| | 57 | |
| | 58 | <p>This file documents recent user-visible changes to <a |
| | 59 | href="http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/disorder/">DisOrder</a>.</p> |
| | 60 | |
| | 61 | <h2>Changes up to version XXX</h2> |
| | 62 | |
| | 63 | <div class=section> |
| | 64 | |
| | 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 | |
| | 76 | </div> |
| | 77 | |
| | 78 | <h3>General</h3> |
| | 79 | |
| | 80 | <div class=section> |
| | 81 | |
| | 82 | <p>The build system will now automatically cope with Fink's broken GTK+ |
| | 83 | packages.</p> |
| | 84 | |
| | 85 | <p>There are some minor fixes to the test suite.</p> |
| | 86 | |
| | 87 | </div> |

| | 91 | <h2>Changes up to version 4.2</h2> |
| | 92 | |
| | 93 | <div class=section> |
| | 94 | |
| | 95 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> |
| | 96 | |
| | 97 | <div class=section> |
| | 98 | |
| | 99 | <p>The login window now has a 'remote' switch. If this is turned off |
| | 100 | then Disobedience will connect to a local server. Formerly it would |
| | 101 | always use TCP/IP.</p> |
| | 102 | |
| | 103 | <p>The Delete and backspace keys will now remove tracks from the queue. |
| | 104 | Escape will now dismiss the properties, users or login windows and return |
| | 105 | now works in the login and properties windows.</p> |
| | 106 | |
| | 107 | </div> |
| | 108 | |
| | 109 | <h3>Documentation</h3> |
| | 110 | |
| | 111 | <div class=section> |
| | 112 | |
| | 113 | <p>Track and global preferences are now described in a new |
| | 114 | <b>disorder_preferences</b>(5) man page.</p> |
| | 115 | |
| | 116 | </div> |
| | 117 | |

| | 138 | <h2>Changes up to version 4.1.1</h2> |
| | 139 | |
| | 140 | <div class=section> |
| | 141 | |
| | 142 | <p>Disobedience's “Login” window now works when you are logged |
| | 143 | in.</p> |
| | 144 | |
| | 145 | </div> |
| | 146 | |
| | 147 | <h2>Changes up to version 4.1</h2> |
| | 148 | |
| | 149 | <div class=section> |
| | 150 | |
| | 151 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> |
| | 152 | |
| | 153 | <div class=section> |
| | 154 | |
| | 155 | <p>Disobedience has been largely rewritten:</p> |
| | 156 | |
| | 157 | <ul> |
| | 158 | |
| | 159 | <li>All the tabs now use native GTK+ list/tree widgets, resulting in |
| | 160 | greater speed in some cases and more consistency with other GTK+ |
| | 161 | applications.</li> |
| | 162 | |
| | 163 | <li>You can now use type-ahead find in the choose tab. The initiation |
| | 164 | of a search is delayed slightly to avoid lots of updates when you're |
| | 165 | half way through entering search terms.</li> |
| | 166 | |
| | 167 | <li>The choose tab now shows track lengths.</li> |
| | 168 | |
| | 169 | <li>Many buttons are now more reliably made insensitive when they can't |
| | 170 | be used.</li> |
| | 171 | |
| | 172 | <li>You can now play tracks off the recent tab.</li> |
| | 173 | |
| | 174 | </ul> |
| | 175 | |
| | 176 | <p>Disobedience attempts to cope with servers from older versions, up to |
| | 177 | a point, but this is not well tested and it's best to keep the server |
| | 178 | fully up to date.</p> |
| | 179 | |
| | 180 | </div> |
| | 181 | |
| | 182 | <h3>Server</h3> |
| | 183 | |
| | 184 | <div class=section> |
| | 185 | |
| | 186 | <p>When a track shares a directory with its alias, the real track name is |
| | 187 | now returned instead of the alias (the opposite way round to the previous |
| | 188 | behaviour).</p> |
| | 189 | |
| | 190 | </div> |
| | 191 | </div> |
| | 192 | |
| | 193 | <h2>Changes up to version 4.0.2</h2> |
| | 194 | |
| | 195 | <div class=section> |
| | 196 | |
| | 197 | <p>Corrected web browser linked from Disobedience.</p> |
| | 198 | |
| | 199 | </div> |
| | 200 | |
