mods. (shd/mld)
2007-04-09 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
* UADE 2.06 (7 YEARS BIRTHDAY PARTY AT PAULAS!)
- UADE project is now exactly 7 years old \o/ PARTY!
- Started working for Audacious 1.3 support, at least songs that
are added directly through playlist should work if they are
regular files. Audacious VFS is not supported in general. Nothing
else is guaranteed. Audacious < 1.3 works as in the past.
- Infogrames replayer improved, gobliins 2 et al. play with correct
tempo
- Added new Quartet ST player from Don Adan / Wanted Team
(qts.* files)
- KRIS aka Chip Tracker replayer (KRIS.* files) from Don Adan /
Wanted team. This replaces PTK-Prowiz for Chip Tracker songs, so
not a new format.
- Quartet PSG replayer (SQT.* files) from Don Adan / Wanted Team
- Many small changes, cleanups etc
- Fixed user installation of Audacious 1.3 plugin...
2007-03-19 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Merged Christian Birchingers Audacious 1.3.x API Patches in.
2007-03-03 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- KRIS aka Chip Tracker replayer (KRIS.* files) from Don Adan /
Wanted team. This replaces PTK-Prowiz for Chip Tracker songs, so
not a new format.
- Quartet PSG replayer (SQT.* files) from Don Adan / Wanted Team
2007-02-13 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Updated Inforgrames player to use tempo 0x24ff for Ween songs.
Thanks to DrMcCoy of SCUMM VM project.
- Reverted Michael's 2007-02-13 patch regarding LC_Numeric and
strtod(). Fixed the problem manually by converting x,y values into
x.y format and vice versa.
2007-02-13 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Fix for German LC_Numeric="," parameters in uadeconfig.c.
Thanks for Steffen Wulf for reporting.
- Bumped Version to 2.05. :-)
2007-02-08 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Added new Quartet ST player from Don Adan / Wanted Team
(qts.* files). Great work as ever Don!
- Disabled Hippel COSO check in amifilemagic.c to avoid a conflict
between Amiga and Atari ST Coso Files.
TODO: The file heuristics for Coso in amifilemagic.c has to be fixed,
the checkroutine of the Amiga Hippel-Coso replayer isn't HIP-ST Coso
aware either.
2007-02-06 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Small correction of shd's patch in PTK-Prowiz commited.
2007-02-05 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Applied shd's uade_new_get_info patch to PTK-Prowiz.
2007-02-04 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Added sanity check to query eagleopts in PTK-Prowiz (needed for
score fix)
- Added a new uade.library method: UadeNewGetInfo(). It is now used
with Infogrames replayer (see
amigasrc/players/infogrames/Infogrames.asm). It will be used with
PTK-Prowiz soon. Documentation for UadeNewGetInfo() can be read
from amigasrc/score/score.s, see function "uade_new_get_info".
2007-02-03 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Disassembled Andy Silvas Infogrames replayer, added a work-around
list for Gobliins 2 songs to fix tempo. Thanks to Sven Hesse of
ScummVM project for letting us know of the tempo problem.
The next thing to do is go through all Infogrames games with UAE
and record the tempo value for each song? Any volunteers?-)
2007-01-30 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Changed Scrollbar policy for audacious modinfo to avoid
ugly line breaking in hexmode
2007-01-25 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
* UADE 2.05 (It came from the Paula)
- This release workarounds scheduler features of some 2.6.x Linux
kernels. IPC method was changed to use sockets instead of pipes,
which significantly reduces buffer underruns. This is really the
only change affecting scheduling! Weird.
2007-01-24 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed compilation for platforms that lack memmem(), such as Mac.
The compilation bug was introduced at 2007-01-21 when unixipc
and unixsupport were merged.
2007-01-22 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Fixed songinfo for mods detected as Protracker compatible
2007-01-21 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Merge unixipc.c and unixsupport.c. Modularise uadecore spawn into
unixsupport.c.
- Move from pipe based IPC communication to UNIX socket based
communication. This solves a scheduling problem for some 2.6.x Linux
kernels.
2007-01-21 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
* UADE 2.04 (Defective by Design .org)
- Added Jochen Hippel ST player (hst.* files)
- Added Quartet player from Don Adan / Wanted Team (qpa.* files)
- Updated Mark Cookset replayer with a new version from Don Adan of
Wanted Team
- It's now possible to command an eagleplayer listed in
eagleplayer.conf to ignore file type check. This is useful
with the CustomMade replayer as it rejects some valid song files.
See the change log entry from 2007-01-02 and the man page
about song.conf and eagleplayer.conf.
- Cygwin work-around (locking on song contents db is broken). Does
NOT affect unixes.
- Amiga memory size can now be configured properly from ~/.uade2/uaerc.
This is useful with big sound files (rare).
- Fixed the sinc filter, it had a bug that made it less accurate
- Man page updates about filters
- GCC 4.x clean ups
- Small bug fixes. The default uade.conf had a deprecated option
in comments. It was removed.
- Updated installation instructions
2007-01-18 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed a bug in default uade.conf. "headphone" option for the
uade.conf was obsoleted at 2006-05-13, the new option name
became "headphones". The backward compatibility is retained
again and thus "headphone" option will work to some future.
- Fixed several missing cvs sticky bits (-kb) in players/ dir
2007-01-15 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Made "detect_format_by_content" parameter for modfiles default.
This way only true Amiga 4ch mod files now get played.
- Added Quartet player from Don Adan / Wanted Team. It recognizes
QPA.* files.
2007-01-12 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added "ignore_player_check" option for eagleplayer.conf and
song.conf. It is useful with bad eagleplayers and rips. This
feature was requested for use with CustomMade player and therefore
this option will also be made default for that player. See the
new eagleplayer.conf.
2007-01-11 Antti S. Lankila <alankila@bel.fi>
- Correct some ancient mistakes in uade123.1, regarding filter
operation. For instance the LED filter center frequency was
reported halved due to an earlier mistake in graph drawing
2006-12-22 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added Jochen Hippel ST player from Don Adan / Wanted Team. It
recognizes HST.* files
- Replaced old Mark Cooksey replayer with a new version from
Don Adan / Wanted Team
2006-12-07 Antti S. Lankila <alankila@bel.fi>
- Remove uadecore with make clean
2006-12-03 Antti S. Laknila <alankila@bel.fi>
- Fixed a strict aliasing warning that occured with GCC 4.1 in
newcpu.h
2006-12-01 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Memory size of Amiga can now be increased over 2 MiB by editing
the uaerc file (e.g. ~/.uade2/uaerc). The variable named chipmem_size
should be edited. Allocated memory for the amiga is determined by
chipmem_size * 512 KiB
By default, chipmem_size = 4 -> 2 MiB of memory. This variable can
be set up to 16 (8 MiB of memory).
2006-11-26 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Updated instructions about -x option in uade123 and its man page.
2006-10-28 Antti S. Lankila <alankila@bel.fi>
- Due to me misunderstanding the Kaiser window beta parameter,
the BLEP tables for sinc synthesis were set to attenuate aliasing
only for 40 dB instead of the target 80 dB.
2006-10-24 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- No locking with Cygwin -> uade is dangerous with songdb.
2006-10-02 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Updated INSTALL.readme to include more dependencies (pkg-config
and sed) and tips for Mac OS X compiling (workarounds)
2006-08-27 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
* UADE 2.03 (Microsoft punishment)
- Added song.conf support to set song specific attributes for
playback, such as ntsc, blank, filtering etc. See the man
page. An example, one may add following line to ~/.uade2/song.conf
to make fred.hybris_light always timeout on 200 seconds:
md5=60f3bb11cc1bacaf77d7c16d13361844 broken_song_end timeout=200 comment FRED.Hybris_Light
This need not be added manually, one can just issue:
uade123 --set=broken_song_end --set=timeout=200 FRED.Hybris_Light
and afterwards uade will always play the song correctly.
Similarly, one can fix volume gain for some songs:
uade123 --set=gain=2 foo
To reset all options for a given song, do:
uade123 --set= foo
- Fixed PAL audio synthesis frequency (inaudible)
- --interpolator=x is now --resampler=x because the function of
interpolators was actually resampling.
- Only A500 and A1200 filters are now supported and A500 is the
default.
- Added Play time database support for uade123
- Compatibility fixes
- Lots of bug fixes
- Improvements in uade123 UI (press i or I for info on song)
- Improved file magic support for some formats (P61A, Fuzzac, ...)
- Hacky NTSC mode support available now. Use --ntsc or ntsc
directive in uade123. Also works per-song with song.conf.
One can now make specific songs be played in NTSC mode by
programming song.conf with proper values. One can issue:
uade123 --set=ntsc dw.FooBar
or put a line to ~/.uade2/song.conf:
md5=225bbb405433c7c05fe10b99b8e088ff ntsc comment dw.AlfredChicken
- One can force protracker replayer to use VBlank timing with many
ways, see the man page on section EAGLEPLAYER OPTIONS. For example,
do:
uade123 -x vblank mod.FooBar
- Enhancements in PTK-Prowiz. Protracker version is now selectable
between 3.0b, 2.3a and 1.0c. See the man page section EAGLEPLAYERS
OPTIONS. This option is not yet guaranteed to be 100% but may
fix some immediate problems with some songs.. These settings
may also be recorded to song.conf so that one only has to give
these parameters once. Example:
uade123 -x type:pt10c mod.TheClassicProtrackerVersionedSong
btw. uade is probably the first mod player for non-amigas that
has a direct version support for protrackers.
