    (For detailed history, see the History chapter)

    About 0.60f:

    Camd.library v40.5 should now finally be included.
    Please update, v40.4 has a couple of crash-bugs.

    ----------------

    About 0.60e:

    Seems like the previous "non-beta" amiga-release still had
    some bugs. None of them was very serious, but rather
    of the old annoying type. No new features in this
    release, just bug-fixes.

    ----------------

    About 0.60d:

    First non-beta amiga-release. There are no known bugs for
    the amiga-version. Please commit bug-reports.

    ----------------

    About 0.60b:
    Python at least v2.0 is required to make it start.
    Uses some more memory than previous versions.
    Lots of bugs have been removed.

    ----------------

    About 0.56d:
    Trying "All notes off" instead of "All sounds off" for midi-stop.
    This is an experiment for a special synth, and might lead
    to hanging notes. Next release will go back to using
    "All sounds off".

    ----------------

    About 0.56c:

    Wrong type of midi signal was sent out when stopping all
    sound. This at least made one Yamaha synth stopped working
    after a while, and one had to reset it. Hopefully fixed now.

    ----------------

    About 0.56:
    There is some new graphics at the left of the editor showing
    the tempo, that you may find annoying. Just clicking on it
    will make it dissapear.

    ----------------

    About 0.55d:
    Program "freezes" for 20 seconds or so when copying/cuting in certain
    situations is fixed.

    ----------------

    About 0.55b:
    Added the newest camd.library and mmp driver in
    the extras directory. Please install them.

    ----------------

    About 0.55:
    Another release. See HISTORY.

    ----------------
    About 0.54d:
    Seems to be 2-3 times faster in WinUAE now. Probably a
    lot faster for amigas with GFX cards too.

    ----------------
    About 0.54c:
    The menues should hopefully be free for typos.

    ----------------
    About 0.54:
    You need to install the new camd.library (V40) and the new mmp driver
    before running. Midi in in WinUAE should work again.

    ---------------
    About 0.53:
    A potentional crash-bug while adding notes with the computer-keyboard
    was removed.

    ------------------
    About 0.52:
    All previous versions seemed to allocate way to much gfx-memory.
    Oops. Now hopefully fixed.

    -----------------

    About 0.51:
    This one seems to be both stable, nice gfx, and quite fast
    too compaired to all previous versions. Lots of bugs and potential
    bugs have been removed. I hope there wont be to much trouble with
    this version.

    -----------------

    About 0.50:
    1. Could be important:
       If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Radium than 0.42,
       please delete the file radium:init.rad first.

    3. The program seems to be working pretty fine. But there are some bugs.
       Some are just annoying, and can be worked around, and others are more
       dangerous. My advice for you is to generally save your song very
       often, and read the BUGS section of this manual.

    4. If you can`t get the program to start; read the INSTALLATION part of
       this manual carefully. And if you still can`t make it work, send me
       an e-mail that contains:

       1. What happens when you try to run the program.
       2. The shell-output from Radium when you start it.
       3. Info about your machine (cpu, memory, midi-interface,
          OS and (if you have) gfx-card)
       4. (most important) A snoop-dos log with all reports turned ON.
          Snoop-dos is a program that logs the
          calls to your dos.library, and can be found on the aminet. Most
          problems regarding startup-problems can be solved by looking at the
          snoop-dos log.

    5. Songs saved with this version of Radium can not be loaded by previous
       versions. If you want to load a song made with 0.43 into either
       V0.42 or V0.42NP, edit the songs manually in a text-editor. In the
       files, search for lines that contains "?reltempo". Remove all those
       lines, and all the lines that is right below.
       All the info about the blocks relative tempo have now been removed.
       (the info from the new slider at bottom-left)
       You must allso change the second line to "0.420000" instead of
       "0.430000".
