2007-01-30  Eric Dantan Rzewnicki <eric@zhevny.com>
    * added specimen.desktop for gnome/kde users.
	* change to jackdriver.c for jack midi api update.
	* changed jackdriver.c to use jack_client_open() instead of
	jack_client_new(). This allows multiple specimen instances.
	* added command line options for bank to load and jack client name
	as submitted by Daniele Torelli <me@danieletorelli.net>.

2006-08-11  Eric Dantan Rzewnicki <eric@zhevny.com>

	* configure.ac, Makefile.am, src/Makefile.am, src/gui/Makefile.am,
	pixmaps/Makefile.am, bootstrap, autogen.sh (symlink to bootstrap),
	specimen.spec.in: changes merged from "0.5.1.1" branch
	representing paugh's reworking of the build system.

    * configure.ac: changed phat check to version 0.3.1. Need to check
	with paugh about why this was changed from -devel tarball.

	* src/jackdriver.c, src/mixer.h, src/mixer.c: applied jack-midi
	patch from Lars Luthman. NOTE: this should probably be made
	conditional on a check for a jack version with jack-midi support.

	* src/lfo.h, src/driver.h, src/lashdriver.c, src/specimen.c,
	src/gui/Makefile.in, src/gui/patchlist.h, src/gui/Makefile.am,
	src/gui/gui.h, src/patch.h, src/lashdriver.h, src/specimen.h,
	src/Makefile.am, configure.ac: applied specimen-lash.patch from
	drobilla (I think ... or was it Loki? need to clarify this). The
	pertinent changes are in lashdriver.[ch], specimen.c and the build
	system. The other changes are all cosmetic. There may be some
	slight confusion with the build system since this patch was made
	before paugh's build system rework.


2005-09-14  Pete Bessman  <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* src/midi.c (open_seq): Renamed sequencer client to "specimen" to
	match up with the JACK client name.  Removed old LADCCA stuff that
	was lying around.

2005-08-06  Pete Bessman  <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* src/gui/gui.c (create_about): Fixed the author entry for me in
	the about box.  It was missing the trailing >.  Chris thinks this
	is a very big problem, and was quite concerned, and had a
	discussion with me at great length on the matter.  This lead into
	a speech about my direction in life, and his fear that my aimless
	maunderings will find me a whisky drenched hobo in orleans.  So I
	stabbed him.  That's OK.  He's fat, and fat people don't have the
	same rights as you and I.  In fact, I propose using fat people as
	an alternative fuel source.  Think about it.  We can have
	concentration camps to make the authoritarians happy, and we can
	burn the fat people to make the nanny staters happy, and we have a
	sustainable and relatively clean (or at least, amusing) source of
	energy to please the hippies.  Plus, we eliminate the need for any
	sort of relations with despotic middle eastern countries.  Which
	pretty much means that the next time johnny jihad bombs something,
	the leftists are going to implode because they simply will not be
	able to fashion any sort of apologia for our assailants that even
	an autistic monkey could be persuaded to accept as plausible.

	...

	I fucked your mom last night.

2005-06-17  Pete Bessman  <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* src/gui/patchsection.c, voicetab.c, filtertab.c: use
	g_timeout_add() instead of g_idle_add() for refresh functions, and
	set to newly defined GUI_REFRESH_TIMEOUT interval created in gui.h

2005-06-04  Pete Bessman  <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* src/patch.c (filter): convert freso to logreso via lin_to_log() and apply.
	(patch_create): use DEFAULT_VOLUME for new patch volumes.

	* src/specimen.h (DEFAULT_VOLUME): renamed DEFVOL to
	DEFAULT_VOLUME and modified source tree to reflect change.

	* src/mixer.c (mixer_mixdown): convert 'volume' to 'logvol' via lin_to_log()
	and apply that to samples.

	(mixer_flush): added code to clear preview.

	* src/maths.c: added lin_to_log() and log_to_lin() to convert back
	and forth between linear and logarithmic volumes.

2004-11-30  Pete Bessman  <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* src/patch.c (prepare_pitch): fixed a bug which prevented
	portamento from working properly when a sample had been tuned.

2004-11-22  Pete Bessman  <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* src/gui/patchsection.c (play_cb): fixed play button to use

2004-10-09  Pete Bessman  <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* src/gui/mastersection.c (master_section_init): added a bit of
	vertical padding between the section and the contents beneath it.

