| | 9 | <h1>DisOrder Change History</h1> |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | <p>This file documents recent user-visible changes to <a |
| | 12 | href="http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/disorder/">DisOrder</a>.</p> |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | <p><b>IMPORTANT</b>: you should read <a |
| | 15 | href="README.upgrades.html">README.upgrades</a> before upgrading.</p> |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | <h2>Changes up to version 5.1</h2> |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | <div class=section> |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | <h3>Removable Device Support</h3> |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | <div class=section> |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | <p>The server will now automatically initiate a rescan when a filesystem is |
| | 26 | mounted or unmounted. (Use the <tt>mount_rescan</tt> option if you want to |
| | 27 | suppress this behavior.)</p> |
| | 28 | |
| | 29 | <p>The server takes care not to hold audio files open unnecessarily, so |
| | 30 | that devices can be unmounted even if tracks from them are currently being |
| | 31 | buffered.</p> |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | </div> |
| | 34 | |
| | 35 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> |
| | 36 | |
| | 37 | <div class=section> |
| | 38 | |
| | 39 | <p>You can now edit the <tt>required-tags</tt> and <tt>prohibited-tags</tt> |
| | 40 | global preferences in Disobedience |
| | 41 | (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/disorder/issues/detail?id=29">issue |
| | 42 | #29</a>).</p> |
| | 43 | |
| | 44 | <p>The “Manage users” option is now more reliably greyed out if |
| | 45 | it will not work. This depends on a server change too, so it may still be |
| | 46 | wrong if a new Disobedience is used against an old server.</p> |
| | 47 | |
| | 48 | </div> |
| | 49 | |
| | 50 | <h3>Backups</h3> |
| | 51 | |
| | 52 | <div class=section> |
| | 53 | |
| | 54 | <p>The Debian package now includes a cronjob that backs up the database |
| | 55 | daily. See <tt>/etc/cron.d/disorder</tt>. You can put settings |
| | 56 | in <tt>/etc/default/disorder</tt> to turn this off or to control how long |
| | 57 | the backups are kept for.</p> |
| | 58 | |
| | 59 | <p>The <tt>disorder-dump -r</tt> option was broken.</p> |
| | 60 | |
| | 61 | <p><tt>disorder-dump</tt> now gets permissions right automatically (<a |
| | 62 | href="http://code.google.com/p/disorder/issues/detail?id=56">issue |
| | 63 | #56</a>).</p> |
| | 64 | |
| | 65 | </div> |
| | 66 | |
| | 67 | <h3>General</h3> |
| | 68 | |
| | 69 | <div class=section> |
| | 70 | |
| | 71 | <p>Unicode support has been upgraded to <a |
| | 72 | href="http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode6.0.0/">Unicode |
| | 73 | 6.0.0</a>.</p> |
| | 74 | |
| | 75 | <p>Client programs no longer depend on libdb.</p> |
| | 76 | |
| | 77 | <p>The following have been removed:</p> |
| | 78 | |
| | 79 | <ul> |
| | 80 | |
| | 81 | <li>The <tt>allow</tt>, <tt>gap</tt>, <tt>lock</tt>, <tt>prefsync</tt>, |
| | 82 | <tt>restrict</tt>, <tt>trust</tt> configuration commands. If they still |
| | 83 | appear in your configuration file then the server will not start.</li> |
| | 84 | |
| | 85 | <li>The <tt>columns</tt> web interface option. It will generate an |
| | 86 | message in your error log but otherwise be ignored.</li> |
| | 87 | |
| | 88 | <li>The <tt>--wait-for-device</tt> player option. If it still appears in |
| | 89 | any player commands, they will not work.</li> |
| | 90 | |
| | 91 | <li>Support for automatically importing pre-3.0 users.</li> |
| | 92 | |
| | 93 | </ul> |
| | 94 | |
| | 95 | <p>Various minor bug fixes.</p> |
| | 96 | |

