Thanks to Mark Wooding and Joe Birr-Pixton.

Changes up to version 5.1

+ +
+ +

Removable Device Support

+ +
+ +

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.

+ +
+ +

Disobedience

+ +
+ +

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.

+ +
+ +

Backups

+ +
+ +

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).

+ +
+ +

General

+ +
+ +

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.

Changes up to version 5.0.3

+ +

Security: Local connections can no longer create and delete users +unless they are properly authorized.

+ +
+ +

Changes up to version 5.0.2

+ +
+ +

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 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.

+ +
+ +

Disobedience

+ +
+ +

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.

+ +
+ +

Web Interface

+ +
+ +

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.