2004-10-08  Pete Bessman  <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* src/gui/lfotab.c (lfo_tab_init): set lower value of sync

	* src/gui/*: updated to reflect
	adjustments to PhatSliderButton API change.

2004-10-06  Pete Bessman  <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* applied c0ffs patches to move jitter correction code to mixer

	* src/gui/envelopetab.c: Implemented switch.

	* src/gui/envelopetab.c, envelopetab.h: Adopt same behavior as
	LfoTab when adjusting pitch modulation.  Enable the on/off check
	box.

	* src/beef.c: Added pitch_steps and monophonic properties.

2004-10-01  Pete Bessman  <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* src/gui/gui.c (gui_init): Added (...) to end of Add, Rename, and
	Settings menu entries.

	* src/gui/filtertab.c (filter_tab_destroy): remove refresh() from idle loop

	* src/gui/voicetab.c (voice_tab_destroy): remove refresh() from idle loop

	* src/gui/patchsection.c (play_cb): changed to handle [button|key]-press-event
	(stop_cb): changed to handle [button|key]-press-event
	(connect): changed to connect [play|stop]_cb to [button|key]-press-event
	(patch_section_destroy): remove refresh() from idle loop

2004-09-30  Pete Bessman  <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	simple redisplay code so you can see the effects of MIDI CCs.

	* src/patch.c, patch.h, control.h (new), midi.c, mixer.c mixer.h:

2004-09-29  Pete Bessman  <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* src/patch.c (patch_duplicate): added code to store/restore lfo
	tables

	* src/gui/*: removed all old and unused files, finished up new interface.
	wootzor to the max0r!

2004-09-28  Pete Bessman  <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* src/gui/*: added hooks to new gui elements to read parameters
	from the engine

2004-09-27  Pete Bessman  <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* configure.ac: removed checks for ladcca and gtk-2.4, and removed

	* gui.c: removed bank builder and piano, added calls for new GUI
	components.

	* bank-builder.*, piano.*, leash.*: DELETED!

	* *tab.*, *secion.*: created new GUI components.  Not hooked up
	yet.

2004-08-06 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* beef.c: pitch is now saved/loaded, thanks to Rocco
	(linuxmedia4@netscape.com) for pointing out that it wasn't
	previously.

2004-07-22 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* beef.c: committed changed version by Sacha Berger
	(sacha@woanders.de) which accounts for new patch parameters.
	
2004-07-01 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* waveform.c: fixed the drawing to use the same concept behind
	Brensenham's algorithm for better accuracy, optimized and cleaned
	a bit.
	
2004-06-28 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* ROADMAP: updated to reflect Thorsten's GUI contributions; 0.9.X
	is now an audit/pre-release phase.

2004-06-21 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* lfo.c: restructured as a general class, share LFO tables now for
	more memory efficiency.  Added "positive" attribute, which
	constrains output from [0, 1] as opposed to [-1, 1] when set.
	
	* patch.c: added lfos at the voice level and global level on a
	per-parameter basis.  Added special handlers for LFO and ADSR
	amount setters for pitch, and added necessary code to advance(),
	so that the amount parameter for pitch modulators effectively sets
	the pitch that is reached.

	* lfo-settings.c, lfo-settings.h: removed from source tree

	* param-settings.c: added controls for LFO manipulation, adjusted
	amount widgets and code to work intuitively with the user
	(displaying amount in half-steps).

	* release: 0.4.0, "Smooth"
	...braaaaaaaiiinssss... gah...
	
2004-06-19 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* patch.c: added pitch setters/getters, and pitch_steps setters
	getters.  Use pitch and pitch_steps to implement tuning.  Added
	setters/getters for delay and hold phases of envelopes, modified
	patch_create() to initialize those values.

	* gui.c: added controls for pitch and pitch_steps

	* adsr.c: added support for delay and hold phases
	
	* param-settings.c: increased precision of control for spinboxes,
	added controls for delay and hold

2004-06-17 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* param-settings.c: added pitch option

	* patch.c: pitch is a parameter now, added pitchenv to PatchVoice
	and pitch to Patch, modified advance() to handle pitch modulation.
	Added properties necessary for portamento to work right to
	PatchVoice and Patch and created setters/getters.  Implemented
	portamento in patch_trigger_patch() and advance().

