Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.1.20 and libmikmod 3.1.21:

========================================================================

libmikmod v3.1.21 was released on June 12, 2017.

- Fixed lots of possible crashes in the IT, XM, S3M, STM, STX, AMF, IMF,

GDM and MED module loaders.

- Fixed a possible endless loop in the IT loader with malformed files.

- Fixed signed integer overflow leading to crashes in the sample loader.

- Fixed the broken fixed-line comment reader which might possibly lead

to crashes, and also badly translated several song messages. The new

code is adapted from libopenmpt.

- Support for building the Windows version using Open Watcom compiler.

- A few minor OS/2 fixes.

- Other minor fixes/tidy-ups.

Thanks to:

- Lionel Debroux, for providing fuzz files which helped finding defects.

- Johannes Schultz (sagamusix), for allowing us to use a piece of code

from libopenmpt.

Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.1.19 and libmikmod 3.1.20

========================================================================

libmikmod v3.1.20 was released on 31-Aug-2016.

- Fixed windows builds when UNICODE is defined. (Thanks S. Michel).

- RAW file writer: Changed to use ansi stdio functions instead of

posix unistd, for better portability.

- Playercode: Allocate the right channel reverb buffers only if the

mixer is setup for stereo mode. (Helps with ports to memory-tight

platforms. Patch from Andrew Rossignol.)

- Added a configuration option to exclude the hqmixer (off by default.)

- Using locale-insensitive ctype.h and casecmp functions in library.

- Configury: New --disable-alldrv option to disable all of the audio

output drivers. If additional --enable-xxx options are given, the

specified drivers will be enabled.

- Other minor tidy-ups.

Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.1.18 and libmikmod 3.1.19

========================================================================

libmikmod v3.1.19 was released on 15-Nov-2015.

- Handle the FastTracker2 pattern loop (E60) bug. Modules abusing this

bug (roadblas.xm) should play correctly now. Thanks to Eugene Toder.

- AMF loader: Fixed segmentation fault in case of bad sample offsets in

broken files. (sf.net bug #26, thanks to 'Saga' of OpenMPT project for

the report and analysis.)

- AMF loader: Fixed loading of v10 files where sample loop start and end

values must be read as 32 bits, not 16 bits. (Tested with Maelcum's

"the tribal zone" and "the way its gonna b". Noticed in OpenMPT source)

- Fixed a possible undefined behavior in the XM loader.

- Support for OpenBSD sndio.

- Updated configury. The aix, hpux, bsd/sunaudio and sgi audio drivers

are now configurable and not built unconditionally. Haiku support

thanks to Jérôme Duval.

- Documentation update.

- Minor fix/tidy-ups.

Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.1.17 and libmikmod 3.1.18

- Fix some OS/2 bit rot. (for nostalgia...)

Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.1.16 and libmikmod 3.1.17

==========================================================================

libmikmod 3.1.17 was released on 20-Mar-2014.

This is a minor bugfix / maintenance release.

- ALSA and ESD drivers: Fixed a dlopen() issue.

- Configury, OSS driver: Removed useless check for /dev/sndstat

presence, added <soundcard.h> check to cover all our bases for

less common setups.

- Several configury and makefile clean-ups.

Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.1.15 and libmikmod 3.1.16

==========================================================================

libmikmod 3.1.16 was released on 05-Jan-2014.

This is a minor bugfix / maintenance release.

- Improved ALSA driver.

- mikmod.texi: Fixed document generation using newer texinfo.

- Updates and fixes to configury (autotools).

- Made the wav and raw file writer drivers configurable: the library

can be configured and compiled without any audio output drivers if

so required, except for drv_nos ('nosound') of course.

- Minor compilation fixes against ancient software versions.

- Backported pkg-config file and rpm spec file from HEAD branch.

Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.1.14 and libmikmod 3.1.15

==========================================================================

This is a minor bugfix / maintenance release.

- libmikmod.m4: fixed so that it works with C++ compilers.

- S3M loader: Enforce the 64000 bytes sample length limit, which has

been in effect since libmikmod-v3.1.10, only for tracker id 1, i.e.

only if setting the S3MIT_SCREAM flag during track conversion.

- ULT loader: Fix version array size (was 1 less then its initializer.)

- ESD driver: Fix signature for esd_playstream function pointer (const)

- ALSA driver: Remove unused function pointers.

Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.1.13 and libmikmod 3.1.14

==========================================================================

libmikmod 3.1.14 was released on 14-Oct-2013.

This is a minor bugfix / maintenance release.

- Fixed a small memory leak in samples freeing (thanks to S. Michel.)

- Fixed calling the previous position while at position 0 resulting

in an invalid read. (noticed while running mikmod under valgrind.)

- Fix return types for MREADER->Seek and MWRITER->Put to be int, and

not BOOL. (identical functionality but non-misleading.)

- Provided new Visual Studio 6 and Visual Studio 2005 project files.

The latter imports into newer Visual Studio versions, e.g. VS2012.

Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.1.12 and libmikmod 3.1.13

========================================================================

libmikmod-3.1.13 was released on 05-Oct-2013

This is a major bugfix / maintenance release.

BUGFIXES backported from the HEAD branch:

- 64 bit detection fixes.

- Fixes for CVE-2007-6720, CVE-2009-0179, CVE-2009-3995, CVE-2010-2546.

- Fix MikMod_strerror() might read beyond end of a static array.

- Fix looping volume in Player_SetVolume(), based on an old patch by

Yi-Huang Han.

- Fix "unclick" code to consider loop lengths shorter than 16: fixes

crashes seen with several xm files (sf.net bug #12, mpd bug #3425.)

- XM loader now reads songlength amount of orders from the file and

then seeks to mh->headersize+60 (sf.net bug #10.)

- A double driver registration fix.

- MikMod_InfoDriver and MikMod_InfoLoader list print fixes.

- Fix a possible crash on accessing the samples menu in mikmod.

- Fix wav file writer for big endian platforms.

- Fix wav file writer to output a correct rifflength in header.

CLEANUPS backported from the HEAD branch:

- Updated configury, proper support for cross-compilation, support for

building in a separate directory, support latest autotools.

- Fix BOOL type use all over the source.

- Multiple compiler warning fixes, other small cleanups.

PLATFORM SPECIFIC stuff backported from the HEAD branch:

- Linux: backport ALSA driver from HEAD branch to support contemporary

ALSA versions.

- Unix: ESD driver updates from Fedora, now require >= 0.2.18.

- Unix: minor OSS fixes.

- Windows: fixes/updates, win64 fully supported. MinGW[-w64] fully

supported along with MSVC and LCC. new standalone MinGW makefile with

cross-compilation support.

- Windows: dllexport/dllimport attributes work properly for MinGW[-w64],

as well as windows compilers. Static builds using MSVC, LCC, etc are

now named mikmod_static.lib. When compiling against static libmikmod,

MIKMOD_STATIC should be defined so that dllimport wouldn't be assumed.

- GCC elf and macho symbol visibility attributes now supported.

- Linux: the old Alsa-0.3.x/0.4.x driver is now retired. the source is

still in the drivers directory but not tested, nor will be maintained

any more.

- Linux: the old sam9407 and ultra drivers haven't been maintained for

quite some time and they now default to disabled in the configury.

the ultra driver had got an update in the 3.2.0 (libmikmod3) releases,

which won't be back merged to libmikmod2.

- Misc: the pipe and stdout drivers are now configurable.

Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.1.11-a and libmikmod 3.1.12

========================================================================

libmikmod-3.1.12 was released on 15/12/2007

This is bugfix release by denis111(keygenmusic).

BUGFIXES

- libmikmod no more hangs on loading XM modules with incorrect number of

instrumens.

- modules with more then 255 orders are now supported

Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.1.11 and libmikmod 3.1.11-a

========================================================================

libmikmod-3.1.11-a was released on 05/03/2004

Most of my work and attention goes on the 3.2.x series, but I still receive

occasional bug reports and patchs for the 3.1.11 version. There are not enough

changes to make a full release, but many people may find this patch useful.

BUGFIXES

- libmikmod playback now works correcly on amd64 (type size problem)

- fixed warning issued by automake >= 1.8

- config.sub and config.guess updated

Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.1.10 and libmikmod 3.1.11 (Thiers):

==========================================================================

libmikmod 3.1.11 was released on 01/21/2004.

This is a small maintenance release. I know there are not many changes,

but since it has been a very long time since the last one, and meanwhile

libmikmod changed maintainer, I think it is justified.

