<p>This file documents recent user-visible changes to <a
href="http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/disorder/">DisOrder</a>.</p>
+<p><b>IMPORTANT</b>: you should read <a
+href="README.upgrades.html">README.upgrades</a> before upgrading.</p>
+
+<h2>Changes up to version 5.1</h2>
+
+<div class=section>
+
+ <h3>Removable Device Support</h3>
+
+ <div class=section>
+
+ <p>The server will now automatically initiate a rescan when a filesystem is
+ mounted or unmounted. (Use the <tt>mount_rescan</tt> option if you want to
+ suppress this behavior.)</p>
+
+ <p>The server takes care not to hold audio files open unnecessarily, so
+ that devices can be unmounted even if tracks from them are currently being
+ buffered.</p>
+
+ </div>
+
+ <h3>Disobedience</h3>
+
+ <div class=section>
+
+ <p>You can now edit the <tt>required-tags</tt> and <tt>prohibited-tags</tt>
+ global preferences in Disobedience
+ (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/disorder/issues/detail?id=29">issue
+ #29</a>).</p>
+
+ </div>
+
+ <h3>Backups</h3>
+
+ <div class=section>
+
+ <p>The Debian package now includes a cronjob that backs up the database
+ daily. See <tt>/etc/cron.d/disorder</tt>. You can put settings
+ in <tt>/etc/default/disorder</tt> to turn this off or to control how long
+ the backups are kept for.</p>
+
+ <p>The <tt>disorder-dump -r</tt> option was broken.</p>
+
+ <p><tt>disorder-dump</tt> now gets permissions right automatically (<a
+ href="http://code.google.com/p/disorder/issues/detail?id=56">issue
+ #56</a>).</p>
+
+ </div>
+
+ <h3>General</h3>
+
+ <div class=section>
+
+ <p>Unicode support has been upgraded to <a
+ href="http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode6.0.0/">Unicode
+ 6.0.0</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>Various minor bug fixes.</p>
+
+ </div>
+
+</div>
+
+<h2>Changes up to version 5.0.3</h2>
+
+<div class=section>
+
+<p><b>Security</b>: Local connections can no longer create and delete users
+unless they are properly authorized.</p>
+
+</div>
+
+<h2>Changes up to version 5.0.2</h2>
+
+<div class=section>
+
+<p>The login form now indicates that a cookie will be set.</p>
+
+</div>
+
+<h2>Changes up to version 5.0.1</h2>
+
+<div class=section>
+
+<h3>Disobedience</h3>
+
+<div class=section>
+
+<p>The sense of the Control → Playing menu item was fixed.</p>
+
+</div>
+
+</div>
+
+<h2>Changes up to version 5.0</h2>
+
+ <div class=section>
+
+ <h3>Server</h3>
+
+ <div class=section>
+
+ <p>The <tt>device</tt> configuration option now works under OS X.
+ Devices may
+ be specified either by UID or name. Fixes <a
+ href="http://code.google.com/p/disorder/issues/detail?id=27">Issue
+ 27</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>Gapless play should be more reliable, and playback latency over RTP
+ should be a bit lower. Note though that all the sound output code has
+ been reorganized and in some cases completely rewritten, so it's possible
+ that bugs may have been (re-)introduced. Decoding of scratches is also
+ initiated ahead of time, giving more reliable playback.</p>
+
+ <p>The <tt>command</tt> backend now (optionally) sends silence instead
+ of suspending writes when a pause occurs or no track is playing.</p>
+
+ <p>If <a href="http://www.mega-nerd.com/SRC/">libsamplerate</a> is
+ available at build time then that will be used instead of invoking
+ <a href="http://sox.sourceforge.net/">SoX</a>. SoX support will be
+ removed in a future version.</p>
+
+ <p>The libao plugin has been removed, because the plugin API is not
+ usable in libao 1.0.0.</p>
+
+ <p>Playlists are now supported. These allow a collection of tracks to be
+ prepared offline and played as a unit.</p>
+
+ </div>
+
+ <h3>Disobedience</h3>
+
+ <div class=section>
+
+ <p>Multiple tracks can now be dragged in the queue in a single operation.
+ Furthermore, it is now possible to drag tracks from the
+ “Recent”, “Added” and “Choose” tabs
+ to the queue.</p>
+
+ <p>Disobedience now supports playlist editing and has a compact mode,
+ available from the <b>Control</b> menu.</p>
+
+ <p>Disobedience has a <a href="disobedience/manual/index.html">new
+ manual</a>.</p>
+
+ </div>
+
+ <h3>Web Interface</h3>
+
+ <div class=section>
+
+ <p>Confirmation URLs should be cleaner (and in particular not end
+ with punctuation). (Please see <a
+ href="README.upgrades.html">README.upgrades</a> for more about this.)</p>
+
+ </div>
+
+ <h3>RTP Player</h3>
+
+ <div class=section>
+
+ <p>There is a new <tt>--command</tt> option which allows the RTP player
+ to send audio data to a user-chosen command instead of an audio API. See
+ the man page for details.</p>
+
+ <p>The <tt>--device</tt> option to <tt>disorder-playrtp</tt> now works
+ under OS X (as above).</p>
+
+ </div>
+
+ <h3>General</h3>
+
+ <div class=section>
+
+ <p>IPv6 should now work. Network address specifications
+ (<tt>listen</tt>, <tt>connect</tt> etc) can now be prefixed with
+ <tt>-4</tt> or <tt>-6</tt> to force use
+ of IPv4 or IPv6, though normally this should not be needed.</p>
+
+ <p>Unicode support has been upgraded to <a
+ href="http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.1.0/">Unicode
+ 5.1.0</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>Various elements of the source code have been
+ rationalized.</p>

+ </div>
