4 0.?.? (to be announced) "oriented abstraction"
5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7 o the new optional dccp sender/receiver. It uses the datagram
8 congestion control protocol. You'll need a fairly new kernel
11 o compress filter speed improvements
13 o update to libortp-0.9.1
15 o update to gengetopt-2.17
18 0.2.11 (2006-03-11) "atomic duality"
19 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
21 Here it is, the first paraslash release developed with git. There
22 are fairly many user-visible changes in this release. As two out of
23 the three "database tools" of paraslash don't use a database at all,
24 they are now called "audio file selectors" instead.
27 o the cdt command (change database tool) becomes chs (change
30 o no more colon separators: The syntax of some options of
31 para_audiod and para_filter have changed. Use --help for
32 more info (and some examples).
34 o update to gengetopt-2.16 (thanks to Lorenzo Bettini)
36 o switch from cvs to git (should've done that earlier)
38 o the new ipc subsystem
40 o new audio file selector: playlist
42 o para_server: the dopey selector is now called "random",
43 and is the default selector. Use the --selector option to
44 choose another selector at startup, or the chs command to
45 change the selector at runtime.
47 o X86_64 fixes (thanks to Steffen Klassert)
52 0.2.10 (2006-02-17) "cyclic attractor"
53 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
55 Huge documentation update, a scrollable window for para_gui, ortp
56 improvements, and of course many small fixes not mentioned here.
57 The diffstat below is rather misleading as most insertions are due
58 to the new source documentation.
62 o para_server also uses the new error subsystem
64 o lots of new documentation (UTSL)
67 - keysyms for cursor keys and for next/previous page keys
68 - scrollable output window
69 - new internal commands: scroll up/down, page up/down
70 - fix color of command output.
72 o ortp: the --chunk_time and --header flags are no longer needed
73 for para_recv/para_audiod as this information is now encoded in
74 each rtp packet sent by para_server.

146 0.2.9 (2006-01-24) "progressive turbulence"
147 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
149 Internal audiod receivers/filters, the new error subsystem and
150 a lot of small improvements.
152 o para_recv and para_filter are integrated into the para_audiod
153 binary, i.e. audiod no longer spawns a new process for
154 each receiver/filter. As para_recv and para_filter might be
155 useful as standalone programs, they still get built (linked
156 against the same object files that are also used for audiod).
158 o further ortp timing improvements should reduce the CPU usage
159 of the ortp receiver.
161 o improved audio grabbing. The 'grab' command of para_audiod
162 has its own set of command line options. Read the output of
163 "para_audioc help grab" for more info.
165 o oggdec: configurable input prebuffer size.
167 o the new error subsystem gives better error diagnostics
168 and reduces code size.

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

258 0.2.7 (2006-12-27) "transparent invariance"
259 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
260 Not many user-visible changes but a fair amount of internal improvements.
263 o The http sender buffers data if it can not be sent
264 out immediately (because the socket is not writable). This
265 should prevent para_server from shutting down the connection
266 too early on a loaded network.
268 o para_play also prebuffers data if it is told to start at a
269 future time by the --start_time option.
271 o The return of para_recv: It combines para_ortp_recv and
272 para_http_recv. Use the --receiver option to switch between
273 the two. para_recv builds without libortp, but contains
274 only the http receiver in this case.
276 o update to ortp 0.8.1. As this ortp release contains incompatible
277 changes, para_recv-0.2.7 won't link against older ortp libs.
279 o improved ortp timings.
281 o use of gcc-extensions that #define away for non-gcc and
284 New files: gcc-compat.h

334 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
335 Transparent session encryption (uses openssl's Alleged RC4 cipher),
336 the internal find command and several other improvements and cleanups.
338 o Encrypt the session if encryption is requested by the client
339 (default for para_client 0.2.6). This is backwards
340 compatible, so older clients can still connect to para_server
341 0.2.6. Use the new client option --plain to request an
342 uncrypted session (off by default, must be set to on in
343 order to connect to para_server 0.2.x with 0 <= x <= 5).
345 o para_server uses an internal function to locate audio files
346 rather than calling find(1). The server option
347 --mysql_audio_file_dir replaces --mysql_find_cmd.
349 o documentation update
353 o header file cleanup
355 o para_client code cleanup
357 o para_gui: faster display of output of display commands

