4 0.?.? (to be announced) "sonic convolution"
5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7 o aac filter and aac audio format handler (requires libfaad)
9 o random/playlist selector: improved info strings
12 0.2.12 (2006-05-12) "oriented abstraction"
13 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
14 Many user-visible changes in this release and lots of new
18 o the new optional dccp sender/receiver. It uses the datagram
19 congestion control protocol. You'll need a fairly new kernel
22 o paraslash works on Mac OS X (thanks to Gerd Becker)
24 o para_play renamed to para_write
26 o modular output plugin design (writers) for para_write
28 o new file_writer output plugin for para_write
30 o compress filter speed improvements
32 o update to libortp-0.9.1
34 o update to gengetopt-2.17rc
36 o para_client no longer depends on libreadline (as the
37 code for the interactive mode was removed).
39 o gcc-2-95 is no longer a supported compiler. It may still
40 work, but it gets no more testing.
42 o the tarball no longer contains the screenshot images which
43 reduces its size quite a bit.
45 o configure: new command line options: --enable-mysql-headers
46 and --enable-mysql-libs
48 0.2.11 (2006-03-11) "atomic duality"
49 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
51 Here it is, the first paraslash release developed with git. There
52 are fairly many user-visible changes in this release. As two out of
53 the three "database tools" of paraslash don't use a database at all,
54 they are now called "audio file selectors" instead.
57 o the cdt command (change database tool) becomes chs (change
60 o no more colon separators: The syntax of some options of
61 para_audiod and para_filter have changed. Use --help for
62 more info (and some examples).
64 o update to gengetopt-2.16 (thanks to Lorenzo Bettini)
66 o switch from cvs to git (should've done that earlier)
68 o the new ipc subsystem
70 o new audio file selector: playlist
72 o para_server: the dopey selector is now called "random",
73 and is the default selector. Use the --selector option to
74 choose another selector at startup, or the chs command to
75 change the selector at runtime.
77 o X86_64 fixes (thanks to Steffen Klassert)
82 0.2.10 (2006-02-17) "cyclic attractor"
83 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
85 Huge documentation update, a scrollable window for para_gui, ortp
86 improvements, and of course many small fixes not mentioned here.
87 The diffstat below is rather misleading as most insertions are due
88 to the new source documentation.
92 o para_server also uses the new error subsystem
94 o lots of new documentation (UTSL)
97 - keysyms for cursor keys and for next/previous page keys
98 - scrollable output window
99 - new internal commands: scroll up/down, page up/down
100 - fix color of command output.
102 o ortp: the --chunk_time and --header flags are no longer needed
103 for para_recv/para_audiod as this information is now encoded in
104 each rtp packet sent by para_server.

176 0.2.9 (2006-01-24) "progressive turbulence"
177 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
179 Internal audiod receivers/filters, the new error subsystem and
180 a lot of small improvements.
182 o para_recv and para_filter are integrated into the para_audiod
183 binary, i.e. audiod no longer spawns a new process for
184 each receiver/filter. As para_recv and para_filter might be
185 useful as standalone programs, they still get built (linked
186 against the same object files that are also used for audiod).
188 o further ortp timing improvements should reduce the CPU usage
189 of the ortp receiver.
191 o improved audio grabbing. The 'grab' command of para_audiod
192 has its own set of command line options. Read the output of
193 "para_audioc help grab" for more info.
195 o oggdec: configurable input prebuffer size.
197 o the new error subsystem gives better error diagnostics
198 and reduces code size.

252 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
254 The new modular filter design and the para_play-hangs bugfix.
256 o new executable: para_filter. It combines para_mp3dec,
257 para_oggdec and para_compress. It also adds a further filter
258 type, wav, that just inserts a wave header at the desired point
259 of the filter chain. All 'piping' is done in-memory (i.e. no
260 read/write operations are used).
262 o para_play: fix a stupid bug that caused it to hang under
263 certain circumstances.