| | 99 | </div> |
| | 100 | |
| | 101 | <h2>Changes up to version 5.0.3</h2> |
| | 102 | |
| | 103 | <div class=section> |
| | 104 | |
| | 105 | <p><b>Security</b>: Local connections can no longer create and delete users |
| | 106 | unless they are properly authorized.</p> |
| | 107 | |
| | 108 | </div> |
| | 109 | |
| | 110 | <h2>Changes up to version 5.0.2</h2> |
| | 111 | |
| | 112 | <div class=section> |
| | 113 | |
| | 114 | <p>The login form now indicates that a cookie will be set.</p> |
| | 115 | |
| | 116 | </div> |
| | 117 | |
| | 118 | <h2>Changes up to version 5.0.1</h2> |
| | 119 | |
| | 120 | <div class=section> |
| | 121 | |
| | 122 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> |
| | 123 | |
| | 124 | <div class=section> |
| | 125 | |
| | 126 | <p>The sense of the Control → Playing menu item was fixed.</p> |
| | 127 | |
| | 128 | </div> |
| | 129 | |
| | 130 | </div> |
| | 131 | |
| | 132 | <h2>Changes up to version 5.0</h2> |
| | 133 | |
| | 134 | <div class=section> |
| | 135 | |
| | 136 | <h3>Server</h3> |
| | 137 | |
| | 138 | <div class=section> |
| | 139 | |
| | 140 | <p>The <tt>device</tt> configuration option now works under OS X. |
| | 141 | Devices may |
| | 142 | be specified either by UID or name. Fixes <a |
| | 143 | href="http://code.google.com/p/disorder/issues/detail?id=27">Issue |
| | 144 | 27</a>.</p> |
| | 145 | |
| | 146 | <p>Gapless play should be more reliable, and playback latency over RTP |
| | 147 | should be a bit lower. Note though that all the sound output code has |
| | 148 | been reorganized and in some cases completely rewritten, so it's possible |
| | 149 | that bugs may have been (re-)introduced. Decoding of scratches is also |
| | 150 | initiated ahead of time, giving more reliable playback.</p> |
| | 151 | |
| | 152 | <p>The <tt>command</tt> backend now (optionally) sends silence instead |
| | 153 | of suspending writes when a pause occurs or no track is playing.</p> |
| | 154 | |
| | 155 | <p>If <a href="http://www.mega-nerd.com/SRC/">libsamplerate</a> is |
| | 156 | available at build time then that will be used instead of invoking |
| | 157 | <a href="http://sox.sourceforge.net/">SoX</a>. SoX support will be |
| | 158 | removed in a future version.</p> |
| | 159 | |
| | 160 | <p>The libao plugin has been removed, because the plugin API is not |
| | 161 | usable in libao 1.0.0.</p> |
| | 162 | |
| | 163 | <p>Playlists are now supported. These allow a collection of tracks to be |
| | 164 | prepared offline and played as a unit.</p> |
| | 165 | |
| | 166 | </div> |
| | 167 | |
| | 168 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> |
| | 169 | |
| | 170 | <div class=section> |
| | 171 | |
| | 172 | <p>Multiple tracks can now be dragged in the queue in a single operation. |
| | 173 | Furthermore, it is now possible to drag tracks from the |
| | 174 | “Recent”, “Added” and “Choose” tabs |
| | 175 | to the queue.</p> |
| | 176 | |
| | 177 | <p>Disobedience now supports playlist editing and has a compact mode, |
| | 178 | available from the <b>Control</b> menu.</p> |
| | 179 | |
| | 180 | <p>Disobedience has a <a href="disobedience/manual/index.html">new |
| | 181 | manual</a>.</p> |
| | 182 | |
| | 183 | </div> |
| | 184 | |
| | 185 | <h3>Web Interface</h3> |
| | 186 | |
| | 187 | <div class=section> |
| | 188 | |
| | 189 | <p>Confirmation URLs should be cleaner (and in particular not end |
| | 190 | with punctuation). (Please see <a |
| | 191 | href="README.upgrades.html">README.upgrades</a> for more about this.)</p> |
| | 192 | |
| | 193 | </div> |
| | 194 | |
| | 195 | <h3>RTP Player</h3> |
| | 196 | |
| | 197 | <div class=section> |
| | 198 | |
| | 199 | <p>There is a new <tt>--command</tt> option which allows the RTP player |
| | 200 | to send audio data to a user-chosen command instead of an audio API. See |
| | 201 | the man page for details.</p> |
| | 202 | |
| | 203 | <p>The <tt>--device</tt> option to <tt>disorder-playrtp</tt> now works |
| | 204 | under OS X (as above).</p> |
| | 205 | |
| | 206 | </div> |
| | 207 | |
| | 208 | <h3>General</h3> |
| | 209 | |
| | 210 | <div class=section> |
| | 211 | |
| | 212 | <p>IPv6 should now work. Network address specifications |
| | 213 | (<tt>listen</tt>, <tt>connect</tt> etc) can now be prefixed with |
| | 214 | <tt>-4</tt> or <tt>-6</tt> to force use |
| | 215 | of IPv4 or IPv6, though normally this should not be needed.</p> |
| | 216 | |
| | 217 | <p>Unicode support has been upgraded to <a |
| | 218 | href="http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.1.0/">Unicode |
| | 219 | 5.1.0</a>.</p> |
| | 220 | |
| | 221 | <p>Various elements of the source code have been |
| | 222 | rationalized.</p> |
| | 223 | |

