09-03-2007 BrainBay V1.2 released:
- removed bug in archive playback (crashed at the end of some archives)

- extension of the midi-element: pitchbend, pitchrange and dynamic output interval
- ERP-detector improved: correlation method, multiple input channels,
recording can be triggered via port-input
caution: previous designs using the ERP-detector need re-connection of the ports

- adjustable sampling rate
- some structural changes
- Wav-Object updated: has adjustable playback speed now (Alpha stage)

28-01-2004 BrainBay V0.6.5 snapshot released:
- got rid of the bitmaps for the construction window, using drawn objects instead
- removed some bugs in GUI and object communication
new objects:
- Wav-Object to play sounds (working but not yet finished, triggers .wav, .mp3, ..),

07-01-2004 BrainBay V0.6 snapshot released:
- some minor changes in the source provide MinGW-compatibility ! (thanks to Jeremy Wilkerson)
MinGW is the Minimalist Gnu for Windows OpenSource Compiler
30-12-2003 BrainBay V0.5 snapshot released:
- serial port reader
- write to / read from file (plain text or integer values)
- archive-player uses a timer to read from the file instead of the Com-Port
- oscilloscope display object
- filter-object and magnitude object, using calls to Jim Peter's fidlib.dll
for real-time filter design. there were some problems when creating
certain filter-types like chebyshev. maybe i used wrong calling-parameters..
i bypassed these types now
- fourier-object, fourier display window using opengl-drawing
- midi-output-object, sends midi-note or control-change - messages to
a selectable midiout-device. parameters like sampling interval,
volume range and tonescale can be selected.
- particle-system-object, running in an opengl-window, remote control of color, amount,
gravity, position etc. via the signal-parametes is possible.
- threshold-object, combines a threshold function (min/max, rising/falling values)
whith a pre-gain and a meter-display
- translate-object, not finished now (only gain and add implemented) will allow mapping
of input to output values
- a signal generator-object, produces sinus, sawtooth or rectangles at selectable frequency