| | 201 | <h2>Changes up to version 4.0.1</h2> |
| | 202 | |
| | 203 | <div class=section> |
| | 204 | |
| | 205 | <p>Libtool and Automake now install the CGI correctly. As part of this, |
| | 206 | <tt>cgidir</tt> has been renamed to <tt>cgiexecdir</tt>. The configure |
| | 207 | script will report an error if you try to use the old name.</p> |
| | 208 | |
| | 209 | </div> |
| | 210 | |
| | 211 | <h2>Changes up to version 4.0</h2> |
| | 212 | |
| | 213 | <div class=section> |
| | 214 | |
| | 215 | <h3>Server</h3> |
| | 216 | |
| | 217 | <div class=section> |
| | 218 | |
| | 219 | <p>The <tt>gap</tt> directive will no longer work. It could be |
| | 220 | restored if there is real demand.</p> |
| | 221 | |
| | 222 | <h4>Event Scheduling</h4> |
| | 223 | |
| | 224 | <div class=section> |
| | 225 | |
| | 226 | <p>It is now possible to schedule events to occur in the future. |
| | 227 | Currently the supported actions are playing a specific track, and |
| | 228 | changing a global preference (thus allowing e.g. random play to be |
| | 229 | turned on or off). See the <tt>schedule-*</tt> |
| | 230 | commands described in disorder(1).</p> |
| | 231 | |
| | 232 | </div> |
| | 233 | |
| | 234 | <h4>Random Track Choice</h4> |
| | 235 | |
| | 236 | <div class=section> |
| | 237 | |
| | 238 | <p>This has been completely rewritten to support new features:</p> |
| | 239 | |
| | 240 | <ul> |
| | 241 | |
| | 242 | <li>tracks in the recently-played list or in the queue are no longer |
| | 243 | eligible for random choice.</li> |
| | 244 | |
| | 245 | <li>there is a new <tt>weight</tt> track preference allowing for |
| | 246 | non-uniform track selection. See disorder(1) for details.</li> |
| | 247 | |
| | 248 | <li>there is a new configuration item <tt>replay_min</tt> defining |
| | 249 | the minimum time before a played track can be picked at random. |
| | 250 | The default is 8 hours (which matches the earlier behaviour).</li> |
| | 251 | |
| | 252 | <li>recently added tracks are biased up; see <tt>new_bias</tt> and |
| | 253 | <tt>new_bias_age</tt> in disorder_config(5).</li> |
| | 254 | |
| | 255 | </ul> |
| | 256 | |
| | 257 | </div> |
| | 258 | |
| | 259 | <h4>Web Interface</h4> |
| | 260 | |
| | 261 | <div class=section> |
| | 262 | |
| | 263 | <p>This has been largely rewritten. The most immediate benefits are:</p> |
| | 264 | |
| | 265 | <ul> |
| | 266 | |
| | 267 | <li>the search page is integrated into the choose page, and |
| | 268 | includes links to parent directories.</li> |
| | 269 | |
| | 270 | <li>if you try to do something you have insufficient rights for, |
| | 271 | instead of getting an error page or nothing happening, you are |
| | 272 | redirected to the login page.</li> |
| | 273 | |
| | 274 | </ul> |
| | 275 | |
| | 276 | <p>Customizers should find their lives easier: the syntax is less onerous, it |
| | 277 | is possible to define macros to avoid repetition, and the documentation is |
| | 278 | less monolithic (see disorder.cgi(8) as a starting point).</p> |
| | 279 | |
| | 280 | <p>Mail is now sent via the system sendmail program, though it remains |
| | 281 | possible to use TCP to connect to an SMTP server. See <tt>sendmail</tt> and |
| | 282 | <tt>smtp_server</tt> in disorder_config(5).</p> |
| | 283 | |
| | 284 | <p>The web interface is now installed automatically. If you don't want it, |
| | 285 | use <tt>./configure --without-cgi</tt>. If you want it in a non-default |
| | 286 | location, or no location for it is detected, set <tt>cgidir</tt> |
| | 287 | and <tt>httpdir</tt> on the <tt>./configure</tt> command line.</p> |
| | 288 | |
| | 289 | </div> |
| | 290 | |
| | 291 | </div> |
| | 292 | |
| | 293 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> |
| | 294 | |
| | 295 | <div class=section> |
