* Added 'FM Wave->LF Sine' and 'Phase Distortion' oscillator types.

* Enhanced the GUI by replacing all the mode selection spinbuttons
    with popup menu buttons.

* Improved the envelope generator code so that already-playing notes
    will respond to parameter changes to envelope segments that have
    not yet begun.

* Added a 75% partial width scaling setting to the PADsynth
    parameters.

* Added a few new patches to the default set, including a
    contribution from Ken Restivo.

* Made several GCC 4 fixes, including more sane inlining.

* Added 'Copy' and 'Paste' buttons for the filters and effect.

* Changed the autotools setup to keep the plugin and GUI libraries
    separate (since the plugin doesn't need liblo and the GUI
    doesn't need FFTW.)

* Added a non-realtime worker thread and 'PADsynth' oscillator type.

* Recreated the wavetables, without the boneheaded bandlimiting
    error that was causing several of the the tables to alias badly
    over portions of their key range.  Added several new waveforms,
    including some missing SQ-80 ones, and the Bristol 'jagged-edged
    ramp'.

* Added the 'Dual Delay' effect.

* Incorporated the 4-pole lowpass filter from amSynth.

* Added a persistent comment field to the patches.

* Updated the default patches, with a number of new native patches
    (including contributions from Nigel Henry and Garett Shulman),
    and redid the K4 interpretations after fixing some bugs in the
    import code. Included in the extra/ directory are the WhySynth
    20051005 default patches, in case anyone needs them for
    backwards compatibility, and 454 new K4 interpretations.

* A new Configuration option, 'Cancel Notes On Program Change',
    controls whether WhySynth will stop any playing notes before it
    performs a program change, which can prevent nasty surprises if
    the previous and new patches are not compatible.  Defaults to
    'On'.

* WhySynth now uses gcc/glibc 'constructor' and 'destructor'
    attributes instead of the deprecated _init() and _fini()
    functions (needed for OS X 10.4 'Tiger').

* WhySynth_gtk no longer echos host-initiated control changes back
    to the host.

* DSSI 'hide' now hides the patch edit window, too.

20051005 smbolton
* First release.

* On this dark and stormy night, Xsynth-DSSI began a series of
    profound and rapid mutations, acquired K4-ish wavetable
    oscillators, and was reborn as WhySynth.
