Snd 7.18
snd_pd_external.c, help-snd-fm.pd, and pd-fm.scm and other changes for Pd, thanks to Kjetil.
Many more improvements thanks to Mike.
default sample type is now float. This should only affect the "peak-env" files which will
need to be rebuilt (just delete the current peak files, and they'll be rebuilt as needed
automatically).
analog-filter.scm: Butterworth, Chebyshev, inverse-Chebyshev, Bessel(-Thompson), Elliptic filters.
(These functions are based on code of Anders Johansson)
new fft windows: samaraki and ultraspherical (related to the dolph-chebyshev window)
ultraspherical window has an additional parameter (side lobe shape) named
fft-window-alpha here (to parallel fft-window-beta).
new sound effects:
sinc-train (clm.html)
reverse-by-blocks and reverse-within-blocks (examp.scm)
pulse-voice (examp.scm)
moved make-iir-low|high-pass-1 to snd7.scm (from dsp.scm)
removed the various sorting indices (sort-by-name|size|date|entry), and changed
the way the user-defined sorter works. (snd7.scm defines the old names).
Also removed (unimplemented, but documented) file-sorters list, and the
now useless just-sounds-hook. added sound-file? for easier file-filter definition.
in both Motif and Gtk, the file selection dialogs have been changed -- there are
fewer visible widgets, but popup menus are scattered around to handle uncommon
chores (sorting, filtering, etc). libgamin is connected to the file list as
elsewhere. Right-click in the file list brings up a menu of sorting/filtering
choices; in the directory list it brings up a menu that splits out the parent
directories (single-click in the directory list moves to that directory);
in the file and filter entry widgets it brings up a list of previous choices.
If you type in the file entry widget, the file list tries to move to the apparent choice.
The "preview area" is as before -- a description of the selected sound file,
with "play" and "just-sounds" buttons.
In the xm module, XmNpopupEnabled is now an enum (it was boolean -- I was following
the incorrect info in the Motif docs -- use XmPOPUP_AUTOMATIC rather than #t).
the happy buttons have hunkered down for the winter.

Snd 7.17
Mike made many improvements in the ruby support
Kjetil added a -volume argument to sndplay
all dlp directory files moved to main directory (to simplify load-path handling)
added: *clm-notehook* and *definstrument-hook* added to Guile version of with-sound (thanks to Rick)
the rest of the preferences dialog
mus-header-raw-defaults
sync-max
SND_PATH environment variable (optional load path directory list)
if --with-float-samples and --with-doubles, the internal sample data type is double.
(this also affects CLM)
moved snd-apropos to snd7.scm.
clm: fixed various instruments that were using mus-location with src:
backandforth.ins, scratch in ug1.ins, granular.ins, various test ins.
added optional srate envelope arg to fullmix.
Rick added clm.asd.
Fernando updated dlocsig and friends.
*clm-tempfile-data-format* and *clm-tempfile-header-type*.
cmn: *dynamics-minimum-vertical-separation* added by Anders.
Anders also added support for dy0 and dy1 messages in wedge.lisp.
Rick added cmn.asd.
*dot-vertical-spacing*
checked: ACL 8.0, openmcl 1.0, cmucl 19c, clisp 2.35 (cmn), gtk 2.8.7

7.16:
tarball with NEWS file not found
About 7 years of development. Includes among others:
support for flac, speex, ogg/vorbis; a choice of frontends between
motif and gtk; esound support; guile scripting support; and native
NetBSD audio code.
Some possible future work on this package:
Add options for fftw2 fftw3 ladspa gamin/fam mpg123 timidity ruby
to ${X11BASE} in the header and library search paths into references to
${LOCALBASE}/share/x11-links. These packages should now be strongly-
buildlinked regardless of whether xpkgwedge is installed.
Changes well-tested on NetBSD-1.5X/i386 with and without xpkgwedge and
lightly-tested on NetBSD-1.5.1/alpha without xpkgwedge.
