Fri April 11 2008 -- Version 0.9.3
----------------------------------------
This is a bug fix release, containing the following changes:
* Fixed bounds checking of mode in speex header. relates to:
http://www.ocert.org/advisories/ocert-2008-2.html
* Fixed bug preventing device dialog being reopened when
closed via the window manager.
All users with speex handling enabled should upgrade.
Tue Jan 30 2007 -- Version 0.9.2
--------------------------------
New in this release:
* ALSA is now the default driver. see README.OSS for oss
* minimum supported gtk version raised to 2.4
* added the "hand tool" for panning the display with inertia
(Radoslaw Korzeniewski)
* can now open multiple files via the gtk file selector
* implemented accel editing via the usual gtk method
* added tdb lock override (Takashi Iwai)
* remove support for libsndfile0 (Erik de Castro Lopo)
* remove direct flac support as it's supported by libsndfile now
(Erik de Castro Lopo)
* added a new splash screen (Pascal Klein)
* fix segfault when closing windows while others were still loading
* other bugs addressed and changes made. run "svn log" on a copy of svn
trunk for details, or check http://trac.metadecks.org/timeline
* released 0.9.2
Mon Jan 30 2006 -- Version 0.9.1
--------------------------------
This is a maintainance release.
The previous release (0.9.0) had a bug that prevented sweep from
populating the ALSA devices in settings. The bug was only apparent
when you built with ALSA and didn't have a previous installation
of sweep that used ALSA.
If you installed sweep 0.9.0 and had problems getting any sound
output then please upgrade to 0.9.1.
Mon Aug 22 2005 -- Version 0.8.4
--------------------------------
This is maintainance release, including:
* updates for ALSA 1.0 (Daniel Dreschers, Charles Turner),
* a new Polish translation (Radoslaw Korzeniewski),
* an updated russian translation (Alex Prokoudine),
* a small fix to the German translation, and
* various minor tweaks and improvements.
This is likely to be the last Sweep release based on GTK+-1.2. Further
development will use GTK+-2.0 for the interface.
Over the last year, Peter Shorthose has developed a comprehensive set of
GTK+-2.0 patches for Sweep, and will handle their merging and ongoing
release management towards Sweep 1.0. Welcome Peter!
The trunk of sweep CVS has been migrated to a new Subversion repository.
You can check it out by:
svn co http://svn.metadecks.org/sweep/trunk sweep
svn.metadecks.org can also be browsed via trac at:
http://trac.metadecks.org/
Fri Apr 30 2004 -- Version 0.8.3
--------------------------------
This is a maintainance release, including a new Spanish translation,
various bugfixes and no new functionality.
Sweep has moved back into CVS at SourceForge. Five new developers have
been added to the project: Yuri Bongiorno, Erik de Castro Lopo, Torben
Hohn, Andr? Pang, and Alexandre Prokoudine.
Internationalization (i18n) improvements:
* a new Spanish translation by Juan Manuel Martinez
* an updated Italian translation by Yuri Bongiorno
Bugfixes:
* resampler bug fixed by Erik de Castro Lopo
* made main scrollbar arrows useful (bug #821596)
* seven other bug reports closed
* compile warning fixes for GCC3
The dependency on libtdb has been removed. TDB sources are now pulled
directly from the upstream Samba subversion repository.
Wed Apr 30 2003 -- Version 0.8.2
--------------------------------
This release contains support for ALSA 0.9; this is configurable and could
do with widespread testing.
To build with ALSA support, simply configure with:
./configure --enable-alsa
Note that this will build a binary which will work with ALSA only, and
not attempt to use OSS. In future this will be replaced with plugins
for different pcm i/o methods, which should ease binary distribution.
Internationalization (i18n) improvements:
* a complete audit of untranslateable strings, including
mis-configured source files and unmarked strings, by
Silvia Pfeiffer.
* a new Greek translation by Dokianakis Fanis
* a new Russian translation by Alexandre Prokoudine
* an updated Italian translation by Yuri Bongiorno
* an updated German translation by Silvia Pfeiffer
There is a new mailing list: sweep-i18n. List information is at
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sweep-i18n
Additional changes include:
* added VBR without DTX option for Speex 1.0 speech encoding
* improved accuracy of sliders in processing dialogs

Yuri Bongiorno.
New at metadecks.org:
Notes for the tutorial "Using Sweep: Fun with Scrubby" are now

Sat Jan 4 2003 -- Open Sound System's killer app of the month
-------------------------------------------------------------
Sweep has been selected as the killer app of the month for January 2003 by

in Perth, Australia; a tutorial titled "Using Sweep: Fun with Scrubby", and
an overview of Sweep's internals and plugin development.
Fri Dec 6 2002 -- Version 0.5.12
---------------------------------
New in this release:
* an updated Italian translation from Yuri Bongiorno
* resample (sample rate conversion): change the sample rate of a
file, for example from CD format to DAT format, or to any arbitrary
sample rate. This requires Erik de Castro Lopo's newly released
libsamplerate, available from http://www.mega-nerd.com/SRC/
* preview cut: hear how the area around the selection will sound
after the selection is cut out, including the parts between
selection regions for multi-region selections.
* preroll to cursor: play one second of sound leading up to the
cursor; useful for hearing the cursor position without moving it.
Bugs were fixed in MP3 loading and pitched playback (using QWERTY keys).
Thu Nov 28 2002 -- Version 0.5.11
---------------------------------
New features in this release include:
* mixing and crossfading paste methods: copy a region from one file
and mix or fade it into another file or elsewhere in the same file,
with control of source and destination levels and phase.
* navigation shortcuts to move between selection edges: move the
cursor between the start and end of selection regions, and to the
next edge of a multi-region selection, with Ctrl + Arrow Left/Right
* view memories: assign the viewable area to a number on the numeric
keypad with Ctrl+<Num>, and zoom back to it later by pressing that
number. (NB. Num Lock must be on on your keyboard).
* support for Speex 1.0beta3 ultra-wideband mode (32kHz). Speex is
a high quality, patent-free and open source voice codec.
* support for full-file application of Secret Rabbit Code
Additionally, minor bugs were fixed affecting portability of system error
handling and detection of MP3 files.
