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.
+ +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 (a + href="http://code.google.com/p/disorder/issues/detail?id=56">issue + #56).
+ +Unicode support has been upgraded to Unicode + 6.0.0.
+ +Various minor bug fixes.
+ +The login form now indicates that a cookie will be set.
+ +The sense of the Control → Playing menu item was fixed.
+ +The device configuration option work under OS X. Devices may +
The device configuration option now works under OS X. + Devices may be specified either by UID or name. Fixes Issue 27.
-Confirmation URLs for online registrations are cleaner now.
+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.)
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.
+ +Important! See README.upgrades when upgrading.
