6. Changes.
Version 0.3.0, released 20 Jul 1997
- Decided to use mpg123 instead of maplay for the decoder. This makes the player half as CPU demanding and also adds downsampling and downmixing options. In addition to this mpg123 also supports MPEG2 and MPEG2.5 (partially) which the maplay decoder doesn't. This also means that the player is now called kmpg instead of kmaplay
- Total redesign of interface, the interface is now smaller than before but still presents a lot more information.
- Changes to the preference dialog to allow the user to fiddle with all the options of mpg123. All changes can be applied while playing a stream.
- Decided to use three levels in the version numbers. 0.3.0 instead of just 0.3
- Introduced a lot of bugs when integrating mpg123 with the interface :-)
- Restructured the documentation into a handbook format.
- Enhanced the playlist editor. Can now save/load/edit playlists.
Verison 0.2
- Total rewrite of soundcard routines, now uses two processes with a shared memory segment. The buffer is fixed at 176400 bytes (1 sec at 44.1Khz 16 bit, stereo). This means the player is less sensitive to cpu load. The code is still pretty messy, will clean it up in the next release.
- Fixed a nasty bug which caused segfaults in KMaplay::KMaplay.
- Added a preferences dialog.
- Added a stream information dialog.
- Introduced a lot of bugs :-)
- Scrapped the toolbar and use a menubar instead.
- KMaplay is now almost 100% KDE compliant
Version 0.1
- First release
- Initial version of playlist editor
- Fixed memory leaks in player.
