** ecamegapedal - User-visible changes (NEWS)  (last edited: 211001) **
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

About the version numbers... "vX.Y[.Z][devT]" :

  X = major version  - the overall development status
  Y = minor version  - represents a set of planned features (see TODO);
		       an even number means stable while odd marks 
		       development releases
  Z = revision       - small changes to major.minor version (optional)
		
  devT = dev-release - development releases leading to the next stable
		       version

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

Last officially released version is -*> v0.2.0 <*-

21102001 (v0.3dev0)
	- note: to avoid bugs in interpreting LADSPA plugin 
		hints, upgrade ecasound to at least 2.0.4 or 
		2.1dev3 (or newer)
	- note: verified to work ok with both qt3.0 and qt2.2
	- added: pixmap icons added! [artham]
	- added: sliders for editing parameter values
	- added: text inputs for setting low and high 
		 limits for slider ranges
	- added: explicit support for integer parameters
	- changed: ecamegapedal can now be compiled against 
 		   ecasound installed outside system library 
		   directories (/etc/ld.so.conf); requires
		   ecasound 2.1dev3 (or newer)
	- changed: improvements to the user-interface layout
		   logic - some big LADSPA plugins (like Hermes)
		   still cause trouble, but at least now  
		   sensible settings are restored once you 
		   change another effect
	- fixed: a divide-by-zero bug in vumeter code
	- fixed: few bugs that sometimes caused a seg.fault
	         if effects were changed on the fly
	- fixed: slider starting position is now set 
		 correctly to match default parameter values
	- fixed: numerous small bugs
10102001 (v0.2.0)  -** stable release **-
	- added: support for gcc 3.0
	- fixed: ecamegapedal window grew larger than
		 the whole desktop
	- fixed: better autoconf check for searching Qt's 
		 moc-compiler
18062001 (v0.1dev6)
	- note: jumped straight to version 0.1dev6 to avoid 
		confusion with old ecamegapedal releases
	- added: VU-meter from Meinhard Ritscher's KCorrMeter
		 app adapted to ecamegapedal; looks great! :)
18062001 (v0.1dev1)
	- note: initial release; previously ecamegapedal was 
		part of qtecasound package
	- added: entries for specifying input and 
		 output objects (w/ file browsing)
	- added: begin, rw and fw buttons
	- added: current position info
	- added: to avoid unwanted blasts of noise, a neutral 
		 null effect was added to all object maps
	- changed: ecamegapedal now automatically reacts to 
		   parameter value changes (no need to
		   restart the engine like before)