- Improved some players
- Titles in audacious and xmms plugins on the playlist are now
programmable with uade.conf. The default is
song_title %F %X [%P]
This displays filename, subsong (if more than one) and player.
See SONG TITLE SPECIFICATION section in the man page. There's a
small help in the uade.conf too.
- Significant code refactorizations
- Fixed a memory leak issue (see Change log on 2006-04-15)
- Added Dirk Bialluch format support by Don Adan/Wanted Team
2006-07-27 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Removed -fno-strength-reduce from src/Makefile.in. Some old
GCC 2.x versions had bugged strength reduce, but it shouldn't
matter anymore. Maybe the compiler will produce better code
without this. AHX.cruisin showed approx 3% speedup :) Thanks
to alankila for pointing out use of this flag.
2006-07-17 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed a segfault bug in songdb caused by recent changes to add
subsong volume normalisation info to contentdb. Segfaults were
catched in several places due to uninitialized vplist in
struct uade_content.
2006-07-02 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Merged an initial version of volume normalization effect from
alankila.
- Split song.conf and contentdb related functionality away from
eagleplayer.c to songdb.c.
2006-06-30 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Work-arounded signedness warnings with GCC4 in src/frontends/common/
2006-06-23 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fix sinc resampler to support --filter=none (alankila)
- Optimize sinc_handler() inner-loop by avoiding unnecessary
indexing (alankila)
2006-06-22 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Separated accumulator and sinc resamplers into separate functions
in src/audio.c.
- Removed "anti" name from resampler list. "anti" has been the
"default" for a long time already.
- Change FIR convolution of sinc into bandlimited step synthesis.
Filters are applied directly by the BLEPs. Warning, sinc and
filtering are now integrated together so they can not be
changed separately (breaking modular development idea). The
default resampler does not suffer from this modularity problem
and it is still the recommended resampler. (alankila)
2006-06-18 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added play time database saving support into uade123.
2006-05-22 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Changed --magic to --detect-format-by-content and changed
corresponding "content_detection" directive in eagleplayer.conf and
uade.conf to "detect_format_by_content". Changed --no-song-end to
"--no-ep-end-detect".
2006-05-20 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Changed default input file to be /dev/tty instead of stdin for
uade123. Also, failing terminal setup (input file is not a tty)
is not a fatal error.
- Added a warning to eagleplayer.conf parsing for the situation
that user has removed all prefixes from an eagleplayer. It makes
all kind of detection (including content detection) unusable.
If you don't want to detect a particular file type by name
extensions, add "content_detection" option for the line in
eagleplayer.conf. But note that there isn't content detection
for all formats. For example, adding "content_detection" for
Thomas Hermann player will make all Thomas Hermann songs
unplayable because there is no content detection for it.
2006-05-19 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added Gryzors (Nicholas Franck <gryzor@club-internet.fr>)
Protracker converter source code into CVS. See
amigasrc/players/tracker/converter/README.txt for copyright and
licensing information. Thanks to Stuart Caie for leading us
to the distribution terms (we did have the source before :-)
2006-05-18 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added p5x and p6x file extensions for The Player 5.x/6.x to
eagleplayer.conf (Stuart Caie requested it)
- Added "P50A" four letter magic detection to amifilemagic.c
2006-05-17 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Removed deprecated <audacious/configfile.h> from audacious
plugin. Thanks to Joker for the report.
2006-05-16 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Raised length of extension[] in uade_analyze_file from 11 to 16,
which caused the xmms and audacious plugin to segfault on
very long prefixes (such as mod15_st-iv) in eagleplayer.conf.
2006-06-15 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added "-x y" to set eagleplayer options more conveniently. It's
now possible to do: uade123 -x type:pt11b mod.foo. -x can be
used multiple times on the same command line.
2006-05-15 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- PTK-Prowiz now uses the epopt config system. You can set options
such as "vblank" and/or "type:" on a song base with the uade123
"--set=xyz" command line parameter or edit uade.conf or song.conf
manually. For valid protracker types: check the uade123 man page.
Please test. I hope I didn't break anything.
- Changed Protracker and compatible tag in amifilemagic. It seems
it was too long for xmms/audacious and crashed. Odd.
2006-05-13 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Merged man page update from alankila, explaining filter and
resampling features
- Merged headphones 2 effect patch from alankila, making it sample
rate independent
- Added --version to uade123
- Cleaned up frontends with respect to configuration management.
Initial configuration loading is made in uade_load_initial_config()
in all frontends.
- Fixed song.conf locking
- Fixed recursive mode song.conf option setting. Try:
uade123 -r --set=gain=2 songdir
2006-05-12 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Audacious modinfo GTK-2.8's assertion error fixed by "porting"
the legacy gdk_font_load/gtk_text to gtk2's tag, viewport,
buffer system.
- Worked around gtk2's assumption any text has to be clean UTF-8
which obviously will break when displaying binaryhexdumps or
Amiga locale strings.
2006-05-11 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Updated documentation to reflect implementation.
- Added support for eagleplayer/song specific eagleplayer options.
Use epopt=x in eagleplayer.conf and song.conf. Look at the
man page section "EAGLEPLAYER OPTIONS" for valid options.
2006-05-09 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added information about sample rate into effects API.
- Fixed a race condition for Audacious and XMMS plugins.
A shared static buffer was not locked for file magic detection
in eagleplayer.c:analyze_file_format().
- Fixed a bug in eagleplayer.c:analyze_file_format() that might
have caused a partial read for file to be detected.
- Fixed a buffer overrun bug in uade.c:uade_get_amiga_message().
With AMIGAMSG_GET_INFO request, the eagleplayer could
cause a slight overrun of the amiga memory to uade data memory.
The attacker could not however choose the string to be written
over the bounds.
2006-05-07 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Improved filters to work on arbitrary frequency (alankila)
- Removed A500S and A1200S filters. For compatibility, they're now
aliased to A500 and A1200.
- Moved computation of audio emulation parameters away from
init_sound() to audio_set_rate(). init_sound() calls
audio_set_rate().
- It's now possible to use frequency directive in uade.conf to
set playback frequency. But watch out, it can cause bugs
and sound quality degradation.
- Now only two models (FILTER_MODEL_(A500|A1200)) exist in
amigafilter.h.
- Code cleanups
- Renamed interpolator to be resampler in command line options
and configuration files. Use --resampler=x instead of
--interpolator=x.
- Fixed IIR filter not to waste CPU time with denormal numbers.
This idea was presented to us by Antti Huovilainen, thanks.
Try playing BD.Mickey_mouse with an older version and see how
much cpu it takes with A500 filter. The new version is one
quarter CPU time on an AMD64 machine (alankila)
- Optimized event handling in include/events.h by removing
redundant vsynctime check that relied upon processor/OS
specific timers (that we've removed long ago).
2006-05-06 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added two util functions into uadeipc.c. They are uade_send_u32()
and uade_send_two_u32s().
- Started changes towards changeable output frequency. You can
experiment with --freq=x but filter emulation only works for
44,1 kHz at the moment. Note that filter emulation always has an
effect on sound.
2006-05-05 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed --filter=x and --force-led=y to work again.
2006-05-02 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Fixed crash due to uninitialized pointer to subsong scale in seek
window for xmms and auda plugin.
Seems the UI got into a race condition when trying to update the
scale belonging to the seek window and the pointer for the seek
window was there, while the scale wasn't ready. This happend for
very short subsongs only...
- Added NTK/STK detection to modinfo
- Check for Dirk Bialluch songs in amifilemagic.
2006-05-02 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed a small bug that allows resetting song.conf options from
the command line. Use 'uade123 --set= foo' to reset options.
2006-05-01 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Changing to a previous song is now possible in uade123. Try
pressing '<'. -z option now means randomizing the playlist
order before playing, but random play mode (press 's') does
randomizing on the fly. Both alternatives support seeking to
previous song in the same way, but seeking to next song will
always be random in random play mode (not with -z).
- Added --repeat option into uade123 to play playlist over and
over again.
2006-04-30 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- It's now possible to set options into song.conf by using uade123
directly. This is not the final feature, only a step towards
a more usable feature. Try:
# uade123 --set="gain=2" foo
It should add the associated entry into ~/.uade2/song.conf.
Eventually uade123 should be used like:
# uade123 --set --gain=2 foo
2006-04-29 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Changed hexdump of module/player to show 2 KiBs of text.
- Fixed some memory leaks in eagleplayer.c and songinfo.c.
- Removed doc/eagleplayer.conf and doc/song.conf. doc/uade123.1 is
the authorative documentation for all configuration files.
- Many uade song attribute and configuration management changes.
- Added broken song end directive for eagleplayers and songs.
To work-around a defective timeout logics in song.conf you could
add a following line to your song.conf:
md5=60f3bb11cc1bacaf77d7c16d13361844 broken_song_end timeout=200 comment FRED.Hybris_Light
- Marked song end detection of FRED format as defective in
eagleplayer.conf:
Fred prefixes=fred broken_song_end
- Unified eagleplayer.conf and song.conf settings. See uade123
man page for those options.
2006-04-28 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed another config bug introduced by last config refactorization.
Filter type could not be set from config file in uade123. The bug
did not happen on Audacious/XMMS plugins.
- uade123 -v now prints the uade.conf and song.conf files that were
loaded.
2006-04-28 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Fixed bug in Soundtracker 31 instruments check introduced
by fixing the misdetection of a digibooster as protracker mod which
was introduced by easing accepting mods with bad length...
See a pattern there, folks?!?