	* gui.c: changed starting master volume value to 80, added
	hooks for porta-params dialog

	* porta-params.c, porta-params.h: created the portamento settings dialog
	
2004-06-15 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* gui.c: renamed "chokes" back to "cuts."  It would be appear that
	neither naming scheme is terribly intuitive.  That being the case,
	I'll go for the shorter one.

	* patch.c: revised the order of volume scaling operations in
	gain(); we now add the LFO value first, then apply the envelopes,
	then apply velocity.

2004-06-14 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* sample.c: converted to a full-blown object

	* patch.c, mixer.c: adjustments to accomodate new sample.c

	* patch.c: reduced maximum number of patches to 32 and polyphony
	to 8.  This should tide us over until we have a global polyphony
	limit.  Added a temporary table to hold LFO values during mixdown
	process which render subroutines reference.  Added a hook int
	driver_set_buffersize() to resize these tables when/if the
	buffersize changes.

	* driver.h, driver.c:  added driver_set_buffersize()

	* mixer.c: removed lfo control and went back to "old" way of
	calling patch_render with full block of frames.

2004-06-13 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* configure.ac, Makefile.am: total rewrite, cleaning up
	everything and removing redundancy between Makefiles.  Builds
	that don't specify --enable-debug are also built with -O3 and
	without -g.

	* pixmaps: created a new dir for the pixmaps and a makefile to
	manage them

	* play.png, stop.png: redid these; they're prettier and smaller
	now.  sodipodi > all

	* specimen.h: changed the debug() macro to expand to nothing if
	DEBUG isn't defined.  This should save us a handful of cycles
	during optimized builds for free.

	* patch.c: added patch_init/shutdown(), acting as a
	constructor/destructor pair.  Created patch_lock() functions and
	replaced explicit pthread_mutex_lock() calls with them.  Bugfixed
	patch_create() so that new patches start of with PATCH_MIN_RELEASE
	(lest the wrath of clicky samples be upon the unwitting user).

	* mixer.c: added mixer_init/shutdown(), acting as a
	constructor/destructor pair.  Added a mutex to the MixerPreview
	structure and replaced locks on the sample mutex with locks on
	this new mutex.

	* sample.h, sample.c: removed mutex from Sample structure.  Having
	it take care of locking for us was rather unhelpful.
	
2004-06-12 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* alsadriver.c: removed G_MAXINT* and replaced with hexadecimal
	constants.  The G_MAXINT* features are only available in glib-2.4
	which isn't in wide enough use among LADers yet.

	* configure.ac: ripped out gthreads and added a check for pthreads
	(their usage is cleaner than with gthreads).

	* TODO, ROADMAP: updated these files at long last.
	
2004-06-11 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* sync.h, sync.c: added sync_set_method()

	* alsadriver.c: calls sync_set_method() with SYNC_METHOD_MIDI
	whenever it's config frame is shown.  Added code to restore
	settings to their internal values if you close the audio-settings
	window or switch to the jackdriver and back without actually ever
	starting the alsa driver.  device is now stored with a GString.
	Status is now stored with an atomic variable instead of a mutex
	(we can get away with it... but why am I putting so much effort
	into a doomed module).

	* jackdriver.c: added a checkbox to use jack_transport syncing,
	processed on cofig_frame shows.  Improved the transport code to
	handle tempo changes (necessary in order to work with the
	jack_transport shell, possibly necessary in general, a good idea
	no matter what).

	* patch.c: fixed a bug in patch_set_samplerate() where changes
	wouldn't take effect until the next call.

	* Released version 0.3.0, "Leading the Strike;" can't deny the
	users LFOs any longer.
	
2004-06-10 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* lfo.c: changed lfo_advace() to use cubic interpolation

	* mixer.c: changed FRAMES to 1 (these things should be run-time
	configurable)

	* patch.c: fixed a bug in patch_get_env_release() where the value
	returned would always be zero.

2004-06-09 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* global: made (mostly) sure the rules laid down in STYLE are followed (tons of fun)

	* jackdriver.h, alsadriver.h: removed these files and replaced them with extern
	references in driver.c

	* jackdriver.c, alsadriver.h: removed custom *msg code, added
	driver type to initializing message

	* specimen.h: modified *msg macros to print __FUNCTION__

	* patch.c: fixed an *insidious* bug in patch_render_patch() that
	only manifests itself when switching samples.  If the new sample
	has fewer frames than the original sample, and there are one or
	more active voices with frame-positions greater than the new
	number of frames, we get a good-ol-fashioned segfault when we
	attempt to render those voices.  Took about an hour of focused
	ninja debugging, could have been worse I suppose.  The solution
	was to add a check in patch_render_patch() to make sure that
	voices which exhibit such pathological behavior are ditched.

