75 | <p>Gapless play should be more reliable, and playback latency over RTP |
76 | should be a bit lower. Note thought that all the sound output code has | |
77 | been reorganized and in some cases completely rewritten, so it's possible | |
78 | that bugs may have been (re-)introduced.</p> | |

114 | <tt>-4</tt> or <tt>-6</tt> to force use | |

155 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> | |
156 | ||
157 | <div class=section> | |
158 | ||
159 | <p>A bug was fixed in the calculation of how much of the track had | |
e02f9807 RK |
160 | played. This would lead to the counter showing incorrect values in |
161 | various situations.</p> | |
d8b95785 RK |
162 | |
163 | <p>Disobedience's icons have been changed to larger, more colorful | |
164 | ones. The SVG source is included if you want to fiddle with them.</p> | |
165 | ||
a0e78d96 RK |
166 | <p>“Select all” is now no longer available in the choose |
167 | tab. Instead there is a new “Select children” option which | |
168 | selects the file children of a single subdirectory.</p> | |
169 | ||

172 | <h3>Server</h3> |
173 | ||
174 | <div class=section> | |
175 | ||
176 | <p>The selection bias for newly added tracks was reduced by half. You | |
177 | can put it back to the old very neophilic value with | |
178 | “<tt>new_bias 900000</tt>” in the config file.</p> | |
179 | ||
ff45af7c RK |
180 | <p>It is now possible to ‘adopt’ randomly picked tracks. |
181 | Disobedience and the command-line client support this but the web | |
182 | interface does not.</p> | |
183 | ||
e02f9807 RK |
184 | <p>The default track name parsing was modified to handle filenames |
185 | generated by iTunes.</p> | |

195 | <p>DisOrder is now licensed under <a |

197 | goal is to prohibit <a | |

199 | ||
d8b95785 | 200 | <p>The build system will now automatically cope with Fink's broken GTK+ |

202 | packaging.</p> | |

294 | ||
295 | <div class=section> | |
296 | ||
297 | <p>Disobedience has been largely rewritten:</p> | |
298 | ||
299 | <ul> | |
300 | ||
301 | <li>All the tabs now use native GTK+ list/tree widgets, resulting in | |
302 | greater speed in some cases and more consistency with other GTK+ | |
303 | applications.</li> | |
304 | ||
305 | <li>You can now use type-ahead find in the choose tab. The initiation | |
306 | of a search is delayed slightly to avoid lots of updates when you're | |
307 | half way through entering search terms.</li> | |
308 | ||
309 | <li>The choose tab now shows track lengths.</li> | |
310 | ||
311 | <li>Many buttons are now more reliably made insensitive when they can't | |
312 | be used.</li> | |
30f2f8c9 RK |
313 | |
314 | <li>You can now play tracks off the recent tab.</li> | |
315 | ||
452ad6ba RK |
316 | </ul> |
317 | ||
318 | <p>Disobedience attempts to cope with servers from older versions, up to | |
319 | a point, but this is not well tested and it's best to keep the server | |
320 | fully up to date.</p> | |
321 | ||

323 | ||
324 | <h3>Server</h3> | |
325 | ||
326 | <div class=section> | |
327 | ||
328 | <p>When a track shares a directory with its alias, the real track name is | |

