        0.What's new

WIDI 4.03:

- A bug with reading some MP3 files introduced in 4.02 is fixed.

WIDI 4.02:

- Issue with "Unknown Error" appearing after cancelling recognition process
  is fixed.
- Support for processors without SSE2 (for example, Athlon XP) is added.
- Now WIDI successfully reads some MP3 files it could not read before.

WIDI 4.0:

+ New general purpose Euclid Recognition Algorithm is developed that works 
  substantially better that previous algorithms.
+ New Drum Recognition Algorithm devoted to recognition of drum tracks as well
  as to extraction of drum score from a complex recording is created. 
+ Now WIDI can analyse Tonality of a musical piece, no matter if it is MIDI
  or a Wave file (after recognition), suggesting most probable variants for 
  your final decision.
+ New Tuning determination not only allows to find exact degree of instrument 
  detuning (compared to the standard European Scale) over the whole piece, 
  but also serves as aid to the recognition algorithms.
+ Equalizer feature was greatly enhanced.  Now you can use scale mask together 
  with pitch mask. Several common scales are supported, and the scale can be 
  applied according to the automatically determined key-note.
+ (Pro version only) New Score Viewer allows easy visualization of recognition
  results:
  + Choose any combination of tracks to view as score. The Viewer is 
    synchronized to the piano-roll editor - you can edit exactly notes you 
    are looking at.
  + Different visualization modes for different tasks - bars and durations 
    effects can be switched on or off.
+ (Pro version only) Many enhancements for the TrueTone Editor:
  + MIDI Recording feature allows you to record anything with MIDI keyboard 
    while hearing to either MIDI or Audio tracks.
  + Cursor Ruler shows note alignment and aids in distinguishing true notes
    from harmonics.
  + Additional Note Info indicates note key and velocity right near 
    every note.
  + Smart composition end was implemented - no more need to manually 
    change piece size.
  + WNE files are now saved as XML for better compatibility with future 
    versions.
+ New Visualization in Realtime module was added.
+ Language Manager greatly simplifies WIDI translation to other languages.
+ Batch Conversion allows to convert many files at once for later examination 
  or editing.
+ Windows Vista is now supported.
+ A bunch of smaller improvements you will notice working with WIDI.

Version 3.32:

* Better Windows Vista compatibility 

Version 3.31 (std):

* A problem with failing to start with WM 8 is fixed.
 
Version 3.3:

+ WMA file format is now supported (requires Windows Media Player).  
+ Algorithms - velocity range (dynamics) and velocity cut-off value 
  adjustments are added
+ TrueTone Editor has been enhanced:
    + Use Play Tool for playing notes under cursor
    + Quantization & Align actions are added
    + Tapping delay calibration is introduced
    + Increase/decrease Volume for selected notes
    + Move bars freely - placing restrictions are removed
    + Thick Notes border mode is added.  
+ Trial version expires in 20 days
+ Minor changes in user interface are performed
- GS files are no longer supported
