May 16th, 2013· Although version 3.2 was built for Mac OS X 10.7 or later, the system requirements did not reflect this. This issue has been corrected.
· Cosmetic improvements.
April 19th, 2013· Electroacoustics Toolbox now offers two additional tools for sale within the app. These new tools include a Room Acoustics Analyzer and a Noise Dosimeter (similar to the Dosimeter tool offered in earlier versions of the Toolbox).
· The new Room Analyzer tool employs the integrated impulse response method for calculating the acoustical parameters of a room. Schroeder reverse integration of the squared impulse response produces a decay curve, from which the Room Analyzer calculates reverberation time (RT60), early decay time (EDT), center time (Ts), clarity, and definition for the entire audio frequency band and in whole or 1/3-octave frequency bands.
· The Noise Dosimeter tool measures daily noise dose according to standard methods (a calibrated measurement microphone is required to make repeatable, accurate measurements). The noise dosimeter offers criterion sound levels of 80, 85, and 90 dB with 3, 4, and 5 dB exchange rates.
· Version 3.2 also fixes various bugs.

· The reference delay value in the Dual FFT Analyzer tool's function table is presented with greater precision.
May 7th, 2010Version 2.1.8 is a maintenance release that improves the stability of the application:
· Dual FFT Analyzer: Added AppleScript access to the IR data window indices in the individual dual fft analyzer objects.
· Dual FFT Analyzer: The windowed IR FFT length is now set somewhat arbitrarily to be as small as possible for the selected IR window. It is no longer constrained to be one of the user-selectable FFT lengths.
· Dual FFT Analyzer: When the source or reference channel of a Dual FFT Analyzer channel gets set via AppleScript, the channel's sensitivity, units, and label values also get refreshed.
· Dual FFT Analyzer: The time and time shift vectors are written with the correct (effective) sample period when data is exported to mat or text files.
