Glame 0.6.4, the supposed-to-be last release in the 0.6 series, was
released today, Fri 22 Nov 2002, to the public. Leaked with this release
were some rare but still major bugfixes such as corruption problems on
import and redrawing problems within the filter canvas. The most prominent
new feature of this release is the added Italian localization.
You can download the release from our SourceForge project Files site at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1627
Give it a try!
Richard.
pleased to announce another ladspa unit - 'preamp'.
this plugin implements an amplitude response that has
been obtained from a spice simulation of the preamp
stage of a modified fender 5F4 instrument amplifier.

Mammut
*****************************
Mammut will FFT your sound in ONE single gigantic analysis (no windows).
An interesting aspect of Mammut is its completely non-intuitive sound
transformation approach. You must have a certain attitude when using this
program. Use it experimentally, by ear. Do not try to understand what
happens - even the programmer can't explain it in many cases.
New in V0.12 -> 0.13
-Updated the version number in the about dialog from 0.10 to 0.12
-Neither the Cancel nor OK button in the "Split real/imag" transform
dialog did work. Fixed.
-Unneded references to libaudiofile headers removed. libaudiofile is not
used in mammut.
-libsnd linking was screwed up in previous makefiles. Fixed.
-Playing without having a file caused a segfault. (not fixed)
-Added sndlib.a and sndlib.h to the distribution. Static oss/linux
compiled. (sndlib.a seems to be a bit troublesome to compile up
sometimes.) (same as in ceres)
-Added note about a common problem regarding pygtk in the INSTALL file
that usually makes ceres crash. (same as in ceres)
-Most of the transforms didnt support more than two channels (ie.
stereo, not fft-channels :). Now most of the transforms do, but still not
all.

Mammut
*****************************
Mammut will FFT your sound in one single gigantic analysis (no windows).
These spectral data, where the development in time is incorporated in
mysterious ways, may then be transformed by different algorithms prior to
resynthesis. An interesting aspect of Mammut is its completely
non-intuitive sound transformation approach.
New in V0.11 -> V0.12
-The "Number of partials" slider in the Synth transform dialog did
not work and gave a lot of errors. Fixed.
-Neither the Cancel nor OK button in the "Keep the peaks" transform dialog
did work. Fixed.
Ceres
****************************
Ceres is a program for displaying sonograms, sound
effects and editing in the frequency domain, import and export of various
(obscure) non-audio file-formats (csound, matlab, PBM, etc.).
New in Ceres 0.35 -> 0.36
-Removed a bug that caused the gain transform to not work very well.
-Added cut, copy and paste in the edit menu. Works the same as in Ceres3.
-Added general credits to Johnathan F. Lee (Ceres2) and Stanko Juzbasic
(Ceres3) in the about dialog. Some spesific credits are only
mentioned in the source.
-Added sndlib.a and sndlib.h to the distribution. Static oss/linux compiled.
(sndlib.a seems to be a bit troublesome to compile up sometimes.)
-Added note about a common problem regarding pygtk in the INSTALL file
that usually makes ceres crash.

GStreamer "Toes Wide Open" 0.4.2 released
The GStreamer team is happy to announce another release of the GStreamer
streaming-media framework. This release has mainly focused on code
clean-up and rounding out of the features. Large chunks of GStreamer are
API stable at this point.
You find source and binary download instructions here:
http://www.gstreamer.net/releases/0.4.2/
Our development currently focus on the following items:
* Increase stability and portability of scheduler
* Add more video editing specific plugins
* Improve plugins currently used by existing applications
* Create language bindings
We are starting to have a really nice collection of applications under
development using GStreamer. If you are looking for something specific
check out our applications status page at:
http://www.gstreamer.net/status/?category=2
Updates and Enhancements
General
* First release made of the Graphical Pipeline Editor, getting to be
very stable and well working (new maintainer needed).
* License field added to factory details field.
* Further work on Language bindings, with Web pages set up
describing them
* gst_caps_check_compatability -> gst_caps_is_always_compatible API
change.
* Designing interactive plugins architecture begun.
* Cleanups for SPEC files for use with Red Hat 8
* GConf keys provided and extended to set input sources
* Converted FAQ to docbook and added it to build
* use G_{BEGIN,END}_DECLS in core (plugins to follow)
Core
Plug-ins
* FLAC plugin updated to work with 1.0.4 release
* Metadata support and many fixes for Ogg Vorbis plugin
* Lots of fixes to v4l plugin
* New wavencoder plugin
* New shoutcast2 plugin
* Mad plugin now also collects id3 metadata
* Lots of minor fixes, code cleanups and updates for new versions of
underlying libraries.
* Video editing plugins added
* Snapshot plugin part of default build
* Major updates to v4l plugin
* Major updates to avimux plugin
* New Mpegmuxer plugin
* Many fixes to cdparanoia plugin
* Playback of SVCD fixed
* Moved generic gstplay library from gst-player into gst-plugins
* Added first cut of new ASF demuxer (still not working)
Known Issues
GStreamer currently ships with schedulers based on two cothread
packages. The 'omega' cothread package is the one we have been shipping
for a long time now and is still the default in this release. There are
however some limitations and thread-related bugs in the omega scheduler.
These limitations are not present in the 'wingo' schedulers, but
unfortunately it does not work with i686 glibc at this time due to
differences in the way threads are handled compared to other
architectures, including i386. A new (third) scheduler (that doesn't use
cothreads) is being developed.
As for the bugs in the 'omega' schedulers, we did not feel they
warranted not releasing 0.4.2 as they are rather obscure. For instance
if you are using Rhythmbox you will need to be playing over 500 songs
nonstop to trigger it. You can choose a different scheduler by passing
--scheduler=(name) to any GStreamer application.
Wim Taymans has started work on a new scheduler. The first part is
already in CVS, but it will probably still be some months before it is
ready.
GStreamer Homepage
More details on these features can be found on the project's website,
http://gstreamer.net/.
Support and Bugs
We use Gnome's Bugzilla for bug reports and feature requests. The
"product name" is GStreamer (capital G). Please do the following before
writing a bug report :
gst-feedback &> feedback 2>&1
and attach the file "feedback" to your bug report, so that we have some
information useful in the debugging process.
Developers
GStreamer is hosted on SourceForge. All code is in CVS and can be
checked out from there. Interested developers of the core library,
plug-ins, and applications should subscribe to the gstreamer-devel list.
If there is sufficient interest we will create more lists as necessary.
We are still looking for people with access to Solaris, HP-UX, Irix and
True64 that would be willing to try building and testing GStreamer.
Patches fixing such problems are also more than welcome.

Hi,
the development tree of the latest TiMidity++ was moved onto
sourceforge now.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/timidity/
there is a cvs branch, "R2_12_0_pre1b", which includes bunch of
enhancement patches. the patches sent on the timidity developer ML
(in japanese) are (occasionally) sync'ed with this tree.
also, an english mailling list was opened for non-japanese-speaking
developers and users:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/timidity-talk
hope many people have interest and join to this project.
ciao,
Takashi