- Along the way, added a distinction between Soundtracker 2.5/
Noisetracker1.0 and Soundtracker 2.4. ST2.5/NT1.0 obviously shared
the same replay by Kaktus & Mahoney, while ST2.4 was still based on
the old 2.3 replay by Unknown and Mnemotron (using repeat offset in
bytes).
2006-04-27 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Fixed misdetection of a digibooster mod as protracker in
amifilemagic.
- Fortified modplayer checks against amifilemagic's new policy
to accept modfiles with trailing garbage...
2006-04-26 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed panning, gain and recursive mode to work again. The problem
was the new configuration management system. Command line options
were not merged into used options. Also, even if they were merged,
they would happen before effects were set ;) Sorry. Fixed now.
- Improved gain effect. It can now clip samples if an overflow
happens.
- Improved song.conf settings. It now supports all but two
options. See doc/song.conf.
2006-04-21 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Fixed detection bug triptodestroy.mod in PTK-Prowiz. Thanks to
Joker for the report.
The mod uses very large instruments with loops which rolled over
to negative checking instrument sizes in words and when large
enough. Stupid bug. Stupid me. :-)
- Replaced \t with white spaces. This might fix Joker's bug report
about garbled output in modinfo for audacious.
- Fixed audacious crash, when trying to access fileinfo while not
playing a song... Bug was simple we did't have uadesong struct.
get_cur_subsong, get_max_subsong and get_min_ subsong was trying
read from that struct even when idle and uade went up in a blaze...
Now checking towards uadsong struct exists and all is nice
- Fixed the Audacious crash fix. It contained a race condition with
respect to the NULL pointer. Also fixed the XMMS plugin. (shd)
2006-04-19 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Added new replayer for the Dirk Bialluch format by
Don Adan/Wanted Team.
- Amended Startrekker/Audiosculpture detection in amifilemagic again.
2006-04-18 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed a bug in memmem() replacement. If needle length was zero,
it returned NULL, but glibc would return pointer to haystack.
2006-04-15 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Fixed bug in sanity check in pt_karplusstrong effect (e8x) in
mod player. (thanks Heikki)
- Disabled Effect E8x for Protracker 2.3a, 1.1b and 1.0c compatibility
mode in PTK-Prowiz.
E.g. Playing mod.cyberlogik as PTK3.0 will result in timing bugs,
playing it as PTK2.3a will play ok.
- Fixed a very serious memory leak issue. Each played song that was
read into memory was leaked. My chip collection is 230 MiB and
after running
valgrind -zr -t1 --enable-timeouts -f /dev/null /chips
I noticed a huge chunk of mem leaked :( Now it's fixed. (shd)
2006-04-14 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Refactored and changed amifilemagic.c. Changed tracker type magic
values into enums. A warning about differing file size and
calculated file size for protracker modules is given if one of
two conditions happen:
- uade123 is run in verbose mode (-v)
- xmms or audacious plugin starts to play file
- Refactored configuration code
- Fixed a subsong/total timeout bug in xmms and audacious plugins.
Always ends directive was not obeyed.
2006-04-13 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Committed a programmable option for displaying song titles on
playlist. Try setting
song_title %F %X [%P]
to uade.conf.
- Reverted xmms buffer underrun fix that was ported to audacious
plugin. With produce_audio() one does not need to wait for
buffer_free(). (shd)
[Comment: it still locks up here :-\] (mld)
- Added songtitle feature to audacious plugin and uade.conf (mld)
- Added #include <songinfo.h> to audacious plugin and removed some
unused variables.
- Added a work-around against ALSA output plugin into XMMS plugin
which avoids to old subsong change blocking bug. Now sleeping is
hardlimited to 5 secs. If work-around is activated, you will see:
UADE: blocking work-around activated.
on stderr. It seems like snd_pcm_state(pcm) in ALSA output plugin
never comes out of SND_PCM_STATE_RUNNING.
- Set song_title default to %F %X [%P]
- Fixed all xmms and audacious plugin symbols to be non-exportable
symbols. The get_iplugin_info() remains the only exportable
symbol. 'objcopy -G get_iplugin_info foo.so' should do it, right?
2006-04-12 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed configure script to handle uade.pc file correctly in the
situation of '--user'.
- Added a user warning to amifilemagic.c about truncated protracker
modules.
- Reverted Michaels change partially. Audacious and XMMS plugins will
not show song name that is obtained from the module because it
is unreliable. This will be made configurable in the future.
- Fixed a potential bug in XMMS plugin. If maximum free audio buffers
was less than 4088 bytes, uade plugin would refuse to write
anything. This was noticed because XMMS wouldn't recover from
a buffer underrun in ALSA mmap mode. The output plugin would
not increase the amount of free buffers even if time passes.
XMMS 1.2.10 ALSA output plugin (or alsa library) is still buggy.
- Ported shd's xmms buffer underrun fix to audacious (mld)
- Changed user warning about truncated protracker modules in
amifilemagic to produce less false positives. (mld)
2006-04-11 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Fixed my crap indentation in audacious plugin
- Sync'd xmms and audacious playlist display
- Fixed possible changing current subsong > maximal subsong
in audacious plugin.
2006-04-10 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- --no-song-end is now aliased to -n in uade123
- Fixed bug in ArtOfNoise8 replayer end routine. (mld)
- Added Songtitle to ArtOfNoise 4V/8V players (mld)
- Display "Guru Meditation" error in audacious playlist for a song
that crashed uadecore. :-) (mld).
- Fixed bug updating the playtime in audacious playlist (mld)
2006-04-09 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Code refactorization to unify configuration, effect and song
attribute handling among all frontends.
- Added memmem() replacement for operating systems not having it.
- Added uade.pc for pkg-config.
- Upgraded MED/OctaMED replay to v7.0, using Fastmem replay if
available and needed by the song (long samples :-) (mld)
- DigiBooster player now reports songname. (mld)
- Fixed ommited pointer in MED/Octamed fastmem replay detection.
(mld)
2006-04-06 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added a small README file
- Moved some effect related configuration issues to
src/frontends/common/ so that they're not reimplemented in all
frontends. See src/frontends/common/uadeconf.c function
uade_enable_conf_effects().
- Use of uade_enable_conf_effects() in audacious plugin (mld)
- Disabled debug messages in Audacious and XMMS plugins
- Removed debug message about song.conf not found. It's perfectly
valid that song.conf does not exist anywhere.
- Cleaned songinfo.c. Added a common implementation of read_be_u16/u32
to src/include/uadeutils.h, which is now used from songinfo.c and
amifilemagic.c. Changed length types to size_t. Made find_tag()
more generic and made it use memmem() function.
- Added Heikki's dpiutil to songinfo for CUST.* songs. (mld)
2006-04-05 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- PTK-Prowiz: changed opcodes beq, sf to seq on Heikkis advice.
- Tiny Protracker player compatibility change when calling
playvoice.
- Nicer playlist entries for Audcious plugin:
title (cur/max) - [Format]
2006-04-03 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Implemented NTSC mode support. It can be buggy and it will not
affect some players at all (those which set CIA tempo by
themselves). NTSC mode can detected in eagleplayers by reading
$212(execbase) aka VBlankFrequency(execbase). It's a byte
with value 50 (PAL) or 60 (NTSC):
move.l 4.w,a6
cmp.b #60,$212(a6)
beq is_an_ntsc_system
* pal system
- Changed Timing configuration in players/env/PTK-Prowiz.cfg
from CIA <-> VBI/NTSC to CIA <-> VBI. (mld)
- Mod player now honours pal/ntsc setting automatically. (mld)
- Fixed stupid *oops* in mod player reading cia timing from config
file.
- Added ntsc option uade.conf. (mld)
2006-04-02 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed P61A detection (introduced by mlds change sometime ago).
src/frontends/common/amifilemagic.c had "P60A" as the pattern
for Player 6.1, but obviously it should be "P61A".
- Improved the man page.
2006-03-31 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Changed DMAWait to dtg_DMAWait and add dtg_Timer support
to DIGI-Booster
- DIGI-booster songinfo now matches modfiles songinfo.
2006-03-30 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Small check for Fuzzac Packer in amifilemagic.
2006-03-27 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Renamed XANN-Packer to XANN-Player, following Sylvain 'Asle'
Chipeaux' suggestion.
- Merged Funkok saftey check from EP2.04 to protracker player...
2006-03-25 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added a new action key into uade123. 'i' will print module info
and 'I' will print a hex dump of a head of the module.
2006-03-23 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Sync'd songinfo for modfiles with the more verbose appearance of
Asle's ModInfo v2.31 appearance... It displays now sample sizes,
volume, finetune, loop start and loop size, too.
- Added yet some more tiny differences between Protracker 2.3 and 3.0
compatibility mode for completeness... (set sample_num in pt_plvskip,
and n_period in pt_doretrig).
These changes might have no effect on the replay quality like e.g.
earlier mentioned Updatefunk calling difference or volume setting,
though.
2006-03-21 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Small protacker replayer config file parsing fix...
2006-03-20 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed slight bugs in build system. Architecture specific CFLAGS
were missing from xmms and audacious frontends. Also, those flags
will be the last flags always so that they can be used for
overriding other options.
- Made debug flags really optional. They can be turned off with
--no-debug (for configure).
2006-03-20 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Figured out the period multiplier issue. It was a bug in my
brain. *g*
- Forgot to add notecut volume setting for protracker 2.3 and below.
This is now fixed.
- Set the default playback style to Protracker 3.0b.
- Added an experimental hybrid protracker setup: 9.
Effects are done ptk2.3a style, volume setting like 3.0.
