File ft2-clone.changes of Package ft2-clone
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Sep 17 18:56:32 UTC 2025 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.99
* When loading .IFF samples, always set volume to max (64)
instead of reading the sample volume from the IFF header.
This is because many IFFs used different ranges for the sample
volume, so the resulting sample volume value would often bei
zero instead of max.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Sep 7 19:14:13 UTC 2025 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.98
* Re-added audio dithering for 16-bit audio output.
* Tracker scopes changed yet again, reverted to original
integer-based scaling.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Jul 13 17:52:40 UTC 2025 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.97
* Improved the tracker scopes interpolation a little bit.
More smooth in some cases, but barely noticable.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed May 21 19:00:40 UTC 2025 - Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 1.96
* Fixed: When deleting a song position entry, the currently
viewed pattern would sometimes not be the correct one.
* Reverted tracker scope scaling behavior to that of v1.93 and
earlier. This is a minor change. Sample waveform will not
have an upper clip now.
* Don't bypass window compositor in Linux (fixes broken window
manager visuals).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
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>
- Update to version 1.77

-------------------------------------------------------------------
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
