65 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> | |
66 | ||
67 | <div class=section> | |
68 | ||
69 | <p>A bug was fixed in the calculation of how much of the track had | |
70 | played. This would lead to the counter incorrectly resetting to 0:00 | |
71 | from whenever anything about the queue changed.</p> | |
72 | ||
73 | <p>Disobedience's icons have been changed to larger, more colorful | |
74 | ones. The SVG source is included if you want to fiddle with them.</p> | |
75 | ||
a0e78d96 RK |
76 | <p>“Select all” is now no longer available in the choose |
77 | tab. Instead there is a new “Select children” option which | |
78 | selects the file children of a single subdirectory.</p> | |

82 | <h3>Server</h3> |
83 | ||
84 | <div class=section> | |
85 | ||
86 | <p>The selection bias for newly added tracks was reduced by half. You | |
87 | can put it back to the old very neophilic value with | |
88 | “<tt>new_bias 900000</tt>” in the config file.</p> | |
89 | ||
ff45af7c RK |
90 | <p>It is now possible to ‘adopt’ randomly picked tracks. |
91 | Disobedience and the command-line client support this but the web | |
92 | interface does not.</p> | |

100 | <p>DisOrder is now licensed under <a |
101 | href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html">GPL v3</a>. The main | |
102 | goal is to prohibit <a | |

104 | ||

105 | <p>The build system will now automatically cope with Fink's broken GTK+ |
106 | packages.</p> | |
107 | ||
108 | <p>There are some minor fixes to the test suite.</p> | |

121 | ||
122 | <p>The login window now has a 'remote' switch. If this is turned off | |
123 | then Disobedience will connect to a local server. Formerly it would | |
124 | always use TCP/IP.</p> | |
125 | ||
126 | <p>The Delete and backspace keys will now remove tracks from the queue. | |
127 | Escape will now dismiss the properties, users or login windows and return | |
128 | now works in the login and properties windows.</p> | |

162 | ||
163 | <div class=section> | |
164 | ||
165 | <p>Disobedience's “Login” window now works when you are logged | |
166 | in.</p> | |

174 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> | |
175 | ||
176 | <div class=section> | |
177 | ||
178 | <p>Disobedience has been largely rewritten:</p> | |
179 | ||
180 | <ul> | |
181 | ||
182 | <li>All the tabs now use native GTK+ list/tree widgets, resulting in | |
183 | greater speed in some cases and more consistency with other GTK+ | |
184 | applications.</li> | |
185 | ||
186 | <li>You can now use type-ahead find in the choose tab. The initiation | |
187 | of a search is delayed slightly to avoid lots of updates when you're | |
188 | half way through entering search terms.</li> | |
189 | ||
190 | <li>The choose tab now shows track lengths.</li> | |
191 | ||
192 | <li>Many buttons are now more reliably made insensitive when they can't | |
193 | be used.</li> | |
30f2f8c9 RK |
194 | |
195 | <li>You can now play tracks off the recent tab.</li> | |
196 | ||
452ad6ba RK |
197 | </ul> |
198 | ||
199 | <p>Disobedience attempts to cope with servers from older versions, up to | |
200 | a point, but this is not well tested and it's best to keep the server | |
201 | fully up to date.</p> | |
202 | ||
203 | </div> | |
204 | ||
205 | <h3>Server</h3> | |
206 | ||
207 | <div class=section> | |
208 | ||
209 | <p>When a track shares a directory with its alias, the real track name is | |
210 | now returned instead of the alias (the opposite way round to the previous | |
211 | behaviour).</p> | |

225 | ||
226 | <div class=section> | |
227 | ||
228 | <p>Libtool and Automake now install the CGI correctly. As part of this, | |
229 | <tt>cgidir</tt> has been renamed to <tt>cgiexecdir</tt>. The configure | |
230 | script will report an error if you try to use the old name.</p> | |