THANKS

- Ingo Saitz, the maintainer of the mikmod packages for debian, for

bugfixes.

- Frank Loemker, for the lcc-win32 stuff and fixes for the direct sound

driver.

BUGFIXES

- Playback problems in MODs of length >128. This fixes the file beatwave.mod. Thanks

to Emmanuel Coirier for pointing this out.

- Applied debian patches:

- Fix for broken volume fadeouts of IT instruments

- Fixed configure test for pthread

- devfs support for Linux OSS

- Makefile for lcc-win32. To compile libmikmod with lcc-win32 a rather new

version is needed. I currently use version 3.7 compiled on Jan 20 2002.

A version half a year old did not work. To compile

- check that you have the lcc bin directory in the PATH

(and no other compiler bin dirs),

- change to libmikmod-3.1.11/win32,

- check Makefile.lcc for any needed changes, and

- use make -f Makefile.lcc.

- Different fixes for the direct sound driver:

- Pausing did only work for half of the buffer.

- Restarting the player did not work as the output thread was removed

in DS_PlayStop().

- Removed busy waiting for end of thread.

- Sound output is started immediately on the first call to DS_Update()

to be consistent with other non threaded drivers.

- Different small clean ups.

- In MikMod_Reset() the raw output driver driver did not use the

filename set via the cmdline.

Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.1.9 and libmikmod 3.1.10 (Arlanc):

=========================================================================

libmikmod 3.1.10 was released on 01/24/2002.

This version is yet another bugfix release. I have more contributions coming,

especially a native MacOS X driver, that will not be present in 3.1.10 but

will be in 3.1.11.

THANKS

- Most of the bugs mentioned below have been squished by ``UFO'',

Holger Jakob, Thomas Neumann, Mark Page and Juan Linietsky.

BUGFIXES

- Systematic coredumps on library initialization and calls to

MikMod_InfoDriver have been eliminated. Sorry, and thanks to Shlomi

Fish for the best fix.

- The fix for spurious effect memory for portamentos in MOD files shouldn't

have been applied to the ``porta to note'' (effect 3) effect. Fixed in this

release. In the process, the aforementioned fix was perfected, as it

broke a few modules by accident.

- IT Panbrello effect with random wave did not work.

- IT Tempo slide (T0x, T1x) was not updated accurately, and the effect memory

was not implemented. The only tempo slide command which worked accurately

was T10, which is a no-op (-:

- IT effect SC0 (cut note with no delay) is now correctly interpreted as SC1.

- XM effect 6 (porta + volume slide) didn't have memory.

- ProTracker effect F (change speed or bpm) should now be correctly handled

when its value is 32, depending on the module type (some formats will use

it as a speed value, others as a bpm value).

- XM playback stopped when reaching pattern 255 in the order list.

- Corrupted envelopes in XM instruments are detected and some repair is

attempted.

- Some valid AMF, IMF and IT modules refused to load.

- Fine volume slide effects in volume column of IT modules, when using the

effect memory (i.e. A0 and B0) were misinterpreted as AF and BF, thus

causing unwanted large slides.

- Portamento to note effect in volume column of IT modules was not rendered

correctly.

- S3M files marked as created by ScreamTracker will honour the limit of 64000

bytes (not 64KB!) for sample length and sample offset effect position.

- Loops in instrument envelopes were processed one tick too fast.

- In-song message in FAR modules were not displayed correctly.

- ProTracker effect E9 (Retrig) was not played correctly.

NEW FEATURES

- Modules which are not panning-aware (not using any panning effects and

with the tracker's default panning) use a recentered panning, so as to

sound better with headphones. Suggested by Urpo Lankinen.

- Retrigger and panning effects are now recognized in FAR modules.

- All arpeggio effects are now played in OKT modules.

- FLT8 modules (8 channel StarTrekker) are now recognized and played.

PLATFORM SPECIFIC

- The Windows DirectSound driver has been improved and will use less

resources during playback.

- The native audio driver for NetBSD and OpenBSD should work better with

recent versions of these systems, as well as with old sound cards such

as the SoundBlaster Pro.

- Mac OS X is supported, although no native sound driver is available for

it yet, thanks to Juha Kaunisto.

- Dynamically loading drivers is now supported on HP-PA systems running

under HP-UX, as well on systems using the a.out binary file format.

Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.1.8 and libmikmod 3.1.9 (Vorey):

=======================================================================

libmikmod 3.1.9 was released on 02/14/2000.

This version is a bugfix release, and was primarily considered as a public

patch for 3.1.8 (namely, version 3.1.8-a). However, due to the very important

bug fix in XM playback, among other things, it's worth being 3.1.9...

THANKS

- Many thanks to ``UFO'', Thomas Neumann, James Kehl and Vito Caputo for their

help, code and feedback.

- Special thanks to Gerd Rausch, for writing both the Linux sam9407 driver and

the associated Mikmod driver. Nice work !

- Thanks to Bastien Nocera for letting me do some tests under Linux/PPC.

BUGFIXES

- Envelopes weren't loaded correctly for IMF and XM modules. In the average

case, the first envelope point was correct, the remaining half points were

bogus, and the other half completely random. This fix is definitely worth

the upgrade.

- In MOD files, effect 0xc (set channel volume) with effect parameter 0xff was

misplayed as a note cut.

- In MOD files too, effects 0x1, 0x2 and 0x3 (portamentos) with effect

parameter 0x00 were using the command memory, but these commands do not have

effect memory for MOD files.

- The Wuzamod check for STM modules wasn't present in 3.1.8, despite what the

release notes said )-:

- Enabling the envelope (with an effect) for a sample with no associated

envelope would cause immediate coredumps. Now fixed.

- Panning was ignored in GDM modules.

- Sample rate was incorrect for STM and STX modules.

- Arpeggio memory (for IT modules) was ignored.

- Tempo slide for IT modules was not processed correctly.

- Toggling surround sound didn't have effect until the driver was reset.

NEW FEATURES

- New loader for Amiga Oktalyzer (.OKT) modules.

- UNI loader recognizes recent APlayer modules (.APUN format level 0x104).

- Due to popular request, the function Player_LoadTitleFP() has been added to

the library.

- Under Unix systems, make targets "check" and "uninstall" have been added.

However, due to a bug in automake, "make uninstall" will only work correctly

with the next release of automake (or the current CVS tree).

- New output driver for sam9407-based soundcards under Linux, featuring

hardware playback.

PLATFORM SPECIFIC

- Support for the latest Linux Ultra driver development versions (2.99) has

been added. Also, a few bugs in this driver have been fixed.

- The DirectSound driver (win32) shipped with the previous release didn't

compile. It should now - at least things are better !

- The OSS driver from 3.1.8 didn't work very well with some versions of the

Linux kernel, as well as under Linux/PPC. The problems should be gone now.

Also, the OSS driver now handles multi-soundcard configurations.

Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.1.7 and libmikmod 3.1.8 (Tence):

=======================================================================

libmikmod 3.1.8 was released on 10/25/1999.

THANKS

- Many thanks (in no particular order) to Frank Loemker, Bjornar Henden, Joshua

Shagam, Vito Caputo, Thomas Neumann, Zach Metzinger, and Kevin Langman for

their help, code and feedback.

- Special thanks to Andrew Zabolotny for his huge work on the OS/2 drivers.

The rest of your code is not lost, it will go into 3.2...

BUGFIXES (more details can be found in file ``PROBLEMS'')

- IT global volume slide effect was played too fast.

- IT effect S6x (pattern delay for x ticks) was misunderstood as SEx (pattern

delay for x rows).

- Finetune effect was not handled correctly for some XM modules.

- Software mixer incorrectly produced extra clicks in interpolated mode (fix by

Frank Loemker).

- Under Unix systems, the piped output driver (drv_pipe), as well as the output

to file drivers (drv_raw, drv_wav) had security issues if the libmikmod

application is setuid root.

- Trying to read data from a file, with the data not located at offset 0,

didn't work correctly since 3.1.5.

- Almost any text file beginning with "if" was considered as a valid module by

Player_LoadTitle(), yet hopefully rejected when trying to load it.

- AMF effect 4 and variants lacked memory.

- IT modules featuring patterns with less than 32 rows could not be loaded.

- Some samples and effects in APlayer converted modules (.apun) were not played

correctly.

- Linefeeds in the song message in IT modules weren't loaded correctly.

NEW FEATURES

- IMF effect XE (ignore envelope) implemented.

- Support for uLaw output with the OSS driver, for Linux/sparc.

