Doggiebox news, and 1A7 (1.0g) now online!

Greetings all, I am pleased to announce Doggiebox build 1A7, hopefully the last build in the "pre-release" series! You'll notice a bit of a revamped look in this one; here are what's new and changed: - At long last, there are document icons! Many thanks to Scott Bremner for graphic design. - The preferences dialog has been revamped, with several new options. - There is now support for multi-line bar layout, with a user- specified number of bars per line. - It is now possible to choose whether to create a new untitled song on startup. - It is now possible to disable the playback position indicator. - The behaviour of selection highlighting and the insertion point has been changed slightly, to more closely match the behaviour of a text editor: when one or more bars are selected, the insertion point disappears. - Added recognition for AIFF sound files ending in ".aif" (in addition to ".aiff"). - The drum kit editor will now post an alert when trying to import a sound of an unsuitable sample rate. - Drums are now assigned a default sound and icon in the absence of any being defined in the drum kit editor. - Fixed bug where drum sounds would not play back when auditioned in the drum kit editor. - Registration key system introduced, along with a revised About box and application icon. Download now from http://www.zygoat.ca/products/doggiebox/download.php Please note that this one is distributed as an Installer package, which you should be able to double-click to automatically install into your / Applications (or wherever) folder. If you run into any problems with it, please let me know. As usual, all problem reports and feature suggestions are welcome, particularly to this mailing list; if all goes well, we will announce the "1.0 final" next week. Late last fall we ran a short survey of Doggiebox users, and all respondents were eligible to be randomly chosen to win free Doggiebox licences. The response was great and we drew five names at random from the database; congratulations to: Rob Hunter (San Diego, CA, USA) Paul Norman (Cambridge, MA, USA) Robert Koble (Clifton, NJ, USA) Etienne Beaupré (Montreal, QC, Canada) Gavin Mahan (San Diego, CA, USA) Thank you to everyone who provided feedback! -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
