4 0.?.? (to be announced) "oriented abstraction"
5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
6 Many user-visible changes in this release and lots of new
10 o the new optional dccp sender/receiver. It uses the datagram
11 congestion control protocol. You'll need a fairly new kernel
14 o paraslash compiles under MacOs (thanks to Gerd Becker)
16 o para_play renamed to para_write
18 o modular output plugin design (writers) for para_write
20 o new file_writer output plugin for para_write
22 o compress filter speed improvements
24 o update to libortp-0.9.1
26 o update to gengetopt-2.17
28 o para_client no longer depends on libreadline (as the
29 code for the interactive mode was removed).
31 o gcc-2-95 is no longer a supported compiler. It may still
32 work, but it gets no more testing.
34 o the tarball no longer contains the screenshot images which
35 reduces its size quite a bit.
37 o configure: new command line options: --enable-mysql-headers
38 and --enable-mysql-libs
42 0.2.11 (2006-03-11) "atomic duality"
43 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
45 Here it is, the first paraslash release developed with git. There
46 are fairly many user-visible changes in this release. As two out of
47 the three "database tools" of paraslash don't use a database at all,
48 they are now called "audio file selectors" instead.
51 o the cdt command (change database tool) becomes chs (change
54 o no more colon separators: The syntax of some options of
55 para_audiod and para_filter have changed. Use --help for
56 more info (and some examples).
58 o update to gengetopt-2.16 (thanks to Lorenzo Bettini)
60 o switch from cvs to git (should've done that earlier)
62 o the new ipc subsystem
64 o new audio file selector: playlist
66 o para_server: the dopey selector is now called "random",
67 and is the default selector. Use the --selector option to
68 choose another selector at startup, or the chs command to
69 change the selector at runtime.
71 o X86_64 fixes (thanks to Steffen Klassert)
76 0.2.10 (2006-02-17) "cyclic attractor"
77 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
79 Huge documentation update, a scrollable window for para_gui, ortp
80 improvements, and of course many small fixes not mentioned here.
81 The diffstat below is rather misleading as most insertions are due
82 to the new source documentation.
86 o para_server also uses the new error subsystem
88 o lots of new documentation (UTSL)
91 - keysyms for cursor keys and for next/previous page keys
92 - scrollable output window
93 - new internal commands: scroll up/down, page up/down
94 - fix color of command output.
96 o ortp: the --chunk_time and --header flags are no longer needed
97 for para_recv/para_audiod as this information is now encoded in
98 each rtp packet sent by para_server.

170 0.2.9 (2006-01-24) "progressive turbulence"
171 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
173 Internal audiod receivers/filters, the new error subsystem and
174 a lot of small improvements.
176 o para_recv and para_filter are integrated into the para_audiod
177 binary, i.e. audiod no longer spawns a new process for
178 each receiver/filter. As para_recv and para_filter might be
179 useful as standalone programs, they still get built (linked
180 against the same object files that are also used for audiod).
182 o further ortp timing improvements should reduce the CPU usage
183 of the ortp receiver.
185 o improved audio grabbing. The 'grab' command of para_audiod
186 has its own set of command line options. Read the output of
187 "para_audioc help grab" for more info.
189 o oggdec: configurable input prebuffer size.
191 o the new error subsystem gives better error diagnostics
192 and reduces code size.

245 0.2.8 (2006-01-02) "dynamic accumulation"
246 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
248 The new modular filter design and the para_play-hangs bugfix.
250 o new executable: para_filter. It combines para_mp3dec,
251 para_oggdec and para_compress. It also adds a further filter
252 type, wav, that just inserts a wave header at the desired point
253 of the filter chain. All 'piping' is done in-memory (i.e. no
254 read/write operations are used).
256 o para_play: fix a stupid bug that caused it to hang under
257 certain circumstances.

282 0.2.7 (2006-12-27) "transparent invariance"
283 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
284 Not many user-visible changes but a fair amount of internal improvements.
287 o The http sender buffers data if it can not be sent
288 out immediately (because the socket is not writable). This
289 should prevent para_server from shutting down the connection
290 too early on a loaded network.
292 o para_play also prebuffers data if it is told to start at a
293 future time by the --start_time option.
295 o The return of para_recv: It combines para_ortp_recv and
296 para_http_recv. Use the --receiver option to switch between
297 the two. para_recv builds without libortp, but contains
298 only the http receiver in this case.
300 o update to ortp 0.8.1. As this ortp release contains incompatible
301 changes, para_recv-0.2.7 won't link against older ortp libs.
303 o improved ortp timings.
305 o use of gcc-extensions that #define away for non-gcc and
308 New files: gcc-compat.h

