Sweep 0.5.11 Development Release
--------------------------------

Sweep is an audio editor and live playback tool for GNU/Linux, BSD and
compatible systems. It supports many music and voice formats including
WAV, AIFF, Ogg Vorbis, Speex and MP3, with multichannel editing and
LADSPA effects plugins. Inside lives a pesky little virtual stylus called
Scrubby who enjoys mixing around in your files.

This development release is available as a source tarball at:

    http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sweep/sweep-0.5.11.tar.gz?download

NEW features in this release include:

        * mixing and crossfading paste methods: copy a region from one file
        and mix or fade it into another file or elsewhere in the same file,
        with control of source and destination levels and phase.

        * navigation shortcuts to move between selection edges: move the
        cursor between the start and end of selection regions, and to the
        next edge of a multi-region selection, with Ctrl + Arrow Left/Right

        * view memories: assign the viewable area to a number on the numeric
        keypad with Ctrl+<Num>, and zoom back to it later by pressing that
        number. (NB. Num Lock must be on on your keyboard).

        * support for Speex 1.0beta3 ultra-wideband mode (32kHz). Speex is
        a high quality, patent-free and open source voice codec.

        * support for full-file application of Secret Rabbit Code

Additionally, minor bugs were fixed affecting portability of system error
handling and detection of MP3 files.

Sweep is designed to be intuitive and to give you full control. It includes
almost everything you would expect in a sample editor, and then some:

        * precise, vinyl like scrubbing
        * looped, reverse, and pitch-controlled playback
        * playback mixing of unlimited independent tracks
        * looped and reverse recording
        * internationalisation
        * multichannel and 32 bit floating point PCM file support
        * support for Ogg Vorbis, MP3 and Speex compressed audio files
        * LADSPA 1.1 effects support
        * multiple views, discontinuous selections
        * easy keybindings, mouse wheel zooming
        * unlimited undo/redo with fully revertible edit history
        * multithreaded background processing
        * shaded peak/mean waveform rendering, multiple colour schemes

Sweep is Free Software, available under the GNU General Public License.
