Daniel 'trixie' Jedlicka hat die Version 1.8 seines Audio-Editors "Rave" veröffentlicht. Um Audio-Dateien zu laden und zu speichern nutzt das Programm jetzt die kürzlich von Jedlicka in eine AmigaOS-Shared-Library portierte Linux-Bibliothek libsndfile, die ebenfalls heute veröffentlicht wurde. Die Änderungen in Rave 1.8 im Detail:

• The program now uses sndfile.library (needs to be installed in LIBS:) for sample loading and saving, instead of a custom module.
• Added support for Microsoft ADPCM compression in the loader and saver code.
• New function in the Edit menu: "Set selection", which allows making precise selections based on user input or pre-defined ranges.
• The item "Extend selection" in the Edit menu has been renamed to "Modify selection", and its submenu contains two new commands, "Halve" and "Double".
• Fixed the "Create new drawer" function in the file requester, which would cause a lockup if the "Enter created drawer" option was selected.
• Fixed a small bug introduced in V1.7 which would leave certain menu commands available even if no sample was loaded.
• Across all program components, reworked memory allocations to make them more consistent and less error-prone.
• When loading the list of recently opened files, Rave now checks the list and removes all items that are no longer available.
• In the file requester, the file name gadget wouldn't accept more than 127 characters; the limit has been increased to MAX_DOS_NAME (255 characters) to support long file names in modern filesystems.
• Various other smaller improvements and fixes.
• Updated documentation.
