    * Version 2.8.0 released.
    * In GTK, added support for printing the lyrics from .kar files
      and also make the text area clear between files.
    * New command line option: -M <name>
	-M auto: Use *.mid.wav or *.mid.aiff instread of MIDI to WAVE
		 convertion.  The PCM file format must be 16bit sample and
		 the sampling rate equals as timidity's rate.
        -M none: Disable this feature (default)
        -M <filename>: Use the specified file.
    * In GTK interface, added support for printing the lyrics from .kar files
      and also make the text area clear between files.
    * New configure option to choose wave interpolation in resampling.
	--with-spline=linear	Linear interpolation (default)
	--with-spline=cubic	Cubic interpolation
	--with-spline=lanrange	Langrange interpolation
	--with-spline=no	No interplation
    * New command line option `-m N' to specify sustain time (msec).
	-m 1	Effectively behaves as if all sustains are ignored,
		volume ramping is the same as normal stage 3.
	-m 0	Disable sustain ramping, causes constant volume sustains.
		(default)
	-m 3000	A note at full volume will decay for 3 seconds once it begins
		to be sustained (assuming the regular stage 3 rate would not
		cause it to decay even longer). Softer notes will of course
		die sooner.

4/17, 1999
Major changes in release 2.0.0:

* Auto voice reduction
  If there is no enough machine power to play the MIDI in realtime,
  TiMidity automatically reduces the voice.
* Audio buffering
  TiMidity has internal audio buffer.  TiMidity doesn't start to play until
  this buffer is filled.
* Support Windows GUI.
* Support Sherry WRD.
* Support NAS (Network Audio System) output.
* Support EsounD output.
* Enable to play the stream MIDI in realtime.  The stream format is same
  as OSS /dev/sequencer stream.  See the protocol in interface/server_c.c
* Enable to assign patch from part of soundfont.
* Lower CPU load average in trace playing.
  v1 is implemented with busy-wait-method to synchronize audio and
  interface, but v2 is not.
* Reverb and chorus effect is enabled by default.  You can disable their
  controls with command line option.
* DEFAULT_VOICES is now 64.  You can change this value to modify
  `timidity.h'.
* Modified reverb optimaize implementation. (The algorithm is not changed)
* Add sun_a.c which is modified from the original of TiMidity.  And then
  remove audriv_sun.c because it is not used in this version.
* Implement function to change the audio sample rate for 'n' interface.
* `altassign' of drumset 0 is used by default.
* Add -EF option for effects.
  Obsolete -b, -n, -EC, -Ec, -ER, -Er, and -r options.
  Use -EFdelay=?  instead of -b?,
    -EFns=?     instead of -n?,
    -EFchorus=0 instead of -EC,
    -EFchorus=1 instead of -Ec,
    -EFreverb=0 instead of -ER,
    -EFreverb=1 instead of -Er,
    -EFreverb=2 instead of -r.
