VERSION 4.0
+ Added better process management through an overseer process.
+ The selector's fragment player does no longer hold on to the DSP device if not necessary.
+ Improved the dsp_none driver by avoiding the creation of new threads
+ Transformed all old Qt User Interface files (ui3->ui4)
+ Added a configuration useable for ubuntu (we hope)
+ Tap tempo measurement takes playrate into account instead of resetting it to the normal tempo
Bugs fixed
The problem that ALSA drivers
were not always closed before starting a player has been solved,
although it
is a problem deeply embedded in ALSA. and not related to BpmDj as such. (In practice whan a process forks off a
playing PCM handle, it has no way of releasing it. This has been reported to the ALSA developers.
Let's hope they deal with it in a sensible manner: E.g: assign some solid semantics to whether a PCM device
is or is not shared accross processes)
- starting the checkers on machines under heavy load could crash due
to an unpause of the dsp_none driver.
This was reported to xiph (local bug / remote message) but has so far been unacknowledged. Beware.Looking for
Beta
Testers to test the software while it is being
developed.
Packagers for slackware, debian, redhat, ubuntu, etcetera.
Both get access to the beta version before a new version is released.

The latest ogg decoder from vorbistools seem to write incomplete files.This was reported to xiph (local bug / remote message) but has so far been unacknowledged. Beware.