- Started to modularize semaphore usage when possible. The Player_LoadTitle()

function can be used while a module is playing without causing a short pause

in playback.

- STM modules with the Wuzamod signature can now be loaded.

- More ``slightly corrupted'' XM modules can be loaded.

PLATFORM SPECIFIC

- libmikmod 3.1.7 didn't compile out of the box under IRIX (sorry !)

- The EsounD driver didn't compile under Solaris

- Solaris driver forced playback to either headphone or speaker, instead of

using the current output setting as default. This is now fixed.

- Under SunOS 4, libmikmod should compile with the non-ansi C compiler bundled

by default.

- The ALSA driver now works with ALSA 0.4.

- The OSS driver should now work with Linux/ppc.

- Under OS/2, the MMPM/2 and DART driver have been almost rewritten by Andrew

Zabolotny and work much better. And they are now somewhat configurable, too.

- libmikmod 3.1.8 should work as a DLL under win32 environments. And the

non-directX driver is now registered in MikMod_RegisterAllDrivers().

Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.1.6 and libmikmod 3.1.7 (Sauxillanges):

==============================================================================

libmikmod 3.1.7 was released on 06/28/1999.

THANKS

- Anders Bjoerklund did a terrific job of creating a Macintosh driver !

I'm proud to add the MacOS to the list of supported systems.

- Bjornar Henden provided a non-directX driver for Windows NT users. This

makes libmikmod more portable than ever. Thanks a lot !

- Simon Hosie contributed speed optimizations and bug fixes to the software

mixer. Thanks for your work !

- Timo Taipalus pointed out several severe problems and helped me to get rid

of them. Thanks for your efforts !

BUGFIXES (more details can be found in file ``PROBLEMS'')

- Very long samples were truncated when played with the normal software

mixer.

- Invalid notes using non-existent instruments caused the current note to

be retrigged instead of being ignored.

- Porta to note effects did not restart the sample envelopes.

- Note cut with non empty volume column on the same row resulted in the note

cut being ignored.

- Disabling/enabling envelopes had no effect.

- 15 instrument modules embedding a ``Music Channel BBS'' ad were rejected.

- Huge (>64Kb) sample offsets were ignored with the hiqh quality mixer.

- Delay note effect was incorrectly converted to pattern jump, and porta to

note was incorrectly converted to tremor, for GDM modules.

- Dual effect Lxx in S3M and IT was misconverted to L00 (this bug was

introduced in 3.1.5-beta2, thanks to Timo Taipalus for noticing it)

- Pitch envelope was not played accurately (IT).

- XM modules in format 1.03 couldn't be loaded.

- XM modules with the tracker name empty made the library coredump on some

platforms.

- Set finetune effect (E5x) wasn't handled correctly for XM modules.

- Fine slides (X1x,X2x) didn't play correctly for XM modules (thanks to Frank

Loemker for reporting it).

- If the MikMod_InitThreads() function was called more than once, the library

did not behave correctly.

- Sample loops were not computed correctly for Oktalyzer modules.

NEW FEATURES

- Modules can be played with a speed shift (suggested by Roope Anttinnen).

- MikMod_Init() and MikMod_Reset() have been extended to pass specific

parameters to the drivers. This makes libmikmod 3.1.7 incompatible with the

previous versions, but updated libmikmod-based players will be released soon.

The shared library version has increased (now 2.0). This number scheme is

going to be as crazy as ncurses' one...

PLATFORM SPECIFIC

- It was not possible to create a multithreaded library on FreeBSD (fix by

Roope Anttinnen).

- HP-UX driver used to reset mixer settings at initialization.

- Added MacOS support, thanks to Anders Bjoerklund.

- Solaris driver now works on Solaris/Intel edition.

Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.1.5 and libmikmod 3.1.6 (Romegier):

==========================================================================

libmikmod 3.1.6 was released on 03/24/1999.

BUGFIXES

- When the library was built thread-safe, calls to Player_SetPosition

resulted in a deadlock.

- The OSS driver was too strict and didn't allow OSS to select a different

playback frequency.

- A volume bug has been removed from the module player (thanks to Thomas

Neumann for the report).

NEW FEATURES

- Volume ramping has been ported from the high quality mixer to the regular

mixer, and is enabled when interpolated mixing is requested. You should hear

less clicks in interpolated mode from now ! (Suggested by Bjornar Henden)

- The UNI loader recognizes APlayer format 1.3 modules.