357 0.2.6 (2005-10-29) "recursive compensation"
358 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
359 Transparent session encryption (uses openssl's Alleged RC4 cipher),
360 the internal find command and several other improvements and cleanups.
362 o Encrypt the session if encryption is requested by the client
363 (default for para_client 0.2.6). This is backwards
364 compatible, so older clients can still connect to para_server
365 0.2.6. Use the new client option --plain to request an
366 uncrypted session (off by default, must be set to on in
367 order to connect to para_server 0.2.x with 0 <= x <= 5).
369 o para_server uses an internal function to locate audio files
370 rather than calling find(1). The server option
371 --mysql_audio_file_dir replaces --mysql_find_cmd.
373 o documentation update
377 o header file cleanup
379 o para_client code cleanup
381 o para_gui: faster display of output of display commands

425 0.2.5 (2005-10-13) "aggressive_resolution"
426 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
427 This release adds internal senders, i.e. no more external programs are
428 spawned for sending out the audio data. There are two different senders
429 available: The http sender and the ortp sender (former para_send which
430 is no longer needed).
432 The new sender code has a plugin-like design so it can be easily
433 extended should there be be any future need for supporting another
434 network streaming protocol. All senders are completely independent of
435 each other. In particular, the http and the ortp sender can operate
438 o new server command: sender to control senders at runtime.
439 Read the output of "para_server -h" and "para_client help
440 sender" for more information.
442 o para_recv renamed to para_ortp_recv
444 o new executable: para_http_recv, a simple command line
447 o major afs/mp3/ogg code simplifications due to internal
450 o ogg timing improvements
452 o fix several minor memory leaks (found by valgrind)
454 o empty stream definitions work again
456 o com_ne(): ignore errors on remove
458 o audiod: fix segfault on server restart

493 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
494 Several small improvements, fixes and the new grab command.
497 - new command: "grab" to grab the output of the stream reader
498 or any filters. Read the output of "para_audioc help grab"
499 for more information.
503 o audioc: new command line option: --bufsize to specify a
504 buffer size different from the default size 8192.
506 o improved error diagnostics for para_play.
508 o new configure option: --enable-ssldir so search for openssl in
511 o sdl_gui: Make it look nice again for 1024x768
513 o server: report total size of memory allocated with sbrk by malloc,
514 new command line option: --announce_time

549 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
550 Two new executables and major feature enhancements.
552 o audiod filters: It is now possible to specify arbitrary many
553 (including none) filters for each supported audio
554 format. This can be used e.g. for normalizing volume,
555 transforming or grabbing the audio stream, or for using
556 visualizers. Read the output of "para_audiod -h" for the
557 syntax of the new --filter_cmd option.
559 o new executable: para_play, a tiny alsa player. It
560 can play wave files or raw pcm (16 bit little endian)
563 o new executable: para_compress, a dynamic range compressor
564 intended to keep audio output at a consistent volume. Derived
565 from AudioCompress, http://trikuare.cx/code/AudioCompress.html.
567 o audiod: New option: --stream_delay. This can be used in
568 a local network to syncronize the audio output of all
569 clients that play the same stream.

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

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

706 0.2.0 (2005-08-06) "distributed diffusion"
707 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
708 After several month of increased development activity, paraslash-0.2.0
709 has arrived. It contains many new features and is much more
710 self-contained than the old 0.1.x series. Enjoy!
713 o para_server: fix hang on song change and crash on sighup.
714 Speed up mysql queries. The DIR_LIKE macro is gone.
715 o new executables: para_audiod, the local audio daemon that
716 starts playback (uses SCM_CREDENTIALS socket magic) and
717 para_audioc, the corresponding client.
718 o new executables: para_mp3dec/para_oggdec, two really teensy
719 decoders. para_mp3dec is based on libmad, para_oggdec requires
721 o ovsend/ovrecv are capable of streaming ogg as well as mp3, so
722 they are now called para_send and para_recv respectively.
723 o documentation updates
724 o para_gui is themable. For now there is the default theme that
725 looks as before and the simple theme: blue and easy.
726 o gui: audio streaming is now handled by audiod. Time display shows
727 playback time rather than streaming time
728 o slider: update to libzmw-0.2.0
729 o para_krell: fix crash on server shutdown
730 o switch from gzip to bzip2

