             History file for SmartPlay v3.1 by Xtreme Intelligence
            ========================================================

  The whole philosophy behind this program has changed  quite  a bit since
  the first versions of SmartPlay. The 1.0 version (6KB) released 92/10/03
  was a plain ST/NT/PT player, without any real userinterface. Since then,
  SmartPlay  has  been  totally re-written at least two times, got a quite
  advanced & configurable userinterface, and  many unique options has been
  invented. All suggestions  from  the  BETA  testers  and other users has
  made SmartPlay a quite small & powerful moduleplayer for the Amiga..


VERSION 3.1 - Rel. 930622:
==========================

        Program size:  35512 bytes > 7096+
         Source size: 134057 bytes > 27158+

  Since Last release: 90 days of hard(!) work..

- The outlook & userinterface is  once  again  really improved, and is now
  more logical to use. Unused functionbuttons will now be properly shaded.

- The Configuration window got  more  options, and a new outlook. Both the 
  ProgramList editor,  and  the  Configuration  windows  are  now  running 
  independently from the mainprogram.

- Small WorkBench support added. SmartPlay will not crash when loaded from
  WB anymore, and  will  handle  the WB messages properly. No tooltypes or
  stuff like that implemented yet (coming in v3.2).

- RandomPlay, DoubleBuffer and Fader modes added.

- A listwindow  containing  the  names of the samples were added on public
  demand. It is now accessible from the gadget containing the names of the
  modules, author, type etc. on the mainwindow.

- XPK support implemented, and the PowerPacker decruncher does now use the
  xpkmaster.library too.

- The fastmemory replaylibrary "SPlay_FAST.library" is now really improved
  and supports all CIA speed, and jump commands. All !PM! modules are also
  supported trough the new  fastlibrary. The  modules  are now loaded into
  fastmemory in the same way as to chipmemory,  loading  &  allocating the
  samples one by one into memory. The player will not need the 260KB chip-
  buffers for all  modules  played  trough  fastmemory anymore, so the new
  "Chip Save" mode should be quite useful even for daily use.

- (Octa)MED(Pro) MMD0/1 4c and IFF-SMUS files are now supported trough the
  two new replaylibraries, SPlay_OMED.library & SPlay_SMUS.library.

- Useful Auto-Flush mode added for the SPlay_xxxx. replaylibraries. If the 
  "Flush SPlay_Libs" Flag is set in the configuration, all  used libraries
  will be detached from the system, and all memory will be freed on exit.

- The Volume and Balance knobs  are  now  really  working in Realtime. The
  volume is now more logarithmic, and will  fade  the samples regarding to
  the default volume of the used sample. This makes the Volume gadget more
  useful as the  music  now  will sound the same, not loosing any samples,
  when set at low volume.

- The .PRG programfiles can now be  loaded  from the PLAY button as normal
  modules. This makes it easy to  create  programs containing modules from
  different paths, and get fast access to them right from  the mainwindow.
  Several  programfiles  may  be  linked  together  by  inserting  another
  programfile as the last entry in a program.

- A position indicator, showing the amount of played positions added.

- PS=PUBSCREEN/K argument added to commandline.

- Improved windowposition handling.

- ST/NT/PT SONG files will now be properly loaded. The ST15 inst. identify
  routine fixed.

- Minor bug in the ProTracker/NoiseTracker identify routine fixed.

- Errors on first module will now continue program properly if requested.

- Annoying bug with the modulelist scrollbar (290+ modules in one program)
  fixed.

- The  modulename  &  author information  should  not  disappear at random
  intervals anymore.

- The old ForceFilter option is now replaced by an automatic routine.

- End-Of-Module detection improved.

- Module/Author/Played/Type cyclegadget text updateroutine fixed.

- Borders will not disappear anymore at ZoomUp using the ZOOM gadget.

- Only the first gadget will be executed if there are multiple gadgets
  pressed before SmartPlay is ready to execute them all.

- ST/NT modules used to end up looping the first pattern - fixed.

- Fixed some bugs in the !PM! PowerMusic decoding.

- Memory handling improved.

- CIA interrupts will now set all bits correctly on startup.

- Some replaylibraries got more/new volume/position functions.

- The L+R mousebutton stop/next function improved

- Removed the crap-text typed in the CLI window on startup.

- "Old Config found.." requester improved.

- Many other bugs, and  bad Enforcer hits removed. This version should run
  much more stable than the previous ones.

- Phew..
