4 0.?.? (to be announced) "sonic convolution"
5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7 A bunch of new features and core changes.
9 o the new paraslash scheduler, short and sweet.
11 o Support for m4a files via the new aac filter/ and audio
12 format handler. (requires libfaad)
14 o new writer: osxplay (thanks to Gerd Becker)
16 o writers are integrated into para_audiod
18 o each writer of para_write has its own command line parser,
19 just like para_recv and para_filter.
21 o random/playlist selector: improved info strings
23 o new audiod commands: tasks, kill
26 0.2.12 (2006-05-12) "oriented abstraction"
27 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
29 Many user-visible changes in this release and lots of new
33 o the new optional dccp sender/receiver. It uses the datagram
34 congestion control protocol. You'll need a fairly new kernel
37 o paraslash works on Mac OS X (thanks to Gerd Becker)
39 o para_play renamed to para_write
41 o modular output plugin design (writers) for para_write
43 o new file_writer output plugin for para_write
45 o compress filter speed improvements
47 o update to libortp-0.9.1
49 o update to gengetopt-2.17rc
51 o para_client no longer depends on libreadline (as the
52 code for the interactive mode was removed).
54 o gcc-2-95 is no longer a supported compiler. It may still
55 work, but it gets no more testing.
57 o the tarball no longer contains the screenshot images which
58 reduces its size quite a bit.
60 o configure: new command line options: --enable-mysql-headers
61 and --enable-mysql-libs
63 0.2.11 (2006-03-11) "atomic duality"
64 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
66 Here it is, the first paraslash release developed with git. There
67 are fairly many user-visible changes in this release. As two out of
68 the three "database tools" of paraslash don't use a database at all,
69 they are now called "audio file selectors" instead.
72 o the cdt command (change database tool) becomes chs (change
75 o no more colon separators: The syntax of some options of
76 para_audiod and para_filter have changed. Use --help for
77 more info (and some examples).
79 o update to gengetopt-2.16 (thanks to Lorenzo Bettini)
81 o switch from cvs to git (should've done that earlier)
83 o the new ipc subsystem
85 o new audio file selector: playlist
87 o para_server: the dopey selector is now called "random",
88 and is the default selector. Use the --selector option to
89 choose another selector at startup, or the chs command to
90 change the selector at runtime.
92 o X86_64 fixes (thanks to Steffen Klassert)
97 0.2.10 (2006-02-17) "cyclic attractor"
98 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
100 Huge documentation update, a scrollable window for para_gui, ortp
101 improvements, and of course many small fixes not mentioned here.
102 The diffstat below is rather misleading as most insertions are due
103 to the new source documentation.
107 o para_server also uses the new error subsystem
109 o lots of new documentation (UTSL)
112 - keysyms for cursor keys and for next/previous page keys
113 - scrollable output window
114 - new internal commands: scroll up/down, page up/down
115 - fix color of command output.
117 o ortp: the --chunk_time and --header flags are no longer needed
118 for para_recv/para_audiod as this information is now encoded in
119 each rtp packet sent by para_server.

192 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
194 Internal audiod receivers/filters, the new error subsystem and
195 a lot of small improvements.
197 o para_recv and para_filter are integrated into the para_audiod
198 binary, i.e. audiod no longer spawns a new process for
199 each receiver/filter. As para_recv and para_filter might be
200 useful as standalone programs, they still get built (linked
201 against the same object files that are also used for audiod).
203 o further ortp timing improvements should reduce the CPU usage
204 of the ortp receiver.
206 o improved audio grabbing. The 'grab' command of para_audiod
207 has its own set of command line options. Read the output of
208 "para_audioc help grab" for more info.
210 o oggdec: configurable input prebuffer size.
212 o the new error subsystem gives better error diagnostics
213 and reduces code size.

267 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
269 The new modular filter design and the para_play-hangs bugfix.
271 o new executable: para_filter. It combines para_mp3dec,
272 para_oggdec and para_compress. It also adds a further filter
273 type, wav, that just inserts a wave header at the desired point
274 of the filter chain. All 'piping' is done in-memory (i.e. no
275 read/write operations are used).
277 o para_play: fix a stupid bug that caused it to hang under
278 certain circumstances.