PLATFORM SPECIFIC

- The NetBSD and OpenBSD driver should work with recent NetBSD and OpenBSD

versions.

- Some Windows code has been merged. Feedback will be appreciated. Note that,

as I don't have a windows development system (and no plan to have one in the

near future), I can't test or debug the Windows part myself.

Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.1.2 and libmikmod 3.1.5 (Pradelles):

===========================================================================

libmikmod 3.1.5 was released on 03/01/1999.

THANKS

- Many thanks to Lutz Roeder and Uwe Thoma, who send me the description of

the Imago Orpheus file format (IMF), as well as some of Imago's code, which

made the creation of the IMF loader a pure C exercise (-:

- Many thanks to Claudio Matsuoka, Tobias Gloth, C. Ray C. and Ben Collver for

their contributions and bug reports.

- Also big thanks to Jan Havelka for his help in tracking and fixing bugs.

- I almost forgot to thank Cedric Hebert for pointing out the gcc 2.x

optimization options bug !

- And as a last-minute add-on, Kev Vance submitted a GDM loader.

BUGFIXES

- The OSS driver used much more memory than necessary without reason.

- Samples longer than 1 Mb were not played correctly. However, the fix now

requires that your C compiler provides a 64 bit integer type. As a result,

libmikmod will not compile anymore on AIX with old versions of xlC.

- Samples with ping pong loops could make the library segfault on some rare

conditions. This bug was also present in MikIT and in the module plugin

of winamp, which are also based on old MikMod 3 sources...

- The sample loaders will now load samples with extra information blocks in

them, and has been made more robust.

- More checks to detect empty song messages.

- The song message loading routine was bugged and could make the library

coredump.

- AMF modules in formats 1.0, 1.2 and 1.3 couldn't be loaded.

- MED loader now loads instrument names and song message if they exist.

- More check have been added to the 15 instrument MOD loader to prevent it

from hanging on non-mod files ; let me know if you still experience

problems with it.

- STM loader rejected STM created by MOD2STM ; the last pattern was never

played ; also, in some STM modules the samples were not loaded correctly.

- XM modules in format 1.02 couldn't be loaded.

- Envelope sustain loops in XM modules were not processed correctly.

- Porta to note using the command memory used sometimes an incorrect value

when playing AMF, IT, S3M and ULT modules.

- Volume slides for IT (Dxx) and XM (Axx) modules didn't continue in the

background.

- Porta down effect in the volume column of IT modules was not played

correctly.

- Problems occuring when compiling libmikmod when an older version of libmikmod

is installed are now fixed.

DOCUMENTATION FIXES

- The documentation incorrectly referred to PAN_MIDDLE instead of PAN_CENTER.

NEW FEATURES

- On platforms that support POSIX.4 threads, the library is now thread-safe.

- Depending on your system's capabilities, ALSA and EsounD driver can now

be dynamically loaded when a libmikmod application is run, so if you built

your binary with the shared ALSA or EsounD libraries (which is the default),

it will run on other systems lacking those libraries.

- New loaders for GDM (General Digital Music), IMF (Imago Orpheus) and STX

(STMIK 0.2) modules.

- UNI loader is back, for those who need to play the ``Acid Tetris'' songs.

- S3M loader correctly identifies S3M modules created by Impulse Tracker

an Imago Orpheus.

- IT effect T (slide tempo) is now implemented.

- The driver for the Linux Ultrasound project (the ancestor of ALSA) is back,

too.

- The selection of the standard or high-quality software mixer is now made at

runtime.

- New interfaces Voice_Get{Frequency,Panning,Volume} and

Player_GetChannelPeriod (this one is for x11amp's MikMod plugin).

- Due to the addition of the new driver and loaders, library version has

increased.

PLATFORM SPECIFIC

- Compiling with gcc 2.x under Linux on x86 platforms performed aggressive

optimizations which had nasty interferences with the channel volumes on

some modules. Hopefully this is now fixed, so gcc users will get the same

sound quality as egcs users.

I apologize to everyone told me of this volume problem for the time it took

me to figure out where it came from.

Previous versions of libmikmod were bundled with the MikMod player ; refer to

its ``NEWS'' file for older changes information.
