4 0.?.? (to be announced) "oriented abstraction"
5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7 0.2.11 (2006-03-11) "atomic duality"
8 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
10 Here it is, the first paraslash release developed with git. There
11 are fairly many user-visible changes in this release. As two out of
12 the three "database tools" of paraslash don't use a database at all,
13 they are now called "audio file selectors" instead.
16 o the cdt command (change database tool) becomes chs (change
19 o no more colon separators: The syntax of some options of
20 para_audiod and para_filter have changed. Use --help for
21 more info (and some examples).
23 o update to gengetopt-2.16 (thanks to Lorenzo Bettini)
25 o switch from cvs to git (should've done that earlier)
27 o the new ipc subsystem
29 o new audio file selector: playlist
31 o para_server: the dopey selector is now called "random",
32 and is the default selector. Use the --selector option to
33 choose another selector at startup, or the chs command to
34 change the selector at runtime.
36 o X86_64 fixes (thanks to Steffen Klassert)
41 0.2.10 (2006-02-17) "cyclic attractor"
42 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
44 Huge documentation update, a scrollable window for para_gui, ortp
45 improvements, and of course many small fixes not mentioned here.
46 The diffstat below is rather misleading as most insertions are due
47 to the new source documentation.
51 o para_server also uses the new error subsystem
53 o lots of new documentation (UTSL)
56 - keysyms for cursor keys and for next/previous page keys
57 - scrollable output window
58 - new internal commands: scroll up/down, page up/down
59 - fix color of command output.
61 o ortp: the --chunk_time and --header flags are no longer needed
62 for para_recv/para_audiod as this information is now encoded in
63 each rtp packet sent by para_server.

135 0.2.9 (2006-01-24) "progressive turbulence"
136 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
138 Internal audiod receivers/filters, the new error subsystem and
139 a lot of small improvements.
141 o para_recv and para_filter are integrated into the para_audiod
142 binary, i.e. audiod no longer spawns a new process for
143 each receiver/filter. As para_recv and para_filter might be
144 useful as standalone programs, they still get built (linked
145 against the same object files that are also used for audiod).
147 o further ortp timing improvements should reduce the CPU usage
148 of the ortp receiver.
150 o improved audio grabbing. The 'grab' command of para_audiod
151 has its own set of command line options. Read the output of
152 "para_audioc help grab" for more info.
154 o oggdec: configurable input prebuffer size.
156 o the new error subsystem gives better error diagnostics
157 and reduces code size.

210 0.2.8 (2006-01-02) "dynamic accumulation"
211 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
213 The new modular filter design and the para_play-hangs bugfix.
215 o new executable: para_filter. It combines para_mp3dec,
216 para_oggdec and para_compress. It also adds a further filter
217 type, wav, that just inserts a wave header at the desired point
218 of the filter chain. All 'piping' is done in-memory (i.e. no
219 read/write operations are used).
221 o para_play: fix a stupid bug that caused it to hang under
222 certain circumstances.

247 0.2.7 (2006-12-27) "transparent invariance"
248 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
249 Not many user-visible changes but a fair amount of internal improvements.
252 o The http sender buffers data if it can not be sent
253 out immediately (because the socket is not writable). This
254 should prevent para_server from shutting down the connection
255 too early on a loaded network.
257 o para_play also prebuffers data if it is told to start at a
258 future time by the --start_time option.
260 o The return of para_recv: It combines para_ortp_recv and
261 para_http_recv. Use the --receiver option to switch between
262 the two. para_recv builds without libortp, but contains
263 only the http receiver in this case.
265 o update to ortp 0.8.1. As this ortp release contains incompatible
266 changes, para_recv-0.2.7 won't link against older ortp libs.
268 o improved ortp timings.
270 o use of gcc-extensions that #define away for non-gcc and
273 New files: gcc-compat.h

322 0.2.6 (2005-10-29) "recursive compensation"
323 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
324 Transparent session encryption (uses openssl's Alleged RC4 cipher),
325 the internal find command and several other improvements and cleanups.
327 o Encrypt the session if encryption is requested by the client
328 (default for para_client 0.2.6). This is backwards
329 compatible, so older clients can still connect to para_server
330 0.2.6. Use the new client option --plain to request an
331 uncrypted session (off by default, must be set to on in
332 order to connect to para_server 0.2.x with 0 <= x <= 5).
334 o para_server uses an internal function to locate audio files
335 rather than calling find(1). The server option
336 --mysql_audio_file_dir replaces --mysql_find_cmd.
338 o documentation update
342 o header file cleanup
344 o para_client code cleanup
346 o para_gui: faster display of output of display commands

