This file documents recent user-visible changes to DisOrder.
-IMPORTANT: you should read README.upgrades before upgrading.
+ +The server will now automatically initiate a rescan when a filesystem is + mounted or unmounted. (Use the mount_rescan option if you want to + suppress this behavior.)
+ +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.
+ +You can now edit the required-tags and prohibited-tags + global preferences in Disobedience + (issue + #29).
+ +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.
+ +A .desktop file is now shipped, making Disobedience visible as + an application in freedesktop.org-compliant systems.
+ +The Debian package now includes a cronjob that backs up the database + daily. See /etc/cron.d/disorder. You can put settings + in /etc/default/disorder to turn this off or to control how long + the backups are kept for.
+ +The disorder-dump -r option was broken.
+ +disorder-dump now gets permissions right automatically (issue + #56).
+ +Unicode support has been upgraded to Unicode + 6.0.0.
+ +Client programs no longer depend on libdb.
+ +The following have been removed:
+ +Various minor bug fixes.
+ +Security: Local connections can no longer create and delete users +unless they are properly authorized.
+ +The login form now indicates that a cookie will be set.
+ +The sense of the Control → Playing menu item was fixed.
+ +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.
+ that bugs may have been (re-)introduced. Decoding of scratches is also + initiated ahead of time, giving more reliable playback.The command backend now (optionally) sends silence instead of suspending writes when a pause occurs or no track is playing.
If libsamplerate is available at build time then that will be used instead of invoking - SoX>.
+ SoX. SoX support will be + removed in a future version. + +The libao plugin has been removed, because the plugin API is not + usable in libao 1.0.0.
+ +Playlists are now supported. These allow a collection of tracks to be + prepared offline and played as a unit.
Disobedience now supports playlist editing and has a compact mode, + available from the Control menu.
+ +Disobedience has a new + manual.
+Confirmation URLs should be cleaner (and in particular not end with punctuation). (Please see README.upgrades for more about this.)
