[b0edd2d]6702013-12-08  Paul Brossier <piem@aubio.org>
671
672        * Overdue: After more than five years of development behind the curtain,
673        time has come to release a new version of aubio.
674
675        * General: The library has been completely revised since 0.3.2. The API has
676        seen a major clean up, and has been thoroughly tested. The following list of
677        changes is not exhaustive.
678
679        * Memory management: allocation and freeing of memory has been optimized in
680        many ways. Several memory leaks and out of bound access have been fixed.
681
[111f7d1]682        * Optimization: the FFT, central to most algorithms, can now be computed
[b0edd2d]683        using different optimized algorithms, depending on what is available on your
684        platform (FFTW, Ooura, or vDSP). Other simple optimization tricks are
685        included. Most can be deactivated by configuring the build accordingly.
686
687        * python/: The python interface has been completely rewritten to use numpy C
688        interface, making the aubio python module order of magnitudes faster than
689        the previous version. Several demos and tests are included.
690
691        * src/: source and header files are now organized in sub-directories.
692
693        * src/io/source.h: new source readers can now use any or all of libav,
694        CoreAudio, and libsndfile. This means that aubio can now easily read most
695        uncompressed and compressed formats. Compiled with libav, aubio can also
696        read audio from video files, and over the network.
697
698        * src/io/sink.h: a new sink object lets you write wav files with any number
699        of channels, at any samplerate, using libsndfile or CoreAudio.
700
701        * src/onset, src/tempo/, src/pitch: the different methods for onset, tempo,
702        and pitch extraction have seen many bug-fixes and optimizations.
703
704        * src/spectral/specdesc.h: new onset distances and statistical measures have
705        been added.
706
707        * src/spectral/filterbank.h: new filter bank to compute the energy in any
708        custom-defined frequency bands.
709
710        * src/spectral/mfcc.h, examples/aubiomfcc.c: a standard implementation of
711        the Mel-Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients algorithm has been added.
712
713        * src/temporal/{a,c}_weighting.h: standard implementation of the C-weighting
714        and A-weighting pre-processing filters are now provided for most commons
715        sampling rates.

718        some sounds.
719
720        * src/fvec.h: fvec_t, the vector object central to most aubio algorithms, is
721        now single channel. This simplifies the code of each algorithm greatly.
722

724        operations to avoid floating point overflow
725
726        * src/fmat.h: fmat_t provides a single precision matrix, useful for
727        multi-channel operations and to some algorithms such as the spectral filter
728        bank.
729
730        * examples/: several new options, including new programs, have been
731        included. Refer to the documentation for details.
732

734        be a good place to look at to understand how to use aubio.
735
736        * doc/web.cfg: a simplified Doxygen configuration produces a simpler html
737        documentation.
738
739        * doc/*.txt: the manpages have been rewritten for txt2man.
740
741        * Build system: the build system has been switched from autotools/automake
742        to waf. Type './waf' or see README.md for instructions on how to use waf.