288 0.2.7 (2006-12-27) "transparent invariance"
289 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
290 Not many user-visible changes but a fair amount of internal improvements.
293 o The http sender buffers data if it can not be sent
294 out immediately (because the socket is not writable). This
295 should prevent para_server from shutting down the connection
296 too early on a loaded network.
298 o para_play also prebuffers data if it is told to start at a
299 future time by the --start_time option.
301 o The return of para_recv: It combines para_ortp_recv and
302 para_http_recv. Use the --receiver option to switch between
303 the two. para_recv builds without libortp, but contains
304 only the http receiver in this case.
306 o update to ortp 0.8.1. As this ortp release contains incompatible
307 changes, para_recv-0.2.7 won't link against older ortp libs.
309 o improved ortp timings.
311 o use of gcc-extensions that #define away for non-gcc and

363 0.2.6 (2005-10-29) "recursive compensation"
364 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
365 Transparent session encryption (uses openssl's Alleged RC4 cipher),
366 the internal find command and several other improvements and cleanups.
368 o Encrypt the session if encryption is requested by the client
369 (default for para_client 0.2.6). This is backwards
370 compatible, so older clients can still connect to para_server
371 0.2.6. Use the new client option --plain to request an
372 uncrypted session (off by default, must be set to on in
373 order to connect to para_server 0.2.x with 0 <= x <= 5).
375 o para_server uses an internal function to locate audio files
376 rather than calling find(1). The server option
377 --mysql_audio_file_dir replaces --mysql_find_cmd.
379 o documentation update
383 o header file cleanup
385 o para_client code cleanup
387 o para_gui: faster display of output of display commands

432 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
433 This release adds internal senders, i.e. no more external programs are
434 spawned for sending out the audio data. There are two different senders
435 available: The http sender and the ortp sender (former para_send which
436 is no longer needed).
438 The new sender code has a plugin-like design so it can be easily
439 extended should there be be any future need for supporting another
440 network streaming protocol. All senders are completely independent of
441 each other. In particular, the http and the ortp sender can operate
444 o new server command: sender to control senders at runtime.
445 Read the output of "para_server -h" and "para_client help
446 sender" for more information.
448 o para_recv renamed to para_ortp_recv
450 o new executable: para_http_recv, a simple command line
453 o major afs/mp3/ogg code simplifications due to internal
456 o ogg timing improvements
458 o fix several minor memory leaks (found by valgrind)
460 o empty stream definitions work again
462 o com_ne(): ignore errors on remove
464 o audiod: fix segfault on server restart

503 - new command: "grab" to grab the output of the stream reader
504 or any filters. Read the output of "para_audioc help grab"
505 for more information.
509 o audioc: new command line option: --bufsize to specify a
510 buffer size different from the default size 8192.
512 o improved error diagnostics for para_play.
514 o new configure option: --enable-ssldir so search for openssl in
517 o sdl_gui: Make it look nice again for 1024x768
519 o server: report total size of memory allocated with sbrk by malloc,
520 new command line option: --announce_time

555 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
556 Two new executables and major feature enhancements.
558 o audiod filters: It is now possible to specify arbitrary many
559 (including none) filters for each supported audio
560 format. This can be used e.g. for normalizing volume,
561 transforming or grabbing the audio stream, or for using
562 visualizers. Read the output of "para_audiod -h" for the
563 syntax of the new --filter_cmd option.
565 o new executable: para_play, a tiny alsa player. It
566 can play wave files or raw pcm (16 bit little endian)
569 o new executable: para_compress, a dynamic range compressor
570 intended to keep audio output at a consistent volume. Derived
571 from AudioCompress, http://trikuare.cx/code/AudioCompress.html.
573 o audiod: New option: --stream_delay. This can be used in
574 a local network to syncronize the audio output of all
575 clients that play the same stream.

