• Multifile processing. Finally I got it to work. It's still rather dumb and doesn't deal with sub-directories and such.
• Genrebutton is now operational. It pops up a window with a list containing all the genres in alphabetical order. The window is scalable. (it's actually my first scalable GUI. Try it out and tell me it works).
• Delete now works
• Runnable from Workbench® again. Doesn't take any arguments though.
• AmID3 is now an AppWindow. Drop icons on it and you'll see. This wasn't a planned feature but the thought of it hit me in the middle of it and I spent two hours with it (with some help from Tungsten... Hi, Tungsten!).
• The filerequester handling is very now very intelligent. Everything you type into the string gadget is examined and inserted into the filerequesters structure which makes the File and Drawer fields be filled in with the right stuff later on when you use it. Also the pattern in the filerequester isn't activated until you enter a pattern somewere (stringgadget or in the filerequester). The file selection now has the right feeling. Go wild on this one to try it out.
• AmID3 may be quit with CTRL-C too. (Will insert more checks later on).

• GUI
• It now sticks to the actual standard and fill out the strings with spaces instead of NULLs. These are however removed upon loading so it's completly transparent to the user. This doesn't mean that it isn't compatible with my older programs and others that did as AmID3 v1.x did (fill with NULLs).

• Tomasz Kepa gave me another list of genres and asked if i could incorporate it into AmID3. Because there are no real official list of genres I thought it might be nice if it was possible to load the genrelist from disk.
• Trapped a few strings that didn't make it into the catalogs last time. I got them translated and smacked it into them. Catalogs now bumped to 2.0. Be sure to update them before using AmID3.

• Polish catalog added. Translated by Tomasz Kepa (domel@box43.gnet.pl)
• Made the sourcecode run through SAS/C w/o warnings or errors. All versions of AmID3 have been made with StormC. I've ordered SAS/C wich will result in future AmID3 will be made in SAS/C instead. This means that it's easier to code MUI stuff etc and a GUI WILL be made.
• Fixed a bug. The catalog wasn't closed after usage.

• The line that separates the banner from the output in READ now is gone when NOBANNER is set.
• Spannish catalog added. Translated by Jesús Reyes Martinez (jreyes@idecnet.com).
• READ is now default and can therefor be omitted. Ex. AmID3 FunnyTune.mp3.
• Revised the guide a bit. Especially the Usage-section. Added a Translations page.

• Added option NOBANNER. Disables the AmID3-banner shown before anything else. Useful for batch-scripts etc.
• Added option SHORT. Outputs just artist and songname (if set) like this [Artist] - [Songname]. Useful for renaming-scripts etc. [Hej Zynx!!]
• AmID3 now gives returncodes to the CLI it was run from. 5 for the most errors and 10 if it can't allocate memory.

• Added option EXTRACT. Extracts the ID3-tag (128 bytes) to a named separate file.
• Added option IMPORT. Imports the ID3-tag from a named separate file.
• When adding parameters all the time they got mixed up and the results was quiet goofy. Now fixed.
• AmID3 is now localised and if you make translations to your own language please send the CT-file to me.

• Added option DELETE. Deletes the ID3-tag if any from file.
• Fixed a bug which made the text "No ID3-tag" only to lie in memory and not showing it.
• Fixed a spelling error in the manual.

• Initial Aminet-release.
• Got the idea and coded it over a night.
