<div class=section>
- <h3>Removable Device Support</h3>
+ <h3>PulseAudio 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>PulseAudio is now supported, if the support library is available at
+ build time. It is the default for client applications, reflecting its
+ widespread use in desktop environments.</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>
+ <p>Volume setting is not currently supported when PulseAudio is in
+ use.</p>
</div>
- <h3>Disobedience</h3>
+ <h3>Changes To RTP Support</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>
+ <p>Disobedience now has a menu to select the network playback API.</p>
- <p>The “Manage users” option is now more reliably greyed out if
- it will not work. This depends on a server change too, so it may still be
- wrong if a new Disobedience is used against an old server.</p>
+ <p><code>disorder-playrtp</code> now selects playback API using
+ a <code>--api</code> option. The old API-selection options remain
+ available but are deprecated and will be removed in the future.</p>
- <p>A <tt>.desktop</tt> file is now shipped, making Disobedience visible as
- an application in freedesktop.org-compliant systems.</p>

- <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>
+ <p>RTP playback can now transmit to multiple unicast destinations, added
+ and removed on demand. This is controlled by the new <code>rtp_mode</code>
+ option. The motivating use case is a bridged network with high- and
+ low-capacity components. However it is may also be useful in a routed
+ network without multicast routing support.</p>

+ <h3>Bug fixes</h3>
+
+ <div class=section>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>The CGI program now checks user passwords even when it runs as the
+ main jukebox user(!).</li>
+
+ <li>DisObedience doesn't crash when search terms change under its
+ feet.</li>
+
+ <li>The CGI program doesn't crash on some POST requests.

+ <h3>Bug fixes</h3>
+
+ <div class=section>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li><code>player</code> and <code>tracklength</code> can now be used
