1. LOOP-PLAY and SPACEBAR
-------------------------
BUG
When Loop-play is checked, Windows' focus is on this checkbox.
Hitting spacebar to play the sound then triggers a standard
Windows keyboard shortcut whereby spacebar toggles the check.

FIX
The bug has been fixed by sending focus back to the patchgrid.
The fix will be included in the next release (2.02).

WORKAROUND
After checking Loop-play, click on a patchgrid cell
or on a neutral panel somewhere, or even the play scrollbar.
 

2. GraphEd Visual Editor
-------------------------
BUGS
There are some problems with importing a processed column of data, when
it's one of a breakpoint pair, e.g. Y values.

Also, single-column textfiles may not load as intended, for example
frequencies generated with BankFreqs (Data menu).

WORKAROUND /FIX
The problems are still being investigated.


3. ACCESS VIOLATION BUG IN 23rd MAY RELEASE: FIXED
--------------------------------------------------
The version posted on 24th May (build of 23rd May) was 
found to contain a serious "access violation" error.

This version was withdrawn and replaced by a version
dated 25th June 2008. The current version is 2.01,
dated 19th September 2008.

If you have the version of 23rd May, please download its replacement
(SSProUpdate.zip).

4. CDP BUG IN FILTER FUNCTIONS
-------------------------------
CDP user Anthony Bonello has suggested that the modes are mixed up
in FILTER SWEEPING and FILTER VARIABLE:

Mode     Official      	  Actual?
1        High-pass        Notch
2        Low-pass         Band-pass
3        Band-pass        Low-pass
4        Notch            High-pass

Tests with white noise and filter sweeps seem to confirm this idea.
Unless anyone can provide evidence to the contrary, the next issue 
of Soundshaper (2.02) will reverse the mode list to match the 
"Actual" list above.


5. CDP PROBLEMS: RELEASE 5.01
-----------------------------
As far as we can tell, there are still problems with:

BANDS:	 Questions amplitude variation within a band
DEGRADE(modify radical 4): Hangs in ProcessStereo (hence Mono-only)
RINGMOD: Halves file length if stereo infile
	 Soundshaper uses ProcessStereo to get around this.
OCTMOVE: Appears to shift one way only (up but not down?).
MAKE2:   Not yet implemented in Soundshaper
Combine INTERLEAVE: Max. acceptable leaf size is <150: higher values give error.
	(Soundshaper parameter range now restricted to 150.)


Acknowledgements
----------------