599 Mostly internal changes in this release, but also some new commands
600 for the mysql database tool.
602 o cleanup exec.c, fix para_exec bug
603 o compile time loglevel (log messages below the given level
604 won't be compiled in, which reduces the size of the
606 o new log macros that shorten the size of the source code.
607 o workaround a gcc-4.1 bug (?) that caused send_cred_buffer()
608 to send only zeros. With this workaround, para_audioc works
610 o avoid gcc-4 warning: conflicting types for built-in function 'clog'
611 o new mysql commands: "rm" (remove entry), "mv" (rename entry) "ne"
612 (new entry), "snp" (set numplayed). Read the manual for more

653 Here comes paraslash-0.2.1. It contains a couple of new features and,
654 surprise, only minor bug fixes.
656 o kill noisy mp3 debug message
657 o cleanup of the build system
658 o para_server and para_client directly use the crypto routines
659 of the openssl library rather than invoking the openssl command
661 o server/audiod: new option --user to switch to the given user
662 when invoked as root. Read the output of "para_server -h" for
664 o gui/sdl_gui: new option --stat_cmd to be used to retrieve the
665 status. Default: "para_audioc stat"
666 o sdl_gui: new option --pic_cmd to be used to download the picture.
667 Default: "para_client pic"
668 o audiod: 5 slots ought to be enough for everybody
669 o audiod: new status item: Uptime, kill hup command

712 0.2.0 (2005-08-06) "distributed diffusion"
713 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
714 After several month of increased development activity, paraslash-0.2.0
715 has arrived. It contains many new features and is much more
716 self-contained than the old 0.1.x series. Enjoy!
719 o para_server: fix hang on song change and crash on sighup.
720 Speed up mysql queries. The DIR_LIKE macro is gone.
721 o new executables: para_audiod, the local audio daemon that
722 starts playback (uses SCM_CREDENTIALS socket magic) and
723 para_audioc, the corresponding client.
724 o new executables: para_mp3dec/para_oggdec, two really teensy
725 decoders. para_mp3dec is based on libmad, para_oggdec requires
727 o ovsend/ovrecv are capable of streaming ogg as well as mp3, so
728 they are now called para_send and para_recv respectively.
729 o documentation updates
730 o para_gui is themable. For now there is the default theme that
731 looks as before and the simple theme: blue and easy.
732 o gui: audio streaming is now handled by audiod. Time display shows
733 playback time rather than streaming time
734 o slider: update to libzmw-0.2.0
735 o para_krell: fix crash on server shutdown
736 o switch from gzip to bzip2

782 0.1.7 (2005-04-18) "melting penetration"
783 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
784 The main change in this release is clearly the oggvorbis rewrite,
785 but there are also lots of smaller changes. If you intend to use both
786 the mp3 and the ogg plugin, it is recommended to use software mixing,
787 e.g. the dmix plugin which is provided by ALSA.
789 o new executables: para_ovsend and para_ovrecv for sending/receiving
790 oggvorbis files via rtp. Requires the open rtp library. Get it at
791 http://www.linphone.org/ortp/
792 o rewrite of the ogg_vorbis core code
793 o configure detects libzmw and, if detected, includes
794 para_slider to the list of binaries to be built by make
795 o server stream writers read from their associated fifo rather
797 o slider: two new sliders, lastplayed and numplayed
798 o fix nasty double free bug which caused random segfaults in case of
799 mp3 files with invalid header information
800 o gui: new command line option: --stream_timeout=seconds to
801 deactivate a slot if it is idle for that many seconds (default=`5')

