+This file documents recent user-visible changes to DisOrder.
+ +The device configuration option now works under OS X. + Devices may + be specified either by UID or name. Fixes Issue + 27.
+ +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.
+ +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 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.
+ +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.
+ +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.)
+ +There is a new --command 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.
+ +The --device option to disorder-playrtp now works + under OS X (as above).
+ +IPv6 should now work. Network address specifications + (listen, connect etc) can now be prefixed with + -4 or -6 to force use + of IPv4 or IPv6, though normally this should not be needed.
+ +Unicode support has been upgraded to Unicode + 5.1.0.
+ +Various elements of the source code have been + rationalized.
+ +| ID | +Description | +
|---|---|
| #22 | +Background decoders interact badly with server reload | +
| #27 | +Mac DisOrder uses wrong sound device | +
| #30 + | mini disobedience interface | +
| #32 + | Excessively verbose log chatter on shutdown | +
| #33 + | (Some) plugins need -lm. | +
| #39 + | Double bind() non-multicast AF_INET | +
| #40 + | Missing stub function | +
| #41 + | Missing includes for timeval | +
| #42 + | syntax error in empeg_host section | +
| #43 + | decoder segfault with FLAC 1.2.1 | +
| #44 + | gcc 4.3.2-1ubuntu12 SUYB patch | +
| #45 + | disobedience doesn't configure its back end | +
| #46 + | Sort search results in web interface | +
| #48 + | build-time dependency on oggdec removed | +
| #49 + | Disobedience's 'When' column gets out of date | +
| #51 | +Improved speaker process robustness | +
| (none) | +“found track in no collection” messages for scratches + are now suppressed | +
| (none) | +Disobedience would sometimes fail to notice when a track + started, leading to its display getting out of date. | +
A bug was fixed in the calculation of how much of the track had + played. This would lead to the counter showing incorrect values in + various situations.
+ +Disobedience's icons have been changed to larger, more colorful + ones. The SVG source is included if you want to fiddle with them.
+ +“Select all” is now no longer available in the choose + tab. Instead there is a new “Select children” option which + selects the file children of a single subdirectory.
+ +The selection bias for newly added tracks was reduced by half. You + can put it back to the old very neophilic value with + “new_bias 900000” in the config file.
+ +It is now possible to ‘adopt’ randomly picked tracks. + Disobedience and the command-line client support this but the web + interface does not.
+ +The default track name parsing was modified to handle filenames + generated by iTunes.
+ +disorderfm now preserves directory permissions.
+ +DisOrder is now licensed under GPL v3. The main + goal is to prohibit Tivoization.
+ +The build system will now automatically cope with Fink's broken GTK+ + packages. There are a number of improvements to the Debian + packaging.
+ +DisOrder now builds on 64-bit Linux systems.
+ +There are various minor fixes.
+ +The login window now has a 'remote' switch. If this is turned off + then Disobedience will connect to a local server. Formerly it would + always use TCP/IP.
+ +The Delete and backspace keys will now remove tracks from the queue. + Escape will now dismiss the properties, users or login windows and return + now works in the login and properties windows.
+ +Track and global preferences are now described in a new + disorder_preferences(5) man page.
+ +| ID | +Description | +
|---|---|
| #21 | +CGI should use PATH_INFO more sensibly | +
Disobedience's “Login” window now works when you are logged + in.
+ +Disobedience has been largely rewritten:
+ +Disobedience attempts to cope with servers from older versions, up to + a point, but this is not well tested and it's best to keep the server + fully up to date.
+ +When a track shares a directory with its alias, the real track name is + now returned instead of the alias (the opposite way round to the previous + behaviour).
+ +Corrected web browser linked from Disobedience.
+ +Libtool and Automake now install the CGI correctly. As part of this, + cgidir has been renamed to cgiexecdir. The configure + script will report an error if you try to use the old name.
+ +The makefiles will now install the CGI automatically. If they cannot - figure out the location of the cgi-bin directory on your system, set - cgidir on the configure command line.
+The web interface is now installed automatically. If you don't want it, + use ./configure --without-cgi. If you want it in a non-default + location, or no location for it is detected, set cgidir + and httpdir on the ./configure command line.
