What's new in MilkyTracker 0.90.60:

June 27th, 2007

New imported (obscure) module formats (mainly for personal satisfaction):
· Another DSM format (Digisound Interface Kit library)
· Another AMF format (DSMI library)
· SFX (SoundFX)
· Basic AIFF loader (Apple Sound Format, only reads uncompressed AIFF but allows for importing CD tracks directly on OS X)
· Four new 8x8 fonts (thanks to idc and Rez)
· Set custom screen resolution
· Scrollbars in the list boxes dynamically show/hide depending on content (saves some space)
· Row preview with Shift Space
· Song Preview Alt Space
· Integrated disk browser (click "flip" in the disk operations panel)
· Sample editor got EQ filters now (3 and 10 bands)
· Sample editor got waveform generators for sine, square, triangle and sawtooth
· Solid scopes (ProTracker style, toggle in the config under the misc. tab)
· Pattern replay is a bit more like Ft2 now (switching to different pattern doesn't reset cursor to row 0)
· Clone button to clone the current order
· "Mix paste" in the sample editor: paste in a sample from the clipboard and get it mixed with the current selection/entire sample.
· As usually: more Ft2-compatible replay
· A severe volume ramping bug has been fixed
· Instrument auto vibrato ramp wave forms were swapped
· Fixed several issues in the replayer which were causing problems when using EDx and Mx and similiar combinations
· Orders containing pattern number FF vanished from modules saved from Ft2.
· Loading arbitrary files as samples adds the filename to the sample text.
· The y-axis in the sample editor was flipped (negative side was on the top).
· Toggling scopes in the config with the keyboard left the checkbox unaffected.
· Crash: A bug in the IFF reader crashes MilkyTracker when loading some IFF samples.
· Crash: After adding channels and saving as MOD.
· Saving MOD with extended octaves (5 instead of 3) produces results like FT2 now.
· Crash: (on Linux x86_64, strange behavior elsewhere): Caused by illegal 16-bit zero-length samples, as saved by Soundtracker.
· Crash: when loading modules without instruments.
· FREEZE: when zooming way in/loading LOOONG instrument envelopes.
· FREEZE (on Windows Vista): when initializing audio on startup.
· Assigning samples to notes in the instrument editor by clicking and holding (painting) doesn't have effect on C-0.
· Certain hot words in song titles cause incorrect module format detection (improved at least ;)).
· Clear button above sample box didn't work properly.
· Dxx on the last row of a pattern caused a display error when xx is greater than the number of rows on the current pattern.
· Insert silence screwed up 16 bit samples.
· Instrument panning settings defaulted to center on key-release when key-jamming.
· Optimizer functions "Minimize all samples" and "Samples to 8-bit" triggered one another when only one of them were selected.
· Selection block is truncated to current pattern length (you know, after being taller on a taller pattern).
· Several things like applying sample editor filters and using the optimizer reset global volume.
· Other things I can't remember
