20 | ||
21 | <h3>PulseAudio support</h3> | |
22 | ||
23 | <div class=section> | |
24 | ||
25 | <p>PulseAudio is now supported, if the support library is available at | |
26 | build time. It is the default for client applications, reflecting its | |
27 | widespread use in desktop environments.</p> | |
28 | ||
29 | <p>Volume settings is not currently supported when PulseAudio is in | |
30 | use.</p> | |
31 | ||
32 | </div> | |
33 | ||
34 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> | |
35 | ||
36 | <div class=section> | |
37 | ||
38 | <p>Disobedience now has a menu to select the network playback API.</p> | |
39 | ||

41 | ||
42 | <h3><code>disorder-playrtp</code></h3> | |
43 | ||
44 | <div class=section> | |
45 | ||

56 | <h3>Bug fixes</h3> | |
57 | ||
58 | <div class=section> | |
59 | ||
60 | <ul> | |
61 | <li><code>player</code> and <code>tracklength</code> can now be used | |
62 | without arguments to clear the lists, as per the documentation.</li> | |
63 | ||
64 | <li>Tracks without a player are forgotten upon rescan.</li> | |
65 | ||
66 | <li>The speaker process avoids splitting frames.</li> | |
67 | </ul> | |
68 | ||

75 | <h2>Changes up to version 5.1</h2> |
76 | ||
77 | <div class=section> | |
78 | ||
79 | <h3>Removable Device Support</h3> | |
80 | ||
81 | <div class=section> | |
82 | ||
83 | <p>The server will now automatically initiate a rescan when a filesystem is | |
8488cf7d RK |
84 | mounted or unmounted. (Use the <tt>mount_rescan</tt> option if you want to |
85 | suppress this behavior.)</p> | |
5bb003c8 RK |
86 | |
87 | <p>The server takes care not to hold audio files open unnecessarily, so | |
88 | that devices can be unmounted even if tracks from them are currently being | |
89 | buffered.</p> | |
90 | ||
91 | </div> | |
92 | ||
5568dfa8 RK |
93 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> |
94 | ||
95 | <div class=section> | |
96 | ||
97 | <p>You can now edit the <tt>required-tags</tt> and <tt>prohibited-tags</tt> | |
98 | global preferences in Disobedience | |
99 | (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/disorder/issues/detail?id=29">issue | |
100 | #29</a>).</p> | |
101 | ||
164f2e93 RK |
102 | <p>The “Manage users” option is now more reliably greyed out if |
103 | it will not work. This depends on a server change too, so it may still be | |
104 | wrong if a new Disobedience is used against an old server.</p> | |
51827ce3 RK |
105 | |
106 | <p>A <tt>.desktop</tt> file is now shipped, making Disobedience visible as | |
107 | an application in freedesktop.org-compliant systems.</p> | |

111 | <h3>Backups</h3> |
112 | ||
113 | <div class=section> | |
114 | ||
115 | <p>The Debian package now includes a cronjob that backs up the database | |
116 | daily. See <tt>/etc/cron.d/disorder</tt>. You can put settings | |
117 | in <tt>/etc/default/disorder</tt> to turn this off or to control how long | |
118 | the backups are kept for.</p> | |
119 | ||
120 | <p>The <tt>disorder-dump -r</tt> option was broken.</p> | |
121 | ||
5568dfa8 | 122 | <p><tt>disorder-dump</tt> now gets permissions right automatically (<a |

138 | <p>The following have been removed:</p> |
139 | ||
140 | <ul> | |
141 | ||
142 | <li>The <tt>allow</tt>, <tt>gap</tt>, <tt>lock</tt>, <tt>prefsync</tt>, | |
143 | <tt>restrict</tt>, <tt>trust</tt> configuration commands. If they still | |
144 | appear in your configuration file then the server will not start.</li> | |
145 | ||
146 | <li>The <tt>columns</tt> web interface option. It will generate an | |
147 | message in your error log but otherwise be ignored.</li> | |
148 | ||
149 | <li>The <tt>--wait-for-device</tt> player option. If it still appears in | |
150 | any player commands, they will not work.</li> | |
151 | ||
152 | <li>Support for automatically importing pre-3.0 users.</li> | |
153 | ||

