developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.

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.

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.

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:

Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
redefines about which buildlink.mk files would care is BUILDLINK_X11_DIR,
which points to the location of the X11R6 hierarchy used during building.
If x11.buildlink.mk isn't included, then BUILDLINK_X11_DIR defaults to
${X11BASE} (set in bsd.pkg.mk), so its value is always safe to use. Remove
the ifdefs surrounding the use of BUILDLINK_X11_DIR in tk/buildlink.mk and
revert changes to move x11.buildlink.mk before the other buildlink.mk files.
use X11_BUILDLINK_MK as a test value. Generally just reordering the
inclusions so that x11.buildlink.mk comes before the other buildlink.mk
files will make everthing work.
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.
- New, optional Makefile variable HOMEPAGE, specifies a URL for
the home page of the software if it has one.
- The value of HOMEPAGE is used to add a link from the
README.html files.
- pkglint updated to know about it. The "correct" location for
HOMEPAGE in the Makefile is after MAINTAINER, in that same
section.
Get rid of HAVE_MOTIF, MOTIF_STATIC, REQUIRES_MOTIF and MOTIF_ONLY.
Standardise on USE_MOTIF, which uses the pkgsrc dependency checks to
use Motif, if it's available, or Lesstif, if not.
Implement a new DEPENDS definition, which looks for an installed
package, building it if not present, and use it in preference to
LIB_DEPENDS. This should make the package collection more useful on
NetBSD ELF ports.