	* patch.c: created functions patch_flush() and patch_flush_all()

2004-06-08 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* driver.c, driver.h: created a new driver interface

	* mixer.c, patch.c, ticks.c: changes to accomodate new driver
	interface (the samplerate must be stored and cannot be explicitly
	retrieved)

	* jackdriver.c, patch.c: driver_set_samplerate() now called whenever
	driver is successfully started and if the samplerate changes

	* maths.c, maths.h: cerp() now demands an 8 bit fractional position value,
	rather than shifting a 32bit one
	
	* patch.c: replaced bit-twiddling for hex in expression for the maximum value
	of guint32 in patch_trigger_patch(), changed to accomodate new math.h

	* Makefile.am, gui/Makefile.am: added -Werror to CFLAGS
	
2004-06-06 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* lfo.c: added a minor optimization to lfo_advance()

	* lfo-settings.c: increased the maximum allowable frequency to 20

	* patch.c: created a new function, patch_set_sample_rate(), removed patch_sample_reload_all()

	* audio-settings.c: adjusted to use patch_set_sample_rate()

	* globally: did some style cleanups to ensure consistency

	* STYLE: a new file to hold the style guidelines

	* PROFILE: a new file to hold the most recent gprof performance profile.
	We need a streamlined way to do a profiling build.

	* gprof-helper.c: ripped this file from the net to make gprof usable
	in multithreaded environments.
	
2004-06-06 Loki Davison <ltdav1@student.monash.edu.au>

	* lfo-settings.c: added ui for lfo sync.

2004-06-05 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* patch.c: fixed a few bugs in the lfo handling code

	* lfo.c: changes to allow for tempo syncing

	* lfo-settings.c: tweaked Loki's lfo-sync code

	* midi.c: a few cleanups (ph33r).  ALSA midi syncing doesn't seem
	to work on 2.6.6 kernels, added a check for FPEs (should have been
	there anyway).

	* jackdriver.c: redid the jack syncing code (sorry Loki)
	
2004-06-04 Loki Davison <ltdav1@student.monash.edu.au>

        * sync.c, sync.h, jack-driver.c, midi.c: created midi/jack syncing code

2004-06-04 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* lfo.c, lfo.h: initial creation of the LFO module

	* param-settings.c, param-settings.h: the files formerly known as
	adsr-settings.*, moved here to accomodate our kludgey UI.

	* gui.c:  removed the huge #ifdef commented block, and adjusted for
	adsr-settings.* renaming.

	* lfo-settings.c, lfo-settings.h: new gui interface to control LFOs.

	* patch.c: added hooks to store lfo settings, rendering functions
	now account for LFOs

	* mixer.c: added LFO needed code

	* audio-settings.c: added call to lfo_set_sample_rate() during
	sample rate changes

2004-05-28 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* configure.ac: removed redundant AC_CHECK_LIB for libsndfile, and
	redundant gtk+-2.0 general pkg-config check

	* bootsrap: added autoheader call

	* Makefile.am: added GTK_FLAGS

	* sample-editor.c: added Loki's change to use a spinbutton for zoom level

	* adsr-settings.c: fixed amount spinbutton to be between -1.0 and 1.0

	* adsr.c: fixed erroneous conversion of sustain time to ticks in adsr_set_params()
	
	* gui.c: made the scrollbar policy for the piano's viewport completely automatic

	* patch.c: re-implemented envelopes for vol, pan, ffreq, and freso
	with new rendering system.  Set minimum release value to prevent
	clicks.

	* midi.c: changed to *actually* ignore redundant start/stop commands
	
	* BUGS: created this file to keep track of known bugs
	
2004-05-27 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* Created a new set/get interface for patch envelopes

	* Created a new patch_param_t for parameters which also
	have envelope information

	* Modified mixdown system so that each patch tracks
	and renders its own voices (huge change)

	* Created a new interface for note activation and deactivation

	* Lots and lots of other little cleanups, tweaks, and optimizations
	that I doubt anyone will notice.  Comparing the old against the new,
	I'm amazed the old worked at all.

2004-05-25 Loki Davison <ltdav1@student.monash.edu.au>
	
	* piano.c, gui.c: Got rid of the externs Pete hated and added some
	helper functions instead. You can now drag and drop onto the file
	button as well, loading a new sample.
	
