The only change made was a separation of the +cRSID header into a public and private one, so it could be compiled as a +library. You can find it as a separate commit in the git repository. This +likely needs to be updated whenever a newer version of cRSID shall be used. + +Currently, newer versions of cRSID are available but they have been discarded. +v1.1 mainly adds a high quality playback mode using 7x oversampling. This is +too much for a Sansa Clip. Because the old playback mode still exists, it might +be possible to add a runtime option to let the user choose. As a first step +however, it was decided to give the user a working codec without having to deal +with options. v1.2 mainly adds a SDL-based GUI player, no bigger changes in SID +emulation. Staying with v1.0 also keeps the codec size significantly lower +(~50KB for v1.0 vs ~90KB for v1.2 on the Sansa Clip). + +cRSID Releases can be found here: +https://csdb.dk/search/?seinsel=releases&search=crsid -- cgit v1.2.3