303 0.2.7 (2006-12-27) "transparent invariance"
304 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
305 Not many user-visible changes but a fair amount of internal improvements.
308 o The http sender buffers data if it can not be sent
309 out immediately (because the socket is not writable). This
310 should prevent para_server from shutting down the connection
311 too early on a loaded network.
313 o para_play also prebuffers data if it is told to start at a
314 future time by the --start_time option.
316 o The return of para_recv: It combines para_ortp_recv and
317 para_http_recv. Use the --receiver option to switch between
318 the two. para_recv builds without libortp, but contains
319 only the http receiver in this case.
321 o update to ortp 0.8.1. As this ortp release contains incompatible
322 changes, para_recv-0.2.7 won't link against older ortp libs.
324 o improved ortp timings.
326 o use of gcc-extensions that #define away for non-gcc and
329 New files: gcc-compat.h

379 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
380 Transparent session encryption (uses openssl's Alleged RC4 cipher),
381 the internal find command and several other improvements and cleanups.
383 o Encrypt the session if encryption is requested by the client
384 (default for para_client 0.2.6). This is backwards
385 compatible, so older clients can still connect to para_server
386 0.2.6. Use the new client option --plain to request an
387 uncrypted session (off by default, must be set to on in
388 order to connect to para_server 0.2.x with 0 <= x <= 5).
390 o para_server uses an internal function to locate audio files
391 rather than calling find(1). The server option
392 --mysql_audio_file_dir replaces --mysql_find_cmd.
394 o documentation update
398 o header file cleanup
400 o para_client code cleanup
402 o para_gui: faster display of output of display commands

447 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
448 This release adds internal senders, i.e. no more external programs are
449 spawned for sending out the audio data. There are two different senders
450 available: The http sender and the ortp sender (former para_send which
451 is no longer needed).
453 The new sender code has a plugin-like design so it can be easily
454 extended should there be be any future need for supporting another
455 network streaming protocol. All senders are completely independent of
456 each other. In particular, the http and the ortp sender can operate
459 o new server command: sender to control senders at runtime.
460 Read the output of "para_server -h" and "para_client help
461 sender" for more information.
463 o para_recv renamed to para_ortp_recv
465 o new executable: para_http_recv, a simple command line
468 o major afs/mp3/ogg code simplifications due to internal
471 o ogg timing improvements
473 o fix several minor memory leaks (found by valgrind)
475 o empty stream definitions work again
477 o com_ne(): ignore errors on remove
479 o audiod: fix segfault on server restart

515 Several small improvements, fixes and the new grab command.
518 - new command: "grab" to grab the output of the stream reader
519 or any filters. Read the output of "para_audioc help grab"
520 for more information.
524 o audioc: new command line option: --bufsize to specify a
525 buffer size different from the default size 8192.
527 o improved error diagnostics for para_play.
529 o new configure option: --enable-ssldir so search for openssl in
532 o sdl_gui: Make it look nice again for 1024x768
534 o server: report total size of memory allocated with sbrk by malloc,
535 new command line option: --announce_time

570 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
571 Two new executables and major feature enhancements.
573 o audiod filters: It is now possible to specify arbitrary many
574 (including none) filters for each supported audio
575 format. This can be used e.g. for normalizing volume,
576 transforming or grabbing the audio stream, or for using
577 visualizers. Read the output of "para_audiod -h" for the
578 syntax of the new --filter_cmd option.
580 o new executable: para_play, a tiny alsa player. It
581 can play wave files or raw pcm (16 bit little endian)
584 o new executable: para_compress, a dynamic range compressor
585 intended to keep audio output at a consistent volume. Derived
586 from AudioCompress, http://trikuare.cx/code/AudioCompress.html.
588 o audiod: New option: --stream_delay. This can be used in
589 a local network to syncronize the audio output of all
590 clients that play the same stream.