| | 333 | |
| | 334 | <div class=section> |
| | 335 | |
| | 336 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> |
| | 337 | |
| | 338 | <div class=section> |
| | 339 | |
| | 340 | <p>A bug was fixed in the calculation of how much of the track had |
| | 341 | played. This would lead to the counter showing incorrect values in |
| | 342 | various situations.</p> |
| | 343 | |
| | 344 | <p>Disobedience's icons have been changed to larger, more colorful |
| | 345 | ones. The SVG source is included if you want to fiddle with them.</p> |
| | 346 | |
| | 347 | <p>“Select all” is now no longer available in the choose |
| | 348 | tab. Instead there is a new “Select children” option which |
| | 349 | selects the file children of a single subdirectory.</p> |
| | 350 | |
| | 351 | </div> |
| | 352 | |
| | 353 | <h3>Server</h3> |
| | 354 | |
| | 355 | <div class=section> |
| | 356 | |
| | 357 | <p>The selection bias for newly added tracks was reduced by half. You |
| | 358 | can put it back to the old very neophilic value with |
| | 359 | “<tt>new_bias 900000</tt>” in the config file.</p> |
| | 360 | |
| | 361 | <p>It is now possible to ‘adopt’ randomly picked tracks. |
| | 362 | Disobedience and the command-line client support this but the web |
| | 363 | interface does not.</p> |
| | 364 | |
| | 365 | <p>The default track name parsing was modified to handle filenames |
| | 366 | generated by iTunes.</p> |
| | 367 | |
| | 368 | </div> |
| | 369 | |
| | 370 | <h3>Miscellaneous</h3> |
| | 371 | |
| | 372 | <div class=section> |
| | 373 | |
| | 374 | <p><tt>disorderfm</tt> now preserves directory permissions.</p> |
| | 375 | |
| | 376 | <p>DisOrder is now licensed under <a |
| | 377 | href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html">GPL v3</a>. The main |
| | 378 | goal is to prohibit <a |
| | 379 | href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tivoization">Tivoization</a>.</p> |
| | 380 | |
| | 381 | <p>The build system will now automatically cope with Fink's broken GTK+ |
| | 382 | packages. There are a number of improvements to the Debian |
| | 383 | packaging.</p> |
| | 384 | |
| | 385 | <p>DisOrder now builds on 64-bit Linux systems.</p> |
| | 386 | |
| | 387 | <p>There are various minor fixes.</p> |

| | 484 | applications.</li> |
| | 485 | |
| | 486 | <li>You can now use type-ahead find in the choose tab. The initiation |
| | 487 | of a search is delayed slightly to avoid lots of updates when you're |
| | 488 | half way through entering search terms.</li> |
| | 489 | |
| | 490 | <li>The choose tab now shows track lengths.</li> |
| | 491 | |
| | 492 | <li>Many buttons are now more reliably made insensitive when they can't |
| | 493 | be used.</li> |
| | 494 | |
| | 495 | <li>You can now play tracks off the recent tab.</li> |
| | 496 | |
| | 497 | </ul> |
| | 498 | |
| | 499 | <p>Disobedience attempts to cope with servers from older versions, up to |
| | 500 | a point, but this is not well tested and it's best to keep the server |
| | 501 | fully up to date.</p> |
| | 502 | |