This fixes some pops and clicks which even the original
protacker 2.3a replay and below had.
2006-03-17 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Enhanced compatibilty concerning protracker 2.3a/1.1b(fixed),
2.1a/1.1b, 1.0c and Prottracker 3.0b concerning access of
the periodtable while using the effects.
It's astonishing in how many ways the protracker replays
differ... :-)
E.g. Protracker 3.0b (like Noisetracker) uses a multiplication of
37*2 for all effects to get the right period. Protracker 2.3a and
the socalled bugfixed 1.1b replay use a value of 36*2 (like the
old Soundtracker)
Last but least ptk 1.0c, the original ptk1.1b and ptk2.1a use
one or the other value for some effects...
All in all, it's a mess and we have 4 different setups in our
protracker config file :-)
- Temporarily disabled the period multiplier hack mentioned above
because it borked on some tunes.
- Added "update volume when skip/hold note" for protracker 2.3 and
below. Protracker 3.0 doesn't do it.
2006-03-16 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Changed PAL audio synthesis frequency to be exactly 3546895 Hz. It
was 3541200 Hz before. The old value was totally synchronous with
video hw. Changing this does not affect anything else than audio.
The new value is from the hardware reference manual.
2006-03-16 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Compatibility for PTK-Prowiz can now be set to play files like
Protracker 3.0b, 2.3a or 1.0c.
INFO: Files being played as PT1.0c will have a different vibrato
depth, and use funk_repeat effect instead of the invert loop effect
which might break all mods composed with later protrackers.
- Added support for the different ways Protrackers 1.0, 2.3 and 3.0
updated periods.
2006-03-14 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
* UADE 2.02 (Muhammad pictures)
- Fixed a bug in xmms plugin that cut off sound data from the end of
a song.
- New Sierra AGI player by Don Adan / Wanted Team
- Better support for old sonic arranger files.
- Improved file type detection on many formats.
- Debugger improvements (see 'c' and 'i' commands)
- Added --buffer-time=x option for uade123 to set audio buffer
length in milliseconds.
- A configuration file was added for PTK-Prowiz (that plays protracker
and clones) to set compatibility to either protracker v3.0b or
v2.3a. Please edit file: players/ENV/EaglePlayer/EP-PTK-Prowiz.cfg.
- More KDE integration: support for kfmexec wrapper.
- Fixed many bugs.
- Many other changes :-)
2006-03-12 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Changed various uade123 parameters. -k and -K have been changed
to one option:
-k x or --keys=x, where x is 0 or 1 (disabling and enabling action
keys).
--no-filter has been removed. Use --filter=none instead.
2006-03-10 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed some compiler warnings. Using %u to print unsigned ints :)
2006-03-01 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Reverted mlds work-around to avoid subsong change lockups.
- Did a potential fix for the XMMS plugin lockup bug. However, I
do not have a test case for this. The problem was, I think, that
play_loop() called uade_lock(), then called
uade_gui_subsong_changed(), then gtk called some function,
which would eventually call get_next_subsong() which would
try to re-take the mutex by uade_lock() -> deadlock.
* THIS THEORY WAS WRONG.
- Merged a patch from Martin Jeppensen to rename some eagleplayers
to better names.
2006-02-28 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed -m option for uade123. "uade123 -m file" would only print help
but not play the file.
2006-02-17 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- Added some missing file extensions for the KDE mimelnk.
- Use of kfmexec wrapper in KDE mimelnk for easy ftp:// http://,
smb://, zip:// etc. support under KDE/Konqueror.
- Added install script for KDE users in /src/frontents/uade123/KDE.
Now playing Amiga music is just one click away from you ;-)
2006-02-15 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- NTSC Flag in config file ENV:eagleplayer/ for PTK-Prowiz affecting
Sound, Noisetracker, Startrekker and Protracker (vblank) added.
Normal Pro- and Fastracker are not affected.
Info: it's not a real ntsc mode in emulation but just calculating
the CIAA timer to use a value ~ 7.15Mhz, 60khz, 125bpm on PAL
machines...
It's a cludge I know :)
2006-02-14 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed /dev/urandom detection. Using test -c rather than test -e.
Test -c is more compatible and more exact too.
- Worked around random lock ups when switching very short subsongs
with the xmms subsong changer (mld)
- Config file for PTK-Prowiz' Protracker engine added to set the
way _Protracker_ mods are played. There's currently two values: 0
for Protracker 3.0b like, 1 for Protracker 2.3A like (for anyone
interested: funkrepeat is updated before parsing the extended fx :)
Differences are probl. not audible but Latter is currently the
default. If it breaks a mod file, you can savely turn back to
"0" (mld)
2006-02-13 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed uade123 to accept -k and -K switches. Their meaning is now
changed. '-k' disables action keys and '-K' enables.
2006-02-10 Michael Doering <mld@users.sourceforge.net>
- A new email alias. ;)
- Cosmetical change in name from 32 to 31 instr. for Soundtracker II
in PTK-Prowiz.
2006-02-08 Michael Doering <mldoering@gmx.net>
- Updated mod2ogg.sh to set encoding quality (Giulio Canevari).
2006-02-07 Michael Doering <mldoering@gmx.net>
- Put new Sierra AGI player by Don Adan/Wanted Team into players dir.
2006-02-02 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Cleaned up gensound.h. It contained unuseful external variables
such as sample16s_handler and sample_handler.
- Improved mod detection in amifilemagic and Protracker replayer for
Protracker compatible mods using effects 5,6,7 and 9. (mld)
- Quick "work around" of a lock up with the subsong seek popup and very
short subsongs in audacious plugin. Needs further investigation
though. Some kind of race condition, I think. (mld)
- Reintroduced produce_audio(); to audacious plugin for the freshly
released Audacious 0.2 at http://audacious-media-player.org (mld)
2006-02-01 Michael Doering <mldoering@gmx.net>
- Changed association of jp file extension to Jason Page New.
- Added simple detection for Jason Page old in amifilemagic.
- Added alternative Jason Page Player for one file Jason Page New
files (Thanks dom from the legacy.de for the report).
- Changed HIP, HIPC and HIP7 to SOG, SOC and S7G prefix in
amifilemagic.
2006-01-31 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed song length database bug in the XMMS plugin. The XMMS plugin
didn't use the correct md5sum in struct uade_song, instead it used
the old and useless array called curmd5[] which was an empty
string.
- Continued to move common variables in frontends to struct uade_song.
- Fixed instrument name len in songinfo for mods. (mld)
2006-01-25 Michael Doering <mldoering@gmx.net>
- Added Turbo/Infect's SonicArranger Player for "old" sa.* files
- Added experimental filedetection for two different
Sonicarranger_pc types...
2006-01-24 Michael Doering <mldoering@gmx.net>
- Synced audacious plugin with xmms plugin and changed back
to support the current stable audacious 0.1.2.
The audacious supporting "produce_audio()" will be supported as
soon as there's a stable release... (mld)
- Ported songinfo for Wanted Team song formats [e.g BSS, DL, FP...]
- Fixed mod title display in songinfo
2006-01-22 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added a new option to uade.conf: buffer_time x. buffer_time x in
uade.conf sets audio buffer length to x milliseconds. This can
be used to avoid buffer underruns on some systems. Beware that
Alsa support in libao is buggy in versions 0.8.6 and earlier so
that the actual buffer time must be given in microseconds. At
this time it is not fixed in any official libao releases.
- uade123 option --buffer-time=x can be used to set audio buffer
length to x milliseconds.
2006-01-21 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Imported the LGPL'ed Max Trax source to amigasrc/players/max_trax.
Then applied a patch from alankila. It is not yet an eagleplayer
but a work-in-progress. (alankila)
- Added a command 'i' to the debugger that traces till next hw
interrupt.
- 'c' command in debugger will now also print cycle count.
2006-01-20 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Continued frontend modularization and code sharing effort. Created
struct uade_song in eagleplayer.h to store relevant properties
of songs that are played. Modified uade123 and XMMS plugin to use
it. The transition is not completed yet. Many fields are still
unused and those fields unnecessarily duplicated in frontends.
Notice that audacious plugin is broken because of this, but it's
also in a transition phase.
- Fixed merging conflicts between latest frontend modularization
effort and mlds mod/fileinfo changes.
- Fixed bugs in songinfo.c. Some file checking could have read over
over memory boundary causing a segfault (but nothing else).
- Backported fileinfo for DIGI-Booster mods. (mld)
- Fixed a bug in XMMS plugin that it stopped a subsong too early
if there was another subsong to play. The sound data that was
buffered in audio output plugin was discarded. Thanks to Cthulhu
(the old one) for the bug report.
2006-01-19 Michael Doering <mldoering@gmx.net>
- Improved vblank detection in Protracker replay for mod.slow_motion
by Jogeir Liljedahl. (mld)
- Started work on backporting modinfo from uade 1. Ideally all
frontends should be able to use it. (mld)
- Experimental "update fileinfo window on songchange" feature...
2006-01-18 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added a simple and broken XMMS file info window. Module info
displays a hexdump of the first 1024 bytes of the module.
- Fixed #include issues with FreeBSD in unixatomic.c.
- Optimized sinc interpolator (alankila)
- Changed fileinfo.c to allow many different types of infos for
modules. Hexdump is the current default since nothing else has
been implemented.
2006-01-17 Michael Doering <mldoering@gmx.net>
- (hopefully) Fixed broken subsong detection for Digital Illusion
mods.
- Fixed unallocating timer resources when changing subsong in
MED/Octamed replayer. As a consequence, changing subsongs works
again.
