What's New

Here are recent significant news items, release announcements, etc. in descending chronology.

19 March 2008 • Version 1.4.1 fixes export problems

A small update to last month's new release, Doggiebox version 1.4.1 (download now) fixes a problem that caused exporting audio files to not work properly under Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).

21 February 2008 • Version 1.4 is finally here!

Two years to the day following the last major feature release, a refreshed Doggiebox update is available now! The notable points in this version:

Now compiled as a Universal Binary (runs natively PowerPC and Intel Macs)!
Fixed stuttering playback issues under Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
Behaviour of the "Insert Bar(s)" functions reversed for better usability.
Mac OS audio file routines are now used, resulting in different file type options.

Mac OS X 10.4.11 (or later) is now required.

21 February 2006 • Version 1.3 released!

The Doggie was only sleeping! After much development, rumination and anticipation, a significant new version is now available for download. Improvements include:

Velocity adjustment is now possible on a beat-by-beat basis (right-clicking on a drum will pop up an adjustment slider).
Editing operations can now be performed on a beat-subdivision granularity, in addition to whole bars as before. Drums can be moved while the song structure remains unaffected.
A new floating inspector window provides control over time signature and tempo, default velocity, etc.
New commands to insert and delete beats. Changing time signature now preserves a bar's structure.
Zooming is now adjustable for individual bars, and is persistent.
Playback tempo is now adjustable in real time according to inbound MIDI Clock events.
Many other bug fixes and usability enhnacements.
