0.9.5 audio playback bug fixed !
There was a bug in the first release of 0.9.5 which prevented audio playback. I have now fixed this and posted a revised version.
Image loading in 0.7.5
I've just noticed image loading is broken in 0.7.5. This is the result of some bad coding in 'smogrify'. To fix this, edit /usr/bin/smogrify, and change the lines:
# get number of frames
if ($count>0) {
# double check number of frames
$found=0;
for ($i=$count;$i--;$i>0&&$found==0) {
$name=&mkname($i);
if (-f $name) {
$found=$i;
to:
# get number of frames
if ($count>0) {
# double check number of frames
$found=0;
for ($i=$count;$i>0&&$found==0;$i--) {
$name=&mkname($i);
if (-f "$name$img_ext") {
$found=$i;
Version 0.6.5
This is mainly a bugfix release for some annoying issues that ended up in 0.6.0