	* configure.ac: added check for libsoundfile, some how we missed it.

2004-05-24 Loki Davison <ltdav1@student.monash.edu.au>

	* piano.c, bank-builder.c: Add multifile drag and drop support.

	* piano.c: fixed horrible crash if you dragged of the end of the
        piano, spotted by AudioFranky.

2004-05-22 Loki Davison <ltdav1@student.monash.edu.au>

	* bank-builder.c, gui.c: Added the ifdefs to check for gtk 2.4.
	
	* configure.ac: added test for gtk2.4.

2004-05-20 Loki Davison <ltdav1@student.monash.edu.au>

	* bank-builder.c, bank-builder.h: Added the new bank builder, requires
	gtk 2.4 now.
	
	* piano.c: Added support for drag and drop creation of patches using
	the bankbuilder.
	
	* gui.c: Changed the layout into 2 columes to support the bank
	builder, added the bank builder and changed location of the piano.
	
	* README: added bit about drag and drop.

2004-05-18 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* maths.c, maths.h: created these files and moved our
	interpolation routines here.  This is the future home of all
	future general purpose math routines.

	* ticks.c, ticks.h: moved getticks() and friends here.  All time
	related routines will go here in the future.
	
	* specimen.c, specimen.h: removed our in-house basename() and
	substituted all uses of it for g_path_get_basename().

	* specimen.h: fixed b0rken PIXMAPSDIR check/redef code.  Removed
	that old and crappy thread_data_t stuff (go go gadget vestigial
	newbie code).

	* configure.ac: added --enable-debug option

	* beef.c, patch.c: fixed a bug where loading a bank which has a
	patch with no samplefile causing segfaults.
	
2004-05-12 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* midi.c: finally got around to cleaning this file up.

	* patch.c, patch.h: finally got around to using a sensible
	naming scheme for the functions here (patch_set_foo instead
	of patch_foo_set), and it was all done automagically via the
	beauty of sed.  Mmmmm... sed.

2004-05-12 Loki Davison <ltdav1@student.monash.edu.au>

	* sample-editor.c: Changed the zoom buttons to a scroll button with
	acceleration and scroll wheel support, as suggested by AudioFranky.

2004-05-10 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* gui.c: renamed "cuts" to "chokes", since the former caused
	confusion.  Layout is now done with tables, and the piano widget
	is packed into a viewport to keep things nice and tidy.

	* waveform.c: fixed the aliasing problem, and adjusted the colors
	a tad.  There are still a few slight accuracy problems left to
	fix, as well as getting it to run smoothly with huge files.

	* sample-editor.c: made the scroll bar have a finer-grained
	resolution.
	
2004-05-09 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@gazuga.net>

	* midi.c: note-on events with velocity of 0x00 are now interpreted
	as note-offs (thanks to Alexander <aharvey@ij.net> for the tip)

	* piano.c: applied Loki's patch to purtify things a bit.

	* sample-selector.c: selector now keeps track of its current directory.

2004-05-08 Loki Davison <ltdav1@student.monash.edu.au>
	
	* piano.c, piano.h, gui.c : added new piano interface for showing
	range and location. Based on the widget from Swami. 
	
	* configure.ac: Piano widget uses gnome_canvas so added check for it.
	you don't need all of gnome to use it.
	
	* README: Added bit about how to use the piano.  

2004-04-27 Loki Davison <ltdav1@student.monash.edu.au>

	* cca.c : added this file to support Lash/Ladcca. Has the main lash
	loop. Calls the gui to update about new patches.

	* jackdriver.c, specimen.c, midi.c: Minor changes to support lash.
	
	* Makefile.am: includes the extra libs needed for lash.

	* configure.ac: test for lash.

2004-03-11 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* patch.c: fixed bug where initial resonance and panning would
	have whack values (thanks to Paul Brossier for spotting this bug).

2004-02-24 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* patch.c: exercised the power of memcpy to minimize grunt work in
	patch_create() and patch_duplicate().  Support for resonance and
	panning envelopes added.  Got rid of stupid conversions for pan
	and volume setters/getters, that's the responsiblity of the
	caller.  Envelopes can be turned on and off.

	* adsr-settings.c: support for resonance and panning envelope added,
	ability to turn envelopes on and off.

	* mixer.c: support for resonance and panning envelope added.
	Filtering is now done before gain adjustment.

