Download Winamp 3 Alpha 667

2wicejr writes to us that after a period of silence the people of Winamp have released another alpha release of Winamp 3. As expected, quite a few things have changed:

– autodetects MMX, no need for separate noMMX version any more

– immediate music stop on shutdown

– fixed systray ASSERT on WINE & litestep

– mouse wheel scrolling for list windows

– scripting:

– engine speedups

– mc.exe supports #include, #define, #undef, #ifdef, etc.

– skinning:

– fx objects (like dmove) work on subbitmaps

– faster blitting

– more options for various GUI objects

– F5 reloads current skin

– BMP files work again (bleh… use PNG)

– basic translation of strings, not everything is translated yet

– keyboard accelerator keys

– text scale up/down (use control-minus and control+equals)

– truetype font loading from skins works again (no need to install into OS)

– skin colors overriding in skins should work again

– new script included: MiniKick

– skin switcher! with preliminary wa2 skin loading support (not finished)

– skin version # checking

– select duplicates command in playlist editor

– memory usage cut down in general

– config screen almost ready (not in this alpha, tho

– lots and lots of other internals stuff you won’t see until the SDK
