I'll look into it until next release, I promise ... * Rebuilt everything with an updated GG-cross build enviroment and using the new SDK for the MorphOS version. 2003-07-24 Martin Blom * Bugfixed the ix86be-amithlon version and removed that beta requester at startup. * Removed void.audio from default build, since it's just an example driver. * Changed TARGET in Makefiles to EXECUTABLE, since TARGET interferes with the AROS build environment. [Adam Chodorowski] * ahi.device: Most of the library function gates are now auto-generated. * Nuked files that are now auto-generated (FD and clib includes). * No separate SAS/C and Storm C files anymore. The proto and pragma files work for all compilers now. * The build process no longer uses fd2inline and fd2pragma. I switched to SFD files and sfdc instead. * emu10kx.audio: Don't build unless OpenPCI is found. * ahi.device: More embarrassing bugs fixed: Due to a type in the Makefile, the powerpc assembler optimized mixing routines were never included!! 2003-07-23 Martin Blom * ahi.device: The linear interpolation code was like totally fucked up when sounds were looping or joined. The test sine in the preferences program finally sounds ok at other frequencies than 48 kHz. * AHI: "Play a test sound" now plays a 16 bit sample instead of 8 bit, and it's always played at full volume. 2003-07-14 Martin Blom * Minor updates to the SFD files. 2003-07-13 Martin Blom * Added SFD files contributed by Steffen Haeuser to the developer archives. * Include/C/clib/ahi_(|sub_)protos.h: Added extern "C" if C++ detected. [Steffen Haeuser] 2003-07-07 Martin Blom * Released emu10kx.audio 5.6. * The EMU10kx CAMD driver is now part of the m68k build. 2003-07-06 Martin Blom * Released ahi.device 5.41. * ahi.device: Reworked the dynamic volume so that the master volume is scaled based on the number of device openers. Then, for each opener, each request is individually scaled based on the number of active requests. This way, different programs will not affect each other. 2003-07-05 Martin Blom * emu10kx.audio: The newly added CAMD init code would crash the driver would not load. * Released ahi.device 5.40. * ahi.device: Made a subtile change to the linear interpolation behaviour when a looped sound is played. Let's hope I made it better and not worse ... * Released AHI preferences 5.10. * AHI preferences: Added annotation to the properties box. * Released emu10kx.audio 5.5. * Released void.audio 5.5. * Released filesave.audio 5.2. * Drivers/Common/library.c: Fixed init code for MorphOS and Amithlon. * Drivers/Common/library.h: Added PROCGW macro to handle CreateNewProc() entry for all targets. 2003-07-04 Martin Blom * emu10kx.audio: Added CAMD support. * emu10kx: A CAMD driver that works with both V37.14 and V40.4 of camd.library. 2003-06-30 Martin Blom * Released ahi.device 5.39. * Resurrected the old m68k assembler version of the echo routines. 2003-06-23 Martin Blom * emu10kx.audio: Added protection against multiple calls to AHIsub_AllocAudio(). 2003-06-22 Martin Blom * Released emu10kx.audio 5.3. * emu10kx.audio: Ported to openpci.library. 2003-06-20 Martin Blom * Released emu10kx.audio 5.2. * emu10kx.audio: Ported to use the common driver architecture shared with void, filesave and now emu10kx. 2003-05-03 Martin Blom * Minor Makefile fixes for building in the the source tree. 2003-05-01 Martin Blom * Released ahi.device 5.38. * ahi.device: Fixed an interpolation bug in the mixing routines for 32 bit samples that appeared when 32 bit samples were used with other sample types. * The PlaySineEverywhere example now plays the sine using all available sample types (mono/stereo, 8/16/32 bits). It also slides the pan from the extreme left to the extreme right. 2003-04-30 Martin Blom * Added catalonian translations by Josep Subirats i Ferré. Thanks! 