<h2>Changes up to version 4.3</h2>

  <div class=section>

    <h3>Disobedience</h3>

      <div class=section>

        <p>A bug was fixed in the calculation of how much of the track had
        played.  This would lead to the counter showing incorrect values in
        various situations.</p>

        <p>Disobedience's icons have been changed to larger, more colorful
        ones.  The SVG source is included if you want to fiddle with them.</p>

        <p>&ldquo;Select all&rdquo; is now no longer available in the choose
        tab.  Instead there is a new &ldquo;Select children&rdquo; option which
        selects the file children of a single subdirectory.</p>

      </div>

    <h3>Server</h3>

      <div class=section>

        <p>The selection bias for newly added tracks was reduced by half.  You
        can put it back to the old very neophilic value with
        &ldquo;<tt>new_bias 900000</tt>&rdquo; in the config file.</p>

        <p>It is now possible to &lsquo;adopt&rsquo; randomly picked tracks.
        Disobedience and the command-line client support this but the web
        interface does not.</p>

        <p>The default track name parsing was modified to handle filenames
        generated by iTunes.</p>
        
      </div>

    <h3>Miscellaneous</h3>

      <div class=section>

        <p><tt>disorderfm</tt> now preserves directory permissions.</p>

        <p>DisOrder is now licensed under <a
         href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html">GPL v3</a>.  The main
        goal is to prohibit <a
         href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tivoization">Tivoization</a>.</p>

        <p>The build system will now automatically cope with Fink's broken GTK+
        packages.  There are a number of improvements to the Debian
        packaging.</p>

        <p>DisOrder now builds on 64-bit Linux systems.</p>

        <p>There are various minor fixes.</p>

      </div>

<h2>Changes up to version 4.2</h2>

<div class=section>

  <h3>Disobedience</h3>
  
    <div class=section>

      <p>The login window now has a 'remote' switch.  If this is turned off
      then Disobedience will connect to a local server.  Formerly it would
      always use TCP/IP.</p>

      <p>The Delete and backspace keys will now remove tracks from the queue.
      Escape will now dismiss the properties, users or login windows and return
      now works in the login and properties windows.</p>
      
    </div>

  <h3>Documentation</h3>
  
    <div class=section>

      <p>Track and global preferences are now described in a new
      <b>disorder_preferences</b>(5) man page.</p>
      
    </div>

  <h3>Bugs fixed</h3>
  
    <div class=section>

      <table class=bugs>

<h2>Changes up to version 4.1.1</h2>

<div class=section>

  <p>Disobedience's &ldquo;Login&rdquo; window now works when you are logged
  in.</p>
  
</div>

<h2>Changes up to version 4.1</h2>

<div class=section>

  <h3>Disobedience</h3>
  
    <div class=section>
  
      <p>Disobedience has been largely rewritten:</p>

      <ul>
        
        <li>All the tabs now use native GTK+ list/tree widgets, resulting in
        greater speed in some cases and more consistency with other GTK+
        applications.</li>

        <li>You can now use type-ahead find in the choose tab.  The initiation
        of a search is delayed slightly to avoid lots of updates when you're
        half way through entering search terms.</li>

        <li>The choose tab now shows track lengths.</li>
    
        <li>Many buttons are now more reliably made insensitive when they can't
        be used.</li>

        <li>You can now play tracks off the recent tab.</li>
        
      </ul>
      
      <p>Disobedience attempts to cope with servers from older versions, up to
      a point, but this is not well tested and it's best to keep the server
      fully up to date.</p>

    </div>
     
  <h3>Server</h3>
  
    <div class=section>

      <p>When a track shares a directory with its alias, the real track name is
      now returned instead of the alias (the opposite way round to the previous
      behaviour).</p>
      
    </div>
</div>

<h2>Changes up to version 4.0.2</h2>

<div class=section>

  <p>Corrected web browser linked from Disobedience.</p>
  
</div>

<h2>Changes up to version 4.0.1</h2>

<div class=section>

  <p>Libtool and Automake now install the CGI correctly.  As part of this,
  <tt>cgidir</tt> has been renamed to <tt>cgiexecdir</tt>.  The configure
  script will report an error if you try to use the old name.</p>
  
</div>

<h2>Changes up to version 4.0</h2>

<div class=section>

  <h3>Server</h3>

<div class=section>
  
  <p>The <tt>gap</tt> directive will no longer work.  It could be
  restored if there is real demand.</p>
  