832 0.1.6 (2005-03-05) "asymptotic balance"
833 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
834 Only little user-visible changes in this release. Mainly bugfixes and
835 core code cleanup. This is probably the most stable version ever if you
838 o fix several memory leaks
839 o rename default name of mysql database from "music" to "paraslash".
840 Use para_server's --mysql_database option if you do not want to
841 rename your old database.
842 o rework ogg vorbis code
843 o make update command work on mysql servers with LOCAL_INFILE
845 o gui: improved stream I/O (slots)
846 o simplified audio format API
847 o para_pob_ogg is gone
849 0.1.5 (2004-12-31) "opaque eternity"
850 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
851 Let's slide gently into the new year.
853 o new: para_slider (not built automatically, type "make
854 para_slider" to build). A toy for those who always felt that
855 creating stream definitions is difficult. See screenshots,
856 README and FEATURES for more info.
857 o improved signal handling. Fixes server segfault on SIGHUP
858 for linux kernels newer than Aug 24 2004 and makes para_gui
860 o reload database tool on SIGHUP
861 o improved help message for sl
862 o do not log "broken pipe" messages as errors. They are
864 o fix wrong error message on permission errors
866 0.1.4 (2004-12-19) "tunneling transition"
867 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
868 Bugfix release. As expected, 0.1.3 introduced a bunch of new bugs.
869 Hopefully, most of them got wiped out with this release. Some
870 enhancements went also in.
872 o improved error diagnostics for all commands
873 o stradd/picadd: overwrite previous contents if entry already
874 exists, rather than returning errors
875 o stradd: use current stream if invoked without args
876 o faster (and hopefully more stable) ogg-vorbis handling
877 o para_krell: reap children to avoid zombie-flooding in case
879 o si: report also server pid
880 o server: don't busy-loop if dbtool reports only invalid files.
881 o gui: CTRL+C works again, fix stream_read command line option
883 o fix mysql dbtool startup in case no database exists
884 o many small fixes and cleanups
886 0.1.3: (2004-12-10) "vanishing inertia"
887 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
888 Starting from this release, the database tools are integrated in the
889 server binary. This decreases server startup time, reduces code size
890 and speeds up database commands. However, the layout of the underlying
891 mysql database changed only slightly and 0.1.3 should be backwards
892 compatible in that respect.
896 o If mysql is not detected at compile time, or fails to init
897 at runtime, fall back to the dopey database tool which should
899 o para_dbtool and dbtool.conf are gone. All mysql specific
900 options are read from server.conf and are prefixed by 'mysql_'.
901 o new command: cdt (change database tool)
902 o new command line option: dbtool (choose startup database tool)
903 o The name of current stream is now stored in the database,
904 so paraslash remembers its current stream when restarted.
905 o new command: csp (change stream and play)
906 o para_gui also reports current database tool and server uptime
909 0.1.2: (2004-11-28) "spherical fluctuation"
910 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
911 Point release before the big dbtool changes go in.
913 o dbtool: rename ca to cam (copy all meta data). It now also
914 copies numplayed and lastplayed time as well as the picture
916 o fix endless-loop-bug caused by mp3 files with invalid header
918 0.1.1: (2004-11-05) "floating atmosphere"
919 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
921 o new dbtool command: mbox. Browse your sound-file collection
922 with your favorite mail reader.
923 o several small fixes
925 0.1.0: (2204-10-22) "rotating cortex"
926 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
927 o fix logging bug for loglevel > VERBOSE
929 o correct timings for vbr mp3s
930 o modular audio format support
931 o ogg-vorbis support (experimental)
932 o new server option: autoplay
934 0.0.99: (2004-07-25) "harmonic deviation"
935 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
936 o rename projectname from icc to paraslash (play, archive, rate
937 and stream large audio sets happily)
938 o paraslash is no longer restricted to one particular audio
940 o new dbtool commands (stradd, strq, strdel) for easy stream
941 managment w/o configuration file. That obsoletes stream_defs
942 file/config option for dbtool.
943 o picadd accepts jpeg data from stdin
944 o new server commands: ps (select previous stream), sc (song change)
945 o new default pictures for sdl_gui
946 o gui: new key_map option for binding commands and internal
947 functions to arbitrary keys, nice help screen, rip out
948 soundcard/linux specific stuff, avoid noise artefacts while jumping,

951 manipulating attributes
952 o cdb adds _all_ tables to mysql database
953 o revised and beautified documentation
954 o sample dbtool rewritten in C
957 0.0.98: (2003-12-26) "incremental smoothness"
958 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
959 o kick icecast in favour of poc. That removes some races and reduces
960 core code considerably.
961 o cbr/vbr is displayed by stat and gui/sdl_gui. New status flags
962 give finer info on afs' status.
963 o gui can start decoder (see config options). Further new gui
964 commands: refresh (^L), jmp (F1-F10)
965 o gui rereads conf on SIGUSR1 instead of SIGHUP. SIGHUP
966 terminates gui. This fixes dead instances consuming memory
