• 20 March 2006: libmodplug 0.8 [ tar.gz, src.rpm ]
  Only libmodplug has been updated for release (modplug-xmms has some updates in CVS though)
  Changes:
  
  • Changes thanks to Marco Trillo (Custom libmodplug project)
    • Fixed endianness for S3M, FAR and Save functions for IT.
    • Export functions have C API equivelents (if you undefine MODPLUG_NO_FILESAVE)
    • More C API Functions for Volume, Setting, Instrument Information Getting/Setging.
    • C Implementation of Convert 32->24 and 32->32.
  • Changes thanks to Alistair John Strachan
    • AGC/Clipping Provlem Fixed - via C implementation of X86_AGC.
    • Increase Upper Limit of Frequency from 50k to 192kHz.
• 17 October 2003: ModPlug XMMS v2.05 [ tar.gz + tar.gz ]
  NOTE: A major difference in source packaging has been done in this release - therefore packagers should be ware - BOTH libmodplug*.tar.gz and modplugxmms*.tar.gz are required.
  The seperation was made due to quite a few programs+libraries making use of the libmodplug backend - which were unrelated to XMMS.
  Changes:
  
  • Source seperation of libmodplug and modplugxmms.
  • Registered DMF as a known mod file format extension. (thanks to Timo Jyrinki)
  • UI updates in XMMS about dialogue.
  • Fixed "zombie" processes created during archive usage.
  • Fixed "clipping" in pre-amp part of modplugxmms (thanks Ben Saylor)
  • Improved packaging of source tar balls.
  • Improved autoconf/automake usage.
  • Added pkgconfig pc file for libmodplug.
  • Please see the modplugplay website for the latest version (including documentaion) of modplugplay - which is packaged with modplug-xmms in the source distribution.
• 10 May 2003: ModPlug XMMS v2.04 [ tar.gz ]
  Changes:
  
  • Changes to autoconf/automake files so that they work using newer glibc (basically #define USE_NLS when needed)
  • Start of a translation system for the gtk gui
  • Removal of strstream C++ code (which is depricated) - replaced via stringstream. - This may cause problems for older compilers (if it becomes too much of a problem - then the simple C sprintf will be used instead.
  • Inclusion of a small command line modplug player 'modplugplay' - Thanks to Gurkan Sengun (although there seems to be a similar project called modplugline - modplugline.sf.net).
  • Spec file included in package (New RH8/9 RPMs prebuilt).
• 8 October 2002: ModPlug XMMS v2.03 [tar.gz]
  Changes:
  
  • Configure script included for simpler "workings"
• 21 July 2002: ModPlug XMMS v2.02 [.tar.gz]
  Changes:
  
  • Proper fix for archive importing, .zip, .rar, .gz, .bz2 (should work on all compilers too)
  • Patches for AMF decoding on Intel ARM
  • Release of RPMs for both libmodplug and modplug-xmms for Redhat 7.x (others also if contributed) - see downloads below.
• 18 June 2002: ModPlug XMMS v2.01
  Changes:
  
  • Modified to work with GCC 3
• 28th May 2002: New Maintainer - Konstanty Bialkowski
• 27 October 2001: ModPlug-XMMS v2.0 (including libmodplug v0.7)
  Changes:
  
  • ModPlug rendering engine moved into a separate library -- libmodplug created.
  • License changed to public domain.
  • Endianness bugs fixed by Adam Goode. Should work better on PPC now.

What is ModPlug?

Olivier Lapicque, writer of ModPlug (the BEST mod-like music player out there), sent me his mod rendering code, under the GPL, in early December. Seeing as how the current version of ModPlug for Linux was rather outdated and had no GUI, I took it upon myself to make ModPlug into an XMMS Plugin. For those who don't know, XMMS is a music player for Unix-like operating systems which resembles WinAmp, exept that it looks nicer.

I have only tested this version on Linux ix86, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work on other OS's that support XMMS. So far it is known to work on most, if not all 32-bit platforms.

What you need:

• libmodplug has no special requirements, however a front end is required in order to play the output from it.
• XMMS (Required for Modplug-XMMS Plugin)
  Note: XMMS often comes with MikMod. MikMod also plays MOD-like file formats, causing a conflict with ModPlug-XMMS. You will have to disable MikMod in the XMMS configuration if you want to use ModPlug.

Where to get it:

• The ModPlug-XMMS SourceForge page has all the info you need on downloading. click here.
• Most users will probably be getting libmodplug from a downstream source, such as their linux distribution, or video/audio player. Some of these downstream video/audio players which use libmodplug include:
  • UModPlayer - http://umodplayer.sourceforge.net/
  • VideoLAN Client - http://videolan.org/
  • PyModPlug - http://www.sacredchao.net/~piman/software/python.shtml#modplug
  • Gstreamer
• Linux Users: libmodplug and ModPlug-XMMS are in most Linux distributions. Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Gentoo are all known to have these are standard packages

Contributing:

As with any open source project, if you make any changes to the code which you think should be added, mail Konstanty (The Maintainer).
The original maintainer (temporal@gauge3d.org) although also contactable via email no longer actively develops modplugxmms, so please don't send bug reports to this address.