  <h4>Event Scheduling</h4>

<div class=section>

  <p>It is now possible to schedule events to occur in the future.
  Currently the supported actions are playing a specific track, and
  changing a global preference (thus allowing e.g. random play to be
  turned on or off).  See the <tt>schedule-*</tt>
  commands described in disorder(1).</p>

</div>

<h4>Random Track Choice</h4>

<div class=section>

  <p>This has been completely rewritten to support new features:</p>

  <ul>

    <li>tracks in the recently-played list or in the queue are no longer
    eligible for random choice.</li>

    <li>there is a new <tt>weight</tt> track preference allowing for
    non-uniform track selection.  See disorder(1) for details.</li>

    <li>there is a new configuration item <tt>replay_min</tt> defining
    the minimum time before a played track can be picked at random.
    The default is 8 hours (which matches the earlier behaviour).</li>

    <li>recently added tracks are biased up; see <tt>new_bias</tt> and
    <tt>new_bias_age</tt> in disorder_config(5).</li>

  </ul>

</div>

<h4>Web Interface</h4>

<div class=section>

  <p>This has been largely rewritten.  The most immediate benefits are:</p>

  <ul>
    
    <li>the search page is integrated into the choose page, and
    includes links to parent directories.</li>
    
    <li>if you try to do something you have insufficient rights for,
    instead of getting an error page or nothing happening, you are
    redirected to the login page.</li>

  </ul>

  <p>Customizers should find their lives easier: the syntax is less onerous, it
  is possible to define macros to avoid repetition, and the documentation is
  less monolithic (see disorder.cgi(8) as a starting point).</p>

  <p>Mail is now sent via the system sendmail program, though it remains
  possible to use TCP to connect to an SMTP server.  See <tt>sendmail</tt> and
  <tt>smtp_server</tt> in disorder_config(5).</p>

  <p>The web interface is now installed automatically.  If you don't want it,
  use <tt>./configure --without-cgi</tt>.  If you want it in a non-default
  location, or no location for it is detected, set <tt>cgidir</tt>
  and <tt>httpdir</tt> on the <tt>./configure</tt> command line.</p>
  
</div>

</div>

<h3>Disobedience</h3>

<div class=section>

  <p>There is now a new user management window.  From here you can add and
  remove users or modify their settings.</p>

  <p>Relatedly, the server will only allow remote user management if you set
  <tt>remote_userman</tt> to <tt>yes</tt>.</p>

</div>

<h3>Miscellaneous</h3>

<div class=section>

  <p><tt>scripts/setup</tt> now honors command line options, and can
  set up network play as well as the local default sound device.</p>

</div>

</div>

</div>

<h2>Changes up to version 3.0.2</h2>

<div class=section>

  <p>Builds <tt>--without-server</tt> should work again.</p>

  <p>The web interface is a bit more liberal in the cookie value
  syntax it will accept.</p>

  <p>Clients fail more gracefully if no password is available.</p>

</div>

<h2>Changes up to version 3.0.1</h2>

<div class=section>
  
  <p>Debian upgrades from 2.0.x should now work better.</p>
  
</div>

<h2>Changes up to version 3.0</h2>

<div class=section>
  
  <p><b>Important</b>!  See <a
  href="README.upgrades">README.upgrades</a> when upgrading.</p>
  
  <h3>Platforms And Installation</h3>
  
<div class=section>
  
  <p>Mac OS X and FreeBSD are somewhat supported.  There is now a bash
  script in <tt>scripts/setup</tt> which will automate the setup after
  <tt>make install</tt>.</p>
  
</div>

<h3>Server</h3>

<div class=section>
  
  <p>Users are now stored in the database rather than a configuration
  file.</p>
  
  <p>The server now has a built-in list of stopwords and players, so
  only additions to these need be mentioned in the configuration file.</p>
  
  <p>The default inter-track gap is now 0s.</p>
  
  <p>How sound is played is now controlled via the new <tt>api</tt>
  configuration command.  This also controls how the volume is set,
  which now works with ALSA as well as OSS.</p>
  
  <p>A bug in the MP3 decoder was fixed (also in 2.0.4).</p>
  
</div>

<h3>Web Interface</h3>

<div class=section>
  
  <p>The web interface now uses cookies to remember user identity, and
  allows online registration of new users.  Also it is no longer
  necessary to manually specify the URL of the web interface (but you
  can override it if you don't like the value it figures out).</p>
  
  <p>It is possible to allow users to register via the web interface.</p>
  
  <p>The web interface's browser support has been improved.  It has
  been tested with Firefox 2, Safari 3, Konqueror 3, Internet Explorer
  7 and Opera 9.</p>
  