| | 296 | |
| | 297 | <p>There is now a new user management window. From here you can add and |
| | 298 | remove users or modify their settings.</p> |
| | 299 | |
| | 300 | <p>Relatedly, the server will only allow remote user management if you set |
| | 301 | <tt>remote_userman</tt> to <tt>yes</tt>.</p> |
| | 302 | |
| | 303 | </div> |
| | 304 | |
| | 305 | <h3>Miscellaneous</h3> |
| | 306 | |
| | 307 | <div class=section> |
| | 308 | |
| | 309 | <p><tt>scripts/setup</tt> now honors command line options, and can |
| | 310 | set up network play as well as the local default sound device.</p> |
| | 311 | |
| | 312 | </div> |
| | 313 | |
| | 314 | <h3>Bugs Fixed</h3> |

| | 367 | |
| | 368 | <div class=section> |
| | 369 | |
| | 370 | <p>Builds <tt>--without-server</tt> should work again.</p> |
| | 371 | |
| | 372 | <p>The web interface is a bit more liberal in the cookie value |
| | 373 | syntax it will accept.</p> |
| | 374 | |
| | 375 | <p>Clients fail more gracefully if no password is available.</p> |
| | 376 | |
| | 377 | </div> |
| | 378 | |
| | 379 | <h2>Changes up to version 3.0.1</h2> |
| | 380 | |
| | 381 | <div class=section> |
| | 382 | |
| | 383 | <p>Debian upgrades from 2.0.x should now work better.</p> |
| | 384 | |
| | 385 | </div> |
| | 386 | |
| | 387 | <h2>Changes up to version 3.0</h2> |
| | 388 | |
| | 389 | <div class=section> |
| | 390 | |
| | 391 | <p><b>Important</b>! See <a |
| | 392 | href="README.upgrades">README.upgrades</a> when upgrading.</p> |
| | 393 | |
| | 394 | <h3>Platforms And Installation</h3> |
| | 395 | |
| | 396 | <div class=section> |
| | 397 | |
| | 398 | <p>Mac OS X and FreeBSD are somewhat supported. There is now a bash |
| | 399 | script in <tt>scripts/setup</tt> which will automate the setup after |
| | 400 | <tt>make install</tt>.</p> |
| | 401 | |
| | 402 | </div> |
| | 403 | |
| | 404 | <h3>Server</h3> |
| | 405 | |
| | 406 | <div class=section> |
| | 407 | |
| | 408 | <p>Users are now stored in the database rather than a configuration |
| | 409 | file.</p> |
| | 410 | |
| | 411 | <p>The server now has a built-in list of stopwords and players, so |
| | 412 | only additions to these need be mentioned in the configuration file.</p> |
| | 413 | |
| | 414 | <p>The default inter-track gap is now 0s.</p> |
| | 415 | |
| | 416 | <p>How sound is played is now controlled via the new <tt>api</tt> |
| | 417 | configuration command. This also controls how the volume is set, |
| | 418 | which now works with ALSA as well as OSS.</p> |
| | 419 | |
| | 420 | <p>A bug in the MP3 decoder was fixed (also in 2.0.4).</p> |
| | 421 | |
| | 422 | </div> |
| | 423 | |
| | 424 | <h3>Web Interface</h3> |
| | 425 | |
| | 426 | <div class=section> |
| | 427 | |
| | 428 | <p>The web interface now uses cookies to remember user identity, and |
| | 429 | allows online registration of new users. Also it is no longer |
| | 430 | necessary to manually specify the URL of the web interface (but you |
| | 431 | can override it if you don't like the value it figures out).</p> |
| | 432 | |
| | 433 | <p>It is possible to allow users to register via the web interface.</p> |
| | 434 | |
| | 435 | <p>The web interface's browser support has been improved. It has |
| | 436 | been tested with Firefox 2, Safari 3, Konqueror 3, Internet Explorer |
| | 437 | 7 and Opera 9.</p> |
| | 438 | |
| | 439 | </div> |
| | 440 | |
| | 441 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> |
| | 442 | |
| | 443 | <div class=section> |
| | 444 | |
| | 445 | <p>A bug which would cause a crash if you attempt to rearrange the |
| | 446 | queue while no track was playing has been fixed. There is a new |
| | 447 | 'deselect all tracks' option, mirroring 'select all tracks.</p> |
| | 448 | |
