Howdy folks! The newest version of Specimen is available for immediate download from www.gazuga.net (direct: http://www.gazuga.net/specimen-0.2.9.tar.gz). Features include: * A piano for graphically asigning note ranges * A very happenin' bank building interface that uses an embedded File Chooser (gtk+-2.4 required for this) * LASH/LADCCA support * Extensive repairs, most notably to the waveform display (it's alias- free) and the panning code (it works). * A completely revamped audio rendering system * Sundry cleanups and fixes Many thanks to Loki Davison, the new and official co-developer, for his fabulous contributions to this release, and for bitch-slapping me into getting back to work on this code (rather than piddling around with vaporware). Stay tuned for more...