| | 507 | <div class=section> |
| | 508 | |
| | 509 | <p>When a track shares a directory with its alias, the real track name is |
| | 510 | now returned instead of the alias (the opposite way round to the previous |
| | 511 | behaviour).</p> |

| | 520 | <p>Corrected web browser linked from Disobedience.</p> |

| | 525 | |
| | 526 | <div class=section> |
| | 527 | |
| | 528 | <p>Libtool and Automake now install the CGI correctly. As part of this, |
| | 529 | <tt>cgidir</tt> has been renamed to <tt>cgiexecdir</tt>. The configure |
| | 530 | script will report an error if you try to use the old name.</p> |

| | 534 | <h2>Changes up to version 4.0</h2> |
| | 535 | |
| | 536 | <div class=section> |
| | 537 | |
| | 538 | <h3>Server</h3> |
| | 539 | |
| | 540 | <div class=section> |
| | 541 | |
| | 542 | <p>The <tt>gap</tt> directive will no longer work. It could be |
| | 543 | restored if there is real demand.</p> |
| | 544 | |
| | 545 | <h4>Event Scheduling</h4> |
| | 546 | |
| | 547 | <div class=section> |
| | 548 | |
| | 549 | <p>It is now possible to schedule events to occur in the future. |
| | 550 | Currently the supported actions are playing a specific track, and |
| | 551 | changing a global preference (thus allowing e.g. random play to be |
| | 552 | turned on or off). See the <tt>schedule-*</tt> |
| | 553 | commands described in disorder(1).</p> |
| | 554 | |
| | 555 | </div> |
| | 556 | |
| | 557 | <h4>Random Track Choice</h4> |
| | 558 | |
| | 559 | <div class=section> |
| | 560 | |
| | 561 | <p>This has been completely rewritten to support new features:</p> |
| | 562 | |
| | 563 | <ul> |
| | 564 | |
| | 565 | <li>tracks in the recently-played list or in the queue are no longer |
| | 566 | eligible for random choice.</li> |
| | 567 | |
| | 568 | <li>there is a new <tt>weight</tt> track preference allowing for |
| | 569 | non-uniform track selection. See disorder(1) for details.</li> |
| | 570 | |
| | 571 | <li>there is a new configuration item <tt>replay_min</tt> defining |
| | 572 | the minimum time before a played track can be picked at random. |
| | 573 | The default is 8 hours (which matches the earlier behaviour).</li> |
| | 574 | |
| | 575 | <li>recently added tracks are biased up; see <tt>new_bias</tt> and |
| | 576 | <tt>new_bias_age</tt> in disorder_config(5).</li> |
| | 577 | |
| | 578 | </ul> |
| | 579 | |
| | 580 | </div> |
| | 581 | |
| | 582 | <h4>Web Interface</h4> |
| | 583 | |
| | 584 | <div class=section> |
| | 585 | |
| | 586 | <p>This has been largely rewritten. The most immediate benefits are:</p> |
| | 587 | |
| | 588 | <ul> |
| | 589 | |
| | 590 | <li>the search page is integrated into the choose page, and |
| | 591 | includes links to parent directories.</li> |
| | 592 | |
| | 593 | <li>if you try to do something you have insufficient rights for, |
| | 594 | instead of getting an error page or nothing happening, you are |
| | 595 | redirected to the login page.</li> |
| | 596 | |
| | 597 | </ul> |
| | 598 | |
| | 599 | <p>Customizers should find their lives easier: the syntax is less onerous, it |
| | 600 | is possible to define macros to avoid repetition, and the documentation is |
| | 601 | less monolithic (see disorder.cgi(8) as a starting point).</p> |
| | 602 | |
| | 603 | <p>Mail is now sent via the system sendmail program, though it remains |
| | 604 | possible to use TCP to connect to an SMTP server. See <tt>sendmail</tt> and |
| | 605 | <tt>smtp_server</tt> in disorder_config(5).</p> |
| | 606 | |
| | 607 | <p>The web interface is now installed automatically. If you don't want it, |
| | 608 | use <tt>./configure --without-cgi</tt>. If you want it in a non-default |
| | 609 | location, or no location for it is detected, set <tt>cgidir</tt> |
| | 610 | and <tt>httpdir</tt> on the <tt>./configure</tt> command line.</p> |

