From: Conrad Parker <conrad@metadecks.org>
Subject: Sweep 0.8.4 Released
Mon Aug 22 2005 -- Sweep 0.8.4 Released
=======================================
Sweep is an audio editor and live playback tool for GNU/Linux, BSD and
compatible systems. It supports many music and voice formats including
WAV, AIFF, Ogg Vorbis, Speex and MP3, with multichannel editing and
LADSPA effects plugins. Inside lives a pesky little virtual stylus called
Scrubby who enjoys mixing around in your files.
This release is available as a source tarball at:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sweep/sweep-0.8.4.tar.gz?download
New in this release
===================
This is maintainance release, including:
* updates for ALSA 1.0 (Daniel Dreschers, Charles Turner),
* a new Polish translation (Radoslaw Korzeniewski),
* an updated russian translation (Alex Prokoudine),
* a small fix to the German translation, and
* various minor tweaks and improvements.
Release plans
=============
This is likely to be the last Sweep release based on GTK+-1.2. Further
development will use GTK+-2.0 for the interface.
Over the last year, Peter Shorthose has developed a comprehensive set of
GTK+-2.0 patches for Sweep, and will handle their merging and ongoing
release management towards Sweep 1.0. Welcome Peter!
