Hi everybody,
I'm glad to announce the first pre-release of SoundTracker v1.0.1
You can download it here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/soundtracker/files/
I would say, v1.0.1 is a big step ahead from v1.0.0. It contains
numerous improvements everywhere and some important bugfixes, among
which I have fixed the annoying (at least for me) performance issue with
Gtk-2 bitmap graphics. Now SoundTracker is about so fast as old Gtk-1
variant.
Regards,
Yury.
