* New in version 0.2.1 (9 Aug 2026)

** The current playback location is now correctly updated
Especially with larger latencies the location is no more in the
future.

** Icon source files are included in the distribution
Previously icon data were binary blobs, which is incompatible with the
GPL.  See the README file for details.

** More controlled playback
Playback delays when switching between samples should be now more
consistent.

* New in version 0.2 (24 Aug 2025)

With respect to possible bugs, the same note as for 0.2-b0 below still
applies.  Please report any problems to petterih@iki.fi.

** The current playback position indicator has a variable precision
During playback the position indicator has now one second precision,
which is consistent with the position update rate.  When seeking with
the mouse the indicator has two digits of precision.  This allows
seeking to sub-second positions.

** Follow symbolic links when opening sample files

** Additional shortcut keys for playback
Playback and markers can be controlled from the keyboard with certain
key presses.  See the web site for details.  Mnemonics with Alt-key
work as before, too.

* New in version 0.2-b0 (20 Feb 2025)

Please note that this is a "beta" version with lots of changes
compared to the previous version.  So, unfortunately, you can expect
bugs and glitches.  Should you encounter any, please report them to
petterih@iki.fi.

** User interface has been changed to use GTK version 3
- Mouse wheel and keyboard can be used for seeking.
- Improved error reporting and diagnostics.
- Markers are displayed with two digit precision and p-value with
  three significant digits.
- The selected marker is automatically deselected after manual
  seeking.
- A confirmation is asked before exiting the program, if there is a
  test in progress.
- The interface is now modal and (hopefully) less confusing.

** New command line option for listing output devices
Add -D (--list-devices) option to command line to list available
output devices.

** More lenient sound file format support
abx can now open any format supported by libsndfile: it is no more
restricted to PCM data.  For example, Ogg Vorbis, Opus and MP3 files
can be used without converting them to PCM first.

** Samples can have different durations
There are legitimate cases where samples have a slight difference in
duration.  Therefore the duration comparison is now approximate:
samples that differ more than 10 ms in duration are flagged, and even
in those cases it is up to the user to decide whether testing makes
sense or not.

** Latency improvements
The default output latency is queried from PortAudio and used unless
specified otherwise.

* New in version 0.1 (15 December 2016)

** Greatly simplified playback infrastructure
Only one audio output is used at a time.

** New command line option for latency
Use -l (or --latency) for controlling the (suggested) output latency.
Try to increase latency if you have sound playback issues, like
clicking or stuttering.

** Confirm before test reset
A confirmation is asked whenever a new test would replace an existing
test in progress.

** Some minor user interface improvements in sizing and padding

* New in version 0.0-b1 (26 October 2010)

** GNU Autoconf support for automatic configuration and building

** Marker list is cleared after a test has been completed
