EarTest Version History--What's New in This Version

1.03, Sep 1999

Added option "Wrong Note Reps = -1". This setting causes EarTest to repeat the same question until you finally get the correct answer.
Fixed a few bugs
Updated help file a bit

Fixed problem: "chord" radio button malfunctioning
Added "MidiPatchDelay" to the "eartest.ini" file, so you can set a delay loop to run between sending patch and actual midi note on/off. Some midi devices freak out with no delay because it takes them a few milliseconds to change the patch. Change this "MidiPatchDelay" value by editing the EarTest.ini file. See the FAQ for more details.

Winiconhandle was an "integer"; in some cases this caused a crash. Changed to "atom", which fixed the problem.
Removed a bunch of dead code.

You can now answer with computer keyboard as well as with mouse and midi keyboard.
You can adjust the volume of the sounds played on right answer/ wrong answer.
Made the "option/option" screen smaller. Now EarTest is completely compatible with 640x480 graphics mode.
Updated the Help File extensively. Added "Research Reports" section. Added further FAQs. Found a way to reduce help file size dramatically (by about 85%).
Added further "tips" that appear when items on the main screen are clicked.
Added context sensitive help to many main screen items (press F1 while entering values to see the relevant section of the help file).
Added "hints" for some main screen items. These appear when you move the mouse above some items.

Removed "hints" because they cause fatal errors in some situations. Hints will be restored in a future version--without the fatal errors.

Fixed problem with note/chord radio buttons.
Fixed problem in "Test Mode" (inadvertant signaling of correct/incorrect answer).
Added "Reset Scores" button.
Made improvements to Options menu.
Changed text in "Test Mode" to better explain how it works.
Uses Win32lib ver 0.45i (ver 1.11 was bound with the wrong Win32Lib version).
