Version 0.2e of TiMidity has been released.

TiMidity is a MIDI to WAVE converter that uses Gravis Ultrasound
compatible patch files to generate digital audio data from General MIDI
files. The audio data can be played through any sound device or stored on
disk. On a fast machine, music can be played in real time. TiMidity runs
under Linux, FreeBSD, HP-UX, and SunOS, and porting to other systems with
gcc should be easy.

TiMidity Features:

	* 32 or more dynamically allocated fully independent voices
	* Compatibility with GUS patch files
	* Output to 16- or 8-bit PCM or uLaw audio device, file, or
          stdout at any sampling rate
	* Interactive mode with real-time status display
	* Support for transparent loading of compressed MIDI files and
	  patch files

	* Support for the following MIDI events:
	  - Program change
	  - Key pressure
	  - Channel main volume
	  - Tempo
	  - Panning
	  - Damper pedal (Sustain)
	  - Pitch wheel
	  - Pitch wheel sensitivity
	  - Change drum set

Version 0.2e offers many enhancements over earlier versions, including
tremolo and vibrato processing, a S-Lang full screen interface, speedups,
slowdowns, and new, exciting bugs.

Version 0.2e is available at
