uade 0.80-pre1 released
Re: uade 0.80-pre1 released
No it hasn't, 0.80-pre1 has been released. I just downloaded it today and nearly wet myself when I saw this notice -- another release within a day? But no. Anyway, good job done boys! It's really come on leaps and bounds since 0.73 (the last version that anyone bothered to package for debian). 0.73 wouldn't even play prorunner tunes and complained a lot about uaerc being missing. And of course it's good at decrunching powerpacked filesshd wrote:uade 0.81-pre1 has been released.

Sorry about that. At least I got the subject of the posting correct;)

This is very odd since:
- uade has played prorunner songs for a very long time: uade 0.30 has that support (released at 2001.08.18): 0.73 plays prorunner songs just fine
- we have not modified prorunner support since 0.73
- we don't have a clue how you have 'lost' uaerc if you have followed installation instructions in INSTALL file.. Furthermore, we haven't had bug reports about that
- we have not changed installation procedures since 0.73
Why didn't you report these problems when 0.73 was released?-)
I can think of situations where prorunner isn't recognized properly. It depends a lot on the configuration you have, and if the songs are packed. Consider these:
- have songs unpacked (packed songs are pain in the ass for many reasons)
- wipe out configuration settings from previous uade versions by editing ~/.xmms/config and remove the uade section: configurations of uade versions are forward compatible as far as I know but earlier settings may not be good for later versions
- see how settings have changed in 0.80-pre1. Settings in 0.80-pre1 reflect more of those settings we the developers use.
Playing of these sound formats is a very tricky thing, so we have a lot of configurable things in our program. Some good features are turned off because users wouldn't expect such behaviour from the program. Forget clean, simple and perfect world, this is the real world where every level is messy.
PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS with uade, let us know so we can try to fix those issues. BUG & PROBLEM reports are very important. The more you report bugs & problems the better;)
