  [ April 22nd, 2007 ]
  • New icon thanks to Erik Brodeur.
  • Fixed a crash that was ocurring when adding sort rules.

  • HTML output of exported libraries now uses the correct escape codes for special characters. Playlists are now numbered too.
  • Added feature to allow you to copy tracks off the DMS. Select one (or more playlists), then choose "Copy All Tracks" from the context menu.
  
  
• Version: 0.6.0
  [ September 4th, 2006 ]
  • PhatMac is now a Universal binary.
  • Added feature to check for latest version on startup. This enables a button on the main window that brings up the About Box. The About Box now shows the current version, and latest version. If there's a new version availale, a button is enabled that takes the user to the changelist and download page on buzzneon.com. This can be disabled on the Generic Preference pane.
  • Added "Export Library" option that writes the library to a text or HTML file.
  • Erase the whole DMS, which will remove all speech and music files.
  • Converted files will have .mp3 appended to the filename in order to not confuse the AAC plugin.
  • The utility Sox is no longer used by Phatmac or included in the bundle. Speech attributes (speed, pitch and volume) are implemented directly with Quicktime, and Quicktime is also used to convert the generated speech file to .wav.
  • Extra feedback and an abort button are now present while clearing all speech files, and also while purging the DMS disk. This is present while erasing the DMS too.
