4 -------------------------------------------------
5 0.3.3 (to be announced) "axiomatic perspectivity"
6 -------------------------------------------------
8 Internal code cleanups, bug fixes, improved tag handling and the new
11 - para_server uses the generic scheduling code.
12 - overhaul of the virtual streaming system.
13 - mp3: id3 version 2 support via libid3tag (optional)
14 - ogg: vorbis comment support.
15 - mp3 audio format handler cleanups.
16 - new filter: "amp" to amplify the amplitude of the audio stream
17 - new status item/database entry: amplification. It is
18 used by the amp filter to pre-amplify the audio stream.
19 - fix a close-without-open bug in para_write.
20 - fix a bug in com_init() which was introduced in 0.3.2.
21 - better error diagnostics for para_client.
23 -----------------------------------------
24 0.3.2 (2008-04-11) "probabilistic parity"
25 -----------------------------------------
27 The new para_afh executable, scheduling and documentation improvements.
29 - new ls option: -lc (list chunk table)
30 - new executable: para_afh, the stand-alone audio file handler tool
31 - afs commands can send output more than SHMMAX (32MB on Linux). This
32 also reduces the memory usage of commands that produce large amounts
34 - major scheduler and audiod cleanups.
35 - more detailed and much nicer man pages.
37 ---------------------------------------
38 0.3.1 (2008-02-23) "liquid interaction"
39 ---------------------------------------
41 A mix of cleanups, bug fixes, improvements, and some new features. No
42 significant changes to the new database (osl) code, which is generally
45 - Share some similar/duplicate code between the http and the
47 - Generic access control lists for paraslash senders.
48 - dccp sender: Access control lists, connection limiting and support
49 for the allow,deny,on,off,help sender commands.
50 - The default dccp port changed from 5001 to 8000 (suggested by
52 - para_server starts even if not all public keys could be loaded.
53 - Audiod performance improvements.
54 - fix a bug in the "off" command of the http sender.
55 - fix some fd and memory leaks.
56 - Update to gengetopt-2.22.
58 -------------------------------------
59 0.3.0 (2008-01-12) "solar saturation"
60 -------------------------------------
62 paraslash.0.3.0 -- 'WWDBND --what would databases never do?'.
65 Usually one might expect lots of new features AND a big increase in size
66 for a major release like this.
68 However, paraslash-0.3.0.tar.bz2 is the smallest paraslash tarball
69 ever. The decrease in size is mostly due to the removal of some
70 graphical tools (which were only quick hacks anyway). But also the
71 fact that the mysql code is gone cuts down the size a bit.
73 Being independent of mysql comes at a cost: The fact that paraslash
74 now contains its own database (the object storage layer, osl) increases
75 the (stripped) binary size of para_server by ~50K on i386.
77 - no more restrictions on unique basenames.
78 - independent of mysql: The new self-contained object
79 storage layer (osl) replaces the mysql database.
80 - New executable para_fsck: Check integrity of osl tables.
82 - Reliable audio file move/rename detection.
83 - More portable than ever: Tested on Linux (x86_32, x86_64, sparc64),
84 MacOS (ppc32, x86_32), FreeBSD (x86_32), NetBSD (x86_32) and
86 - the new osl-based audio file selector (afs) replaces the random,
87 the playlist and the mysql selector of paraslash-0.2.x.
88 - IPv6 support (thanks to Gerrit Renker).
89 - paraslash-0.2.x streams are now called "moods". Writing
90 0.3.x-mood definitions should be both easier and more
91 powerful than writing 0.2.x-stream definitions.
92 - para_krell, para_slider, para_para_sdl_gui, para_dbadm have
93 been removed. The world is a better place without them. However,
94 para_gui is still there.
95 - afs tracks audio file selection also in playlist mode.
96 - few easy-to-use afs commands replace the many not-so-easy-to-use
97 mysql commands (and are available also in playlist mode).
98 - Improved error subsystem.
99 - The earth-shaking new logo.
