-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Mar 4 17:45:05 UTC 2025 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.95
* Added a new sample editor screen with some new sample editing
features. It features waveform generators, resonant
low-pass/high-pass filters and experimental bass & treble
decrease/increase. This screen can be accessed by clicking
the new "Effects" button in Smp. Ed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Feb 17 18:46:08 UTC 2025 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.94
* Replaced the 6-point cubic Hermite interpolator with 3-point
quadratic spline.
* Changed how the tracker scope amplitude works. Now they're not
shifted "downwards" at very low volumes anymore.
* Updated the help text (the section regarding audio
interpolation).
* Small layout fix for Config -> Miscellaneous.
* Match starfield effect speed in "about screen" with FT2 when
"Original FT2 About screen" is enabled.
* Scroll speed change for waveform in sample editor.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Dec 25 07:22:12 UTC 2024 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.93
* .S3M loader bug fix: The Axx (Set Speed) effect broke in v1.89.
* .IT loader: Fixed behavior for overflowing sample offset
effect, and illegal portamento slides (still somewhat wrong, buu
better than before). Not that you should use the FT2 clone for
playing .IT files!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Dec 21 06:34:50 UTC 2024 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.92
* Further improvement to the tracker scope interpolation.
* Added a config option in Config->Miscellaneous for enabling
the original FT2 about screen (feeling nostalgic?)
* Did some very minor edits to the FT2 help text
- Update to version 1.91
* Critical fix: Fixed a position/playback problem with
voices/channels running at volume zero.
This bug appeared in v1.87 (03.11.2024).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Dec 9 16:20:23 UTC 2024 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.90
* Fixed: The Nibbles game broke in v1.89 (snake food was no
longer visible)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Dec 8 07:07:57 UTC 2024 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.89
* Fixed a possible crash on macOS (and possibly Linux) when
loading a module whose filename includes special non-ASCII
characters.
* Added a "Default audio device" option when selecting
input/output audio devices in the config screen. This option
has a few edge-case bugs, though.
* Added an experimental Impulse Tracker module loader. This
should only be used to extract patterns/instruments/samples,
as there are severe conversion errors when this format is
converted to XM under load. WARNING: This loader has not
been thoroughly tested, and may cause a crash!
* Fixed a bug with the tracker scopes where the sample would
sometimes not be isplayed correctly during a sample/note
trigger.
* Replaced the Gaussian (SNES) interpolator with a 6-point
cubic Hermite option. The Gaussian interpolator was very niche
anyway, and as it sounded quite filtered, I think the vast
majority of users wouldn't see a use for it.
* Added a few missing Norwegian/Danish alphabet letters to the
main font (code page is now 850 instead of 437).
* Show extra digits (when space for them) in the C-4 Hz string
in the instrument editor screen.
* Again, slightly improved the interpolation method for the
tracker scopes in "Lined" mode (when using the cubic/sinc
interpolators)
* Slightly increased the contrast for the sample editor's loop
pin lines.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Nov 7 16:30:26 UTC 2024 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.88
* Added an experimental .BRR (Super Nintendo) sample loader.
Thanks to astriid for suggesting this (and coming up with
some base code).
* The tracker scopes now show a waveform that is more correct
when using interpolation mode "No interpolation" and
"Linear (FT2)".
* Fixed: The "Gaussian (SNES)" interpolation option had a small
delay of one input sample point. Not a big deal, but I
corrected it anyway.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Nov 3 19:38:13 UTC 2024 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.87
* Fixed: Stereo FLAC samples with a bitdepth of 24 didn't import
correctly if you chose to convert to mono.
* Added a Super Nintendo interpolation option ("Gaussian").
* Fixed wrong tuning when importing Gravis Ultrasound .PAT patch
files.
* Slightly improved the interpolation method for the tracker
scopes in "Lined" mode.
* Updated the help text to reflect the new interpolation option.
* Code cleanup.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Sep 17 18:44:43 UTC 2024 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.86
* Fixed: The extended pattern editor had a status bar redraw
issue if you had disabled "Framework" in Config -> Layout.
- Update to version 1.85
* Waving logo in the about screen.
* Small optimization of the "volume change" function in the
sample editor.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat May 11 17:41:56 UTC 2024 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.84
Bugfix release
* There was a bug in v1.83 making you unable to play-test (jam)
samples at all while the pattern editor was hidden.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat May 11 09:25:43 UTC 2024 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.83
* Now you cannot edit pattern notes/data while the pattern editor
is not visible. This further prevents accidental song edits.
* While in extended pattern editor mode, show a status bar with
global volume, pattern edit status (to see if you are editing),
and time elapsed
* It was not possible to issue a Note Insert (Insert key) or Line
Insert (Shift+Insert) on some keyboards. Added extra
keybindings:
+ Ctrl+Return = Insert Note (same as Insert)
+ Ctrl+Shift+Return = Insert Line (same as Shift+Insert)
* Updated the Keybindings help text to reflect the extra
keybindings
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Apr 12 18:14:27 UTC 2024 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.82
* Fixed: MIDI was actually not working in v1.81.
* Fixed: Possible crash on startup or on exit (related to MIDI).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Apr 9 17:41:44 UTC 2024 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.81
* Rewrote some of the MIDI init/close code, as it looked like
it could be buggy.
