4 0.?.? (to be announced) "sonic convolution"
5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7 0.2.12 (2006-05-12) "oriented abstraction"
8 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
9 Many user-visible changes in this release and lots of new
13 o the new optional dccp sender/receiver. It uses the datagram
14 congestion control protocol. You'll need a fairly new kernel
17 o paraslash works on Mac OS X (thanks to Gerd Becker)
19 o para_play renamed to para_write
21 o modular output plugin design (writers) for para_write
23 o new file_writer output plugin for para_write
25 o compress filter speed improvements
27 o update to libortp-0.9.1
29 o update to gengetopt-2.17rc
31 o para_client no longer depends on libreadline (as the
32 code for the interactive mode was removed).
34 o gcc-2-95 is no longer a supported compiler. It may still
35 work, but it gets no more testing.
37 o the tarball no longer contains the screenshot images which
38 reduces its size quite a bit.
40 o configure: new command line options: --enable-mysql-headers
41 and --enable-mysql-libs
43 0.2.11 (2006-03-11) "atomic duality"
44 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
46 Here it is, the first paraslash release developed with git. There
47 are fairly many user-visible changes in this release. As two out of
48 the three "database tools" of paraslash don't use a database at all,
49 they are now called "audio file selectors" instead.
52 o the cdt command (change database tool) becomes chs (change
55 o no more colon separators: The syntax of some options of
56 para_audiod and para_filter have changed. Use --help for
57 more info (and some examples).
59 o update to gengetopt-2.16 (thanks to Lorenzo Bettini)
61 o switch from cvs to git (should've done that earlier)
63 o the new ipc subsystem
65 o new audio file selector: playlist
67 o para_server: the dopey selector is now called "random",
68 and is the default selector. Use the --selector option to
69 choose another selector at startup, or the chs command to
70 change the selector at runtime.
72 o X86_64 fixes (thanks to Steffen Klassert)
77 0.2.10 (2006-02-17) "cyclic attractor"
78 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
80 Huge documentation update, a scrollable window for para_gui, ortp
81 improvements, and of course many small fixes not mentioned here.
82 The diffstat below is rather misleading as most insertions are due
83 to the new source documentation.
87 o para_server also uses the new error subsystem
89 o lots of new documentation (UTSL)
92 - keysyms for cursor keys and for next/previous page keys
93 - scrollable output window
94 - new internal commands: scroll up/down, page up/down
95 - fix color of command output.
97 o ortp: the --chunk_time and --header flags are no longer needed
98 for para_recv/para_audiod as this information is now encoded in
99 each rtp packet sent by para_server.

172 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
174 Internal audiod receivers/filters, the new error subsystem and
175 a lot of small improvements.
177 o para_recv and para_filter are integrated into the para_audiod
178 binary, i.e. audiod no longer spawns a new process for
179 each receiver/filter. As para_recv and para_filter might be
180 useful as standalone programs, they still get built (linked
181 against the same object files that are also used for audiod).
183 o further ortp timing improvements should reduce the CPU usage
184 of the ortp receiver.
186 o improved audio grabbing. The 'grab' command of para_audiod
187 has its own set of command line options. Read the output of
188 "para_audioc help grab" for more info.
190 o oggdec: configurable input prebuffer size.
192 o the new error subsystem gives better error diagnostics
193 and reduces code size.

247 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
249 The new modular filter design and the para_play-hangs bugfix.
251 o new executable: para_filter. It combines para_mp3dec,
252 para_oggdec and para_compress. It also adds a further filter
253 type, wav, that just inserts a wave header at the desired point
254 of the filter chain. All 'piping' is done in-memory (i.e. no
255 read/write operations are used).
257 o para_play: fix a stupid bug that caused it to hang under
258 certain circumstances.

283 0.2.7 (2006-12-27) "transparent invariance"
284 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
285 Not many user-visible changes but a fair amount of internal improvements.
288 o The http sender buffers data if it can not be sent
289 out immediately (because the socket is not writable). This
290 should prevent para_server from shutting down the connection
291 too early on a loaded network.
293 o para_play also prebuffers data if it is told to start at a
294 future time by the --start_time option.
296 o The return of para_recv: It combines para_ortp_recv and
297 para_http_recv. Use the --receiver option to switch between
298 the two. para_recv builds without libortp, but contains
299 only the http receiver in this case.
301 o update to ortp 0.8.1. As this ortp release contains incompatible
302 changes, para_recv-0.2.7 won't link against older ortp libs.
304 o improved ortp timings.
306 o use of gcc-extensions that #define away for non-gcc and
309 New files: gcc-compat.h

