Some history

Version 16.12 was the first version running as component of kdemultimedia. From now on Kwave will be official part of KDE Frameworks 5 and will follow the KDE releases.

Version 0.9.1 was the first version ported to KDE Frameworks 5.

Version 0.9 was the first version hosted on KDE servers.

Version 0.8 was the first version for KDE-4 / Qt-4, a nearly complete reimplementation.

Version 0.7 was the first one with recording support.

After the port from KDE-1 to KDE-2 (v0.5 to v0.6) Kwave has temporarily fallen back to alpha state and some of the features of the old v0.5 had to come back slowly, one by one. However, the program already seemed to be useful for many people for most all-day work.

The step from v0.5 to v0.6 was nearly a complete rewrite of the whole program and its internal architecture! The main focus was on robustness and a clean design, not on the pure amount of features.