390 0.2.5 (2005-10-13) "aggressive_resolution"
391 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
392 This release adds internal senders, i.e. no more external programs are
393 spawned for sending out the audio data. There are two different senders
394 available: The http sender and the ortp sender (former para_send which
395 is no longer needed).
397 The new sender code has a plugin-like design so it can be easily
398 extended should there be be any future need for supporting another
399 network streaming protocol. All senders are completely independent of
400 each other. In particular, the http and the ortp sender can operate
403 o new server command: sender to control senders at runtime.
404 Read the output of "para_server -h" and "para_client help
405 sender" for more information.
407 o para_recv renamed to para_ortp_recv
409 o new executable: para_http_recv, a simple command line
412 o major afs/mp3/ogg code simplifications due to internal
415 o ogg timing improvements
417 o fix several minor memory leaks (found by valgrind)
419 o empty stream definitions work again
421 o com_ne(): ignore errors on remove
423 o audiod: fix segfault on server restart

458 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
459 Several small improvements, fixes and the new grab command.
462 - new command: "grab" to grab the output of the stream reader
463 or any filters. Read the output of "para_audioc help grab"
464 for more information.
468 o audioc: new command line option: --bufsize to specify a
469 buffer size different from the default size 8192.
471 o improved error diagnostics for para_play.
473 o new configure option: --enable-ssldir so search for openssl in
476 o sdl_gui: Make it look nice again for 1024x768
478 o server: report total size of memory allocated with sbrk by malloc,
479 new command line option: --announce_time

514 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
515 Two new executables and major feature enhancements.
517 o audiod filters: It is now possible to specify arbitrary many
518 (including none) filters for each supported audio
519 format. This can be used e.g. for normalizing volume,
520 transforming or grabbing the audio stream, or for using
521 visualizers. Read the output of "para_audiod -h" for the
522 syntax of the new --filter_cmd option.
524 o new executable: para_play, a tiny alsa player. It
525 can play wave files or raw pcm (16 bit little endian)
528 o new executable: para_compress, a dynamic range compressor
529 intended to keep audio output at a consistent volume. Derived
530 from AudioCompress, http://trikuare.cx/code/AudioCompress.html.
532 o audiod: New option: --stream_delay. This can be used in
533 a local network to syncronize the audio output of all
534 clients that play the same stream.

557 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
558 Mostly internal changes in this release, but also some new commands
559 for the mysql database tool.
561 o cleanup exec.c, fix para_exec bug
562 o compile time loglevel (log messages below the given level
563 won't be compiled in, which reduces the size of the
565 o new log macros that shorten the size of the source code.
566 o workaround a gcc-4.1 bug (?) that caused send_cred_buffer()
567 to send only zeros. With this workaround, para_audioc works
569 o avoid gcc-4 warning: conflicting types for built-in function 'clog'
570 o new mysql commands: "rm" (remove entry), "mv" (rename entry) "ne"
571 (new entry), "snp" (set numplayed). Read the manual for more

613 surprise, only minor bug fixes.
615 o kill noisy mp3 debug message
616 o cleanup of the build system
617 o para_server and para_client directly use the crypto routines
618 of the openssl library rather than invoking the openssl command
620 o server/audiod: new option --user to switch to the given user
621 when invoked as root. Read the output of "para_server -h" for
623 o gui/sdl_gui: new option --stat_cmd to be used to retrieve the
624 status. Default: "para_audioc stat"
625 o sdl_gui: new option --pic_cmd to be used to download the picture.
626 Default: "para_client pic"
627 o audiod: 5 slots ought to be enough for everybody
628 o audiod: new status item: Uptime, kill hup command