</div>

<h3>Disobedience</h3>

<div class=section>

  <p>A bug which would cause a crash if you attempt to rearrange the
  queue while no track was playing has been fixed.  There is a new
  'deselect all tracks' option, mirroring 'select all tracks.</p>
  
</div>

	256
	257	<p>Disobedience has been largely rewritten:</p>
	258
	259	<ul>
	260
	261	<li>All the tabs now use native GTK+ list/tree widgets, resulting in
	262	greater speed in some cases and more consistency with other GTK+
	263	applications.</li>
	264
	265	<li>You can now use type-ahead find in the choose tab. The initiation
	266	of a search is delayed slightly to avoid lots of updates when you're
	267	half way through entering search terms.</li>
	268
	269	<li>The choose tab now shows track lengths.</li>
	270
	271	<li>Many buttons are now more reliably made insensitive when they can't
	272	be used.</li>
30f2f8c9 RK	273
	274	<li>You can now play tracks off the recent tab.</li>
	275
452ad6ba RK	276	</ul>
	277
	278	<p>Disobedience attempts to cope with servers from older versions, up to
	279	a point, but this is not well tested and it's best to keep the server
	280	fully up to date.</p>

	284	<h3>Server</h3>
	285
	286	<div class=section>

	320
	321	<p>The <tt>gap</tt> directive will no longer work. It could be
	322	restored if there is real demand.</p>
	323
	324	<h4>Event Scheduling</h4>
	325
	326	<div class=section>
	327
	328	<p>It is now possible to schedule events to occur in the future.
	329	Currently the supported actions are playing a specific track, and
	330	changing a global preference (thus allowing e.g. random play to be
	331	turned on or off). See the <tt>schedule-*</tt>
	332	commands described in disorder(1).</p>
	333
	334	</div>
	335
	336	<h4>Random Track Choice</h4>
	337
	338	<div class=section>
	339
	340	<p>This has been completely rewritten to support new features:</p>
	341
	342	<ul>
	343
	344	<li>tracks in the recently-played list or in the queue are no longer
	345	eligible for random choice.</li>
	346
	347	<li>there is a new <tt>weight</tt> track preference allowing for
	348	non-uniform track selection. See disorder(1) for details.</li>
	349
	350	<li>there is a new configuration item <tt>replay_min</tt> defining
	351	the minimum time before a played track can be picked at random.
	352	The default is 8 hours (which matches the earlier behaviour).</li>
	353
	354	<li>recently added tracks are biased up; see <tt>new_bias</tt> and
	355	<tt>new_bias_age</tt> in disorder_config(5).</li>

	360
	361	<h4>Web Interface</h4>
	362
	363	<div class=section>
	364
	365	<p>This has been largely rewritten. The most immediate benefits are:</p>
	366
	367	<ul>
	368
	369	<li>the search page is integrated into the choose page, and
	370	includes links to parent directories.</li>
	371
	372	<li>if you try to do something you have insufficient rights for,
	373	instead of getting an error page or nothing happening, you are
	374	redirected to the login page.</li>
	375
	376	</ul>
	377
378	<p>Customizers should find their lives easier: the syntax is less onerous, it
379	is possible to define macros to avoid repetition, and the documentation is
380	less monolithic (see disorder.cgi(8) as a starting point).</p>
381
2eee4b0c RK	382	<p>Mail is now sent via the system sendmail program, though it remains
	383	possible to use TCP to connect to an SMTP server. See <tt>sendmail</tt> and
	384	<tt>smtp_server</tt> in disorder_config(5).</p>
4cbafe13	385
64ac73bb RK	386	<p>The web interface is now installed automatically. If you don't want it,
	387	use <tt>./configure --without-cgi</tt>. If you want it in a non-default
	388	location, or no location for it is detected, set <tt>cgidir</tt>
	389	and <tt>httpdir</tt> on the <tt>./configure</tt> command line.</p>

516	<p>The default inter-track gap is now 0s.</p>
517
518	<p>How sound is played is now controlled via the new <tt>api</tt>
519	configuration command. This also controls how the volume is set,
520	which now works with ALSA as well as OSS.</p>

533	can override it if you don't like the value it figures out).</p>
534
535	<p>It is possible to allow users to register via the web interface.</p>
536
537	<p>The web interface's browser support has been improved. It has
538	been tested with Firefox 2, Safari 3, Konqueror 3, Internet Explorer
539	7 and Opera 9.</p>