- Removed sinc table from audio.c and put it into a separate file
named sinctable.c. (alankila)
- audacious plugin: changed legacy uade_ip audio output from xmms
to audacious 0.2 produce_audio(); Seems to work here, but I'm not
sure if it's 100% ok... So give it a test and report back.
- Fixed strlrep.h to #include <strings.h> to have size_t type (shd)
2006-01-15 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added more debug messages into the interface between emulator and
sound core. Now Amiga file loading events will give informative
message to the frontend. Use uade123 with -v to see all the spam.
2006-01-14 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Merged sinc interpolator patch (alankila)
- Changed RK to CM prefix in amifilemagic. This affects custom made
format. Old RK and RKB prefixes are still supported but they may
be removed in the future.
- Added contrib/sinc-integral.py which computes the sinc antialiasing
window for audio.c synthesis. (alankila)
- Made huge changes into sound cores subsong restart and interrupt
logic. Some formats were fixed with respect to subsong changing.
Try Monkey Island now. The tempo should be correct after subsong
change. 4ch MED/OctaMED is still broken. Try changing to subsong
9 in DaveNinja.med (some channels do not get re-initialized and
a disturbing sound plays on the background). The changes are:
1. Earlier we didn't call StopInt and EndSound in subsong change,
but now we do. The old procedure just called InitSound and
StartInt because our allocators in sound core were robust
against double allocation.
2. Implemented unallocation for CIA resources. See
rem_cia[ab]_interrupt functions.
3. StopInt unallocates the CIA resource used for the player
interrupt. Set_player_interrupt allocates the player interrupt
and calls StartInt.
4. EndSound has a default code now which turns off audio DMA and
sets volumes to zero.
5. exec.library/SetIntVector() does not enable interrupts anymore.
If interrupts are disabled they stay disabled.
2006-01-12 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Made anti (accumulator) interpolator to be the default.
2006-01-08 Michael Doering <mldoering@gmx.net>
- Commited audacious input plugin based on the XMMS plugin
(http://audacious.nenoload.net).
2006-01-08 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed XMMS plugin installation which didn't obey package prefix
(Michal Januszewski <spock@gentoo.org>).
- Added some more b-flags for fopen(). This time in code in
src/frontends/common.
- Cleaned up sound data buffering code in uadeipc.c, uade.c and
audio.c. Removed uademsg.h as being useless.
- Changed uadecontrol.c to uadeipc.c in src/Makefile.in because
uadecontrol.c is long gone.
- Optimized uade123 to issue next song data request for the uadecore
before passing sample data to libao. This way the uadecore may
do useful work while libao is blocked on sound device. This didn't
solve the underrun problem completely but effect of improving
behavior is clearly observable with 'top'. Before this change, top
showed only 0.4% CPU usage for uadecore, but after the change it
shows 3.3% CPU usage, and the latter reflects reality much better.
2006-01-07 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Changed fopen() to use "b" flag for porting to Windows environment.
- Thanks to sasq <jonas@nightmode.org> for help with cross-compiling.
2006-01-06 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Made uadeipc() re-entrant so that uadecore and a frontend could in
theory be run in the same process but different threads.
- Replaced poll() with select() in unixatomic.c to be compatible with
weak systems.
2006-01-05 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Continued cleaning up run-time configuration issues. uade123 and
XMMS plugin do not duplicate settings anymore. Most configuration
and command line options are stored inside 'struct uade_config'
which is defined in src/frontends/common/uadeconf.h.
2006-01-04 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Changed -I./include/ to be -I./include in src/Makefile.in to make
it compatible with mingw.
- PTK-Prowiz now accepts mods with max 1KiB trailing garbage...
Nevertheless use 100% good rips, people! (mld)
- Fixed spelling mistake in PTK-Prowiz *g* (mld)
- Updated uade123 man page with apologies about bad file detection
heuristic :(
2006-01-04 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
* UADE 2.01
- Compatibility fixes for OpenLSD and Mac OS X to make UADE compile
- Added 'cm.' prefix for CustomMade format (Ron Klaren)
- PTK-Prowiz subsong scanning was improved (mld)
2006-01-03 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Cleaned up post-processing of sound data. Removed postprocessing.[ch]
because it was redundant functionality and added necessary
functionality into effects.[ch]. Also, moved effect state out of
effects.c by creating 'struct uade_effect'. This allows easy
loading and storing of state.
The goal is to have a unified mechanism for handling information
from command line options, uade.conf, eagleplayer.conf and
song.conf that is easy. All the setting must be storable and
restorable through that mechanism. Currently that is broken,
incomplete and messy. The functionality is even duplicated between
frontends :( It will probably take many cleanup steps to achieve
the goal.
- Fixed Mac OS X compatibility issue. poll() was replaced with
select(). Thanks to Juuso Raitala.
- Improved (hopefully) subsong detection for mods and similar. Now
there should be less false positives in PTK-Prowiz than there
used to be. (mld)
- Removed 255 BPM SetTempo fix in PTK-Prowiz for mod.loader from
Coolspot to fix mod.alkupala by jorma... *sigh* (mld)
- Fixed broken Prorunner support introduced by reorganization
PTK-Prowiz (mld)
2006-01-02 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed a configure bug that occured when --with-xmms was specified.
(Michal Januszewski <spock@gentoo.org>)
- Made contrib/uadexmmsadd script to be installed if XMMS plugin is
installed
- Added a work-around for OpenBSD 3.8 which lacks portable types from
stdint.h. inttypes.h is used instead. Possibly this avoids type
problems on some other OSes too. Note that we require some C99
features from standard C libraries. Thanks to ave@silokki.org.
- Made OpenBSD use 'gmake'. Thanks to ave@silokki.org.
- Fixed execlp() call in src/frontends/common/uadecontrol.c by
casting NULL as (char *). Thanks to ave@silokki.org.
2006-01-01 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
* UADE 2.00 (Mental hangover)
- Finally the first stable release of UADE 2 series. The work began
6 months ago. There are still rough edges and deficiencies but
it is superior to UADE 1 in many respects.
- UADE 2 series has following improvements over UADE 1 series:
* Superior audio quality due to excellent Amiga 500 and 1200
filter models. The default sound model is now the Amiga 500
model. This affects all songs whether or not they use filtering.
(Antti S. Lankila)
* A component architecture which makes creating new frontends
easier
* Unified configuration files to set defaults for all frontends
* Improved command line tool, uade123, supports run-time control
of song playback for switching subsong, skipping to next song,
skipping fast forward, pausing and altering post-processing
effects
* Post-processing effect for headphone users (Antti S. Lankila)
* Skip fast forward feature in uade123 and XMMS plugin
* Many core subsystems have been rewritten or heavily altered
* New supported formats
* UADE 1 produces snaps in audio output because of a bug in
audio DMA engine, but is fixed in UADE 2
2006-01-01 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added contrib/uadexmmsadd script to add uade:// prefixed songs into
XMMS playlist. This is useful to avoid conflicts with protracker
songs with modplug and other XMMS plugins. Any other plugin will not
accept uade:// prefixed entries from the playlist.
- Changed forward seeking button in XMMS plugin from ">>" to "10s fwd".
- Allow gain values greater than 1.0.
- Improved uade123 man page.
- Fixed a NULL pointer derefecence in eagleplayer.conf loading. If
eagleplayer.conf couldn't be loaded it would crash.
- Fixed a directory creation problem with 'make feinstall'.
2005-12-30 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Merged an altered sample accumulation patch from alankila. The
patch has an effect only if anti interpolator is used.
- Removed crux, linear and rh interpolators because they're broken
by design. Only default and anti are now supported.
2005-12-22 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed shared library compilation for Mac OS X. Thanks to
Michael Baltaks <mbaltaks@mac.com> for information.
2005-12-21 Michael Doering <mldoering@gmx.net>
- PTK-Prowiz: Commited various changes to cvs.
o Almost finished reorganizing and redoing the mod checks.
o Fixed bug in Soundtracker with repeat in bytes handling.
o Fixed some bugs in handling empty instruments.
o Added hack for vblank mod detection.
o Hopefully working, support for Karplusstrong fx.
- Amifilemagic: backported a small bugfix in mod detection.
2005-12-20 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added a short note for Max OS X users to address a compilation
problem.
- Renamed INSTALL to be INSTALL.readme to avoid makefile problems with
Mac OS X.
2005-12-19 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Merged accurate audio output patch from Antti S. Lankila. The patch
solves the problem that Paula's 3.5 MHz output was sampled at
regular integer valued intervals that caused inaccuracy. The old
interval was round_down(3541200 / 44100) = 80 paula cycles, but
the real interval is ~80.299 paula cycles. This means 0.4% relative
error in outputted sampling rate that is not audible, but it is
harming filter accuracy analysis.
2005-12-17 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
* UADE 1.50-pre10
- Cleaned up src/include/events.h. Removed unnecessary event
scheduler.
- Reworked audio subsystem to be more debuggable and added comments.
- Fixed a bug in audio state engine that caused DMA engine to play
one word too much of sample data. How could this bug have gone
unnoticed for so long? The same bug exists in UAE too.
- Reverted back to not using interpolation with A500E and A1200E
filters. The anti interpolator caused problems with many songs.
It will be fixed at some point and changed back, but at the
moment there's doubt how to fix the problem.
2005-12-16 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Applied filter improvement and optimization to audio.c. The
filter should be slightly better than the old. Affects only
A500E and A1200E filters. (alankila)
- Cleaned up audio.c
- Reworked configuration loading system to avoid conflicts with
uade123 command line parameters. Command line parameters have
priority over uade.conf.
