jMusic

This release adds major updates to the realtime audio infrastructure;
see the general tutorial and one about parameter passing. There are now
non-realtime audio file reading and writing methods that support .wav
and .aiff as well as .au files; see the tutorial on them. There are
new classes for fuzzy logic and an associated tutorial. This release
features a four-fold increase in MIDI file writing performance. There
are updates to the jmms package and a new tutorial for using MidiShare
with jMusic.

This release included a new compressor audio object, better handling of frequency pitches when writing MIDI files, audio envelopes that can cope with extremely short notes, additional real-time instruments, and a few bugfixes.

This release fixes bugs in jMusic 1.4 relating to the correct saving of instruments to MIDI files and the correct rendering of audioObjects that extend beyond the note duration (such as delay and ADSR).

Additions include a new audio waveform viewer, additional audio objects, support for MIDIShare I/O in the new msjm package, and the ability to link phrases by relative position with the Anchor class. Significant improvements include widespread support for note pitch as frequency and for XML score files, CPN display of multiple parts, improved QuickTime MIDI playback range and accuracy, more accessible JavaSound MIDI and Audio playback, overhauls of almost every GUI utility (especially the HelperGUI), and additional Mod methods.

New and updated audio objects, pitch specification as a fractional frequency in hertz, extended music notation features, removal of a number of unused older classes, and numerous bugfixes.
