AmigaOS 4: Audio editor Rave 1.8
Daniel "trixie" Jedlicka has released version 1.8 of his audio editor "Rave". To load and save audio files, the programme now uses the Linux library libsndfile, which was recently ported to an AmigaOS shared library by Jedlicka himself and was also released today. The changes in Rave 1.8 in detail:
- The program now uses sndfile.library (needs to be installed in LIBS:) for
sample loading and saving, instead of a custom module.
- Added support for Microsoft ADPCM compression in the loader and saver code.
- New function in the Edit menu: "Set selection", which allows making precise
selections based on user input or pre-defined ranges.
- The item "Extend selection" in the Edit menu has been renamed to "Modify
selection", and its submenu contains two new commands, "Halve" and "Double".
- Fixed the "Create new drawer" function in the file requester, which would
cause a lockup if the "Enter created drawer" option was selected.
- Fixed a small bug introduced in V1.7 which would leave certain menu commands
available even if no sample was loaded.
- Across all program components, reworked memory allocations to make them more
consistent and less error-prone.
- When loading the list of recently opened files, Rave now checks the list and
removes all items that are no longer available.
- In the file requester, the file name gadget wouldn't accept more than 127
characters; the limit has been increased to MAX_DOS_NAME (255 characters) to
support long file names in modern filesystems.
- Various other smaller improvements and fixes.
- Updated documentation.
