68 | <p>The login window now has a 'remote' switch. If this is turned off | |
69 | then Disobedience will connect to a local server. Formerly it would | |
70 | always use TCP/IP.</p> | |
71 | ||
72 | <p>The Delete and backspace keys will now remove tracks from the queue. | |
73 | Escape will now dismiss the properties, users or login windows and return | |
74 | now works in the login and properties windows.</p> | |

102 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> | |
103 | ||
104 | <div class=section> | |
105 | ||
106 | <p>Disobedience has been largely rewritten:</p> | |
107 | ||
108 | <ul> | |
109 | ||
110 | <li>All the tabs now use native GTK+ list/tree widgets, resulting in | |
111 | greater speed in some cases and more consistency with other GTK+ | |
112 | applications.</li> | |
113 | ||
114 | <li>You can now use type-ahead find in the choose tab. The initiation | |
115 | of a search is delayed slightly to avoid lots of updates when you're | |
116 | half way through entering search terms.</li> | |
117 | ||
118 | <li>The choose tab now shows track lengths.</li> | |
119 | ||
120 | <li>Many buttons are now more reliably made insensitive when they can't | |
121 | be used.</li> | |
30f2f8c9 RK |
122 | |
123 | <li>You can now play tracks off the recent tab.</li> | |
124 | ||
452ad6ba RK |
125 | </ul> |
126 | ||
127 | <p>Disobedience attempts to cope with servers from older versions, up to | |
128 | a point, but this is not well tested and it's best to keep the server | |
129 | fully up to date.</p> | |
130 | ||
131 | </div> | |
132 | ||
133 | <h3>Server</h3> | |
134 | ||
135 | <div class=section> | |
136 | ||
137 | <p>When a track shares a directory with its alias, the real track name is | |
138 | now returned instead of the alias (the opposite way round to the previous | |
139 | behaviour).</p> | |

152 | <h2>Changes up to version 4.0.1</h2> |
153 | ||
154 | <div class=section> | |
155 | ||
156 | <p>Libtool and Automake now install the CGI correctly. As part of this, | |
157 | <tt>cgidir</tt> has been renamed to <tt>cgiexecdir</tt>. The configure | |
158 | script will report an error if you try to use the old name.</p> | |

163 | |
164 | <div class=section> | |
165 | ||
166 | <h3>Server</h3> | |
167 | ||
168 | <div class=section> | |
169 | ||
170 | <p>The <tt>gap</tt> directive will no longer work. It could be | |
171 | restored if there is real demand.</p> | |
172 | ||
173 | <h4>Event Scheduling</h4> | |
174 | ||
175 | <div class=section> | |
176 | ||
177 | <p>It is now possible to schedule events to occur in the future. | |
178 | Currently the supported actions are playing a specific track, and | |
179 | changing a global preference (thus allowing e.g. random play to be | |
180 | turned on or off). See the <tt>schedule-*</tt> | |
181 | commands described in disorder(1).</p> | |
182 | ||
183 | </div> | |
184 | ||
185 | <h4>Random Track Choice</h4> | |
186 | ||
187 | <div class=section> | |
188 | ||
189 | <p>This has been completely rewritten to support new features:</p> | |
190 | ||
191 | <ul> | |
192 | ||
193 | <li>tracks in the recently-played list or in the queue are no longer | |
194 | eligible for random choice.</li> | |
195 | ||
196 | <li>there is a new <tt>weight</tt> track preference allowing for | |
197 | non-uniform track selection. See disorder(1) for details.</li> | |
198 | ||
199 | <li>there is a new configuration item <tt>replay_min</tt> defining | |
200 | the minimum time before a played track can be picked at random. | |
201 | The default is 8 hours (which matches the earlier behaviour).</li> | |
202 | ||
203 | <li>recently added tracks are biased up; see <tt>new_bias</tt> and | |
204 | <tt>new_bias_age</tt> in disorder_config(5).</li> | |
205 | ||
206 | </ul> | |
207 | ||
208 | </div> | |
209 | ||
210 | <h4>Web Interface</h4> | |
211 | ||
212 | <div class=section> | |
213 | ||
214 | <p>This has been largely rewritten. The most immediate benefits are:</p> | |
215 | ||
216 | <ul> | |
217 | ||
218 | <li>the search page is integrated into the choose page, and | |
219 | includes links to parent directories.</li> | |
220 | ||
221 | <li>if you try to do something you have insufficient rights for, | |
222 | instead of getting an error page or nothing happening, you are | |
223 | redirected to the login page.</li> | |
224 | ||
225 | </ul> | |
226 | ||
227 | <p>Customizers should find their lives easier: the syntax is less onerous, it | |
228 | is possible to define macros to avoid repetition, and the documentation is | |
229 | less monolithic (see disorder.cgi(8) as a starting point).</p> | |
230 | ||
2eee4b0c RK |
231 | <p>Mail is now sent via the system sendmail program, though it remains |
232 | possible to use TCP to connect to an SMTP server. See <tt>sendmail</tt> and | |
233 | <tt>smtp_server</tt> in disorder_config(5).</p> | |
4cbafe13 | 234 | |
64ac73bb RK |
235 | <p>The web interface is now installed automatically. If you don't want it, |
236 | use <tt>./configure --without-cgi</tt>. If you want it in a non-default | |
237 | location, or no location for it is detected, set <tt>cgidir</tt> | |
238 | and <tt>httpdir</tt> on the <tt>./configure</tt> command line.</p> | |

