jackbeat (0.5.4) 
    * Added and clarified some error messages. 
      Thanks Paul Brossier <piem@altern.org>
    * Added Close and Quit menu entries
    * When launching several Jackbeats, there was a JACK client name conflict:
      fixed. Thanks Paul Brossier <piem@altern.org>

jackbeat (0.5.3) 

    * Added basic command line options 
    * Loading a jab or changing the resampler type stopped the playblack :
      fixed, the beat goes on. Thanks Remy Lalanne <lalanne.remy@wanadoo.fr>
    * The transport type setting wasn't saved : fixed. Thanks Remy
      Lalanne <lalanne.remy@wanadoo.fr>
    * When reading the sigsev handler message, users were likely to send the
      backtrace only: fixed that message. Hopefully they will now send the 
      whole console output.

jackbeat (0.5.2) 

    * Segfault when changing the pitch on a empty track : fixed, thanks
      Guillaume Pellerin (http://yomix.org)
    * The beats animation is very cpu-intensive : increased the refresh
      period to 1000 ms as a temporary workaround
    * The SIGSEV handler is not portable : now including it only when
      compiling on i386. Thanks Paul Brossier (http://piem.org)

 -- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier@xung.org>  Mon, 20 Jun 2005 00:08:24 +0200

jackbeat (0.5.1)

    * Added a SIGSEV handler to dump the backtrace to stdout on crash 
      (glibc's execinfo)
    * Samples filename extension were not correctly striped : fixed
    * Not writing the resampler type into jab files anymore : this setting
      belongs exclusively to the rc file
    * wrote a lightweight basic resampler : greatly reduces the cpu load, 
      performing about 5 times faster than libsamplerate's linear converter

 -- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier@xung.org>  Wed, 18 May 2005 20:24:49 +0200

jackbeat (0.5.0)

    * Added pitch and volume controls
    * Rewrote the sample history
    * Masking beats might produce clicks : added an attack/release envelope
    * Now converting sample rate in realtime instead of doing it when
      loading a sample
    * The song was not marked as modified when (un)muting a track, neither
      when enabling/disabling a mask : fixed
    * Muting/unmuting a track is now wrapped by a an attack/release envelope
      (as masking) to avoid clicks
    * Sometimes tryed to highlight an unexistent beat, segfault'ing : fixed 
    * Added standalone Mute buttons.
    * Changed the "Play" button into Play and Pause icons
    * Added a Rewind button
    * Now require GTK >= 2.6 (was >= 2.0)
    * Added an option to select the converter type to be used by libsamplerate
    * Fixed a bug with the XML description generation : float numbers (bpm, 
      pitch, volume, etc..) were written in a locale-sensitive manner, which 
      either wrote points or commas. Now always using the C locale internally.
    * Added a volume "transposer" feature : acts as a pseudo-master,
      transposing all tracks volumes by a given percentage
    * New "Smoothing" feature : a sample starting over itself might produce a
      click. This feature uses a short envelope to kindly stop the sample 
      before its gets started again.  It is enabled by default on all tracks.

 -- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier@xung.org>  Tue,  3 May 2005 15:52:31 +0200

jackbeat (0.4.3)

    * New track-masking feature : allows to insert silences into a track, as 
      requested by Guillaume Pellerin (http://yomix.org)
    * When loading the same sample on several tracks, these tracks were
      automatically assigned identical names, which caused Jack ports to 
      conflict : a dialog now opens, asking for an alternate name. Additionally, 
      it is possible to rename tracks at any time
    * Serious bug which left temporary data into /tmp everytime a jab file was
      loaded, including extracted sample files : corrected
    * And a few cosmetic fixes

 -- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier@xung.org>  Tue, 12 Apr 2005 22:20:23 +0200
 
jackbeat (0.4.2)

    * Support for sample rate conversion when loading samples, to match 
      Jack's framerate : added, using libsamplerate's best converter
    * Progress bars when loading/saving samples/sequences : added, in a modal
      window
    * Some variables names in sample loading routines were obscure : clarified
    * Unused samples were not cleant up : fixed, now freeing associated memory
    * With Jack already rolling, lauching Jackbeat produced some noise : fixed
    * Muting/unmuting a track often failed due to an IPC bug : squashed

 -- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier@xung.org>  Wed, 30 Mar 2005 19:51:02 +0200

jackbeat (0.4.1)

    * Tracks/beats spin buttons where randomly stepping by 1 or 2 : fixed
    * gcc was passed the -g option by default : suppressed. The binary size 
      droped from 530 to 80 kb. For debugging informations, run 
      "export CFLAGS=-g" before "./configure"

 -- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier@xung.org>  Wed, 16 Mar 2005 18:33:53 +0100

jackbeat (0.4.0)

    * When unsetting the active beat on a given track, the sample continued 
      playing. With an empty track, a long sample would then play entirely, 
      which is quite pointless : Unsetting an active beat now stops the track
    * New "Double" feature : duplicate the sequence, copying beats
    * Pattern nesting code was a nightmare : wiped out
    * .jackbeat directory was not properly created : fixed
    * Freeing unallocated pointers at shutdown : fixed
    * Samples working directory wasn't saved at shutdown : fixed
    * README file : corrected and updated
      
 -- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier@xung.org>  Fri,  4 Mar 2005 15:05:16 +0100

jackbeat (0.3.3)

    * Looping couldn't be turned off : fixed
    * Experimental code for pattern nesting is very krash-prone : hidden until
    it gets better

 -- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier@xung.org>  Sun, 20 Feb 2005 20:09:42 +0100

jackbeat (0.3.2)

    * Loading and saving song got rewritten : a new format is now implemented.
      It stores metadata in an XML file, and samples as separate files in
      a subdirectory. All that is then packed in a tar archive. 
    * The above feature adds a new requirement : libxml2 (http://xmlsoft.org)
    
 -- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier@xung.org>  Wed,  6 Oct 2004 01:10:27 +0200

jackbeat (0.3.1)

    * ftok() was passed the content of argv[0] (program name) as pathname.
      That easily failed : fixed. Thanks Leito <leito69@yahoo.com>

 -- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier@xung.org>  Fri, 20 Aug 2004 14:17:18 +0200

jackbeat (0.3.0)

    * Note : This is a fork from version 0.2, so it does not include the
      bugfixes of the subsequent 0.2 serie (0.2.1,  ...). 80% of 
      the code has been rewritten, so changes are countless. I won't
      enumerate them in here. This version is a development release,
      with (enjoy ;-) broken features and high unstability.
    * TODO file : that is the main new feature :-) Please contribute.  
    * Improved the visual effect while playing : now beats are highlighted
      according to the sample duration
   
 -- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier@xung.org>  Mon, 16 Aug 2004 21:08:02 +0200
 
jackbeat (0.2)

    * The first frames of samples where almost never played : fixed
    * Added support for JACK transport control (start, stop, and frame position)
    * While playing, loading a sample always caused it to be played once:fixed
    * Added a highlight effect to follow the sequence progress
    * Changing the bpm rate when playing sometimes resulted in a
      segfault : fixed
      
 -- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier@xung.org>  Sat, 26 Jun 2004 15:11:44 +0200

jackbeat (0.1)

    * Initial release

 -- Olivier Guilyardi <olivier@xung.org>  Thu, 24 Jun 2004 01:49:04 +0200