614 Mostly internal changes in this release, but also some new commands
615 for the mysql database tool.
617 o cleanup exec.c, fix para_exec bug
618 o compile time loglevel (log messages below the given level
619 won't be compiled in, which reduces the size of the
621 o new log macros that shorten the size of the source code.
622 o workaround a gcc-4.1 bug (?) that caused send_cred_buffer()
623 to send only zeros. With this workaround, para_audioc works
625 o avoid gcc-4 warning: conflicting types for built-in function 'clog'
626 o new mysql commands: "rm" (remove entry), "mv" (rename entry) "ne"
627 (new entry), "snp" (set numplayed). Read the manual for more

669 surprise, only minor bug fixes.
671 o kill noisy mp3 debug message
672 o cleanup of the build system
673 o para_server and para_client directly use the crypto routines
674 of the openssl library rather than invoking the openssl command
676 o server/audiod: new option --user to switch to the given user
677 when invoked as root. Read the output of "para_server -h" for
679 o gui/sdl_gui: new option --stat_cmd to be used to retrieve the
680 status. Default: "para_audioc stat"
681 o sdl_gui: new option --pic_cmd to be used to download the picture.
682 Default: "para_client pic"
683 o audiod: 5 slots ought to be enough for everybody
684 o audiod: new status item: Uptime, kill hup command

727 0.2.0 (2005-08-06) "distributed diffusion"
728 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
729 After several month of increased development activity, paraslash-0.2.0
730 has arrived. It contains many new features and is much more
731 self-contained than the old 0.1.x series. Enjoy!
734 o para_server: fix hang on song change and crash on sighup.
735 Speed up mysql queries. The DIR_LIKE macro is gone.
736 o new executables: para_audiod, the local audio daemon that
737 starts playback (uses SCM_CREDENTIALS socket magic) and
738 para_audioc, the corresponding client.
739 o new executables: para_mp3dec/para_oggdec, two really teensy
740 decoders. para_mp3dec is based on libmad, para_oggdec requires
742 o ovsend/ovrecv are capable of streaming ogg as well as mp3, so
743 they are now called para_send and para_recv respectively.
744 o documentation updates
745 o para_gui is themable. For now there is the default theme that
746 looks as before and the simple theme: blue and easy.
747 o gui: audio streaming is now handled by audiod. Time display shows
748 playback time rather than streaming time
749 o slider: update to libzmw-0.2.0
750 o para_krell: fix crash on server shutdown
751 o switch from gzip to bzip2

797 0.1.7 (2005-04-18) "melting penetration"
798 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
799 The main change in this release is clearly the oggvorbis rewrite,
800 but there are also lots of smaller changes. If you intend to use both
801 the mp3 and the ogg plugin, it is recommended to use software mixing,
802 e.g. the dmix plugin which is provided by ALSA.
804 o new executables: para_ovsend and para_ovrecv for sending/receiving
805 oggvorbis files via rtp. Requires the open rtp library. Get it at
806 http://www.linphone.org/ortp/
807 o rewrite of the ogg_vorbis core code
808 o configure detects libzmw and, if detected, includes
809 para_slider to the list of binaries to be built by make
810 o server stream writers read from their associated fifo rather
812 o slider: two new sliders, lastplayed and numplayed
813 o fix nasty double free bug which caused random segfaults in case of
814 mp3 files with invalid header information
815 o gui: new command line option: --stream_timeout=seconds to
816 deactivate a slot if it is idle for that many seconds (default=`5')