776 0.1.7 (2005-04-18) "melting penetration"
777 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
778 The main change in this release is clearly the oggvorbis rewrite,
779 but there are also lots of smaller changes. If you intend to use both
780 the mp3 and the ogg plugin, it is recommended to use software mixing,
781 e.g. the dmix plugin which is provided by ALSA.
783 o new executables: para_ovsend and para_ovrecv for sending/receiving
784 oggvorbis files via rtp. Requires the open rtp library. Get it at
785 http://www.linphone.org/ortp/
786 o rewrite of the ogg_vorbis core code
787 o configure detects libzmw and, if detected, includes
788 para_slider to the list of binaries to be built by make
789 o server stream writers read from their associated fifo rather
791 o slider: two new sliders, lastplayed and numplayed
792 o fix nasty double free bug which caused random segfaults in case of
793 mp3 files with invalid header information
794 o gui: new command line option: --stream_timeout=seconds to
795 deactivate a slot if it is idle for that many seconds (default=`5')

826 0.1.6 (2005-03-05) "asymptotic balance"
827 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
828 Only little user-visible changes in this release. Mainly bugfixes and
829 core code cleanup. This is probably the most stable version ever if you
832 o fix several memory leaks
833 o rename default name of mysql database from "music" to "paraslash".
834 Use para_server's --mysql_database option if you do not want to
835 rename your old database.
836 o rework ogg vorbis code
837 o make update command work on mysql servers with LOCAL_INFILE
839 o gui: improved stream I/O (slots)
840 o simplified audio format API
841 o para_pob_ogg is gone
843 0.1.5 (2004-12-31) "opaque eternity"
844 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
845 Let's slide gently into the new year.
847 o new: para_slider (not built automatically, type "make
848 para_slider" to build). A toy for those who always felt that
849 creating stream definitions is difficult. See screenshots,
850 README and FEATURES for more info.
851 o improved signal handling. Fixes server segfault on SIGHUP
852 for linux kernels newer than Aug 24 2004 and makes para_gui
854 o reload database tool on SIGHUP
855 o improved help message for sl
856 o do not log "broken pipe" messages as errors. They are
858 o fix wrong error message on permission errors
860 0.1.4 (2004-12-19) "tunneling transition"
861 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
862 Bugfix release. As expected, 0.1.3 introduced a bunch of new bugs.
863 Hopefully, most of them got wiped out with this release. Some
864 enhancements went also in.
866 o improved error diagnostics for all commands
867 o stradd/picadd: overwrite previous contents if entry already
868 exists, rather than returning errors
869 o stradd: use current stream if invoked without args
870 o faster (and hopefully more stable) ogg-vorbis handling
871 o para_krell: reap children to avoid zombie-flooding in case
873 o si: report also server pid
874 o server: don't busy-loop if dbtool reports only invalid files.
875 o gui: CTRL+C works again, fix stream_read command line option
877 o fix mysql dbtool startup in case no database exists
878 o many small fixes and cleanups
880 0.1.3: (2004-12-10) "vanishing inertia"
881 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
882 Starting from this release, the database tools are integrated in the
883 server binary. This decreases server startup time, reduces code size
884 and speeds up database commands. However, the layout of the underlying
885 mysql database changed only slightly and 0.1.3 should be backwards
886 compatible in that respect.
890 o If mysql is not detected at compile time, or fails to init
891 at runtime, fall back to the dopey database tool which should
893 o para_dbtool and dbtool.conf are gone. All mysql specific
894 options are read from server.conf and are prefixed by 'mysql_'.
895 o new command: cdt (change database tool)
896 o new command line option: dbtool (choose startup database tool)
897 o The name of current stream is now stored in the database,
898 so paraslash remembers its current stream when restarted.
899 o new command: csp (change stream and play)
900 o para_gui also reports current database tool and server uptime
903 0.1.2: (2004-11-28) "spherical fluctuation"
904 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
905 Point release before the big dbtool changes go in.

928 0.0.99: (2004-07-25) "harmonic deviation"
929 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
930 o rename projectname from icc to paraslash (play, archive, rate
931 and stream large audio sets happily)
932 o paraslash is no longer restricted to one particular audio
934 o new dbtool commands (stradd, strq, strdel) for easy stream
935 managment w/o configuration file. That obsoletes stream_defs
936 file/config option for dbtool.

938 o new server commands: ps (select previous stream), sc (song change)
939 o new default pictures for sdl_gui
940 o gui: new key_map option for binding commands and internal

957 o gui can start decoder (see config options). Further new gui
958 commands: refresh (^L), jmp (F1-F10)
