SingIt 0.1.18 (2002-02-26)

    * Moved config file from .xmms/config -> .xmms/config-singit
      (To preserve your config simply _copy_  .xmms/config -> .xmms/config-singit)
    * Changed editor keyhandling
      Works with Num-Lock / Caps-Lock (= Shift !)
    * Changed song structure checks
    * No more OpenGL errors when OpenGL isn't supported by XFree
    * Fixed some OpenGL bugs - still segfaulting (in NVidia symbols :-(
    * Made home install useable again
    * Rewritten config system - now using GtkObject
    * Support for song position relative lyrics (~~)
    * Totally new configure setup
    * Started new debug system (level based to prevent message flows)
    * Created new editor icons
    * Higher editor accuracy for clicks (clist + sync)
      Patch from Dino Leonardo Sangoi

SingIt 0.1.17 (2002-02-10)

    * New editor funtion - nice text
    * Remove sleep from display thread (config option)
    * Overall cleanups

SingIt 0.1.16 (2001-12-20)

    * Rewritten main thread handling
    * Rewritten karaoke widget
    * Every plugin adapted to new thread code
    * Correct localization handling
    * Improved OpenGL plugin
    * Splitted refresh (visual) and check (file) code into different threads
      (Much less GDK / GTK hickup)

SingIt 0.1.15 (2001-06-30)

    * Many multi-threaded cleanups
      - hopefully no more crashs by out of sync
    * Rearranged the editor
    * OpenGL plugin still crashes....

SingIt 0.1.14 (2001-06-07)

    * Switched from g_timeout to pthreads
      (hopefully everything is thread-safe now)
    * Implemented correct karaoke widget class (old one secfaulted with pthreads)
    * Some work on the OpenGL displayer (still unuseable...)

SingIt 0.1.13 (2001-05-22)

    * Plugin support
      (every displayer has its own lib like xmms plugins)
      Supported plugins:
      - Karaoke window (old main window)
      - Navigation window (old navigation window)
      - Fullscreen (!new!)
      - OpenGL (!new - switch in configure!)
    * New editor mode (just visual - no logic so far)
    * Code cleanups (karaoke widget / editor)

SingIt 0.1.12 (2001-04-29)

    * New filenames and internal structures
    * Moved old "clist"-karaoke widget into another window
        - its now a kind of navigator
    * New drawing code for the karaoke widget
    * New debug code (enable it inside the plugin config)
    	- it's still possible to drop the whole debug code from the plugin
    * Updated to libtool 1.4

SingIt 0.1.11 (2001-02-18)

    * Time offset changer (has anyone a better description...?)
      Expl. Select some lines in the editor containing tags. Then hit "Change time of selection".
      A box with a spinbox appears. Enter the time you want to add (- = sub) to the selection.
    * First version of a jumping ball...

SingIt 0.1.10 (2001-02-04)

    * Check consistency of sync lyrics in editor
      (! This doesn't work right with multiple start tags in a lyric file !)

SingIt 0.1.9 (2001-01-30)

    * New main window "set messages" code
    * Lots of code cleanups
      (lots of complicated code from the beginning of the development...)
    * Editor text should be consistent so strip html and timetags should work in both modes
    * Use a semaphore per song (should make access more secure...)
    * Use real song structure much less - use secure attached songs
    * Disabled HTML-Exporter page, since old export modes don't work with sync lyrics
      (Just a default one left... thinking of DHTML, CCS... )

SingIt 0.1.8 (2001-01-16)

    * Just bugfixes

SingIt 0.1.7 (2001-01-15)

    * Changed file change recognization again (still not perfect)
    * Rewrote the whole karaoke widget two times
      (first for better synchronization,
       second to remove horrible flickering - now it uses pixmaps)
    * Simplyfied synchronization between scroll list (clist) and karaoke widget
    * Rewritten lyrics scan code (better for editor)
    * Working color support for my karaoke widget ;-)
    * Rewritten much clearer line selection code for list widget
      (singit_main.c - set_new_clist_lyric_line)
    * See new lyrics sample - synchronized (Mel_C._-_I_Turn_To_You.txt)

SingIt 0.1.6 (2000-12-15)

    * Changed file change recognization because old one paralyzed xmms when changeing
      current song position in the playlist
    * Some more development on the karaoke widget (synchronization with text)
    * Ooops - corrected the extended timetags should be [MM:SS:III] not [MM:SS:IIII]
      because the range for milliseconds is from 0-999 ???;-)
      (Old extended one isn't supported anymore !!!)