358 0.2.6 (2005-10-29) "recursive compensation"
359 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
360 Transparent session encryption (uses openssl's Alleged RC4 cipher),
361 the internal find command and several other improvements and cleanups.
363 o Encrypt the session if encryption is requested by the client
364 (default for para_client 0.2.6). This is backwards
365 compatible, so older clients can still connect to para_server
366 0.2.6. Use the new client option --plain to request an
367 uncrypted session (off by default, must be set to on in
368 order to connect to para_server 0.2.x with 0 <= x <= 5).
370 o para_server uses an internal function to locate audio files
371 rather than calling find(1). The server option
372 --mysql_audio_file_dir replaces --mysql_find_cmd.
374 o documentation update
378 o header file cleanup
380 o para_client code cleanup
382 o para_gui: faster display of output of display commands

427 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
428 This release adds internal senders, i.e. no more external programs are
429 spawned for sending out the audio data. There are two different senders
430 available: The http sender and the ortp sender (former para_send which
431 is no longer needed).
433 The new sender code has a plugin-like design so it can be easily
434 extended should there be be any future need for supporting another
435 network streaming protocol. All senders are completely independent of
436 each other. In particular, the http and the ortp sender can operate
439 o new server command: sender to control senders at runtime.
440 Read the output of "para_server -h" and "para_client help
441 sender" for more information.
443 o para_recv renamed to para_ortp_recv
445 o new executable: para_http_recv, a simple command line
448 o major afs/mp3/ogg code simplifications due to internal
451 o ogg timing improvements
453 o fix several minor memory leaks (found by valgrind)
455 o empty stream definitions work again
457 o com_ne(): ignore errors on remove
459 o audiod: fix segfault on server restart

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

550 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
551 Two new executables and major feature enhancements.
553 o audiod filters: It is now possible to specify arbitrary many
554 (including none) filters for each supported audio
555 format. This can be used e.g. for normalizing volume,
556 transforming or grabbing the audio stream, or for using
557 visualizers. Read the output of "para_audiod -h" for the
558 syntax of the new --filter_cmd option.
560 o new executable: para_play, a tiny alsa player. It
561 can play wave files or raw pcm (16 bit little endian)
564 o new executable: para_compress, a dynamic range compressor
565 intended to keep audio output at a consistent volume. Derived
566 from AudioCompress, http://trikuare.cx/code/AudioCompress.html.
568 o audiod: New option: --stream_delay. This can be used in
569 a local network to syncronize the audio output of all
570 clients that play the same stream.

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

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

707 0.2.0 (2005-08-06) "distributed diffusion"
708 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
709 After several month of increased development activity, paraslash-0.2.0
710 has arrived. It contains many new features and is much more
711 self-contained than the old 0.1.x series. Enjoy!
714 o para_server: fix hang on song change and crash on sighup.
715 Speed up mysql queries. The DIR_LIKE macro is gone.
716 o new executables: para_audiod, the local audio daemon that
717 starts playback (uses SCM_CREDENTIALS socket magic) and
718 para_audioc, the corresponding client.
719 o new executables: para_mp3dec/para_oggdec, two really teensy
720 decoders. para_mp3dec is based on libmad, para_oggdec requires
722 o ovsend/ovrecv are capable of streaming ogg as well as mp3, so
723 they are now called para_send and para_recv respectively.
724 o documentation updates
725 o para_gui is themable. For now there is the default theme that
726 looks as before and the simple theme: blue and easy.
727 o gui: audio streaming is now handled by audiod. Time display shows
728 playback time rather than streaming time
729 o slider: update to libzmw-0.2.0
730 o para_krell: fix crash on server shutdown
731 o switch from gzip to bzip2

777 0.1.7 (2005-04-18) "melting penetration"
778 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
779 The main change in this release is clearly the oggvorbis rewrite,
780 but there are also lots of smaller changes. If you intend to use both
781 the mp3 and the ogg plugin, it is recommended to use software mixing,
782 e.g. the dmix plugin which is provided by ALSA.
784 o new executables: para_ovsend and para_ovrecv for sending/receiving
785 oggvorbis files via rtp. Requires the open rtp library. Get it at
786 http://www.linphone.org/ortp/
787 o rewrite of the ogg_vorbis core code
788 o configure detects libzmw and, if detected, includes
789 para_slider to the list of binaries to be built by make
790 o server stream writers read from their associated fifo rather
792 o slider: two new sliders, lastplayed and numplayed
793 o fix nasty double free bug which caused random segfaults in case of
794 mp3 files with invalid header information
795 o gui: new command line option: --stream_timeout=seconds to
796 deactivate a slot if it is idle for that many seconds (default=`5')