237 | ||
238 | <h3>Server</h3> | |
239 | ||
240 | <div class=section> | |
241 | ||
242 | <p>The <tt>gap</tt> directive will no longer work. It could be | |
243 | restored if there is real demand.</p> | |
244 | ||
245 | <h4>Event Scheduling</h4> | |
246 | ||
247 | <div class=section> | |
248 | ||
249 | <p>It is now possible to schedule events to occur in the future. | |
250 | Currently the supported actions are playing a specific track, and | |
251 | changing a global preference (thus allowing e.g. random play to be | |
252 | turned on or off). See the <tt>schedule-*</tt> | |
253 | commands described in disorder(1).</p> | |
254 | ||
255 | </div> | |
256 | ||
257 | <h4>Random Track Choice</h4> | |
258 | ||
259 | <div class=section> | |
260 | ||
261 | <p>This has been completely rewritten to support new features:</p> | |
262 | ||
263 | <ul> | |
264 | ||
265 | <li>tracks in the recently-played list or in the queue are no longer | |
266 | eligible for random choice.</li> | |
267 | ||
268 | <li>there is a new <tt>weight</tt> track preference allowing for | |
269 | non-uniform track selection. See disorder(1) for details.</li> | |
270 | ||
271 | <li>there is a new configuration item <tt>replay_min</tt> defining | |
272 | the minimum time before a played track can be picked at random. | |
273 | The default is 8 hours (which matches the earlier behaviour).</li> | |
274 | ||
275 | <li>recently added tracks are biased up; see <tt>new_bias</tt> and | |
276 | <tt>new_bias_age</tt> in disorder_config(5).</li> | |
277 | ||
278 | </ul> | |
279 | ||
280 | </div> | |
281 | ||
282 | <h4>Web Interface</h4> | |
283 | ||
284 | <div class=section> | |
285 | ||
286 | <p>This has been largely rewritten. The most immediate benefits are:</p> | |
287 | ||
288 | <ul> | |
289 | ||
290 | <li>the search page is integrated into the choose page, and | |
291 | includes links to parent directories.</li> | |
292 | ||
293 | <li>if you try to do something you have insufficient rights for, | |
294 | instead of getting an error page or nothing happening, you are | |
295 | redirected to the login page.</li> | |
296 | ||
297 | </ul> | |
298 | ||
299 | <p>Customizers should find their lives easier: the syntax is less onerous, it | |
300 | is possible to define macros to avoid repetition, and the documentation is | |
301 | less monolithic (see disorder.cgi(8) as a starting point).</p> | |
302 | ||
2eee4b0c RK |
303 | <p>Mail is now sent via the system sendmail program, though it remains |
304 | possible to use TCP to connect to an SMTP server. See <tt>sendmail</tt> and | |
305 | <tt>smtp_server</tt> in disorder_config(5).</p> | |
4cbafe13 | 306 | |
64ac73bb RK |
307 | <p>The web interface is now installed automatically. If you don't want it, |
308 | use <tt>./configure --without-cgi</tt>. If you want it in a non-default | |
309 | location, or no location for it is detected, set <tt>cgidir</tt> | |
310 | and <tt>httpdir</tt> on the <tt>./configure</tt> command line.</p> | |

316 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> | |
317 | ||
318 | <div class=section> | |
319 | ||
320 | <p>There is now a new user management window. From here you can add and | |
321 | remove users or modify their settings.</p> | |
322 | ||
323 | <p>Relatedly, the server will only allow remote user management if you set | |
324 | <tt>remote_userman</tt> to <tt>yes</tt>.</p> | |
325 | ||
326 | </div> | |
327 | ||
328 | <h3>Miscellaneous</h3> | |
329 | ||
330 | <div class=section> | |
331 | ||
332 | <p><tt>scripts/setup</tt> now honors command line options, and can | |
333 | set up network play as well as the local default sound device.</p> | |

392 | ||
393 | <p>Builds <tt>--without-server</tt> should work again.</p> | |
394 | ||
395 | <p>The web interface is a bit more liberal in the cookie value | |
396 | syntax it will accept.</p> | |

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

413 | ||
414 | <p><b>Important</b>! See <a | |
415 | href="README.upgrades">README.upgrades</a> when upgrading.</p> | |
416 | ||
417 | <h3>Platforms And Installation</h3> | |
418 | ||
419 | <div class=section> | |
420 | ||
421 | <p>Mac OS X and FreeBSD are somewhat supported. There is now a bash | |
422 | script in <tt>scripts/setup</tt> which will automate the setup after | |
423 | <tt>make install</tt>.</p> | |
424 | ||
425 | </div> | |
426 | ||
427 | <h3>Server</h3> | |
428 | ||
429 | <div class=section> | |
430 | ||
431 | <p>Users are now stored in the database rather than a configuration | |
432 | file.</p> | |
433 | ||
434 | <p>The server now has a built-in list of stopwords and players, so | |
435 | only additions to these need be mentioned in the configuration file.</p> | |
436 | ||
437 | <p>The default inter-track gap is now 0s.</p> | |
438 | ||
439 | <p>How sound is played is now controlled via the new <tt>api</tt> | |
440 | configuration command. This also controls how the volume is set, | |
441 | which now works with ALSA as well as OSS.</p> | |
442 | ||
443 | <p>A bug in the MP3 decoder was fixed (also in 2.0.4).</p> | |
444 | ||
445 | </div> | |
446 | ||
447 | <h3>Web Interface</h3> | |
448 | ||
449 | <div class=section> | |
450 | ||
451 | <p>The web interface now uses cookies to remember user identity, and | |
452 | allows online registration of new users. Also it is no longer | |
453 | necessary to manually specify the URL of the web interface (but you | |
454 | can override it if you don't like the value it figures out).</p> | |
455 | ||
456 | <p>It is possible to allow users to register via the web interface.</p> | |
457 | ||
458 | <p>The web interface's browser support has been improved. It has | |
459 | been tested with Firefox 2, Safari 3, Konqueror 3, Internet Explorer | |
460 | 7 and Opera 9.</p> | |
461 | ||
462 | </div> | |
463 | ||
464 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> | |
465 | ||
466 | <div class=section> | |
467 | ||
468 | <p>A bug which would cause a crash if you attempt to rearrange the | |
469 | queue while no track was playing has been fixed. There is a new | |
470 | 'deselect all tracks' option, mirroring 'select all tracks.</p> | |