401 0.2.5 (2005-10-13) "aggressive_resolution"
402 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
403 This release adds internal senders, i.e. no more external programs are
404 spawned for sending out the audio data. There are two different senders
405 available: The http sender and the ortp sender (former para_send which
406 is no longer needed).
408 The new sender code has a plugin-like design so it can be easily
409 extended should there be be any future need for supporting another
410 network streaming protocol. All senders are completely independent of
411 each other. In particular, the http and the ortp sender can operate
414 o new server command: sender to control senders at runtime.
415 Read the output of "para_server -h" and "para_client help
416 sender" for more information.
418 o para_recv renamed to para_ortp_recv
420 o new executable: para_http_recv, a simple command line
423 o major afs/mp3/ogg code simplifications due to internal
426 o ogg timing improvements
428 o fix several minor memory leaks (found by valgrind)
430 o empty stream definitions work again
432 o com_ne(): ignore errors on remove
434 o audiod: fix segfault on server restart

473 - new command: "grab" to grab the output of the stream reader
474 or any filters. Read the output of "para_audioc help grab"
475 for more information.
479 o audioc: new command line option: --bufsize to specify a
480 buffer size different from the default size 8192.
482 o improved error diagnostics for para_play.
484 o new configure option: --enable-ssldir so search for openssl in
487 o sdl_gui: Make it look nice again for 1024x768
489 o server: report total size of memory allocated with sbrk by malloc,
490 new command line option: --announce_time

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

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

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

682 0.2.0 (2005-08-06) "distributed diffusion"
683 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
684 After several month of increased development activity, paraslash-0.2.0
685 has arrived. It contains many new features and is much more
686 self-contained than the old 0.1.x series. Enjoy!
689 o para_server: fix hang on song change and crash on sighup.
690 Speed up mysql queries. The DIR_LIKE macro is gone.
691 o new executables: para_audiod, the local audio daemon that
692 starts playback (uses SCM_CREDENTIALS socket magic) and
693 para_audioc, the corresponding client.
694 o new executables: para_mp3dec/para_oggdec, two really teensy
695 decoders. para_mp3dec is based on libmad, para_oggdec requires
697 o ovsend/ovrecv are capable of streaming ogg as well as mp3, so
698 they are now called para_send and para_recv respectively.
699 o documentation updates
700 o para_gui is themable. For now there is the default theme that
701 looks as before and the simple theme: blue and easy.
702 o gui: audio streaming is now handled by audiod. Time display shows
703 playback time rather than streaming time
704 o slider: update to libzmw-0.2.0
705 o para_krell: fix crash on server shutdown
706 o switch from gzip to bzip2

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

802 0.1.6 (2005-03-05) "asymptotic balance"
803 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
804 Only little user-visible changes in this release. Mainly bugfixes and
805 core code cleanup. This is probably the most stable version ever if you
808 o fix several memory leaks
809 o rename default name of mysql database from "music" to "paraslash".
810 Use para_server's --mysql_database option if you do not want to
811 rename your old database.
812 o rework ogg vorbis code
813 o make update command work on mysql servers with LOCAL_INFILE
815 o gui: improved stream I/O (slots)
816 o simplified audio format API
817 o para_pob_ogg is gone
819 0.1.5 (2004-12-31) "opaque eternity"
820 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
821 Let's slide gently into the new year.
823 o new: para_slider (not built automatically, type "make
824 para_slider" to build). A toy for those who always felt that
825 creating stream definitions is difficult. See screenshots,
826 README and FEATURES for more info.
827 o improved signal handling. Fixes server segfault on SIGHUP
828 for linux kernels newer than Aug 24 2004 and makes para_gui
830 o reload database tool on SIGHUP
831 o improved help message for sl
832 o do not log "broken pipe" messages as errors. They are
834 o fix wrong error message on permission errors
836 0.1.4 (2004-12-19) "tunneling transition"
837 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
838 Bugfix release. As expected, 0.1.3 introduced a bunch of new bugs.
839 Hopefully, most of them got wiped out with this release. Some
840 enhancements went also in.
842 o improved error diagnostics for all commands
843 o stradd/picadd: overwrite previous contents if entry already
844 exists, rather than returning errors
845 o stradd: use current stream if invoked without args
846 o faster (and hopefully more stable) ogg-vorbis handling
847 o para_krell: reap children to avoid zombie-flooding in case
849 o si: report also server pid
850 o server: don't busy-loop if dbtool reports only invalid files.
851 o gui: CTRL+C works again, fix stream_read command line option
853 o fix mysql dbtool startup in case no database exists
854 o many small fixes and cleanups
856 0.1.3: (2004-12-10) "vanishing inertia"
857 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
858 Starting from this release, the database tools are integrated in the
859 server binary. This decreases server startup time, reduces code size
860 and speeds up database commands. However, the layout of the underlying
861 mysql database changed only slightly and 0.1.3 should be backwards
862 compatible in that respect.
866 o If mysql is not detected at compile time, or fails to init
867 at runtime, fall back to the dopey database tool which should
869 o para_dbtool and dbtool.conf are gone. All mysql specific
