Rave is a sound editor for AmigaOS4-compatible computers. It provides
functionality for manipulating and storing digital audio files.

NEW IN THIS RELEASE (1.8):

- 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.

INSTALLATION:

- Download sndfile.library from OS4depot and install it.
- Then extract the program drawer to a suitable location on your disk, making
sure that it has plenty of free space. Replace any previous installation of the
program.

REQUIREMENTS:

- AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition Update 2 or newer;
- sndfile.library;
- Enhancer Core classes (toolbar.gadget, infodata.gadget, select.gadget,
shared.image).

FEATURE OVERVIEW:

-  A modern, configurable graphical user interface (GUI).
-  A tabbed environment for managing multiple projects from within a single
program window.
-  A powerful custom file requester with preview playback and other useful
features.
-  A wide selection of editing functions with unlimited Undo.
-  Asynchronous operation: performing a task in a project doesn't block the
other projects.
-  Support for multiple clipboard units.
-  Modular design with an object-oriented plugin system, which makes the program
easy to extend.
-  A wide range of supported audio file types and formats.