101 -----------------------------------------
102 0.2.17 (2007-11-20) "isotropic threshold"
103 -----------------------------------------
105 Mainly bugfixes and cleanups in this version which marks the end of
106 the 0.2.x series if no serious bugs show up after the release.
108 - mysql_selector: fix a locking bug.
109 - universal chunk queueing.
110 - dccp sender uses chunk queueing if write() returns EAGAIN (thanks
112 - be more carful wrt. signed vs. unsigned argument passing.
113 - cleanup error.h and fix some references to invalid error
115 - update to gengetopt-2.21.
116 - update to ortp-0.13.1.
117 - autoconf: extend checks for headers, library functions and
118 compiler characteristics.
119 - Fix streaming of large mp3 files.
120 - Fix an off-by-one bug in playlist handling.
122 --------------------------------------
123 0.2.16 (2007-04-05) "neural discharge"
124 --------------------------------------
126 The main change in this release is the major audio format handler
127 cleanup which removes some similar/duplicate code and makes it easier
128 to implement plugins for other audio formats. Of course, the usual mix
129 of other improvements/changes/bugfixes also made it into the release.
131 - simplified audio format handlers (most of the handling functions
132 were moved one layer up to the virtual streaming system).
133 - para_server uses mmap to read audio files
134 - repositioning of mp3 streams is much faster, in particular for
135 jumping near the end of large mp3 files.
136 - permission flags DB_READ,DB_WRITE have been renamed to AFS_READ
138 - fix a bug in para_filter that caused decoding of aac files
139 to start only after a few seconds.
140 - fix osx_writer hangs
141 - simplified dccp code (thanks to Gerrit Renker)
142 - the compress filter works also on big endian systems (ppc)
144 -----------------------------------------
145 0.2.15 (2007-02-16) "inductive resonance"
146 -----------------------------------------
148 Minor improvements, more documentation and a bunch of bug fixes.
150 - para_server: The server.users file is only read once on server
151 startup rather than for each connection
152 - mp3dec: Fix decoding of corrupt mp3 files
153 - afs (audio file sender) is now called vss (virtual streaming
154 system). Consequently, the permission flags specified in
155 ~/.paraslash/server.users have also changed: AFS_READ and AFS_WRITE
156 become VSS_READ and VSS_WRITE respectively.
157 - para_audiod/para_filter: Fix a bug that caused the last chunk
158 of audio data not being written under certain circumstances
159 - audiod: compute the difference of server time and local time
161 - para_server/para_audiod: Fix some memory leaks
162 - documentation improvements
163 - configure.ac: fix checks for para_krell
166 -------------------------------------------
167 0.2.14 (2006-10-15) "transient singularity"
168 -------------------------------------------
170 The only major enhancement of this version is the osx writer which completes
171 the Mac OS Port and was originally planned already for 0.2.13 but had to wait
172 until now for reasons beyond the scope of this changelog entry.
174 - new output plugin for Mac Os: the osx writer
175 - rename configure command line options from --enable-xxx-headers to
176 --with-xxx-headers and --enable-xxx-libs to --with-xxx-libs
177 - configure: new command line options: --with-mad-headers,
178 --with-mad-libs, --with-oggvorbis-headers, and --with-oggvorbis-libs
179 - some robustness fixes
180 - dymamic audio format recognition for audiod
181 - para_server: new command line option: --autoplay_delay
182 - para_audiod: new command line option: --clock_diff_count
184 ---------------------------------------
185 0.2.13 (2006-07-14) "sonic convolution"
186 ---------------------------------------
188 A bunch of new features and core changes.
190 - the new paraslash scheduler, short and sweet.
191 - Support for m4a/mp4 files via the new aac audio format
192 handler/filter (requires libfaad).
193 - each writer has its own command line parser, just like
194 para_recv and para_filter.