2005-12-15 Michael Doering <mldoering@gmx.net>
- Some progress on porting the mod detection to m68k asm.
2005-12-15 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed a bug that forced filter to be A500E type when --force-led
was uade with uade123. (alankila)
2005-12-14 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added displaying total playtime based on content database into
uade123
2005-12-12 Michael Doering <mldoering@gmx.net>
- replaced Grouleff replayer with Wanted Team's EarAche.
- added new EMS replayer by Wanted Team.
2005-12-12 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added INSTALL file to document build process.
2005-12-11 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
* UADE 1.50-pre9
- An XMMS plugin has been added. New features compared to UADE1 XMMS
plugin are seek fast forward and correct subsong seeking bar. The
plugin still lacks GUI for configuration, but uade.conf can be
edited directly.
- Filtering settings are audibly different compared to last release.
A500E filter model is now the default. It was A1200 in the last
release. This affects all songs, even those which do not use the
filter.
- New players for 15 instrument soundtracker variants have been added.
- uade123 man page has been updated.
- Most subsystems have gone through changes. Some important changes
have been left out. See log entries for further details.
2005-12-11 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Significant changes in filter default values. Current default filter
is A500E, which is audibly different on every song compared to the
old default (A1200). To restore the old behavior, set "filter a1200"
in uade.conf. If you want to advocate another default value, please
post to the forum or send email. The forum is preferred.
2005-12-10 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added notices to documentation that setting filter model has an
audible effect even if a song doesn't use filtering at all.
- Cleaned up configure script (that is originated from uade1)
2005-12-07 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added unrecognizable type "packed" into amifilemagic. It is
used to inform user about files that are packed with an amiga
packer.
- some work on m68k mod checking and replay routine (mld)
2005-12-06 Michael Doering <mldoering@gmx.net>
- XMMS plugin now automagically advances the subsong seek slider, if
the replay rolls over to the next subsong.
- Soundtracker15 name check that was added yesterday was removed. (shd)
- Fixed a bug in uade_filemagic() that char *pre was not initialized
to be an empty string by default. This caused
uade_analyze_file_format() to receive garbage data when file format
was not recognized. (shd)
- Valgrinded a memory allocation bug in two places of eagleplayer.c
(the same error actually due to replicating same lines of code),
where space for (n + 1) pointers should have been allocated, but
only ((n * sizeof ptr) + 1) bytes was allocated. (shd)
- Added gain effect into uade.conf. You can use variable named
'gain' to set scaling value for each outputted sample. For
example, add a following line to uade.conf:
gain 0.25 (shd)
- Made length test of mods with 32 instruments less strict. Due to
popular demand *g* now "oversize mods" get accepted.
- Added check for sane finetune and volume values in modchecks.
2005-12-05 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added initial version of song length database into XMMS plugin. It
is compatible with uade1 db-content, but named differently:
~/.uade2/contentdb. You can just copy the old db:
cp ~/.uade/db-content ~/.uade2/contentdb
- Content db is loaded during play_file if it has changed
on the disk. If it has not changed on the disk, then it is
saved if an hour has passed and the db has been changed.
- Added a requirement for Soundtracker15 song content detection that
the name must have prefix or postix being: "mod", "mod15", or
"mod15_". This change could be reverted at some point but now it's
the safest choice.
2005-12-04 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added missing #include for uadecontrol.h (sys/types.h for pid_t).
2005-12-03 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Made XMMS plugin display play time correctly in the play list
after a song ends. If song ended volutarily, tell XMMS the
play time. If song ended involuntarily by user intervention,
error, or timeout, tell XMMS that the song doesn't have a length
leaving the play list time empty.
2005-12-02 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed a latency and time bug in the XMMS plugin that affected
fast forward seeking. When forward seeking happened the XMMS time
display was not updated and the seeking happened with a delay.
- Made XMMS plugin report the play time for XMMS after a song
ends.
- Added comments about variable locking in XMMS plugin.
2005-12-01 Michael Doering <mldoering@gmx.net>
- eagleplayer.conf: Amended the different MarkCooksey prefixes.
- amifilemagic: fixed TFMX 1.5 detection bug introduced by the recent
clean-up.
- amifilemagic: fixed another TFMX detection bug. Should be alright
again now.
2005-11-30 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Make XMMS plugin auto detectable in configure script. The plugin is
still very experimental and incomplete in features, but it can
already play songs, or at least it should.
- GCC4 gave warnings of problems I had not noticed: Fixed a bug in
md5.h. uint32_t was accidently redefined (that is #included
originally from stdint.h). XMMS plugin's uade_ip structure was
declared static but later as external. Fixed signedness warnings
from various modules.
- Added seek-forward button into XMMS plugin. (mld)
- New replayer for Soundtracker v2-v5 mods with 15 instruments and
a lot of different effects added. (mld)
- fixed WaitAudioDMA for all old mod15 replayers. (thanks heikki!)
- changed mod15 (again) for stricter st-iv detection (mld)
- changed to a stricter tracker module length policy...
If uade doesn't play your modfiles anymore, it's a bad rip.
Get a good one! :)
- Since Master-Soundtracker files seem to use a subset of the normal
Soundtracker fx, they now get played with the mod15 replay
This makes Master-ST replayer kind of obsolete atm. (mld)
2005-11-29 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Partial and buggy implementation of song.conf. It is used for uade
specific work-arounds for broken or bad songs. Look at doc/song.conf
and src/frontends/common/eagleplayer.c. Please do not use this yet.
- Fixed some compiler warnings that surprisingly came with gcc 4.0.2.
- Fixed Makefile.in to not report error on 'make install' when XMMS
plugin is not installed.
2005-11-28 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Modularized loading and parsing on uade.conf options. See
src/frontends/common/uadeconf.[ch].
- It is possible that config parsing for uade123 breaks now.
- Added partial config loading support for XMMS plugin. Doesn't
support setting filter type or interpolation mode yet. You must
edit uade.conf by hand if you want configuration changes. No GUI
for setting options yet.
- Added cleaning rule for XMMS plugin
- New make rule: 'make feclean' will clean all frontend objects
- The XMMS plugin determines configuration file path for uade.conf
once during XMMS plugin initialization, and it will not change
afterwards. If no global or user configuration is found, then
the plugin chooses the file under HOME ($HOME/.uade2/uade.conf).
It will try to load the configuration each time a new song is
selected from the XMMS.
- Optimization: XMMS will re-read configuration when a new song is
selected if the file timestamp of uade.conf has changed.
- Fixed synchronization problem in XMMS plugin's play loop. The audio
device is drained of written sound data before actually stopping
the device. The earlier version cut of audible data from the end
of the song :( However, draining can be interrupted if the user
requests something urgent, such as wanting an immediate song change.
Draining takes time as long as audio
device has buffered data. Buffering settings can be found from
output plugin settings, as usual.
2005-11-28 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added hardcoded timeouts for the XMMS plugin. They are the same
as uade123 defaults. 20 seconds for silence and 512 seconds for
subsong. Reading uade.conf variables is not supported yet.
2005-11-27 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Continuing modularization of uade frontends. Various commands,
such as set subsong, change subsong, set filter type, and set
interpolation mode, were moved to src/frontends/common/uadecontrol.c.
The idea is that all the non-trivial commands have a wrapper in
uadecontrol.c, but trivial commands that don't require parameters
can be used through uadeipc.c (uade_send_short_message()).
- Added src/include/uadeconstants.h that should contain constants that
are common with uadecore and frontends.
- Subsong seeking works in XMMS plugin :-)
- Made XMMS plugin globally installable as it should be
2005-11-26 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Continuing modularization of uade frontends. Renamed
src/uadecontrol.c to be src/uadeipc.c, and added
src/frontends/common/uadecontrol.c which contains a set of
helper functions to control and spawn uadecore.
- Added --with-xmms to configure script for developing the XMMS
plugin. It does not work yet!
2005-11-25 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Cleaned up and fixed tronictest check in amifilemagic. Added
read_be_u16() and read_be_u32() to help parsing amiga formats.
- Cleaned up tfmxtest in amifilemagic.
- Cleaned up modparsing in amifilemagic.
2005-11-24 Michael Doering <mldoering@gmx.net>
- amifilemagic: improved mod32 and mod15 checks a bit
- ha! found pitchbend incompatibility bewteen
Master-ST and DOC Soundtracker II in amifilemagic. Now
Mods using the pitchbends bigger than 0xf are played as
DOC Soundtracker II:)
2005-11-23 Michael Doering <mldoering@gmx.net>
- Master-ST and Ultimate-ST replayers now check for a valid file
length, thus badly ripped mod15 songs won't get played anymore with
UADE. No exceptions.
FYI this will also be future for all other Sound and Protracker
derivates, so for anyone having bad rips - get some valid files! :)
2005-11-22 Michael Doering <mldoering@gmx.net>
- Improved amifilemagic: mod32 check now tries to distinguish
10 different mod types. (BTW. 4ch Fastracker mods and similar
now default to mod_pc and get played by the Multichannel PS3M player)
- Some more work on the mod15 check in amifilemagic again.
- Started to update the amiga mod15 replayers (Ultimate-ST and
Master-ST with better checks, resulting in breaking support for other
players like EP or DT atm.
2005-11-18 Michael Doering <mldoering@gmx.net>
- Lowered the file buffer size to 8192 bytes to reduce overhead with
xmms plugin scans. Unfortunately mods with a header and pattern data
beyond that buffer size can't be detected properly and get played
as plain mod15.
