About 0.60f:

Camd.library v40.5 should now finally be included.
Please update, v40.4 has a couple of crash-bugs.


----------------

About 0.60e:

Seems like the previous "non-beta" amiga-release still had
some bugs. None of them was very serious, but rather
of the old annoying type. No new features in this
release, just bug-fixes.



----------------

About 0.60d:

First non-beta amiga-release. There are no known bugs for
the amiga-version. Please commit bug-reports.



----------------

About 0.60b:
Python at least v2.0 is required to make it start.
Uses some more memory than previous versions.
Lots of bugs have been removed.

----------------

About 0.56d:
Trying "All notes off" instead of "All sounds off" for midi-stop.
This is an experiment for a special synth, and might lead
to hanging notes. Next release will go back to using
"All sounds off".


----------------

About 0.56c:

Wrong type of midi signal was sent out when stopping all
sound. This at least made one Yamaha synth stopped working
after a while, and one had to reset it. Hopefully fixed now.


----------------

About 0.56:
There is some new graphics at the left of the editor showing
the tempo, that you may find annoying. Just clicking on it
will make it dissapear.


----------------


About 0.55d:
Program "freezes" for 20 seconds or so when copying/cuting in certain
situations is fixed.


----------------


About 0.55b:
Added the newest camd.library and mmp driver in
the extras directory. Please install them.

----------------

About 0.55:
Another release. See HISTORY.

----------------
About 0.54d:
Seems to be 2-3 times faster in WinUAE now. Probably a
lot faster for amigas with GFX cards too.

----------------
About 0.54c:
The menues should hopefully be free for typos.


----------------
About 0.54:
You need to install the new camd.library (V40) and the new mmp driver
before running. Midi in in WinUAE should work again.

---------------
About 0.53:
A potentional crash-bug while adding notes with the computer-keyboard
was removed.

------------------
About 0.52:
All previous versions seemed to allocate way to much gfx-memory.
Oops. Now hopefully fixed.

-----------------

About 0.51:
This one seems to be both stable, nice gfx, and quite fast
too compaired to all previous versions. Lots of bugs and potential
bugs have been removed. I hope there wont be to much trouble with
this version.

-----------------

About 0.50:
1. Could be important:
   If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Radium than 0.42,
   please delete the file radium:init.rad first.

3. The program seems to be working pretty fine. But there are some bugs.
   Some are just annoying, and can be worked around, and others are more
   dangerous. My advice for you is to generally save your song very
   often, and read the BUGS section of this manual.

4. If you can`t get the program to start; read the INSTALLATION part of
   this manual carefully. And if you still can`t make it work, send me
   an e-mail that contains:

   1. What happens when you try to run the program.
   2. The shell-output from Radium when you start it.
   3. Info about your machine (cpu, memory, midi-interface,
      OS and (if you have) gfx-card)
   4. (most important) A snoop-dos log with all reports turned ON.
      Snoop-dos is a program that logs the 
      calls to your dos.library, and can be found on the aminet. Most
      problems regarding startup-problems can be solved by looking at the
      snoop-dos log.

5. Songs saved with this version of Radium can not be loaded by previous
   versions. If you want to load a song made with 0.43 into either 
   V0.42 or V0.42NP, edit the songs manually in a text-editor. In the
   files, search for lines that contains "?reltempo". Remove all those
   lines, and all the lines that is right below.
   All the info about the blocks relative tempo have now been removed.
   (the info from the new slider at bottom-left)
   You must allso change the second line to "0.420000" instead of
   "0.430000".