	* beef.c: cleaned up the file opening process, accomodated new
	parameters.

2004-02-24 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* waveform.c: applied Torben Hohn's optimization patch to *great*
	effect.  Made another tweak and it's running like a raped ape now.

	* mixer.c, patch.c, patch.h, adsr-settings.c: added support for
	cutoff ADSR.  Still pondering the best way to do this, wonder
	if I ought to go for a completely modular approach.  Need to
	sleep on it and ask around.

2004-02-23 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* Makefile.am, gui/Makefile.am: fixed to use $(pkgdatadir) instead
	of @datadir@ when determining where to put the pixmaps (thanks
	to Torben Hohn for the tip).

	* configure.ac: removed useless dependency on gthread

	* specimen.spec: included and modified Florin Andrei's rpm specfile
	
	* mixer.c: fixed a bug in the ping-pong looping logic.  This
	has really been the bane of my existence as of late >:O

2004-02-22 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* adsr-settings: created interface to set adsr envelope parameters.

	* path.c: added volume adsr parameters to patch structure and created
	setters and getters.

	* mixer.c: added support for volume adsr. Fixed a bug in the ping-pong
	loop logic.
	
2004-02-22 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* Complete source tree reorganization.  Subdirectories and
	everything.  Much prettier now.  Ah.

	* playmode-settings.c: created this file to contain the widgets
	to set a patches play mode.

	* gui.c: now uses playmode-settings.c to set play mode for a
	patch.

	* patch.c: play_mode_t restructured as a bit field, allowing
	direction and duration properties to be separate but represented
	in one variable.
	
	* mixer.c: more tweaks to improve quality and accuracy, in
	addition to accomodating new restructuring of play_mode_t.  simple
	lowpass filter and resonance support added.

	* holy shit, I didn't sleep...
	
2004-02-21 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* mixer.c: made a change so that notes in excess of the polyphony
	limit take the place of the oldest note currently playing, rather
	than being dropped.  Thanks to David R. Clark for bringing the
	necessity of this to my attention.  Reimplemented the cubic
	interpolation routine as a FIR (pow() was freakin' slow).  Made
	some other optimizations, mainly by substituting floats with ints
	and bitshifting.

	* patch.c: added patch_duplicate() function.

	* gui.c: added Duplicate to action menu.
	
2004-02-20 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* mixer.c, mixer.h: moved mixing functions here.

	* loadsample.c, loadsample.h: modularised sample loading into
	here.

2004-02-17 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* gui.c: fixed a minor control interaction bug.

	* Today marks the release of version 0.2.0 of Specimen, or the
	"Mortal Wombat" release as those in the know refer to it.
	Documentation has been painstakingly (snicker) prepared and is
	available on the website.
	
2004-02-16 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* waveform.c: supports range parameters so that it only draws a
	specified part of the waveform.  This makes good zooming possible.
	No, plastic doesn't make it possible.  Eat me.

	* editsample.c: file initialized.  This is the interface for
	editing sample play and loop start/stop points.  I dare say it's
	halfway beastly.

	* editsample.h: file initialized.  Contains prototypes for the
	sample editing interface.

	* patch.c: modified the play/loop point setters to modify other
	parameters so that a sane configuration is maintained when unsane
	arguments are given, rather than returning an error.  Came up with
	better names for the enumerated event constants.  The
	interpolation calls were simplified a bit and the whole mixdown
	function now accounts for playing samples in both directions.

	* gui.c: controls for ping pong mode and reverse mode added.
	
2004-02-15 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* waveform.c: transformed into a custom gtk widget Waveform.
	Drawing routine is significantly optmized.

	* gui.c: now displays waveform using the new Waveform widget.

2004-02-14 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* gui.c: extirpated a very minor (but stylistically abominable)
	bug in the way loop/play control constraints and values are set
	during patch changes.

	* waveform.c: now supports displaying loop and play points.

	* patch.c: modified file writing to write patches in order of
	their display index.  Fixed a *really* stupid bug in the sorting
	part of patch_dump() (swapped twice instead of once...).
	
2004-02-13 Pete Bessman <ninjdroid@ml1.net>

	* got off my lazy ass and started working on this again.

	* alsadriver.c: made sure that we don't wait on threads that don't
	exist when trying to shutdown when we aren't running.