205 | 27</a>.</p> | |
f207f710 | 206 | |
f71fc3ab | 207 | <p>Gapless play should be more reliable, and playback latency over RTP |
6762ac8a | 208 | should be a bit lower. Note though that all the sound output code has |
f71fc3ab | 209 | been reorganized and in some cases completely rewritten, so it's possible |
900fa0b8 RK |
210 | that bugs may have been (re-)introduced. Decoding of scratches is also |
211 | initiated ahead of time, giving more reliable playback.</p> | |
7cd4dd21 RK |
212 | |
213 | <p>The <tt>command</tt> backend now (optionally) sends silence instead | |
214 | of suspending writes when a pause occurs or no track is playing.</p> | |
c3feb35b RK |
215 | |
216 | <p>If <a href="http://www.mega-nerd.com/SRC/">libsamplerate</a> is | |

317dc3e8 RK |

536 | ||
537 | <div class=section> | |
538 | ||
539 | <p>Disobedience has been largely rewritten:</p> | |
540 | ||
541 | <ul> | |
542 | ||
543 | <li>All the tabs now use native GTK+ list/tree widgets, resulting in | |
544 | greater speed in some cases and more consistency with other GTK+ | |
545 | applications.</li> | |
546 | ||
547 | <li>You can now use type-ahead find in the choose tab. The initiation | |
548 | of a search is delayed slightly to avoid lots of updates when you're | |
549 | half way through entering search terms.</li> | |
550 | ||
551 | <li>The choose tab now shows track lengths.</li> | |
552 | ||
553 | <li>Many buttons are now more reliably made insensitive when they can't | |
554 | be used.</li> | |
30f2f8c9 RK |
555 | |
556 | <li>You can now play tracks off the recent tab.</li> | |
557 | ||
452ad6ba RK |
558 | </ul> |
559 | ||
560 | <p>Disobedience attempts to cope with servers from older versions, up to | |
561 | a point, but this is not well tested and it's best to keep the server | |
562 | fully up to date.</p> | |
563 | ||
564 | </div> | |
565 | ||
566 | <h3>Server</h3> | |
567 | ||
568 | <div class=section> | |
569 | ||
570 | <p>When a track shares a directory with its alias, the real track name is | |

