Changes:
- SIGINT plays next song; two in succession exits program
- fixed 8 bit wav support
- added 8 bit libao support on macintosh
- include filename in stdout during playback
Changes:
* Layout of the main window can be changed using Layout[123] options.
Switching between layouts is done using the 'l' key and now TAB is
used to switch between the playlist and the directory menu. For
example, you can configure the layout to see both the playlist and a
directory content.
* Support for WMA, RealAudio, MP4 and AAC file using FFmpeg.

config file).
* Executing external commands, like 'cp %f /mnt/usb_drive' where %f is
substituted with the path to the currently selected file.
* Tags are cached at the server side and read in a separate thread.
The interface is not locked until the tags are read. Size of the
cache can be adjusted using TagsCacheSize. The cache is saved at exit
and loaded at startup.
* Moving items up and down: u and j commands.
* Workaround for encoding of ID3v1 tags. New options: UseRCC - to use
librcc for ID3v1 reencoding (Initial patch by Alexey Gladkov),
ID3v1TagsEncoding - assumed encoding for ID3v1 tags.

the selected file. This is useful with braille displays.

PlaylistNumbering.

darkdot_theme (David Lazar).
* Added a command for adding a URL to the playlist using entry (CTRL-u).

playlist is played (CanStartInPlaylist option).
* Commands: --append, --clear, --play work now as expected even if there
is no client running.
* Use full paths instead of just file names for displaying on the
playlist.
* Internet streams can be paused.
* Ogg plugin name was changed to vorbis.

* Allow readin/write of instrument chunks from WAV and AIFF files.
* Compile problem fix for Solaris compiler.
* Minor cleanups and bug fixes.
"extract" script for extraction. Many cases where a custom EXTRACT_CMD
simply copied the distfile into the work directory are no longer
needed. The extract script also hides differences between pax and
tar behind a common command-line interface, so we no longer need code
that's conditional on whether EXTRACT_USING is tar or pax.

This package is part of the 'good' plugins for GStreamer. It provides the
oss plugin, which allows playback and recording of sound through the Open
Sound System audio libraries.
gst-plugins0.8 and gst-plugins0.8-* respectively. This is to leave room
for gstreamer 0.10 (which will be added with versioned names too, to avoid
annoying renames in the future).
While here, do some changes:
- Make gstreamer0.8 use the alternatives system to provide the unversioned
gst-* utilities.
- Rename all internal variables to have 0.8 in them to make it clear which
package they belong to.
* A serious problem with the French translation was corrected.
Changes 1.2.4:
* The File menu now includes a list of recent files.
* The "Generate Silence" effect now prompts for a length.
* Audacity is now built with Vorbis 1.1, which features better encoding quality
and file compression.
* Dragging sound files into the Audacity window now works on Mac OS X and Linux,
as well as Windows. (Before, it worked only on Windows.)
* Better support for certain audio devices on Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger"
* The "View History" window can now discard old undo levels to save disk space
on Windows. (This previously worked only on Linux and Mac.)
* "Preferences" command is now in Edit menu.
* "Plot Spectrum" command is now in Analyze menu.
* Opening a project file saved by a later version of Audacity displays an
intelligent error message. Also, trying to import a project file (instead of
open it) displays an intelligent error message.
* Audacity now compiles in Visual C++ .NET 2003.
* Other minor bug fixes.
* New or updated translations: Arabic (ar), Czech (cs), Finnish (fi), Hungarian
(hu), Japanese (ja), Norwegian (nb), Slovenian (sl), Simplified Chinese

Flite (festival-lite) is a small, fast run-time synthesis engine developed
at CMU and primarily designed for small embedded machines and/or large
servers. Flite is designed as an alternative synthesis engine to Festival
for voices built using the FestVox suite of voice building tools.
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.

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.

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
CONF_FILES to copy it into ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}, instead of letting
the package install it directly there. Bump PKGREVISION. This
should fix the CHECK_FILES error found in Krister's bulk build.