195 - para_client and para_audioc use the error subsystem
196 - writers are integrated in para_audiod (currently linux-only)
197 - para_client is integrated in para_audiod
198 - random/playlist selector: improved info strings
199 - new audiod commands: tasks, kill
200 - update to libortp-0.10.1
201 - para_fade: wake time defaults to 8 hours from now
202 - update to autoconf-2.60
205 ------------------------------------------
206 0.2.12 (2006-05-12) "oriented abstraction"
207 ------------------------------------------
209 Many user-visible changes in this release and lots of new
213 - the new optional dccp sender/receiver. It uses the datagram
214 congestion control protocol. You'll need a fairly new kernel
216 - paraslash works on Mac OS X (thanks to Gerd Becker)
217 - para_play renamed to para_write
218 - modular output plugin design (writers) for para_write
219 - new file_writer output plugin for para_write
220 - compress filter speed improvements
221 - update to libortp-0.9.1
222 - update to gengetopt-2.17rc
223 - para_client no longer depends on libreadline (as the
224 code for the interactive mode was removed).
225 - gcc-2-95 is no longer a supported compiler. It may still
226 work, but it gets no more testing.
227 - the tarball no longer contains the screenshot images which
228 reduces its size quite a bit.
229 - configure: new command line options: --enable-mysql-headers
230 and --enable-mysql-libs
232 ------------------------------------
233 0.2.11 (2006-03-11) "atomic duality"
234 ------------------------------------
236 Here it is, the first paraslash release developed with git. There
237 are fairly many user-visible changes in this release. As two out of
238 the three "database tools" of paraslash don't use a database at all,
239 they are now called "audio file selectors" instead.
242 - the cdt command (change database tool) becomes chs (change
244 - no more colon separators: The syntax of some options of
245 para_audiod and para_filter have changed. Use --help for
246 more info (and some examples).
247 - update to gengetopt-2.16 (thanks to Lorenzo Bettini)
248 - switch from cvs to git (should've done that earlier)
249 - the new ipc subsystem
250 - new audio file selector: playlist
251 - para_server: the dopey selector is now called "random",
252 and is the default selector. Use the --selector option to
253 choose another selector at startup, or the chs command to
254 change the selector at runtime.
255 - X86_64 fixes (thanks to Steffen Klassert)
259 --------------------------------------
260 0.2.10 (2006-02-17) "cyclic attractor"
261 --------------------------------------
263 Huge documentation update, a scrollable window for para_gui, ortp
264 improvements, and of course many small fixes not mentioned here.
265 The diffstat below is rather misleading as most insertions are due
266 to the new source documentation.
269 - para_server also uses the new error subsystem
270 - lots of new documentation (UTSL)
272 - keysyms for cursor keys and for next/previous page keys
273 - scrollable output window
274 - new internal commands: scroll up/down, page up/down
275 - fix color of command output.
276 - ortp: the --chunk_time and --header flags are no longer needed
277 for para_recv/para_audiod as this information is now encoded in
278 each rtp packet sent by para_server.
281 -------------------------------------------
282 0.2.9 (2006-01-24) "progressive turbulence"
283 -------------------------------------------
285 Internal audiod receivers/filters, the new error subsystem and
286 a lot of small improvements.
288 - para_recv and para_filter are integrated into the para_audiod
289 binary, i.e. audiod no longer spawns a new process for
290 each receiver/filter. As para_recv and para_filter might be
291 useful as standalone programs, they still get built (linked
292 against the same object files that are also used for audiod).
293 - further ortp timing improvements should reduce the CPU usage
294 of the ortp receiver.
295 - improved audio grabbing. The 'grab' command of para_audiod
296 has its own set of command line options. Read the output of
297 "para_audioc help grab" for more info.
298 - oggdec: configurable input prebuffer size.
299 - the new error subsystem gives better error diagnostics
300 and reduces code size.
303 -----------------------------------------
304 0.2.8 (2006-01-02) "dynamic accumulation"
305 -----------------------------------------
307 The new modular filter design and the para_play-hangs bugfix.
309 - new executable: para_filter. It combines para_mp3dec,
310 para_oggdec and para_compress. It also adds a further filter
311 type, wav, that just inserts a wave header at the desired point
312 of the filter chain. All 'piping' is done in-memory (i.e. no
313 read/write operations are used).