243 | ||
244 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> | |
245 | ||
246 | <div class=section> | |
247 | ||
248 | <p>There is now a new user management window. From here you can add and | |
249 | remove users or modify their settings.</p> | |
250 | ||
251 | <p>Relatedly, the server will only allow remote user management if you set | |
252 | <tt>remote_userman</tt> to <tt>yes</tt>.</p> | |
253 | ||
254 | </div> | |
255 | ||
256 | <h3>Miscellaneous</h3> | |
257 | ||
258 | <div class=section> | |
259 | ||
260 | <p><tt>scripts/setup</tt> now honors command line options, and can | |
261 | set up network play as well as the local default sound device.</p> | |
262 | ||
263 | </div> | |

317 | <h2>Changes up to version 3.0.2</h2> | |
318 | ||
319 | <div class=section> | |
320 | ||
321 | <p>Builds <tt>--without-server</tt> should work again.</p> | |
322 | ||
323 | <p>The web interface is a bit more liberal in the cookie value | |
324 | syntax it will accept.</p> | |
325 | ||
326 | <p>Clients fail more gracefully if no password is available.</p> | |
327 | ||
328 | </div> | |
329 | ||
330 | <h2>Changes up to version 3.0.1</h2> | |
331 | ||
332 | <div class=section> | |
333 | ||
334 | <p>Debian upgrades from 2.0.x should now work better.</p> | |
335 | ||
336 | </div> | |
337 | ||
338 | <h2>Changes up to version 3.0</h2> | |
339 | ||
340 | <div class=section> | |
341 | ||
342 | <p><b>Important</b>! See <a | |
343 | href="README.upgrades">README.upgrades</a> when upgrading.</p> | |
344 | ||
345 | <h3>Platforms And Installation</h3> | |
346 | ||
347 | <div class=section> | |
348 | ||
349 | <p>Mac OS X and FreeBSD are somewhat supported. There is now a bash | |
350 | script in <tt>scripts/setup</tt> which will automate the setup after | |
351 | <tt>make install</tt>.</p> | |
352 | ||
353 | </div> | |
354 | ||
355 | <h3>Server</h3> | |
356 | ||
357 | <div class=section> | |
358 | ||
359 | <p>Users are now stored in the database rather than a configuration | |
360 | file.</p> | |
361 | ||
362 | <p>The server now has a built-in list of stopwords and players, so | |
363 | only additions to these need be mentioned in the configuration file.</p> | |
364 | ||
365 | <p>The default inter-track gap is now 0s.</p> | |
366 | ||
367 | <p>How sound is played is now controlled via the new <tt>api</tt> | |
368 | configuration command. This also controls how the volume is set, | |
369 | which now works with ALSA as well as OSS.</p> | |
370 | ||
371 | <p>A bug in the MP3 decoder was fixed (also in 2.0.4).</p> | |
372 | ||
373 | </div> | |
374 | ||
375 | <h3>Web Interface</h3> | |
376 | ||
377 | <div class=section> | |
378 | ||
379 | <p>The web interface now uses cookies to remember user identity, and | |
380 | allows online registration of new users. Also it is no longer | |
381 | necessary to manually specify the URL of the web interface (but you | |
382 | can override it if you don't like the value it figures out).</p> | |
383 | ||
384 | <p>It is possible to allow users to register via the web interface.</p> | |
385 | ||
386 | <p>The web interface's browser support has been improved. It has | |
387 | been tested with Firefox 2, Safari 3, Konqueror 3, Internet Explorer | |
388 | 7 and Opera 9.</p> | |
389 | ||
390 | </div> | |
391 | ||
392 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> | |
393 | ||
394 | <div class=section> | |
395 | ||
396 | <p>A bug which would cause a crash if you attempt to rearrange the | |
397 | queue while no track was playing has been fixed. There is a new | |
398 | 'deselect all tracks' option, mirroring 'select all tracks.</p> | |