847 0.1.6 (2005-03-05) "asymptotic balance"
848 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
849 Only little user-visible changes in this release. Mainly bugfixes and
850 core code cleanup. This is probably the most stable version ever if you
853 o fix several memory leaks
854 o rename default name of mysql database from "music" to "paraslash".
855 Use para_server's --mysql_database option if you do not want to
856 rename your old database.
857 o rework ogg vorbis code
858 o make update command work on mysql servers with LOCAL_INFILE
860 o gui: improved stream I/O (slots)
861 o simplified audio format API
862 o para_pob_ogg is gone
864 0.1.5 (2004-12-31) "opaque eternity"
865 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
866 Let's slide gently into the new year.
868 o new: para_slider (not built automatically, type "make
869 para_slider" to build). A toy for those who always felt that
870 creating stream definitions is difficult. See screenshots,
871 README and FEATURES for more info.
872 o improved signal handling. Fixes server segfault on SIGHUP
873 for linux kernels newer than Aug 24 2004 and makes para_gui
875 o reload database tool on SIGHUP
876 o improved help message for sl
877 o do not log "broken pipe" messages as errors. They are
879 o fix wrong error message on permission errors
881 0.1.4 (2004-12-19) "tunneling transition"
882 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
883 Bugfix release. As expected, 0.1.3 introduced a bunch of new bugs.
884 Hopefully, most of them got wiped out with this release. Some
885 enhancements went also in.
887 o improved error diagnostics for all commands
888 o stradd/picadd: overwrite previous contents if entry already
889 exists, rather than returning errors
890 o stradd: use current stream if invoked without args
891 o faster (and hopefully more stable) ogg-vorbis handling
892 o para_krell: reap children to avoid zombie-flooding in case
894 o si: report also server pid
895 o server: don't busy-loop if dbtool reports only invalid files.
896 o gui: CTRL+C works again, fix stream_read command line option
898 o fix mysql dbtool startup in case no database exists
899 o many small fixes and cleanups
901 0.1.3: (2004-12-10) "vanishing inertia"
902 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
903 Starting from this release, the database tools are integrated in the
904 server binary. This decreases server startup time, reduces code size
905 and speeds up database commands. However, the layout of the underlying
906 mysql database changed only slightly and 0.1.3 should be backwards
907 compatible in that respect.
911 o If mysql is not detected at compile time, or fails to init
912 at runtime, fall back to the dopey database tool which should
914 o para_dbtool and dbtool.conf are gone. All mysql specific
915 options are read from server.conf and are prefixed by 'mysql_'.
916 o new command: cdt (change database tool)
917 o new command line option: dbtool (choose startup database tool)
918 o The name of current stream is now stored in the database,
919 so paraslash remembers its current stream when restarted.
920 o new command: csp (change stream and play)
921 o para_gui also reports current database tool and server uptime
924 0.1.2: (2004-11-28) "spherical fluctuation"
925 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
926 Point release before the big dbtool changes go in.
928 o dbtool: rename ca to cam (copy all meta data). It now also
929 copies numplayed and lastplayed time as well as the picture
931 o fix endless-loop-bug caused by mp3 files with invalid header
933 0.1.1: (2004-11-05) "floating atmosphere"
934 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
936 o new dbtool command: mbox. Browse your sound-file collection
937 with your favorite mail reader.
938 o several small fixes
940 0.1.0: (2204-10-22) "rotating cortex"
941 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
942 o fix logging bug for loglevel > VERBOSE
944 o correct timings for vbr mp3s
945 o modular audio format support
946 o ogg-vorbis support (experimental)
947 o new server option: autoplay
949 0.0.99: (2004-07-25) "harmonic deviation"
950 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
951 o rename projectname from icc to paraslash (play, archive, rate
952 and stream large audio sets happily)
953 o paraslash is no longer restricted to one particular audio
955 o new dbtool commands (stradd, strq, strdel) for easy stream
956 managment w/o configuration file. That obsoletes stream_defs
957 file/config option for dbtool.
958 o picadd accepts jpeg data from stdin
959 o new server commands: ps (select previous stream), sc (song change)
960 o new default pictures for sdl_gui
961 o gui: new key_map option for binding commands and internal
962 functions to arbitrary keys, nice help screen, rip out
963 soundcard/linux specific stuff, avoid noise artefacts while jumping,
964 show silly logo on startup
965 o new executables: para_fade for fading volume, para_dbadm for
966 manipulating attributes
967 o cdb adds _all_ tables to mysql database
968 o revised and beautified documentation
969 o sample dbtool rewritten in C
972 0.0.98: (2003-12-26) "incremental smoothness"
973 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
974 o kick icecast in favour of poc. That removes some races and reduces
975 core code considerably.
976 o cbr/vbr is displayed by stat and gui/sdl_gui. New status flags
977 give finer info on afs' status.
978 o gui can start decoder (see config options). Further new gui
979 commands: refresh (^L), jmp (F1-F10)
980 o gui rereads conf on SIGUSR1 instead of SIGHUP. SIGHUP
981 terminates gui. This fixes dead instances consuming memory
983 o new dbtool command: verb for sending verbatim sql queries.
984 o fix pid_list races (by removing pid_list)
989 o installation prefix now defaults to /usr/local
990 o new commands for gui: snozze, sleep and reread config
991 o config file for gui and sdl_gui
992 o fix problems with filenames containing funny characters
993 (reported by Thomas Forell)

1029 o stat shows also id3 tag info
1031 o log flodding bug fixed
1032 o many small fixes and cleanups
1036 o colors for icc_gui