314 - para_play: fix a stupid bug that caused it to hang under
315 certain circumstances.
318 -------------------------------------------
319 0.2.7 (2006-12-27) "transparent invariance"
320 -------------------------------------------
322 Not many user-visible changes but a fair amount of internal improvements.
325 - The http sender buffers data if it can not be sent
326 out immediately (because the socket is not writable). This
327 should prevent para_server from shutting down the connection
328 too early on a loaded network.
329 - para_play also prebuffers data if it is told to start at a
330 future time by the --start_time option.
331 - The return of para_recv: It combines para_ortp_recv and
332 para_http_recv. Use the --receiver option to switch between
333 the two. para_recv builds without libortp, but contains
334 only the http receiver in this case.
335 - update to ortp 0.8.1. As this ortp release contains incompatible
336 changes, para_recv-0.2.7 won't link against older ortp libs.
337 - improved ortp timings.
338 - use of gcc-extensions that #define away for non-gcc and
342 -------------------------------------------
343 0.2.6 (2005-10-29) "recursive compensation"
344 -------------------------------------------
346 Transparent session encryption (uses openssl's Alleged RC4 cipher),
347 the internal find command and several other improvements and cleanups.
349 - Encrypt the session if encryption is requested by the client
350 (default for para_client 0.2.6). This is backwards
351 compatible, so older clients can still connect to para_server
352 0.2.6. Use the new client option --plain to request an
353 uncrypted session (off by default, must be set to on in
354 order to connect to para_server 0.2.x with 0 <= x <= 5).
355 - para_server uses an internal function to locate audio files
356 rather than calling find(1). The server option
357 --mysql_audio_file_dir replaces --mysql_find_cmd.
358 - documentation update
360 - header file cleanup
361 - para_client code cleanup
362 - para_gui: faster display of output of display commands
365 ------------------------------------------
366 0.2.5 (2005-10-13) "aggressive resolution"
367 ------------------------------------------
369 This release adds internal senders, i.e. no more external programs are
370 spawned for sending out the audio data. There are two different senders
371 available: The http sender and the ortp sender (former para_send which
372 is no longer needed).
374 The new sender code has a plugin-like design so it can be easily
375 extended should there be be any future need for supporting another
376 network streaming protocol. All senders are completely independent of
377 each other. In particular, the http and the ortp sender can operate
380 - new server command: sender to control senders at runtime.
381 Read the output of "para_server -h" and "para_client help
382 sender" for more information.
383 - para_recv renamed to para_ortp_recv
384 - new executable: para_http_recv, a simple command line
386 - major afs/mp3/ogg code simplifications due to internal
388 - ogg timing improvements
389 - fix several minor memory leaks (found by valgrind)
390 - empty stream definitions work again
391 - com_ne(): ignore errors on remove
392 - audiod: fix segfault on server restart
395 ---------------------------------------
396 0.2.4 (2005-09-21) "toxic anticipation"
397 ---------------------------------------
399 Several small improvements, fixes and the new grab command.
402 - new command: "grab" to grab the output of the stream reader
403 or any filters. Read the output of "para_audioc help grab"
404 for more information.
407 - audioc: new command line option: --bufsize to specify a
408 buffer size different from the default size 8192.
409 - improved error diagnostics for para_play.
410 - new configure option: --enable-ssldir so search for openssl in
412 - sdl_gui: Make it look nice again for 1024x768
413 - server: report total size of memory allocated with sbrk by malloc,
414 new command line option: --announce_time
417 -----------------------------------------
418 0.2.3 (2005-09-01) "hydrophilic movement"
419 -----------------------------------------
421 Two new executables and major feature enhancements.
423 - audiod filters: It is now possible to specify arbitrary many
424 (including none) filters for each supported audio
425 format. This can be used e.g. for normalizing volume,
426 transforming or grabbing the audio stream, or for using
427 visualizers. Read the output of "para_audiod -h" for the
428 syntax of the new --filter_cmd option.
