be operational if you got a registered copy. Most parts have been rewritten from scratch in C. A new sequencer, the PROTRACKER PLAYER v1.1b has been built in - that guarantees maximum 'Amiga'-compatibility. The Amiga Soundchip emulator has been enhanced; interpolation is now as fast as it can be on 68030's. * v1.0 through v1.9 Well, these versions are still freeware... --------------------------------------------------------------------
