WildMIDI 0.3.7 has been released
We’re still quite busy with developing 0.4 and thought it was best to backport our fixes into the 0.3 branch. As a result we ended up having an additional 2 releases in the 0.3 branch!
What’s new in this release
We’ve added DOS support in the form of SoundBlaster 16 playback in the player. The other big surprise is MIDI type-2 support, which came as a by-product of fully supporting XMI files like those from The Legend of Kyrandia. The rest of the changes are further enhancements to our build system and bug-fixes.
What to look forward to…:
We’ve wrapped up XMI (Eye of the Beholder 3) and Id’s MUS (Doom, Raptor) support (with change of frequency support). We also have some preliminary support for playback of HMI (Daggerfall, X-COM) and HMP (Descent, Abuse) files! We are also working with the community and sharing our results, in response, they (to yet be named) are going to re-license their research and code to be more compatible with WildMIDI! This will certainly make engine re-implementation work easier for those that wish to use the library playback music. This is all being worked on currently in the 0.4 branch.
If you are interested in helping out, please leave a comment or fork the code on github! We’re always looking at supporting more MIDI like formats.