| | 616 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> |
| | 617 | |
| | 618 | <div class=section> |
| | 619 | |
| | 620 | <p>There is now a new user management window. From here you can add and |
| | 621 | remove users or modify their settings.</p> |
| | 622 | |
| | 623 | <p>Relatedly, the server will only allow remote user management if you set |
| | 624 | <tt>remote_userman</tt> to <tt>yes</tt>.</p> |
| | 625 | |
| | 626 | </div> |
| | 627 | |
| | 628 | <h3>Miscellaneous</h3> |
| | 629 | |
| | 630 | <div class=section> |
| | 631 | |
| | 632 | <p><tt>scripts/setup</tt> now honors command line options, and can |
| | 633 | set up network play as well as the local default sound device.</p> |

| | 710 | <h2>Changes up to version 3.0</h2> |
| | 711 | |
| | 712 | <div class=section> |
| | 713 | |
| | 714 | <p><b>Important</b>! See <a |
| | 715 | href="README.upgrades.html">README.upgrades</a> when upgrading.</p> |
| | 716 | |
| | 717 | <h3>Platforms And Installation</h3> |
| | 718 | |
| | 719 | <div class=section> |
| | 720 | |
| | 721 | <p>Mac OS X and FreeBSD are somewhat supported. There is now a bash |
| | 722 | script in <tt>scripts/setup</tt> which will automate the setup after |
| | 723 | <tt>make install</tt>.</p> |
| | 724 | |
| | 725 | </div> |
| | 726 | |
| | 727 | <h3>Server</h3> |
| | 728 | |
| | 729 | <div class=section> |
| | 730 | |
| | 731 | <p>Users are now stored in the database rather than a configuration |
| | 732 | file.</p> |
| | 733 | |
| | 734 | <p>The server now has a built-in list of stopwords and players, so |
| | 735 | only additions to these need be mentioned in the configuration file.</p> |
| | 736 | |
| | 737 | <p>The default inter-track gap is now 0s.</p> |
| | 738 | |
| | 739 | <p>How sound is played is now controlled via the new <tt>api</tt> |
| | 740 | configuration command. This also controls how the volume is set, |
| | 741 | which now works with ALSA as well as OSS.</p> |
| | 742 | |
| | 743 | <p>A bug in the MP3 decoder was fixed (also in 2.0.4).</p> |
| | 744 | |
| | 745 | </div> |
| | 746 | |
| | 747 | <h3>Web Interface</h3> |
| | 748 | |
| | 749 | <div class=section> |
| | 750 | |
| | 751 | <p>The web interface now uses cookies to remember user identity, and |
| | 752 | allows online registration of new users. Also it is no longer |
| | 753 | necessary to manually specify the URL of the web interface (but you |
| | 754 | can override it if you don't like the value it figures out).</p> |
| | 755 | |
| | 756 | <p>It is possible to allow users to register via the web interface.</p> |
| | 757 | |
| | 758 | <p>The web interface's browser support has been improved. It has |
| | 759 | been tested with Firefox 2, Safari 3, Konqueror 3, Internet Explorer |
| | 760 | 7 and Opera 9.</p> |
| | 761 | |
| | 762 | </div> |

| | 764 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> |
| | 765 | |
| | 766 | <div class=section> |
| | 767 | |
| | 768 | <p>A bug which would cause a crash if you attempt to rearrange the |
| | 769 | queue while no track was playing has been fixed. There is a new |
| | 770 | 'deselect all tracks' option, mirroring 'select all tracks.</p> |