SingIt 0.1.5 (2000-12-06)

    * Some little development on the karaoke widget
    * Hopefully removed all problems for people without libid3
      (undeclared the whole file -> much easier (more strict, simple but good ;-))
    * Adjustment for "reaction time" - this solution makes it easier to set
      correct extended timetags (current time from xmms - reaction time))
    * Update of the main code for better karaoke widget support

SingIt 0.1.4 (2000-11-20)

    * Implemented id3v1 tag reading functions
    * Should scan id3v2 lyric tags correctly (not tested)
    * Improved support for synchronous lyrics
    * Multiple directories for the lyrics (private / global / ...)
    * Multiple extensions (std: txt, tag)
    * New dialog to edit comma seperated entries
    * Inserted more "#ifdef HAVE_ID3" blocks - should compile without id3lib again
    * Extended Tag-Format to [MM:SS:IIII] Minute / Second / Millisecond
      (The old format is - of couse - still supported :-)
    * Option to configure the timeout (std: 100)
    * All windows are openable from the editor via toolbar buttons
    * Start to write my own karaoke widget (does anyone have tutoricals for gdk ???)

SingIt 0.1.3 (2000-10-20)

    * Created id3 Tag Editor / Dialog (just the interface) (singit_id3dlg.*)
    * Added file_hash and file_size to check updated file instead of rescanning (song.* / singit_sha.*)
    * Adapted / Extended song "class" / structure to support synchronized lyrics (song.*)
      (timestamps use milliseconds as Id3v2-sync_lyrics do)
    * Auto-Resize just changes width not height anymore

SingIt 0.1.2 (2000-10-03)

    * New lyrics window hide code
      (It's a workaround. It seems it isn't possible to correctly hide an unmaped window
        [a window which is visible, but on an other desktop].
       The only way I found is to hide the window after the window is maped.)
    * HTML export configuration config page

SingIt 0.1.1 (2000-09-26)

    * Fixed the bug when checking second lyric position
    * Implement new "user wanted" features
    * Fixed a bug when starting the creator from the config dialog

SingIt 0.1.0 (2000-09-25)

    * Bugfixes
    * Message box dialog widget
    * New HTML tag remove code
    * Now I use "linux version system" (even 0.0.x -> stable, odd 0.1.x -> development)

SingIt 0.0.4 (2000-09-10)

    * Nothing really new - just some tweaks

SingIt 0.0.3 (2000-09-07)

    * Encapsulated the whole config data (create, read, write, free, dialog - singit_config.*)
      (much cleaner and less (no... ?:-) errors (SEGFAULTs) ;-)
    * Using attach / detach mechanism to simplify config and timeout usage (timeout.*)
    * Encapsulated lyrics and token into a song structure (song.*)
      Added save, serialize (stream) funtions (used by lyrics editor)
    * Splitted singit_cfg into singit_status (not saved) and singit_config (saved)
    * Every dialog now uses an init, a clear and a close funtion
      They also contain a private *_status structure for easier cleanup
    * Removed XMMS plugin code from main window (main.c / singit_main.c)
      Better mechanism to free the whole resources

SingIt 0.0.2 (2000-08-26)

    * Totally new handling of lyric token
    * Seeking based on new token list works now correct
    * Subjectively polling time decreased
    * Added "automake / autoconf" structures (lots of work :-(
    * Added internationalization support
    * Improved configuration window
    * Nearly everything changed
      (except main and about window layout ;-)

SingIt 0.0.1 (2000-08-24)

    * Simple token list
    * Automatic selecting of lyric lines works
    * Token scanner works
    * "High" resource usage because of complex polling
    * Simple self written Makefile
    * Seeking crashes program