429 - new executable: para_play, a tiny alsa player. It
430 can play wave files or raw pcm (16 bit little endian)
432 - new executable: para_compress, a dynamic range compressor
433 intended to keep audio output at a consistent volume. Derived
434 from AudioCompress, http://trikuare.cx/code/AudioCompress.html.
435 - audiod: New option: --stream_delay. This can be used in
436 a local network to syncronize the audio output of all
437 clients that play the same stream.
440 ------------------------------------------
441 0.2.2 (2005-08-19) "tangential excitation"
442 ------------------------------------------
444 Mostly internal changes in this release, but also some new commands
445 for the mysql database tool.
447 - cleanup exec.c, fix para_exec bug
448 - compile time loglevel (log messages below the given level
449 won't be compiled in, which reduces the size of the
451 - new log macros that shorten the size of the source code.
452 - workaround a gcc-4.1 bug (?) that caused send_cred_buffer()
453 to send only zeros. With this workaround, para_audioc works
455 - avoid gcc-4 warning: conflicting types for built-in function 'clog'
456 - new mysql commands: "rm" (remove entry), "mv" (rename entry) "ne"
457 (new entry), "snp" (set numplayed). Read the manual for more
461 ---------------------------------------
462 0.2.1 (2005-08-15) "surreal experience"
463 ---------------------------------------
465 Here comes paraslash-0.2.1. It contains a couple of new features and,
466 surprise, only minor bug fixes.
468 - kill noisy mp3 debug message
469 - cleanup of the build system
470 - para_server and para_client directly use the crypto routines
471 of the openssl library rather than invoking the openssl command
473 - server/audiod: new option --user to switch to the given user
474 when invoked as root. Read the output of "para_server -h" for
476 - gui/sdl_gui: new option --stat_cmd to be used to retrieve the
477 status. Default: "para_audioc stat"
478 - sdl_gui: new option --pic_cmd to be used to download the picture.
479 Default: "para_client pic"
480 - audiod: 5 slots ought to be enough for everybody
481 - audiod: new status item: Uptime, kill hup command
485 ------------------------------------------
486 0.2.0 (2005-08-06) "distributed diffusion"
487 ------------------------------------------
489 After several month of increased development activity, paraslash-0.2.0
490 has arrived. It contains many new features and is much more
491 self-contained than the old 0.1.x series. Enjoy!
494 - para_server: fix hang on song change and crash on sighup.
495 Speed up mysql queries. The DIR_LIKE macro is gone.
496 - new executables: para_audiod, the local audio daemon that
497 starts playback (uses SCM_CREDENTIALS socket magic) and
498 para_audioc, the corresponding client.
499 - new executables: para_mp3dec/para_oggdec, two really teensy
500 decoders. para_mp3dec is based on libmad, para_oggdec requires
502 - ovsend/ovrecv are capable of streaming ogg as well as mp3, so
503 they are now called para_send and para_recv respectively.
504 - documentation updates
505 - para_gui is themable. For now there is the default theme that
506 looks as before and the simple theme: blue and easy.
507 - gui: audio streaming is now handled by audiod. Time display shows
508 playback time rather than streaming time
509 - slider: update to libzmw-0.2.0
510 - para_krell: fix crash on server shutdown
511 - switch from gzip to bzip2
514 ----------------------------------------
515 0.1.7 (2005-04-18) "melting penetration"
516 ----------------------------------------
518 The main change in this release is clearly the oggvorbis rewrite,
519 but there are also lots of smaller changes. If you intend to use both
520 the mp3 and the ogg plugin, it is recommended to use software mixing,
521 e.g. the dmix plugin which is provided by ALSA.