- Improved mod15 check. It should produce now less false positives.
- Added a smarter(?) way of the mod check for larger files that
don't fit into the check buffer completely.
- Renamed filemagic() to uade_filemagic() (shd)
- Filemagic buffer size (8192) is now passed as an argument to
uade_filemagic(). Previously both the caller and callee knew the
size.
- Made amifilemagic tables static (only visible inside the module)
(shd)
- Name prefix conflict between Future Player and PTK-Prowiz was
resolved in favor of Future Player. The name prefix/extension is
'fp'. (shd)
2005-11-16 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Made install to a standard path by default. That is /usr/local.
Use ./configure --prefix to override. configure --user will install
to users home directory as in the past.
- Committed initial version of man page for uade123.
- added a first uade-only mod15_Mastertracker player (mld)
- improved (?) mod15 type checks in amifilemagic (mld)
- started to work on more complete mod type check in amifilemagic
(mld)
2005-11-13 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Cleaned up src/frontends/common/eagleplayer.c. Removed skip_ws(),
skip_nws(), and loops that used them, and replaced those with
shorted loops that use strsep(). Changed index variables to use
size_t instead of int to be more robust against bad input.
- Fixed a bug that if eagleplayers.conf specifies always_ends for
an eagleplayer then forcing timeout from command line with -t
didn't work.
- Fixed a dirty bug in score that made score crash if an eagleplayer
gave a NULL pointer as module name. This happened with Frontier
custom. Closer inspection revealed that Frontier custom is also
buggy because it sets module name in InitSound() but the
specification says module name is evaluated after InitPlayer()
which is before InitSound(). This looks like a design bug in
the interface, or a typo in the documentation, because setting
module separately for each subsong is useful, and that is what
Frontier actually does.
2005-11-12 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Add new antialiasing interpolation mode, which corrects for noisy
treble especially audible in the A1200 filter model. It does its
work by computing the average value of Paula's output pins between
samples.
2005-11-09 Michael Doering <mldoering@gmx.net>
- Fixed missing hipc and soc prefixes in eagleplayer.conf.
- Associated #chn, ##ch mods to PS3M again. (note: s3m, xm or mtm
are still omitted by uade)
2005-11-08 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added slight noise reduction into CSpline code to reduce
noise due to interpolation errors, and snapping sounds from
sudden volume changes. (alankila)
- Updated headphone filtering parameters to place virtual
sound sources closer to head and reduced the associated treble
filtering to make the sound at the same time brighter and more
forward placed. The sources still appear slightly behind and
perhaps elevated, so the illusion will be further improved.
(alankila)
- fixed AON8 timing now for real *grin* (mld)
- added Musicline Editor to be detected by amifilemagic (mld)
2005-11-07 Michael Doering <mldoering@gmx.net>
- Removed dupes from new eagleplayer.conf (mld)
- Added new player: Musicline Editor (mld)
- Broke ArtOfNoise8 timing, and added song end detection. (mld)
2005-11-06 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added an experimental support for eagleplayer.conf, which is
specified at doc/eagleplayer.conf. The new system allows eagleplayer
specific settings. uadeformats is no longer used, so it has been
removed. Here's a list of currently possible eagleplayer options:
a500 (A500 type filter emulation is used.)
a1200 (A1200 type filter emulation is used.)
always_ends (A song always ends, so timeouts are not used.)
content_detection (File name prefix or postfix heuristics are not
used for determining format.)
speed_hack (Speed hack is enabled.)
Tips:
Speed hack can be turned on for a specific format by editing
eagleplayer.conf. A format can be marked as ending always, which
means that timeout values are not used (except silence timeout).
There are other options too, and all of them are specified in
doc/eagleplayer.conf.
2005-11-05 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Player interrupt is now a CIA A interrupt by default. As a
consequence CUST.Loom works (it requires that player interrupt
runs at a lower priority level than audio interrupts).
THM.BlueAngel69 might play better now - a good comparison is needed.
There are still a few things to do in the sound core's interrupt
system, see amigasrc/score/todo.txt.
- Headphones effect clipping fix (alankila)
- Added improved (but currently experimental) LED filtering code.
The old code was based on assumption that A500 and A1200 have same
output filtering circuitry, but this was not correct. After
analysing hi-fi measurements by pyksy, I designed new filters
by tweaking a couple of equalizers on top of a RC filter that
provided basic treble attenuation. Use --filter=a500e or a1200e to
test the new filters. (alankila)
2005-11-04 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Separated CIA B timer A and timer B interrupts finally. Some
Forgotten World songs started to work, but not all. Thomas
Herman BlueAngel69 swent back to its earlier buggy state. Our
recent interrupt handler change broke Thomas Hermann completely.
This change fixes our original design fault that only one CIA
timer interrupt may be used, but not both. This patch takes us
much closer to full CIA interrupt handler support.
- Heikki's CIAB-A and CIAB-B separation in soundcore gave us full
support of the MusiclineEditor player from Eagleplayer 2.02.
You still have to use --speedhack to give it enough
cpu cycles, though. (mld)
- forgot to add detection bug fix of the two different MCMD formats
in amifilemagic to changelog *grin* (mld)
2005-11-03 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
* UADE 1.50-pre8
- Many bug fixes and cleanups.
- Headphones postprocessing effect.
- Improved A1200 filter emulation.
- Added A500 filter emulation. Use --filter=a500.
- Cleaned up sound cores timer code.
- Fixed CIA timer initialization.
- Improved uade123 user interface. Press 'h' in uade123 or list
action keys with uade123 --help.
- New sample interpolation code (--interpolator=cspline).
- --stderr can be used to pipe sound data to stdout.
2005-11-02 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed a very stupid bug I introduced yesterday to src/uade.c.
if (curs > maxs)
foo();
bar();
Duh. Why did I forgot {}??
- Network byte orderized, or big endianized, subsong info transmission
between uadecore and frontend. This wasn't a bug. Just a change for
consistency.
2005-11-01 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Removed src/effects.c. It was accidently left there from uade 1
(alankila)
- Removed unnecessary functionality from src/players.c. Black listing
Protracker modules to be VBI timed should be in frontend logic
rather than emulator logic.
- Cleaned up text messages all over the place.
2005-10-31 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Did highly experimental changes to sound core's timing interrupt
system. I tested the change with all known players, and only the
Thomas Hermann broke out, but it was broken already, so no big
loss there. Of course I only tested each format with a few songs,
so it's very possible that if the new system doesn't work,
then I couldn't catch the problems. Nevertheless, I spent over an
hour listening to different samples. Testing this change would be
appreciated. One should especially pay attention to tempo, because
that may have gone wrong. The changes I technically made were:
- Made default interrupt timer to be CIA B timer A. Took away all
the hacks to use VBI when ever possible to be the default timer.
- While turning on any CIA B timer (A or B), it does not turn off
the other CIA B timer.
- Fixed CIA B timer initialization. Setting a timer (A or B) gets
the timer value from dtg_Timer(eaglebase).
- Cleaned up audio interrupt server.
- Fixed tiny bug in uade123 file extension detection (mld)
- Moved amifilemagic, uadeformats, and unixwalkdir modules to
frontends/common/ where they belong.
2005-10-30 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Modified headphones effect. (alankila)
- Added 'H' action key to toggle headphones effect, and 'P' to toggle
panning effect. Default panning value is 0.7, unless specified
otherwise with command line option or in uade.conf.
- Added forgotten -O2 optimization flag to uade123 Makefile
- Cleaned audio.c. Removed some debug #defines.
- Imported amiga player sources from uade1 project to amigasrc/players/
2005-10-29 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Antti S. Lankila <alankila@bel.fi> will be referred to as 'alankila'
in ChangeLog from now.
- Beautified and cleaned up audio.c and sd-sound-generic.h.
- Fixed a bug that caused 1 bit precision loss in audio output.
Sample data was multiplied after filtering, but it should have been
multiplied before. (alankila)
- cust.Bubble_Bobble gives wrong subsong information. Added a logic
into uade123 that determines subsong ranges if default subsong
is outside the reported range.
- Changed score's CIA setup so that both CIA-A and CIA-B time of day
counters run continously. Some players, such as Oktalyzer and
sean connolly depend on this. As a consequence it was possible to
remove a work around from score that patched the sean connolly
player not to use CIA TOD. However, any player using CIA TOD is at
risk of not functioning properly, but I have only seen two cases
so far (those which I mentioned).
- Removed score from uade source root, now it's only located at
amigasrc/score/ directory.
- Fixed a bug in uade123/playloop.c. If one subsong ended because of
silence, all the rest subsongs would end because of silence too.
I forgot to reset the silence counter to zero..
- Added a headphone postprocessing effect, and an effect framework for
different uade frontends. Try --headphone. (alankila)
- Try pressing 'p' on uade123 to toggle postprocessing effects on
and off.
- New filter code (alankila)
2005-10-28 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Radical cleaned up in audio.c.
- Fixed rh and crux interpolators. Thanks to Antti S. Lankila.
<alankila@bel.fi>
- Removed lots of unnecessary macros, variables and functions.
- rh interpolator is now names as linear.
- Removed src/config.h. It is unnecessary.
- uade123 help will now print usable action keys too. Also, one may
press 'h' at run-time to see usable keys. It will print currently
as follows:
Action keys for interactive mode:
'.' Skip 10 seconds forward.
SPACE, 'b' Go to next subsong.
'c' Pause.
'f' Toggle filter (takes filter control away from eagleplayer).
'h' Print this list.
