Version 0.3.3, released 06 May 1998
This release is made by Martin Mueller (mm@lunetix.de).
Please direct any comments concerning this release to me
and not to Bjarni.
Bjarni is working on a redesign og kmpg, and I'm releasing this
version with kind permission of Bjarni as an interim solution for
those folks, that traded in their CD-Player for a harddisk. ;-)
- adapted to compile with KDE Beta4 with patches from
Karsten Fischer (karsten.fischer@pro-sieben.de), Martin Vogt (m_vogt@informatik.uni-kl.de),
Michael Vogt (mvogt@acm.org). I hope I forgot nobody.
- added shuffle button by Ben Jemia Haykel (Haykel@cs.tu-berlin.de)
- bugfix for nonexisting files by Jamus Jegier (jamus@bigfoot.com)
- added ability to accept directories and playlists as droptarget
by John Knottenbelt (jak97@doc.ic.ac.uk)
- fixes to John's patches to cope with filenames, that contain more
than one dot.
- updated mpeg decoder to mpg123-0.59m
- mono support is still not working (and won't get fixed in the 0.3.x series)
Version 0.3.2, released 25 Nov 1997
This release is made by Martin Mueller (mm@lunetix.de).

Bjarni is working on a redesign og kmpg, and I'm releasing this
version with kind permission of Bjarni as an interim solution for
those folks, that traded in their CD-Player for a harddisk. ;-)
- adapted to KIconLoader and KDE Filesystem Standard by Stefan Markgraf (icetoaster@geocities.com)
- drag and drop for playlist editor
- made repeat "feature" of playlist configurable
- added "MimeType=" to *.kdelnk files
- updated mpeg decoder
- added abillity to resync on errors in mpeg-stream
- made Playlist-open, -save and -add function open ~/.kde/share/apps/kmpg
and create it when neccessary
Version 0.3.0, released 20 Jul 1997
- Decided to use mpg123 instead of maplay for the decoder. This makes the player half as CPU demanding and also adds downsampling and downmixing options. In addition to this mpg123 also supports MPEG2 and MPEG2.5 (partially) which the maplay decoder doesn't. This also means that the player is now called kmpg instead of kmaplay
- Total redesign of interface, the interface is now smaller than before but still presents a lot more information.
- Changes to the preference dialog to allow the user to fiddle with all the options of mpg123. All changes can be applied while playing a stream.
- Decided to use three levels in the version numbers. 0.3.0 instead of just 0.3
- Introduced a lot of bugs when integrating mpg123 with the interface :-)
- Restructured the documentation into a handbook format.
- Enhanced the playlist editor. Can now save/load/edit playlists.
Verison 0.2
- Total rewrite of soundcard routines, now uses two processes with a shared memory segment. The buffer is fixed at 176400 bytes (1 sec at 44.1Khz 16 bit, stereo). This means the player is less sensitive to cpu load. The code is still pretty messy, will clean it up in the next release.
- Fixed a nasty bug which caused segfaults in KMaplay::KMaplay.
- Added a preferences dialog.
- Added a stream information dialog.
- Introduced a lot of bugs :-)
- Scrapped the toolbar and use a menubar instead.
- KMaplay is now almost 100% KDE compliant
Version 0.1
- First release
- Initial version of playlist editor
- Fixed memory leaks in player.