523 - new executables: para_ovsend and para_ovrecv for sending/receiving
524 oggvorbis files via rtp. Requires the open rtp library. Get it at
525 http://www.linphone.org/ortp/
526 - rewrite of the ogg_vorbis core code
527 - configure detects libzmw and, if detected, includes
528 para_slider to the list of binaries to be built by make
529 - server stream writers read from their associated fifo rather
531 - slider: two new sliders, lastplayed and numplayed
532 - fix nasty double free bug which caused random segfaults in case of
533 mp3 files with invalid header information
534 - gui: new command line option: --stream_timeout=seconds to
535 deactivate a slot if it is idle for that many seconds (default=`5')
539 ---------------------------------------
540 0.1.6 (2005-03-05) "asymptotic balance"
541 ---------------------------------------
543 Only little user-visible changes in this release. Mainly bugfixes and
544 core code cleanup. This is probably the most stable version ever if you
547 - fix several memory leaks
548 - rename default name of mysql database from "music" to "paraslash".
549 Use para_server's --mysql_database option if you do not want to
550 rename your old database.
551 - rework ogg vorbis code
552 - make update command work on mysql servers with LOCAL_INFILE
554 - gui: improved stream I/O (slots)
555 - simplified audio format API
556 - para_pob_ogg is gone
558 ------------------------------------
559 0.1.5 (2004-12-31) "opaque eternity"
560 ------------------------------------
562 Let's slide gently into the new year.
564 - new: para_slider (not built automatically, type "make
565 para_slider" to build). A toy for those who always felt that
566 creating stream definitions is difficult. See screenshots,
567 README and FEATURES for more info.
568 - improved signal handling. Fixes server segfault on SIGHUP
569 for linux kernels newer than Aug 24 2004 and makes para_gui
571 - reload database tool on SIGHUP
572 - improved help message for sl
573 - do not log "broken pipe" messages as errors. They are
575 - fix wrong error message on permission errors
577 -----------------------------------------
578 0.1.4 (2004-12-19) "tunneling transition"
579 -----------------------------------------
581 Bugfix release. As expected, 0.1.3 introduced a bunch of new bugs.
582 Hopefully, most of them got wiped out with this release. Some
583 enhancements went also in.
585 - improved error diagnostics for all commands
586 - stradd/picadd: overwrite previous contents if entry already
587 exists, rather than returning errors
588 - stradd: use current stream if invoked without args
589 - faster (and hopefully more stable) ogg-vorbis handling
590 - para_krell: reap children to avoid zombie-flooding in case
592 - si: report also server pid
593 - server: don't busy-loop if dbtool reports only invalid files.
594 - gui: CTRL+C works again, fix stream_read command line option
596 - fix mysql dbtool startup in case no database exists
597 - many small fixes and cleanups
599 ---------------------------------------
600 0.1.3: (2004-12-10) "vanishing inertia"
601 ---------------------------------------
603 Starting from this release, the database tools are integrated in the
604 server binary. This decreases server startup time, reduces code size
605 and speeds up database commands. However, the layout of the underlying
606 mysql database changed only slightly and 0.1.3 should be backwards
607 compatible in that respect.
611 - If mysql is not detected at compile time, or fails to init
612 at runtime, fall back to the dopey database tool which should
614 - para_dbtool and dbtool.conf are gone. All mysql specific
615 options are read from server.conf and are prefixed by 'mysql_'.
616 - new command: cdt (change database tool)
617 - new command line option: dbtool (choose startup database tool)
618 - The name of current stream is now stored in the database,
619 so paraslash remembers its current stream when restarted.
620 - new command: csp (change stream and play)
621 - para_gui also reports current database tool and server uptime
624 -------------------------------------------
625 0.1.2: (2004-11-28) "spherical fluctuation"
626 -------------------------------------------

659 - rename projectname from icc to paraslash (play, archive, rate
660 and stream large audio sets happily)
661 - paraslash is no longer restricted to one particular audio
663 - new dbtool commands (stradd, strq, strdel) for easy stream
664 managment w/o configuration file. That obsoletes stream_defs
