This was the readme file that came with 1.02
 
Problems fixed in 1.02
- Several problems and omissions related to the track Time+ parameter
  were addressed.
- The first step-recorded event would always be at 1:1:0, even if
  step-recording were started at a time other than 1:1:0.
- Many larger CAL programs would experience out of memory errors when
  run from the CAL notepad vs. run from the "Edit/Run CAL program" 
  command.  Changes were made to allow much greater capacity, though 
  you may notice a decrease in speed.
- Auto-save now consistently places the AUTOSAVE.WRK in the
  WorkFileDir directory specified in WINCAKE.INI, or if that isn't 
  defined, in the WINCAKE.EXE directory, rather than in whatever 
  happens to be the current directory when auto-save kicks in.
- The $DEFAULT.WRK file (used by the File/New command) needed to be in
  the current directory to be recognized.  Now, it can and must be 
  located in the WorkFileDir directory.  If you haven't specified a 
  WorkFileDir in your WINCAKE.INI file, then this directory is the 
  same directory in which the WINCAKE.EXE program file is located.
- Opening too many and/or too "dense" Staff views could result in a 
  series of many "Out of memory" errors in a row.  Now, a single error 
  message is presented, after which the Staff view closes itself.  But 
  more importantly, it is extremely unlikely that this out-of-memory 
  situation will occur at all.
- "Settings/Channel table" would assert the same MIDI channel for all 
  destination tracks, instead of giving each track an appropriate 
  forced MIDI channel.- "Track/Clone" would not clone a track name. 
  Checking the option to clone "Events" when the track had no events 
  could result in an Unexpected Application Error.
- Loading of Cakewalk 4.0 workfiles containing meter changes and 
  having a timebase of 480 could result in an incorrect meter map.


Features added in 1.02
- The "Edit/Controller fill" command was added.  This will be familiar 
  to users of Cakewalk for DOS.  Even though you can draw controller 
  shapes quickly and easily in Cakewalk Professional for Windows' 
  Controllers view, the command can still be useful in some 
  situations. Please see on-line help for more information because the 
  printed manual does not discuss this command.
- The "Send MIDI Start/Continue/Stop/Clock" option from "Settings/MIDI 
  Out" is now saved in workfiles. (Cakewalk 4.0E does not support 
  this.)
- In addition to the SendLocalOff setting in the [OPTIONS] 
  section of TTSSEQ.INI, which sends a Local Control OFF message on 
  program startup, there is now a SendLocalOn setting.  If you set 
  this to 1, then a Local Control ON message will be sent on program
  exit.
- Multi-take mode now tries to preserve any existing track name and 
  append "take N" to the end of that name, rather than replacing it.
- In the Piano-roll view, notes with very short durations are 
  displayed as if they had a duration of at least a 32nd note, so that 
  they aren't completely invisible at most time-zoom settings.
