Changes:
* Added 128kB sample support again. This can be turned on by adjusting
the 64K_LIMIT setting in (the new) protracker.ini to FALSE. Please
read the 64K_LIMIT comment in protracker.ini first before doing this.
* Fixed a bug where it wasn't always possible to mark the last sample
point in the sample editor
* Some other minor code changes
v1.37 - 28.10.2021
- Fixed potential thread issues between user input thread and audio thread, like
when jamming a sample, toggling tuning tone, playing sample in the sample
editor, adjusting sample loop, etc.
v1.36 - 10.10.2021 (23:12 GMT+2)
- Fixed clicking issues in v1.35 during sample looping. Sorry!
- Fixed an issue where the quadrascope was not updated properly when a F00
command was triggered before the last channel.
v1.35 - 10.10.2021
- Implemented a config entry in protracker.ini for disabling the 2x downsample
dialog that shows up when attempting to load >22kHz samples.
(NO_DWNSMP_ON_SMP_LOAD)
- Don't attempt to center window after leaving fullscreen mode. This could lead
to issues on multi-monitor setups.
- Further accuracy changes to the Paula emulator. Read two samples at once into
the AUDxDAT buffer. This is a minor change, but it can have a very small
impact on sample-changing commands (EFx/E8x).
All checksums have been double-checked against existing RMD160 and
SHA512 hashes.
The following distfiles couldn't be fetched (possibly they are fetched
conditionally):

v1.34 - 16.09.2021
- Bugfix: Pattern delay (EEx) did nothing on muted channels
- Bugfix: Less clicks/pops during E0x command (Set LED Filter)
- Added the missing Karplus-Strong command (E8x). Since this effect was
sometimes replaced with visuals-syncing in demo music, it can be turned off by
setting DISABE_E8X to TRUE in protracker.ini.
- Fix: Only do 2x oversampling if the audio output rate is below 96kHz. It
would otherwise be a waste of CPU time (diminishing returns).
- Paula emulation is now slightly more accurate to a real Amiga (verified):
1) Period/volume changes are now only updated when it's time to read
a new sample point (period refetch). It was recently discovered that
volume is also fetched (and cached) in the period refetch stage.
2) During sample point fetching, the new sample point is now cached until it's
time to read the next sample point. This can sometimes make a very small
difference for sampledata-changing ProTracker effects (E8x / EFx).
- Removed BLEP'ing of volume changes, as it was no longer needed with the new
way of doing volume changing, and it saves up some CPU time.
v1.33 - 04.09.2021
- The tracker now uses 2x oversampling and decimation for mixing and filtering,
for (theoretically) less aliasing.
- Added Amiga 1200 low-pass filter (~34.4kHz, when not in A500 mode). This
makes sense now, since we have twice the render/filter frequency than before.
- PAT2SMP now renders in higher quality thanks to the new high quality 2x
decimator routine. Especially noticable in LO mode on high-frequency content.
- The "2x downsample" option while loading samples results in slightly less
aliasing than before because of the new high quality 2x decimator.
- The MOD2WAV audio rate is now the same as the tracker's audio rate
- Stereo separation now works like it should. The volume is a bit louder than
before if you increase the separation, but that's expected.
- Removed the hand-made cutoff tweak on the Amiga 500 low-pass filter. It now
uses the correct nominal cutoff frequency. The RC filter routines have been
replaced with new ones, and with these I didn't have to tweak the cutoff to
make it sound similar to an A500 (probably related to filter prewarping?).
v1.32 - 12.08.2021
- Bugfix: If you had accidentally clicked somewhere on the sample data before
using the "ramp volume" tool, it wouldn't work as expected.
- Bugfix: The BPM was a tiny fraction off because of an off-by-one error in
the Amiga CIA period -> Hz calculation. The error was about ~0.02%, so it
would only be measurable when comparing several minutes of recorded audio.
v1.31 - 19.06.2021
- The Disk Op. file sorting routine is now simplified and more ProTracker like
(names are converted to uppercase before sorting). This affects the sorting.
- Bugfix: Don't allow mouse wheel scrolling while the volume/filter toolbox
is open (sample editor).
v1.30 - 29.04.2021
- Bugfix: MOD2WAV would in some cases not render the correct amount of data
- Fixed an old PT bug where the pattern editor could sometimes show the next
pattern's data one tick too early at the end of the pattern.
- Some small code refactoring
v1.29 - 14.03.2021
- Bugfix: Characters A..F were not accepted in the "Mix" text box in Edit Op. #3
- Screensaver is no longer disabled when the program is running
I moved from macOS to Fedora, and everything using OpenGL or audio in pkgsrc is
broken on Fedora (incompatible, much older Mesa in pkgsrc, PulseAudio from
pkgsrc not supporting PipeWire, etc.) so I can no longer update and test this
package. This package unfortunately ticks both, OpenGL and audio.
ProTracker 2 clone for Windows/macOS/Linux
Aims to be a highly accurate clone of the classic ProTracker 2.3D software for
Amiga. Has additional audio filters and audio mixer improvements to make it
sound close to a real Amiga computer.