RETURN, 'n' Next song.
'q' Quit.
's' Toggle between shuffle mode and normal play.
'x' Restart current subsong.
'z' Previous subsong.
- To verify whether a song uses filter or not, enable verbose mode
for uade123 by -v. You'll see messages like:
Message: Filter ON
- Added two different types of filters: A500 and A1200. Thanks to
Antti S. Lankila, again. Use --filter=a500 or --filter=a1200,
the A1200 case is the default. Both types of filter are
but A1200 filter is better tested. We need feedback on A500 filter.
- --force-filter was changed to --force-led.
- Fixed a bug with getopts. The long options list was not zero
terminated, and it had worked by luck so long..
- Added good ol' speed hack feature into uade123. Use --speedhack
to increase CPU speed for players that extra virtual power. It
is useful for players that require more cpu than 68k can give,
multichannel oktalyzer for example.
2005-10-27 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Made interpolation mode selectable from command line. Use
--interpolator=x to choose the interpolation mode, where
x = default (no interpolation),
rh = rh interpolator (broken atm),
crux = crux interpolator (broken atm),
cspline = Antti S. Lankila's spline interpolator
(This is not recommended for chip songs! The spline
spline interpolator is good for natural instruments,
but may produce bad sounds with chips.)
- Interpolator is selectable from uade.conf file by adding line:
interpolator foo
Note that using anything else but default is not recommended
at the moment.
- As per Michael Doering's needs, I added --stderr option to uade123.
It will force all terminal output printed onto the stderr, and thus
allows piping pure sound data. Example:
uade123 --stderr -e raw -f /dev/stdout DW.Platoon |postprocessing

* UADE 1.50-pre7
- Antti S. Lankila <alankila@bel.fi> fixed and improved filter
behavior. The filter state must be updated even when filtering
is not outputted. Output scaling was fixed to the right place
so that it does not distort filter state. Unnecessary range
scaling of input samples was removed. Some documentation was
added about technical properties of the IIR filter.
- Filtering by default was not enabled for those people who had an
earlier uade2 version installed to their home directory, because
make install does not overwrite ~/.uade2/uade.conf. Now the default
is hard coded into the source code.
2005-10-27 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
* UADE 1.50-pre6 (tester pre)
- Uade core now supports only 16-bits stereo. If 8-bits or mono is
needed the sample data can be postprocessed.
- Added experimental filtering support. It should be better than the
one found from uade1. Thanks to Antti S. Lankila <alankila@bel.fi>
for IIR filter coefficients and advice.
- New uade.conf options:
filter - enable filter emulation
no_filter - disable filter emulation
filter_off - turn filter always off
- New command line options:
--filter Enable filter emulation
--force-filter=x, where x = 0, or x = 1. Set filter state either
off (0) or on (1).
2005-10-16 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added a fuzzy state diagram on client-server interaction from client
perspective.
2005-10-08 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Unknown keywords in uade.conf are ignored. Old behavior was to
terminate uade123 on an unknown keyword.
- First try to load uade.conf from ~/.uade2/uade.conf, and then
try the global config file ($PREFIX/etc/uade.conf)
- Simplify playloop in uade123.
- Beautify directory hierarchy scanning by avoiding unnecessary
'/' characters.
- Started specifying uade client-server protocol. See
doc/play_loop_state_diagram.dia.
- Removed S3M support. It's not an Amiga format, and thus it doesn't
belong to UADE. It might also interfere with other players when
UADE is used as an XMMS plugin. Use XMP, modplug or something
else for these formats.
- 'make check' is now 'make soundcheck' because it's more a sound
check than a good test set.
2005-10-03 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Action keys made into default behavior for uade123.
2005-09-08 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Giulio Canevari pointed out that --panning doesn't work. For
some reason I didn't notice that (perhaps didn't test ;-). The
problem was false parameters for GNU getopt.
- mod2ogg2.sh from Giulio Canevari
2005-09-04 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added -g option to uade123 to only print information about songs.
Songs are not played in this mode. All relevant output goes into
stdout. This should be useful for scripting people. An example:
$ uade123 -g /svu/chip/mod/mod.Unit-a-remix 2>/dev/null
playername: Protracker & relatives
modulename: unit-a-remix
formatname: type: Protracker
subsong_info: 1 1 1 (cur, min, max)
<uade123 quits fast>
2005-09-01 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Cygwin fixes. Add cygwin detection to configure script. Makefile
should be aware that uade123 is named uade123.exe on cygwin.
2005-08-27 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed a memory copying bug which could cause sound data
corruption when skipping 10 seconds forward with uade123. The bug
was at playloop.c:273. memmove should be used instead of memcpy (shd)
- A patch from Jarno Paananen <jpaana@s2.org>. It fixes use of C99
anonymous initializers with sigaction (2) on Cygwin.
2005-07-28 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
* UADE 1.50-pre5 (developer release)
- Nothing better to do. Let's release the new version for users to
test.
2005-07-25 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- It seems ALSA lib could fork and consequently terminate a process
when used through libao, and we must not consider it an error in
our signal handler that catches all dead children. The signal
handler assumed that the only child that could die is uade. (shd)
2005-07-24 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- New keys for interactive mode:
[0-9] - Select subsong in range [0, 9]
q - Quit player
s - Switch between normal and shuffle mode
x - Restart current subsong
- Added -£ or --no-song-end switches. Song just keeps playing even if
the amiga player says it has ended. Dude! You can get pretty weird
sounds with this, and sometimes the sound core crashes, and should
crash. Fortunately that doesn't kill the simulator :)
- Made help print (-h) prettier by aligning tex columns
- Added -K or --no-keys to disable action keys (this can be used to
override the uade.conf if it enables actions by default).
2005-07-23 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
* UADE 1.50-pre4 (developer release)
- Added shell interaction keys into UADE123. The keys can be enabled
with -k switch, or adding line "action_keys" into uade.conf.
The keys are (mimiking XMMS):
z - Previous subsong
c - Pause
b - Next subsong
n - Next song
. - Skip 10 seconds forward
ENTER - Next song
SPACE - Next subsong
Does someone want these configurable into uade.conf? Please email
me.
2005-07-22 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
* UADE 1.50-pre3 (developer release)
- Added a -j to skip x seconds of audio from the beginning. Note that
this does not affect timeout parameters in any way. If timeout is
1 minute and skip is 2 minutes, the song will just end before
anything is played.
2005-07-21 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Added silence timeout
- Wrote a config file parser for uade123. Look at uade.conf file
for instructions. uade123 tries to load following files in order on
startup: BASEDIR/uade.conf and $(HOME)/.uade2/uade.conf. Command
line options can override config file parameters. Users of uade123
might want to configure timeout, panning and such values as
personal defaults. This is a very important feature important over
uade 1.0x command line tool.
- Restructured uade123 code into different code modules to make
maintaining and code reuse easier.
2005-07-18 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Fixed a bug in uade123 that prevented it from playing the last
subsong of a song.
2005-07-18 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
* UADE 1.50-pre2 (developer release)
- uade123 now has eagleplayer fileformat check ignoring feature (-i),
panning (-p), song timeout (-t), and subsong timeouts (-w)
2005-07-17 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- uade123 now uses GNU getopt
- uade123 can now output both raw and wav formats by using libao
file output mechanism. Wav format is the default. Example:
uade123 -e wav -f foo.wav songfile
- The sound core now reports to the simulator when audio output should
start. Traditionally the simulator has produced audio output from
the reboot of the amiga even if it is only useful to output audio
after all the lengthy player initializations have been made in
the sound core. For example, AHX.Cruisin now has 0.96 seconds less
zero samples in the beginning.
- Cleaned up sound core a bit. Removed some unused definitions
of messages between sound core and the simulator. Removed unused
code that was designed to be used when running sound core under a
_real_ AmigaOS.
- Made uade123 less verbose. Use -v option to get more details.
- Renamed uade-trivial.c to 'uade123.c' in src/frontends/uade123
- Renamed directory 'trivial' to 'uade123' in src/frontends/
2005-07-15 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
* UADE 1.50-pre1 (developer release)
- Lots of changes into uade123
- This is just a preview of the new system. There are no interesting
features over uade 1.0x versions. This release doesn't even have
xmms / beepmp plugins.
- Short instructions for testing:
$ ./configure && make
$ make test
$ make install
Will install everything to $(HOME)/.uade2/. Then
$(HOME)/.uade2/uade123 is the player you can use. This version
uses libao for audio output.
2005-07-12 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Code in src/amifilemagic.c does amiga fileformats detection. If it's
useful for any other project out there, it is now dual licensed
under the GNU GPL _and_ Public Domain. By public domain we mean
that you can do anything you like with the code, including
relicensing arbitrarily for your projects.
2005-07-11 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Improved the command line frontend in src/frontends/trivial/,
and now it is called uade123. It can now do fileformat detection by
content, and load proper players from their installation place.
Also, it can play multiple songs in a sequence if one switches to
next song with ctrl-c before the song actually ends. If the song
ends by itself, the system will crash ;)
- Found a bug in amifilemagic by accident. chk_id_offset() function
tested patterns of length sizeof(patterns[i]) which is totally
wrong. It was corrected to strlen(patterns[i]).
2005-07-09 Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi>
- Started hacking uade. The goal is to release uade 2.00 someday
http://board.kohina.com/viewtopic.php?p=3499#3499
- These changes start a series. Version 1.50 will be the first public
release in this series.
- src/frontends/trivial/ can now play single file songs.
- Debugging is broken because libao can't handle signals well.
- Tons of things missing from the system.
