hi,

The buzztard team has released version 0.4.0 "the light in your eyes" of its
buzz-alike music composer. All modules got extensive improvements over the last
release from a half year ago. It is usable now and fun to play with. Give it a
try and report bugs.

buzztard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As planned, main focus for this release was the wavetable support. Its done -
buzztard can load what gstreamer can decode. The wavetable view has a nice
waveform widget. Related to that buzztard has a new song-format that bundles the
XML together with external files in a zip archive.
Also the UI has seen a lot of improvements. The machine view looks nicer - Marc
drew spiffy machine icons. In addition they now show real volume meters when
playing. All meters are now properly synced.

gst-buzztard
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
API renaming to cleanup gst namespace usage. Now includes former gstbml module.
