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
17 o para_client no longer depends on libreadline (as the
18 code for the interactive mode was removed).
20 o paraslash compiles under Mac Os (thanks to Gerd Becker)
23 0.2.11 (2006-03-11) "atomic duality"
24 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
26 Here it is, the first paraslash release developed with git. There
27 are fairly many user-visible changes in this release. As two out of
28 the three "database tools" of paraslash don't use a database at all,
29 they are now called "audio file selectors" instead.
32 o the cdt command (change database tool) becomes chs (change
35 o no more colon separators: The syntax of some options of
36 para_audiod and para_filter have changed. Use --help for
37 more info (and some examples).
39 o update to gengetopt-2.16 (thanks to Lorenzo Bettini)
41 o switch from cvs to git (should've done that earlier)
43 o the new ipc subsystem
45 o new audio file selector: playlist
47 o para_server: the dopey selector is now called "random",
48 and is the default selector. Use the --selector option to
49 choose another selector at startup, or the chs command to
50 change the selector at runtime.
52 o X86_64 fixes (thanks to Steffen Klassert)
57 0.2.10 (2006-02-17) "cyclic attractor"
58 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
60 Huge documentation update, a scrollable window for para_gui, ortp
61 improvements, and of course many small fixes not mentioned here.
62 The diffstat below is rather misleading as most insertions are due
63 to the new source documentation.
67 o para_server also uses the new error subsystem
69 o lots of new documentation (UTSL)
72 - keysyms for cursor keys and for next/previous page keys
73 - scrollable output window
74 - new internal commands: scroll up/down, page up/down
75 - fix color of command output.
77 o ortp: the --chunk_time and --header flags are no longer needed
78 for para_recv/para_audiod as this information is now encoded in
79 each rtp packet sent by para_server.

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

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

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

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

407 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
408 This release adds internal senders, i.e. no more external programs are
409 spawned for sending out the audio data. There are two different senders
410 available: The http sender and the ortp sender (former para_send which
411 is no longer needed).
413 The new sender code has a plugin-like design so it can be easily
414 extended should there be be any future need for supporting another
415 network streaming protocol. All senders are completely independent of
416 each other. In particular, the http and the ortp sender can operate
419 o new server command: sender to control senders at runtime.
420 Read the output of "para_server -h" and "para_client help
421 sender" for more information.
423 o para_recv renamed to para_ortp_recv
425 o new executable: para_http_recv, a simple command line
428 o major afs/mp3/ogg code simplifications due to internal
431 o ogg timing improvements
433 o fix several minor memory leaks (found by valgrind)
435 o empty stream definitions work again
437 o com_ne(): ignore errors on remove
439 o audiod: fix segfault on server restart

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

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

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

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

687 0.2.0 (2005-08-06) "distributed diffusion"
688 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
689 After several month of increased development activity, paraslash-0.2.0
690 has arrived. It contains many new features and is much more
691 self-contained than the old 0.1.x series. Enjoy!
694 o para_server: fix hang on song change and crash on sighup.
695 Speed up mysql queries. The DIR_LIKE macro is gone.
696 o new executables: para_audiod, the local audio daemon that
697 starts playback (uses SCM_CREDENTIALS socket magic) and
698 para_audioc, the corresponding client.
699 o new executables: para_mp3dec/para_oggdec, two really teensy
700 decoders. para_mp3dec is based on libmad, para_oggdec requires
702 o ovsend/ovrecv are capable of streaming ogg as well as mp3, so
703 they are now called para_send and para_recv respectively.
704 o documentation updates
705 o para_gui is themable. For now there is the default theme that
706 looks as before and the simple theme: blue and easy.
707 o gui: audio streaming is now handled by audiod. Time display shows
708 playback time rather than streaming time
709 o slider: update to libzmw-0.2.0
710 o para_krell: fix crash on server shutdown
711 o switch from gzip to bzip2

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

807 0.1.6 (2005-03-05) "asymptotic balance"
808 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
809 Only little user-visible changes in this release. Mainly bugfixes and
810 core code cleanup. This is probably the most stable version ever if you
813 o fix several memory leaks
814 o rename default name of mysql database from "music" to "paraslash".
815 Use para_server's --mysql_database option if you do not want to
816 rename your old database.
817 o rework ogg vorbis code
818 o make update command work on mysql servers with LOCAL_INFILE
820 o gui: improved stream I/O (slots)
821 o simplified audio format API
822 o para_pob_ogg is gone
824 0.1.5 (2004-12-31) "opaque eternity"
825 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
826 Let's slide gently into the new year.
828 o new: para_slider (not built automatically, type "make
829 para_slider" to build). A toy for those who always felt that
830 creating stream definitions is difficult. See screenshots,
831 README and FEATURES for more info.
832 o improved signal handling. Fixes server segfault on SIGHUP
833 for linux kernels newer than Aug 24 2004 and makes para_gui
835 o reload database tool on SIGHUP
836 o improved help message for sl
837 o do not log "broken pipe" messages as errors. They are
839 o fix wrong error message on permission errors
841 0.1.4 (2004-12-19) "tunneling transition"
842 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
843 Bugfix release. As expected, 0.1.3 introduced a bunch of new bugs.
844 Hopefully, most of them got wiped out with this release. Some
845 enhancements went also in.
847 o improved error diagnostics for all commands
848 o stradd/picadd: overwrite previous contents if entry already
849 exists, rather than returning errors
850 o stradd: use current stream if invoked without args
851 o faster (and hopefully more stable) ogg-vorbis handling
852 o para_krell: reap children to avoid zombie-flooding in case
854 o si: report also server pid
855 o server: don't busy-loop if dbtool reports only invalid files.
856 o gui: CTRL+C works again, fix stream_read command line option
858 o fix mysql dbtool startup in case no database exists
859 o many small fixes and cleanups
861 0.1.3: (2004-12-10) "vanishing inertia"
862 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
863 Starting from this release, the database tools are integrated in the
864 server binary. This decreases server startup time, reduces code size
865 and speeds up database commands. However, the layout of the underlying
866 mysql database changed only slightly and 0.1.3 should be backwards
867 compatible in that respect.