672 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
673 After several month of increased development activity, paraslash-0.2.0
674 has arrived. It contains many new features and is much more
675 self-contained than the old 0.1.x series. Enjoy!
678 o para_server: fix hang on song change and crash on sighup.
679 Speed up mysql queries. The DIR_LIKE macro is gone.
680 o new executables: para_audiod, the local audio daemon that
681 starts playback (uses SCM_CREDENTIALS socket magic) and
682 para_audioc, the corresponding client.
683 o new executables: para_mp3dec/para_oggdec, two really teensy
684 decoders. para_mp3dec is based on libmad, para_oggdec requires
686 o ovsend/ovrecv are capable of streaming ogg as well as mp3, so
687 they are now called para_send and para_recv respectively.
688 o documentation updates
689 o para_gui is themable. For now there is the default theme that
690 looks as before and the simple theme: blue and easy.
691 o gui: audio streaming is now handled by audiod. Time display shows
692 playback time rather than streaming time
693 o slider: update to libzmw-0.2.0
694 o para_krell: fix crash on server shutdown

741 0.1.7 (2005-04-18) "melting penetration"
742 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
743 The main change in this release is clearly the oggvorbis rewrite,
744 but there are also lots of smaller changes. If you intend to use both
745 the mp3 and the ogg plugin, it is recommended to use software mixing,
746 e.g. the dmix plugin which is provided by ALSA.
748 o new executables: para_ovsend and para_ovrecv for sending/receiving
749 oggvorbis files via rtp. Requires the open rtp library. Get it at
750 http://www.linphone.org/ortp/
751 o rewrite of the ogg_vorbis core code
752 o configure detects libzmw and, if detected, includes
753 para_slider to the list of binaries to be built by make
754 o server stream writers read from their associated fifo rather
756 o slider: two new sliders, lastplayed and numplayed
757 o fix nasty double free bug which caused random segfaults in case of
758 mp3 files with invalid header information
759 o gui: new command line option: --stream_timeout=seconds to
760 deactivate a slot if it is idle for that many seconds (default=`5')

791 0.1.6 (2005-03-05) "asymptotic balance"
792 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
793 Only little user-visible changes in this release. Mainly bugfixes and
794 core code cleanup. This is probably the most stable version ever if you
797 o fix several memory leaks
798 o rename default name of mysql database from "music" to "paraslash".
799 Use para_server's --mysql_database option if you do not want to
800 rename your old database.
801 o rework ogg vorbis code
802 o make update command work on mysql servers with LOCAL_INFILE
804 o gui: improved stream I/O (slots)
805 o simplified audio format API
806 o para_pob_ogg is gone
808 0.1.5 (2004-12-31) "opaque eternity"
809 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
810 Let's slide gently into the new year.
812 o new: para_slider (not built automatically, type "make
813 para_slider" to build). A toy for those who always felt that
814 creating stream definitions is difficult. See screenshots,
815 README and FEATURES for more info.
816 o improved signal handling. Fixes server segfault on SIGHUP
817 for linux kernels newer than Aug 24 2004 and makes para_gui
819 o reload database tool on SIGHUP
820 o improved help message for sl
821 o do not log "broken pipe" messages as errors. They are
823 o fix wrong error message on permission errors
825 0.1.4 (2004-12-19) "tunneling transition"
826 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
827 Bugfix release. As expected, 0.1.3 introduced a bunch of new bugs.
828 Hopefully, most of them got wiped out with this release. Some
829 enhancements went also in.
831 o improved error diagnostics for all commands
832 o stradd/picadd: overwrite previous contents if entry already
833 exists, rather than returning errors
834 o stradd: use current stream if invoked without args
835 o faster (and hopefully more stable) ogg-vorbis handling
836 o para_krell: reap children to avoid zombie-flooding in case
838 o si: report also server pid
839 o server: don't busy-loop if dbtool reports only invalid files.
840 o gui: CTRL+C works again, fix stream_read command line option
842 o fix mysql dbtool startup in case no database exists
843 o many small fixes and cleanups
845 0.1.3: (2004-12-10) "vanishing inertia"
846 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
847 Starting from this release, the database tools are integrated in the
848 server binary. This decreases server startup time, reduces code size
849 and speeds up database commands. However, the layout of the underlying
850 mysql database changed only slightly and 0.1.3 should be backwards
851 compatible in that respect.
855 o If mysql is not detected at compile time, or fails to init
856 at runtime, fall back to the dopey database tool which should
858 o para_dbtool and dbtool.conf are gone. All mysql specific
859 options are read from server.conf and are prefixed by 'mysql_'.
860 o new command: cdt (change database tool)
861 o new command line option: dbtool (choose startup database tool)
862 o The name of current stream is now stored in the database,
863 so paraslash remembers its current stream when restarted.
