Hi, to prepare for Tritonus 0.4.x, there is now Tritonus 0.3.0, which is considered a version for developers (see below for details on the version numbering policy). FEATURES ALREADY AVAILABLE: - PCM2PCM converter - GSM 06.10 codec - ALSA support (playback and recording, multiple soundcards) - Sun-compatible service provider mechanism - runnable with jdk1.3 (audio part) - writing of MIDI files - runnable on Linux PowerPC - MidiShare support (tested on Windows; should run on Linux, too) - Software synthesizer support (Linux only) FEATURES PLANNED FOR 0.4.x: - mp3 encoder - sampling rate converter - runnable with jdk1.3 (MIDI part) You can download it from: http://tritonus.sourceforge.net/download.html If you work with this release, it is recommended that you subscribe to the tritonus-devel mailing list to take part in discussions on the development of Tritonus. At least, you should subscribe to tritonus-announce to get informed about updates. About the version numbering policy The version numbering of Tritonus now follows the pattern you are famuliar with from the Linux kernel: Odd minor numers (0.3.x, 0.5.x) are unstable development releases. Even minor numbers (0.2.0, 0.4.x) are considered stable and for non-hacker use. About the announcement policy Versions with new major or minor number (0.3.x -> 0.4.0) will be announced at javasound-interest, java-linux and tritonus-announce. Versions with new release number (0.3.281 -> 0.3.282) will only be announced on tritonus-announce. Many thanks to Florian Bomers and Stephane Letz for their development work. Have fun!
