 * new Classes: Parser DynamicLoader Filter (previously was a struct)
 * moved gui-independent functions into a library (libkwave)
 * rework of dialogs into single files and single plugins
 * new calling scheme via string commands. This will allow scripting and macro
   definitions. Threading is made a whole lot easier, because a only a
   string has to be passed and gets expanded into the needed set of
   parameters in each thread
 * io functions and playback adapted to SignalManager
 * Introduction of SignalManager class for multiple channel management

0.29.5 [1998-12-25] (by Martin Wilz <mwilz@ernie.mi.uni-koeln.de>)

 * Just a fix for an annoying bug while zooming out

0.29.4 [1998-12-22] (by Martin Wilz <mwilz@ernie.mi.uni-koeln.de>)

 * removed a memory leak in playback
 * triple-checked the missing Accelerators in the Menumanager. It seems to
   be a bug in qpopmenu, I'll wait for qt to be fixed, or until a workaround
   is known
 * recent Files are updated again, while the program is running
 * kwave now keeps track of last directory saved to; for user convenience
 * reestablished selection mechanism to match versions
   before 0.29.3 and corrected some otherwise screwed-up behavior
 * _now_ all parameters to destructors should have vanished

0.29.3 [1998-12-18] (by Martin Wilz <mwilz@ernie.mi.uni-koeln.de>)

 * developement has slowed down a bit, this release is not as complete as I
   wished but since 0.29.2 has a destructor with parameters accidentally left
   in, and so does not compile on all systems -> here we go again...

 * reworked selection routines into a new class, code is still rather
   confusing, but seems to work
 * added checkmark functionality again
 * converted file-menus to new menu-scheme
 * added gui to mix channels together, the needed functions for mixing
   are still missing
 * Halt button by Gerhard Zintel

0.29.2 [1998-12-15] (by Martin Wilz <mwilz@ernie.mi.uni-koeln.de>)

 * moved clipboard functionality to its own class
 * dynamic allocation of menu entries used by all classes but TopWidget
 * import of ascii data files

0.29.1 [1998-12-13] (by Martin Wilz <mwilz@ernie.mi.uni-koeln.de>)

 * Bugfix for multichannel save. Now the saved files should work with other prgs
 * local snap to peak by Gerhard Zintel

0.29.0 [1998-11-12] (by Martin Wilz <mwilz@ernie.mi.uni-koeln.de>)

 * changed version numbering and filename as suggested by
   Version 1.1 of "How To Name Things" from sunsite. The last digit will
   always mark be 0 for releases uploaded to ftp.kde.org.
 * added windowing (Hamming Hanning, Blackmann) functions
 * contribution from Gerhard Zintel displaying notes in fftview
 * Added pitch display window
 * implemented cursor and db scale for fft-view
 * added reselection and cursor change
 * added possibility of different display modes in Frequency representation
 * fixed severe quantization bug in saving 16Bit routine, reported by ?
 * mmaping support contributed by Juhana Kouhia
 * added as new Possibility to generate Signals: pulse trains
 * added wrapper for systems with no posixthreads ->
   still needs handling by configure script
   (change Makefile for not linking libpthread and doing a define)
 * First use of multiple threads (pthreads) in some functions
 * Pitch generation now independent of additive synthesis
 * added import function for ascii files
 * Ascii label saving now also by frequency
 * Label generation according to Period Detection (autocorellation)
 * Sonagram, FFTView and Distortion-Dialog  now use ScaleWidgets
 * New ScaleWidget gives the user more information
 * Improved ProgressDialog and Interpolation class to allow multiple threads
 * fixed some minor bugs

0.28 [1998-07-15] (by Martin Wilz <mwilz@ernie.mi.uni-koeln.de>)