- Update to version 1.80
* Doing note transpose on the whole song wouldn't count
overflowing notes properly (it would sometimes not show a
warning message first)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Mar 18 17:09:25 UTC 2024 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.79
* Fullscreen mode code has been refactored, as I apparently had
coded it the wrong way. "Stretched" mode always fills the
whole screen now too, and other issues may have been fixed as
well.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Mar 17 23:15:33 UTC 2024 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.78
* Fixed: It was possible to deadlock the tracker by attempting
to load samples that had a filesize of zero bytes, or if the
sample was in use by another program.
* Fullscreen mode has received more bugfixes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Mar 17 12:19:41 UTC 2024 - Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- update to 1.77.1:
* The 32-point sinc resampling interpolator was reduced to
16-point again because of the trade-off not being big enough,
and it was slightly wrongly implemented and would alias a
little bit in some cases. I'll implement a better sinc
interpolator in the future, if I ever stumble across a nice
and simple implementation. Please let me know if you have
one!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Mar 11 20:19:37 UTC 2024 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Feb 23 21:04:00 UTC 2024 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.76
* The 16-point sinc resampling interpolator has been upgraded to
32-point for better sound quality in the tracker (if you have
selected "Sinc (32 point)"). This interpolator is so good that
a lot of old XM tunes will sound muddy because of lo-fi samples
I recommend that you experiment with the choice of
interpolators. "Cubic spline" is a good choice if you listen
to a wide variety of XMs, while "Sinc (32 point)" is the best
option if you create your own tunes using hi-fi samples, or if
you mostly listen to XMs with hi-fi samples (or if you can
accept a muddy/filtered sound from lo-fi samples).
* Removed text fading from "about screen" (more is less)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Feb 17 16:10:20 UTC 2024 - Andrea Manzini <andrea.manzini@suse.com>
- Update to version 1.75
* Note transpose (block), instrument remapping (block), Cut Block (ALT+F3)
and Copy Block (ALT+F4) had issues if you had made a block selection in
the last channel/track in a pattern.
Thanks to Roz for finding this and reporting it, and sorry to all the people
who may have had this bug without knowing what was going on!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Dec 16 19:23:29 UTC 2023 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.74
* Added a cubic spline audio interpolation option.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Oct 30 18:53:32 UTC 2023 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.73
* Sample editor: Shift + mouse-wheel = scroll sample data view
- Update to version 1.72
* Block Cut (ALT+F3) and Block Copy (ALT+F4) was broken in v1.70
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Oct 4 15:36:01 UTC 2023 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.71
* CTRL+A/ALT+A keybindings were swapped.
- Update to version 1.70
* Bugfix: Shrink Pattern ("Srnk.") could lead to a pattern
length of 0.
* Better variable sanitation for some pattern editing routines,
may (?) prevent some rare crashes.
* CTRL+F5 (Paste Pattern) had wrong button names in its
message box when asking to adjust the pattern length after
pasting.
* Changed the above message box text to be easier to understand.
* Removed audio dithering for 16-bit audio bit depth mode. It
seemed to be wrongly implemented anyway.
* Some small changes done to the about screen.
* Code cleanup.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Aug 27 13:13:37 UTC 2023 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.69
Bugfixes
* The 'pattern expand' feature was heavily broken and would mess
up the pattern data (and potentially crash the program).
* The program crash message could overflow and not show the full
text on some system
- Update to version 1.68
* De-minimize window (if minimized) and set focus after
drag n' drop of file.
- Update to version 1.67
* The song-to-WAV export screen now defaults to the tracker's bit
depth and audio rate. This was actually the behavior for
earlier versions of the FT2 clone, but I decided to change it
back.
* The song-to-WAV exporter now allows rates up to 384kHz.
* Alpha-based fade in for the about screen content.
* Some small text string changes (config and song-to-WAV export
screen)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Apr 15 10:35:38 UTC 2023 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.66
* Added a 16 point sinc interpolation option (higher quality).
* Changed some settings for the default configuration:
1. Palette theme = Dark mode
2. Scopes = Lined
Note: Your existing configuration will not be changed!
* Changed the layout a little in the Config section (Audio /
"I/O Devices")
* Removed the 192kHz audio output setting. This was a bit
extreme to begin with. Note: You can still select this rate
when exporting songs to WAV.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Mar 4 11:56:27 UTC 2023 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.65
* Quick fix for volume ramp delta.
- Update to version 1.64
* Increased number of precision bits for song BPM, playback time
counter and audio->video syncing. This is a minor change and
does very little in practice as the previous precision was
already quite good.
* Audio/video sync timestamps are reset every half an hour to
prevent possible sync drifting after several hours of playing
a song without a single song stop (resets timestamp) in-between
* The HPC timers are reset every half an hour instead of every
hour. Video (if no vsync) and the scopes use these timers.
* Small code refactor for how the song is timed/ticked. Longer
song-to-WAV renders may have a filesize change of a few bytes,
but this is actually more correct.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Feb 14 21:42:47 UTC 2023 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.63
- Build with system-wide flac
- Use pkg-config style dependencies
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Oct 9 14:04:02 UTC 2021 - Arachnos
- Initial package with Fasttracker II clone v1.47