	* patch.c: replaced patch_id_get_all() with patch_dump(), which
	does the same thing only better and sorted.  Created the function
	patch_verify() for testing that a patch exists and is sane.  Right
	now, this basically means ensuring that the specified patch is
	active.  Any out-o-whack integer parameters will get constrained
	to something reasonable by the nature of the gtk_spin_button
	class.  I also created patch_deactivate_by_id() so that you can
	preview looped samples without subjecting yourself to them for
	eternity.  Eliminated places where ints were constantly being
	converted to floats by storing those values as floats.

	* gui.c: cleaned this up like your mother cleans my pole when the
	rent's due.  Just kidding.  About your mom, I mean.  The code is
	significantly cleaner, and accounts for the changes made to
	patch.c.

	* waveform.c: created this file, which contains the waveform
	display code.  It's pretty much where it needs to be, now I just
	have to use it on a grander scale.

2004-02-09 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* patch.c: fixed a few erroneous newlines in some of the returns
	of patch_strerror().  Modified loop and play point setters to do
	nothing if there is no sample for the specified patch (they used
	to return errors).

	* gui.c: changed cb_sample_load() to call update_interface()
	instead of making changes to the sample button directly.

2004-02-09 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* patch.c: added display_index property to patches and a getter
	for it.  Modified patch_create() to initialize it and
	patch_destroy() to account for it.

	* gui.c: update_interface() now organizes menu entries according
	to display_index.

2004-02-06 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* patch.c: added patch_flush() to stop any events currently in the
	queue. patch_mixdown() has been cleaned up a lot, it should be much
	easier to expand on it in the future.

	* audiosettings.c: calls patch_flush() whenever changing drivers
	to clear out accumlated events.  Not doing this results in a nasty
	pop sometimes, so this is a nice improvement.

	* configure: got an autoconf/automake setup going on now.  What
	a huge pain in the nuts that was.
	
2004-02-03 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* patch.c: fixed another memory bug in the interpolation
	section of patch_mixdown().
	
2004-02-03 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@m1.net>

	* gui.c: created a separate module for sample loading and
	added much needed "load" and "preview" functions.

	* patch.c: modularized sample loading and added support
	for "previewing" a sample.

2004-02-02 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* gui.c: current_patch no longer as file scope.

2004-02-01 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* gui.c: removed useless call to update_interface when loading samples
	that only served to disorient.

	* patch.c: fixed a math bug in the cubic interpolation algorithm.
	
2004-01-31 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* The first beta release of specimen, code named VOMITRON (those
	of you who get that kick ass) is made today.  Believers rejoice,
	sinners repent, etc. and so forth.
	
	* gui.c: controls added for loop points.

	* patch.c: patch_mixdown() does looping.  File reading/writing
	pays attention to sample start/stop info now.  Cuts work again.  I
	think I fixed some audio quality bug also, but I'm not sure.
	
2004-01-27 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* gui.c: controls added for manipulating sample start and stop points.

	* patch.c: patch_mixdown() accommodates sample start and stop
	parameters.

2004-01-26 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* bank.c: created a new file to handle the gui aspects of managing
	patch banks.

	* patch.c: set to use bank.c now.
	
2004-01-24 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* patch.c: patch_mixdown() does real linear interpolation when pitch
	scaling now.
	
	* patch.c: scant moments later, patch_mixdown() has been updated
	to do REAL LIVE CUBIC INTERPOLATION OMG!!? WTF?!!?
	
	* patch.c: fixed what should have been a horrible memory addressing
	bug and cleaned up the code a bit, excising gratuitous variables.
	
2004-01-23 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* In celebration of another year of our Sun not going super nova
	on us, another release of specimen has been made, monikered as the
	"Little Pink Christina Aguieasfdflarea Monsters"
	(HETAERA) release.  Midi velocity information isn't blatantly
	ignored, cuts are implemented, and crummy pitch scaling has forced
	its way into the code.

2003-12-22 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* Amateur hour continues with the "Winter is too friggin' cold"
	(WITFC) release.  The driver interface has some semblance of taste
	now, there is one mixdown function which does it's job well, and
	the CLI babbles incessantly as always.
	
2003-11-25 Pete Bessman <ninjadroid@ml1.net>

	* Initial ultra-mega-super-alpha release, code-named "It seemed
	like a good idea at the time," or "ISLAGIATT" since acronyms are
	way sweet.  Features a brain damaged output driver interface, slow
	mixdown functions, and copius CLI output.