330 | behaviour).</p> | |

362 | restored if there is real demand.</p> | |
363 | ||
364 | <h4>Event Scheduling</h4> | |
365 | ||
366 | <div class=section> | |
367 | ||
368 | <p>It is now possible to schedule events to occur in the future. | |
369 | Currently the supported actions are playing a specific track, and | |
370 | changing a global preference (thus allowing e.g. random play to be | |
371 | turned on or off). See the <tt>schedule-*</tt> | |
372 | commands described in disorder(1).</p> | |
373 | ||
374 | </div> | |
375 | ||
376 | <h4>Random Track Choice</h4> | |
377 | ||
378 | <div class=section> | |
379 | ||
380 | <p>This has been completely rewritten to support new features:</p> | |
381 | ||
382 | <ul> | |
383 | ||
384 | <li>tracks in the recently-played list or in the queue are no longer | |
385 | eligible for random choice.</li> | |
386 | ||
387 | <li>there is a new <tt>weight</tt> track preference allowing for | |
388 | non-uniform track selection. See disorder(1) for details.</li> | |
389 | ||
390 | <li>there is a new configuration item <tt>replay_min</tt> defining | |
391 | the minimum time before a played track can be picked at random. | |
392 | The default is 8 hours (which matches the earlier behaviour).</li> | |
393 | ||
394 | <li>recently added tracks are biased up; see <tt>new_bias</tt> and | |
395 | <tt>new_bias_age</tt> in disorder_config(5).</li> | |
396 | ||
397 | </ul> | |
398 | ||
399 | </div> | |
400 | ||
401 | <h4>Web Interface</h4> | |
402 | ||
403 | <div class=section> | |
404 | ||
405 | <p>This has been largely rewritten. The most immediate benefits are:</p> | |
406 | ||
407 | <ul> | |
408 | ||
409 | <li>the search page is integrated into the choose page, and | |
410 | includes links to parent directories.</li> | |
411 | ||
412 | <li>if you try to do something you have insufficient rights for, | |
413 | instead of getting an error page or nothing happening, you are | |
414 | redirected to the login page.</li> | |
415 | ||
416 | </ul> | |
417 | ||
418 | <p>Customizers should find their lives easier: the syntax is less onerous, it | |
419 | is possible to define macros to avoid repetition, and the documentation is | |
420 | less monolithic (see disorder.cgi(8) as a starting point).</p> | |
421 | ||
2eee4b0c RK |
422 | <p>Mail is now sent via the system sendmail program, though it remains |
423 | possible to use TCP to connect to an SMTP server. See <tt>sendmail</tt> and | |
424 | <tt>smtp_server</tt> in disorder_config(5).</p> | |
4cbafe13 | 425 | |
64ac73bb RK |
426 | <p>The web interface is now installed automatically. If you don't want it, |
427 | use <tt>./configure --without-cgi</tt>. If you want it in a non-default | |
428 | location, or no location for it is detected, set <tt>cgidir</tt> | |
429 | and <tt>httpdir</tt> on the <tt>./configure</tt> command line.</p> | |

513 | ||

515 | syntax it will accept.</p> | |
516 | ||
517 | <p>Clients fail more gracefully if no password is available.</p> | |

536 | <h3>Platforms And Installation</h3> | |
537 | ||
538 | <div class=section> | |
539 | ||
540 | <p>Mac OS X and FreeBSD are somewhat supported. There is now a bash | |
541 | script in <tt>scripts/setup</tt> which will automate the setup after | |
542 | <tt>make install</tt>.</p> | |
543 | ||
544 | </div> | |
545 | ||
546 | <h3>Server</h3> | |
547 | ||
548 | <div class=section> | |
549 | ||
550 | <p>Users are now stored in the database rather than a configuration | |
551 | file.</p> | |
552 | ||
553 | <p>The server now has a built-in list of stopwords and players, so | |
554 | only additions to these need be mentioned in the configuration file.</p> | |
555 | ||
556 | <p>The default inter-track gap is now 0s.</p> | |
557 | ||
558 | <p>How sound is played is now controlled via the new <tt>api</tt> | |
559 | configuration command. This also controls how the volume is set, | |
560 | which now works with ALSA as well as OSS.</p> | |
561 | ||
562 | <p>A bug in the MP3 decoder was fixed (also in 2.0.4).</p> | |
563 | ||
564 | </div> | |
565 | ||
566 | <h3>Web Interface</h3> | |
567 | ||
568 | <div class=section> | |
569 | ||
570 | <p>The web interface now uses cookies to remember user identity, and | |
571 | allows online registration of new users. Also it is no longer | |
572 | necessary to manually specify the URL of the web interface (but you | |
573 | can override it if you don't like the value it figures out).</p> | |
574 | ||
575 | <p>It is possible to allow users to register via the web interface.</p> | |
576 | ||
577 | <p>The web interface's browser support has been improved. It has | |
578 | been tested with Firefox 2, Safari 3, Konqueror 3, Internet Explorer | |
579 | 7 and Opera 9.</p> | |
580 | ||
581 | </div> | |
582 | ||
583 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> | |
584 | ||
585 | <div class=section> | |
586 | ||
587 | <p>A bug which would cause a crash if you attempt to rearrange the | |
588 | queue while no track was playing has been fixed. There is a new | |
589 | 'deselect all tracks' option, mirroring 'select all tracks.</p> | |