2003-04-29 Martin Blom * Released ahi.device 5.37. * The non-hifi audio modes are now assembler optimized in the m68k version. * Updated autodocs to say that V6 drivers do not need to preserve all registers in AHIsub_Disable()/AHIsub_Enable(). * Added ahiac_PreTimerFunc and ahiac_PostTimerFunc to AHIAudioCtrlDrv structure (available to V6 drivers only, of course). * When building the developer's archives, only relevant header files are included now. For example, only the m68k archive contains header files for SAS/C, Storm and assemblers. 2003-04-25 Martin Blom * Released ahi.device 5.36. * ahi.device: The dynamic volume code now assumes that each application will play at least one sound. (It's just a test.) * The m68k version is now compiled for 060 per default, but will still run on 020+ of course. 2003-04-24 Martin Blom * Released filesave.audio version 5.1. * Released ahi.device 5.35. * Released void.audio 5.4. * Added a new example: PlaySineEverywhere. * CloneAudioModes: Removed warnings when BPTR is a pointer. * ahi.device: The workaround for the m68k compiler bug introduced in ahi.device 5.25 assumed a big endian CPU. Now, the workaround is only applied when compiling for the m68k. * filesave.audio: Now endian aware. Avoided varargs in order to make it compile for AROS. * filesave.audio: Can now be compiled using gcc. 2003-04-23 Martin Blom * Released void.audio 5.3. * void.audio: Moved generic code parts to Drivers/Common, which can now be used by other drivers too. 2003-04-22 Martin Blom * Released void.audio 5.2. * Released AHI-Handler 5.2. * Released ahi.device 5.34. * Released AddAudioModes 5.4. * Released AHI preferences 5.9. * The endian update from 2003-04-17 broke all big endian targets. Fixed. * void.audio: This example driver can now be compiled using gcc and builds for all targets (m68k-amigaos, ppc-morphos, i?86be-amithlon and i386-aros). 2003-04-18 Martin Blom * AHI: If no mode is available, the "Play a test sound" button is disabled. 2003-04-17 Martin Blom * Ported AHI to AROS. * The device and preference program are now endian aware when reading IFF files. 2003-04-13 Martin Blom * ahi.device: For some weired reason I apparently disabled PreTimer()/PostTimer() support (aka the CPU overload protection) in version 5.29. Now it's enabled again. 2003-04-12 Martin Blom * Released ahi.device 5.33. * ahi.device: The audio mode requester now resizes to its minimum width if asked to open a smaller window. Before, it just failed to open. * ahi.device: The audio mode requester now uses the ASL preferences if available (requires asl.library V45 or later). [Todd A. Oberly] * ahi.device (AudioRequestA): AHIR_PrivateIDCMP is now honored even if AHIR_Screen or AHIR_PubScreenName is provided. * PlayTest: I finally fixed the bug that could make the example call DeleteIORequest() on a pointer obtained from AllocMem(). * Released ahi.device 5.32. * ahi.deivce: io_Actual is now valid even if a CMD_READ or CMD_WRITE request failed or was aborted. [Grzegorz Kraszewski] * ahi.doc: Don't mention io_Actual for CMD_STOP/CMD_START. * ahi.device: gw_IndexToFrequency in the MorphOS version now uses d0/a1 for arguments instead of the stack. [Patch from Harry Sintonen] * Released paula.audio 4.29. * paula.audio: Small cleanup here and there. [Patch from Harry Sintonen] * paula.audio: Library cleanup didn't free resources at failure. Fixed. [Patch from Harry Sintonen] * paula.audio: DMA playback did CloseDevice with a0 = p_TimerReq. Fixed. [Patch from Harry Sintonen] * ahi.device: Added new MOSSYS patches (MorphOS only) from Harry Sintonen. 2003-01-24 Martin Blom * ahiusr.texinfo: Updated the Acknowledgments chapter. Added Donors and Honourable mention sections. Updated my address. Updated the list of supported sound cards. 