Release notes for slab-3.10.2b-linux-glibc:

Release 3.10.1 is the official release as of 1/12/99. Fix 3.03 is soon to be available, and it will probably become the most stable version. Release 3.20 is likely to be an ongoing beta process to work on a control API. Unless you are specifically working with the control API then this release, 3.20, is unlikely to be interesting since there are no futher features above and beyond those in 3.10. Release Notes 4.0 beta 3 ------------------------ CD Mastering - audio daemon will output CD-R files, plus frontend. ALSA driver support integrated. Floating point algorithms are now extensible. PIPO Punch points have a configurable bowtie crossfade location. Fixes: PIPO offset points were corrected, they could be slightly out. Have received permission to include cdrecord in distribution (needs notes). Known Issues: The devDisable flag is broken, avoid using it on any configured device. Failed to open audio device message displayed when driver types changed. Release Notes 4.0 beta 2 ------------------------ CD Mastering - audio daemon will output CD-R files, plus frontend. ALSA driver support integrated. Floating point algorithms are now extensible. Fixes: ALSA drivers no longer stutter at start of play. WaveMeter zoom pot is now painted on open. Zero Find options were enhanced for closer sample selection. PIPO offset points were corrected, they could be slightly out. Have received permission to include cdrecord in distribution (needs notes). Known Issues: The devDisable flag is broken, avoid using it on any configured device. Failed to open audio device message displayed when driver types changed. Release Notes 4.0 beta 1 ------------------------ CD Mastering - audio daemon will output CD-R files, plus frontend. ALSA driver support integrated. Floating point algorithms are now extensible. Known Issues: The ALSA drivers will tick just after a play operation. This is a sync issue and is being worked on. FIXED. The devDisable flag is broken, avoid using it on any configured device. Release Notes 3.10.1(r) ----------------------- Introduced the multiheaded audio daemon. You need to open the global device config from the main mixSLab window, and check the "tight sync" option. See "Known Issues" section. Requires subFragment enabled. Introduced sample rate monitoring, check the View menu in studioSLab. Added a soundcard database for ease of configuration. Declick functions incorporated. Known Issues: [3.10 would fail some export operations due to use of hardlinks for some files]. Release Notes 3.20 (devel 2) ---------------------------- Introduces the control API. No other features. Known Issues: API no longer requires glibc 2.1, but relies on client interupting the GUI. This implies client and GUI must be resident on same system. Use of the glibc 2.1 will support "remote mixing" - the desk on one system and the mixing engine on another [This could also be done with 2.0, but would require a network daemon to liase between client and GUI]. All 3.10 issues apply to 3.20 [All 3.02 and 3.10 fixes are in 3.20]. Release Notes 3.10 (beta 2) --------------------------- Introduced the multiheaded audio daemon. You need to open the global device config from the main mixSLab window, and check the "tight sync" option. See "Known Issues" section. Requires subFragment enabled. Introduced sample rate monitoring, check the View menu in studioSLab. Known Issues: FX chaining with floating point algorithms still fails. Mastering Output has reported failures, but they should be fixed. The multiHead daemon has been reported as failing, but works here. Your mileage may vary. Please report problems. Release Notes 3.02 (beta 1) No new features, just a set of fixes to 3.01. Will maintain a window of a couple of weeks for problem reports, then upload an official fix.