572 | behaviour).</p> | |

600 | ||
601 | <div class=section> | |
602 | ||
603 | <p>The <tt>gap</tt> directive will no longer work. It could be | |
604 | restored if there is real demand.</p> | |
605 | ||
606 | <h4>Event Scheduling</h4> | |
607 | ||
608 | <div class=section> | |
609 | ||
610 | <p>It is now possible to schedule events to occur in the future. | |
611 | Currently the supported actions are playing a specific track, and | |
612 | changing a global preference (thus allowing e.g. random play to be | |
613 | turned on or off). See the <tt>schedule-*</tt> | |
614 | commands described in disorder(1).</p> | |
615 | ||
616 | </div> | |
617 | ||
618 | <h4>Random Track Choice</h4> | |
619 | ||
620 | <div class=section> | |
621 | ||
622 | <p>This has been completely rewritten to support new features:</p> | |
623 | ||
624 | <ul> | |
625 | ||
626 | <li>tracks in the recently-played list or in the queue are no longer | |
627 | eligible for random choice.</li> | |
628 | ||
629 | <li>there is a new <tt>weight</tt> track preference allowing for | |
630 | non-uniform track selection. See disorder(1) for details.</li> | |
631 | ||
632 | <li>there is a new configuration item <tt>replay_min</tt> defining | |
633 | the minimum time before a played track can be picked at random. | |
634 | The default is 8 hours (which matches the earlier behaviour).</li> | |
635 | ||
636 | <li>recently added tracks are biased up; see <tt>new_bias</tt> and | |
637 | <tt>new_bias_age</tt> in disorder_config(5).</li> | |
638 | ||
639 | </ul> | |
640 | ||
641 | </div> | |
642 | ||
643 | <h4>Web Interface</h4> | |
644 | ||
645 | <div class=section> | |
646 | ||
647 | <p>This has been largely rewritten. The most immediate benefits are:</p> | |
648 | ||
649 | <ul> | |
650 | ||
651 | <li>the search page is integrated into the choose page, and | |
652 | includes links to parent directories.</li> | |
653 | ||
654 | <li>if you try to do something you have insufficient rights for, | |
655 | instead of getting an error page or nothing happening, you are | |
656 | redirected to the login page.</li> | |
657 | ||
658 | </ul> | |
659 | ||
660 | <p>Customizers should find their lives easier: the syntax is less onerous, it | |
661 | is possible to define macros to avoid repetition, and the documentation is | |
662 | less monolithic (see disorder.cgi(8) as a starting point).</p> | |
663 | ||
2eee4b0c RK |
664 | <p>Mail is now sent via the system sendmail program, though it remains |
665 | possible to use TCP to connect to an SMTP server. See <tt>sendmail</tt> and | |
666 | <tt>smtp_server</tt> in disorder_config(5).</p> | |
4cbafe13 | 667 | |
64ac73bb RK |
668 | <p>The web interface is now installed automatically. If you don't want it, |
669 | use <tt>./configure --without-cgi</tt>. If you want it in a non-default | |
670 | location, or no location for it is detected, set <tt>cgidir</tt> | |
671 | and <tt>httpdir</tt> on the <tt>./configure</tt> command line.</p> | |

680 | ||
681 | <p>There is now a new user management window. From here you can add and | |
682 | remove users or modify their settings.</p> | |
683 | ||
684 | <p>Relatedly, the server will only allow remote user management if you set | |
685 | <tt>remote_userman</tt> to <tt>yes</tt>.</p> | |

778 | <h3>Platforms And Installation</h3> | |
779 | ||
780 | <div class=section> | |
781 | ||
782 | <p>Mac OS X and FreeBSD are somewhat supported. There is now a bash | |
783 | script in <tt>scripts/setup</tt> which will automate the setup after | |
784 | <tt>make install</tt>.</p> | |

788 | <h3>Server</h3> | |
789 | ||
790 | <div class=section> | |
791 | ||
792 | <p>Users are now stored in the database rather than a configuration | |
793 | file.</p> | |
794 | ||
795 | <p>The server now has a built-in list of stopwords and players, so | |
796 | only additions to these need be mentioned in the configuration file.</p> | |
797 | ||
798 | <p>The default inter-track gap is now 0s.</p> | |
799 | ||
800 | <p>How sound is played is now controlled via the new <tt>api</tt> | |
801 | configuration command. This also controls how the volume is set, | |
802 | which now works with ALSA as well as OSS.</p> | |
803 | ||
804 | <p>A bug in the MP3 decoder was fixed (also in 2.0.4).</p> | |
805 | ||
806 | </div> | |
807 | ||
808 | <h3>Web Interface</h3> | |
809 | ||
810 | <div class=section> | |
811 | ||
812 | <p>The web interface now uses cookies to remember user identity, and | |
813 | allows online registration of new users. Also it is no longer | |
814 | necessary to manually specify the URL of the web interface (but you | |
815 | can override it if you don't like the value it figures out).</p> | |
816 | ||
817 | <p>It is possible to allow users to register via the web interface.</p> | |
818 | ||
819 | <p>The web interface's browser support has been improved. It has | |
820 | been tested with Firefox 2, Safari 3, Konqueror 3, Internet Explorer | |
821 | 7 and Opera 9.</p> | |