2003-01-23 Martin Blom * Limit lha compression method to lh6. * Now builds AHI-Handler for ppc-morphos too. 2003-01-22 Martin Blom * Docs: Now builds AutoDocs for ahi.device and drivers. * Released AHI-Handler 5.1. * Drivers: source code for a couple of drivers now included in bindist (ahidev.lha). * Examples: source code now included in bindist (ahidev.lha). 2003-01-20 Martin Blom * AHI-Handler: Now part of build tree, ported to gcc (m68k only!), GPL:ed and will no longer accept 24 bit AIFF/AIFC files (which AHI cannot play -- but 32 bit files are still accepted). 2003-01-19 Martin Blom * Released ahi.device 5.31. This is actually all I had in mind for V6 (except for a proper distribution with installation scripts etc, which I don't feel like doing anymore), so unless somebody complains, I'll bump the version to 6.0 and branch the source tree. Speak now or forever hold ... * Updated the User's and Developer's guides slightly (dynamic volume, AntiClickSamples, AHISF_NODELAY, 32 bit samples). * ahi.device: Device mode now automatically scales the volume to the number of playing requests. This means that you can now set the number of channels in the preferences program as high as you wish without getting annoyingly low volumes when playing just one audio stream. * ahi.device: Added support for playing 32 bit samples in both low-level and device mode. Note that 32 bit samples are truncated to 16 bit in non-HiFi modes and there are no assembly mixing routines for this sample format (yet?). [Aaf] * Updated copyright year in all files. 2002-12-14 Martin Blom * Released ahi.device 5.30. * ahi.device: Now looks into MOSSYS:DEVS/AudioModes and MOSSYS:DEVS/AHI in MorphOS build. [Harry Sintonen] * Released AddAudioModes 5.3. * AddAudioModes: Now looks into MOSSYS:DEVS/AudioModes in MorphOS build. [Harry Sintonen] 2002-11-20 Martin Blom * Released toccata.audio 4.6. * Drivers/Toccata/toccata.c: intAHIsub_GetAttr() could generate an enforcer hit if no card is present. [Sensei] 2002-10-16 Martin Blom * ahi.device/paula.audio: The distorsion bug reported by Sensei (see 2002-07-06) turned out not to be the 50 Hz bug. In fact, it turned out not to be a bug at all. It was just paula.audio that couldn't play at 44100 Hz and instead using 44336 Hz, causing AHI to resample all sounds that should play at 44100 Hz. Haha, I knew it. Not my fault, not my fault, not my fault!! (See the documentation for the AHIpaulaFakeMixFreq environmant variable for more information.) 2002-09-30 Martin Blom * Released ahi.device 5.29. 2002-07-08 Martin Blom * ahi.device: Did you know, by the way, that AttemptSemaphore() is not safe to call from interrupts? Oh, you did? Proves what a sad, miserable excuse for a developer I am. This bug has been there for about five years now ... [Nicolas Sallin] 2002-07-07 Martin Blom * Released AHI preferences 5.7. * AHI: No enforcer hits if no modes are available. [Don Cox] 2002-07-06 Martin Blom * Released AHI preferences 5.6. * AHI: Don't crash if no modes are available. [Don Cox] * [ahi.device: 5.25 IR] * ahi.device: The sample pointer would drift 1/(2^32) samples for each interrupt. No big deal, since it would take about 3 years until it actually caused a sample frame to be skipped, but a bug is a bug and deserves to die. * ahi.device: In addition to this, due to a (m68k) compiler bug, the sound would be *1.0* sample off for each interrupt. Ouch! This should fix that "50 Hz click bug" (50 Hz is the default buffer "size"). [Przemyslaw 'SENSEI' Gruchala, Bernd Roesch] * ahi.device: Removed checks for unused (since v5) speed-up flags (surround, echo and clipping). 2002-07-01 Martin Blom * Released emu10kx.audio 4.11. * emu10kx.audio: Set all active AC97 inputs to 0 dB at startup. 2002-05-28 Martin Blom * Released emu10kx.audio 4.10. 2002-05-25 Martin Blom * emu10kx.audio: Fixed the low PCM volume by using the full digital dynamic range. Set the default analog PCM mixer to 0 dB (was +6 dB). 