2003-10-04 – version 0.5.sl.1

• added window shade mode like the one in xmms and removed the configure option – gui visible -.
  The width is fixed to the standard width of 275 pixels. IMO this looks pretty good and is just the best size for the two sliders.
• added focus sensitive titlebars. The skin has to support this.
• removed the „boost“ function. This button now resets the preamp to 0 db. So this is the same behavior as in winamp.
• added two more reset buttons for the preamp slider to quickly access +12 db an -12 db
• changed the default skin pixmaps to show the values +12 db and -12 db. Also the info text in the xmms main window shows this range.
• fixed some skin related function. The allocated memory of the skin browser wasn't freed correctly.
• changed preamp and gain mappings to pow(). This gives more accurate values and extra filtering can be dropped. Also the automatic volume attenuation/rising isn't needed any more. Xmms volume level is now left untouched by the EQ band/preamp sliders.
• fixed some skin related functions

2003-08-20 – version 0.4.sl.1

• changed a lot to EQ plugin. Here's a more or less complete list of changes:
• added toggle button to amplify the output or not. only simple amplifying code for now amplifying the output at zero slider levels will give the same volume as with no eqaulizer at all.
• added skin support. Skins for eq go into /usr/lib/xmms/EQSkins. See SKINS for more details. Skins can easily made out of xmms skins or winamp skins. Changing a skin in xmms does _not_ changed the skin in EQ. Hhmm, currently I've no idea how to implement this. Any ideas?
• tweaked some coordinates for skin elements. now xmms and winamp skins will work as a basis for new eq skins
• added new skin element: boost button. It toggles the amplifying of the output signal. winamp skins use this skin element to reset the eq sliders to zero level. hhmm, this is a very different usage of xmms and winamp. Is this o.k.? Any ideas?
• added a 25 band eq. I only did this, because I wanted to have a window size for the plugin which is twice as wide as the standard xmms windows. This will give a nicer look when all windows (playlists, some visuals, xmms main ..) are docked together. Therefor the skin has to be 5 pixels wider than the elements will give in "standard" sizes.
• added a system menu to easily access the preferences dialog and the skin browser
• some small other ....