827 0.1.6 (2005-03-05) "asymptotic balance"
828 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
829 Only little user-visible changes in this release. Mainly bugfixes and
830 core code cleanup. This is probably the most stable version ever if you
833 o fix several memory leaks
834 o rename default name of mysql database from "music" to "paraslash".
835 Use para_server's --mysql_database option if you do not want to
836 rename your old database.
837 o rework ogg vorbis code
838 o make update command work on mysql servers with LOCAL_INFILE
840 o gui: improved stream I/O (slots)
841 o simplified audio format API
842 o para_pob_ogg is gone
844 0.1.5 (2004-12-31) "opaque eternity"
845 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
846 Let's slide gently into the new year.
848 o new: para_slider (not built automatically, type "make
849 para_slider" to build). A toy for those who always felt that
850 creating stream definitions is difficult. See screenshots,
851 README and FEATURES for more info.
852 o improved signal handling. Fixes server segfault on SIGHUP
853 for linux kernels newer than Aug 24 2004 and makes para_gui
855 o reload database tool on SIGHUP
856 o improved help message for sl
857 o do not log "broken pipe" messages as errors. They are
859 o fix wrong error message on permission errors
861 0.1.4 (2004-12-19) "tunneling transition"
862 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
863 Bugfix release. As expected, 0.1.3 introduced a bunch of new bugs.
864 Hopefully, most of them got wiped out with this release. Some
865 enhancements went also in.
867 o improved error diagnostics for all commands
868 o stradd/picadd: overwrite previous contents if entry already
869 exists, rather than returning errors
870 o stradd: use current stream if invoked without args
871 o faster (and hopefully more stable) ogg-vorbis handling
872 o para_krell: reap children to avoid zombie-flooding in case
874 o si: report also server pid
875 o server: don't busy-loop if dbtool reports only invalid files.
876 o gui: CTRL+C works again, fix stream_read command line option
878 o fix mysql dbtool startup in case no database exists
879 o many small fixes and cleanups
881 0.1.3: (2004-12-10) "vanishing inertia"
882 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
883 Starting from this release, the database tools are integrated in the
884 server binary. This decreases server startup time, reduces code size
885 and speeds up database commands. However, the layout of the underlying
886 mysql database changed only slightly and 0.1.3 should be backwards
887 compatible in that respect.
891 o If mysql is not detected at compile time, or fails to init
892 at runtime, fall back to the dopey database tool which should
894 o para_dbtool and dbtool.conf are gone. All mysql specific
895 options are read from server.conf and are prefixed by 'mysql_'.
896 o new command: cdt (change database tool)
897 o new command line option: dbtool (choose startup database tool)
898 o The name of current stream is now stored in the database,
899 so paraslash remembers its current stream when restarted.
900 o new command: csp (change stream and play)
901 o para_gui also reports current database tool and server uptime
904 0.1.2: (2004-11-28) "spherical fluctuation"
905 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
906 Point release before the big dbtool changes go in.

909 copies numplayed and lastplayed time as well as the picture
911 o fix endless-loop-bug caused by mp3 files with invalid header
913 0.1.1: (2004-11-05) "floating atmosphere"
914 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

917 with your favorite mail reader.
918 o several small fixes
920 0.1.0: (2204-10-22) "rotating cortex"
921 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
922 o fix logging bug for loglevel > VERBOSE
924 o correct timings for vbr mp3s
925 o modular audio format support
926 o ogg-vorbis support (experimental)
927 o new server option: autoplay
929 0.0.99: (2004-07-25) "harmonic deviation"
930 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
931 o rename projectname from icc to paraslash (play, archive, rate
932 and stream large audio sets happily)
933 o paraslash is no longer restricted to one particular audio
935 o new dbtool commands (stradd, strq, strdel) for easy stream
936 managment w/o configuration file. That obsoletes stream_defs
937 file/config option for dbtool.
938 o picadd accepts jpeg data from stdin
939 o new server commands: ps (select previous stream), sc (song change)
940 o new default pictures for sdl_gui
941 o gui: new key_map option for binding commands and internal
942 functions to arbitrary keys, nice help screen, rip out
943 soundcard/linux specific stuff, avoid noise artefacts while jumping,

946 manipulating attributes
947 o cdb adds _all_ tables to mysql database
948 o revised and beautified documentation
949 o sample dbtool rewritten in C
952 0.0.98: (2003-12-26) "incremental smoothness"
953 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

955 core code considerably.
956 o cbr/vbr is displayed by stat and gui/sdl_gui. New status flags

958 o gui can start decoder (see config options). Further new gui
959 commands: refresh (^L), jmp (F1-F10)
960 o gui rereads conf on SIGUSR1 instead of SIGHUP. SIGHUP
961 terminates gui. This fixes dead instances consuming memory