2002-05-13 Martin Blom * Released emu10kx.audio 4.9. * emu10kx.audio: Reordered the recording sources so the "Mixer" comes first (ProStation Audio workaround). * emu10kx.audio: The microphone was unmuted by accident when the playback was stopped. 2002-05-12 Martin Blom * Released emu10kx.audio 4.8. * emu10kx.audio: Added code to handle recording and the selection of input sources. 2002-05-11 Martin Blom * AHI-Handler: Imported into CVS. * Examples: Added all developer examples to the CVS repository. 2002-03-17 Martin Blom * Released AHI preferences 5.5. * AHI: Disabled unused advanced options (anti-click time when using AHI v4, echo, surround and master volume when using AHI v5). 2002-02-27 Martin Blom * Released emu10kx.audio 4.6. * emu10kx.audio: Playback works. AC97 analog mixer initialized to reasonable defaults. I made it in time for AmiGBG 2002! :-) 2002-02-24 Martin Blom * Released AHI preferences 5.4. * AHI: Increased driver info buffers from 32 to 64 characters. 2002-02-15 Martin Blom * emu10kx.audio: Initial check-in. A header file is a good start, no? 2002-02-09 Martin Blom * toccata.audio: The CPU load check now also includes the PlayerFunc. 2002-01-20 Martin Blom * The '-s' flag is not used when stripping the binaries anymore. This way, the Amithlon binaries can be stripped too. * ahi.device: Say hello to the "Fast" modes again. This time, instead of being removed, they are added to the database but never returned by AHI_NextAudioID(), meaning that they will never show up in mode requesters etc. They are still available in AHI_AllocAudio(), though, and behave just like the "non-HiFi" modes: one multiplication/sample and no assembler optimization. 2002-01-06 Martin Blom * Released ahi.device 5.21. * ahi.device: Re-enabled optimization and removed all 64 bit kludges for the Amithlon version. It's still just using the C version of the mixing routines, but is already about 2.5 times faster native (compared to the JIT-compiled 4.180 version). I like it. * paula.audio: When opening timer.device (used in the DMA mode), I didn't clear the flags parameter and opened UNIT_MICROHZ instead of UNIT_ECLOCK. [Sigbjørn Skjæret] 2002-01-03 Martin Blom * toccata.library: Added LGPL license. * toccata.library: Applied the latest fixes I got from Teemu. * toccata.library: Imported the old emulation library to CVS. * toccata.audio: The PreTimer() and PostTimer() calls did not pass the required argument. * ahi.device: "elfloader.h" was included even when it's not used. 2002-01-02 Martin Blom * Updated the Hungarian catalogs. [Márton Dósa] 2001-12-29 Martin Blom * When cross-building, the wrong 'strip' was used on the binaries. 2001-12-22 Martin Blom * Added a note about AHIA_PlayerFunc in the autodocs. 2001-12-21 Martin Blom * Released AHI preferences 5.3. * Released ahi.device 5.20. * Added alpha support for Amithlon/native x86. Go ahead, try it, but do save your work first ... Then enjoy the fireworks! * Fixed some minor stuff in the AHI preferences so I can build native MorphOS/Amithlon versions of it. Why? Because I can. * The change in the mode file handling on 2001-07-29 seems to have made AHI_LoadModeFile() return failure if the argument was a directory. Now it always returns success in that case. 2001-12-19 Martin Blom * If the device's init routine failed, the device memory was not freed and the libraries that had been opened were not closed. * Tweaked some things so I can cross-compile better. * Rewrote the last m68k assembler-only file in C. Whoo... The MorphOS version is finally feature-complete. 2001-12-14 Martin Blom * Released AHI preferences 5.2. * AHI: It's now possible to test the selected audio mode by pressing the "Play a test sound" button. 