Yall,

New build at http://www.doggiebox.com/distribution/Doggiebox-1E13.tbz What's new:

- Select All now selects full bars instead of beat subdivisions. - When changing an existing drum to a different variant, the current velocity is preserved. - Time signature is now editable via keyboard in the inspector.

Okay, it's about time 1.3 is kicked out to the world. So here's the plan. I am going to update the documentation as a next step, and hope to announce the release by the end of next week. After that point, I want to branch the code tree and begin working more aggressively with larger changes for an eventual 2.0 release.

While you're reading this, I'd appreciate if you would answer an extremely-short three-question survey at to help me get an idea of current Doggiebox usage patterns. Please visit http:// www.doggiebox.com/beta/febquest.php; it should take you about five seconds. :)

In the Chinese calendar, 2006 is the Year of the Dog. I'm hoping that some renewed enthusiasm will see through some faster progress.
