Mr. Voice 2.2 Released

Posted by Wade Minter at Tuesday April 18, 2006 at 08:55 PM

Mr. Voice 2.2 has been released! This is a moderate upgrade release, with the main focus being on integration with this new website. There is a slight database schema change handled the first time you run the program, but run a database backup on your old version before installing this one just to be on the safe side. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this release, as support for Mr. Voice Online in older versions will probably go away with the next release (2.3).

Releases are available for Windows 2000+, Fedora Core 4+, and MacOS X 10.4. Support for Fedora Core 3 and MacOS X 10.3 have been dropped (though the source release should work on those).

Changes include:

*) A new option under the Online Preferences to edit the XML-RPC (Mr. Voice Online) URL that is used (in case I need to change it again). It was hardcoded into the program before.

*) Fixed bugs that were causing strange quote marks to appear in song and category names.

*) Display the song filename in the "Edit Song" menu. Suggested by Bill in Portland.

*) Display the time of a song next to the hotkey listing. Suggested by Ted in Chapel Hill.

*) Added an option under the File menu to export the song list from your Mr. Voice database as either a text file or Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Suggested by Ted in Chapel Hill.