2001-12-14 Martin Blom * Released ahi.device 5.19. * When adding an audio mode file, ahi.device now verifies that the driver can be opened before adding the modes to the database. If a driver refuses to load if its hardware is not present, the useless modes will thus not be added. Driver authors, feel free to make sure your drivers behave like this. 2001-12-13 Martin Blom * Released filesave.audio version 2.11. * filesave.audio: Added RIFF WAVE output. 2001-11-26 Martin Blom * ahi.device: Added a couple of validation checks for mode files. * Released AddAudioModes 5.2. * AddAudioModes: The REFRESH flag now removes the audio mode database before (re-) scanning DEVS:AudioModes for mode files. 2001-09-29 Martin Blom * Released ahi.device 5.17. * I tweaked the build environment somewhat: makedepend is out; gcc -MM is in, even in AmigaOS. "make all" now aborts on errors, as it should. All automatically generated files (version.h, localize.*) are now build before the dependencies are created. * ahi.device: Haha! I found the race condition in question! It was in AddWriter(), which assumed that no free channel automatically implied that PlayingList was non-empty. Not so! [Stephan Rupprecht and Harald Frank] * ahi.device: Fixed yet another potential race condition (in SoundFunc()). Sooner or later I *will* find the real one, won't I? * ahi.device: Fixed a bug in TermIO (ioreq->ahir_Extras is now set to NULL before its FreeVec'ed, not after). 2001-09-28 Martin Blom * Released paula.audio version 4.27. * paula.audio: I broke the DMA playback mode in the last update. Fixed now. [Sigbjørn Skjæret] 2001-09-24 Martin Blom * ahi.device: A missing 'break' statement made AbortIO() return IOERR_NOCMD on CMD_WRITE requests. * ahi.device: Fixed a non-fatal race condition in DevAbortIO(). It just made the source code look prettier ... :) Now if I could only find the one that makes AHI crash in AMIthlon ... 2001-09-16 Martin Blom * Released paula.audio version 4.26. * Released ahi.device 5.8. 2001-09-09 Martin Blom * paula.audio: The fixed CMD_STOP/CMD_START in ahi.device triggered a bug that could make the driver lose track of the AHIsub_Disable and AHIsub_Enable nesting. Also, these functions was not "thread safe" (they are not actually called from a thread but rather an interrupt). 2001-09-04 Martin Blom * ahi.device: Hopefully, CMD_STOP/CMD_START actually work now. * ahi.device: Fixed a dead-lock problem that could happen when more than one double-buffered sound was played using the device API. 2001-07-29 Martin Blom * ahi.device: If a file in Devs:AudioModes is not a legal mode file, the scanning code would just stop. Now, such errors are silently ignored. 2001-04-22 Martin Blom * ahi.device: When using a filter hook with the audio mode requester, and AHIR_DoDefaultMode was TRUE, the hook would receive AHI_INVALID_ID instead of the user-selected default mode ID. 2001-04-21 Martin Blom * Released ahi.device 5.7. * ahi.device The default PlayerFunc (which is used unless the application provides one) did not have an m68k wrapper when the device was compiled for ppc, making ReqAttack (and many other programs, I guess) crash. [Jaca/D-CAPS] 2001-04-12 Martin Blom * PAULA: Always use calibration tables for 14-bit output. 2001-03-29 Martin Blom * Released ahi.device 5.6. * ahi.device: Fixed a bug in the mixing routine that, when using "anti-click", caused notes to be lost in rare cases. Credits to Jaca/D-CAPS for spotting it and sending me an example that reproduced the bug! 2001-03-11 Martin Blom * Released ahi.device 5.5. * ahi.device: Nuked one more m68k assembler source file and moved the code to C. * ahi.device: Stopped using dprintf in MorphOS. 2001-03-04 Martin Blom * Released ahi.device 5.4. * ahi.device Fixed a bug that caused clicks on every new sound start, if an end-of-sound had been reached and the last sample in that sound was not 0. 2000-11-28 Martin Blom * Released AHI 5.1. * Last-minute bugfixing for AmigsOS 3.9 CD.
