Version 0.96 has a number
of substantial modifications.
First, the program has a
large number of textual changes to support localization
(translation to non-English languages). There is some
chance that some of these were done wrong. That may
be seen in a combo box that has the wrong default or
the wrong set of selections. Please inform
us if you find any of those.
There have been a number
of users having issues with the fact that Speaker Workshop
now uses their local language number and date formats.
As a result, the default operation as of 0.96b is to
use US ANSI standard definitions (the method used in
0.95). To switch to local language dates and number
formats set Country Code (in Options / Preferences the
General Tab) to 1. The default (0) uses US ANSI.
Next, the undo operations
have changed pretty significantly. This should only
be obvious as a substantial speedup when doing measurements.
In addition to running faster, the new version also
uses far less memory than previous versions. Hopefully
it also fixes some lingering Undo bugs, but it may have
caused more.
Third, there is a new command
Save Registry in the File menu. This is strictly for
diagnostic purposes. If you are having difficulty with
the program we may ask that you e-mail the saved registry
to us. This ONLY saves the portion of the registry having
to do with Speaker Workshop (it produces a text file
that you are welcome to browse through). The saved registry
has no other purpose than diagnostic for Audua support.
Finally, version 0.96 adds
Trails. These are currently implemented in an out-of-the-way
place. In Options / Preferences the General. tab there
is a new question:
Number
of past measurements to keep
If you set this greater than
0, then when you do a typical measurement (on-axis,
30 degrees, impedance, ...) Speaker Workshop will now
do two things. First, it will build a chart named measurement.Chart
and second it will start keeping older measurements
around as measurement.trl1 and measurement.trl2 and
so on. These trln files contain the prior measurements
and the Chart shows the current measurement as well
as all of the trails. A typical chart might look like

One thing to keep in mind,
the chart and the trails are temporary resources. When
you save the file these resources will disappear - so
they don't clutter up your file. You can make a resource
permanent (the usual type of resource) by selecting
the resource in the tree then right-clicking it and
picking Make Permanent from the popup menu. If you make
further measurements they will still overwrite permanent
resources, however.
