4 0.2.12 (2006-05-12) "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 works on Mac OS X (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-2.17rc
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
40 0.2.11 (2006-03-11) "atomic duality"
41 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
43 Here it is, the first paraslash release developed with git. There
44 are fairly many user-visible changes in this release. As two out of
45 the three "database tools" of paraslash don't use a database at all,
46 they are now called "audio file selectors" instead.
49 o the cdt command (change database tool) becomes chs (change
52 o no more colon separators: The syntax of some options of
53 para_audiod and para_filter have changed. Use --help for
54 more info (and some examples).
56 o update to gengetopt-2.16 (thanks to Lorenzo Bettini)
58 o switch from cvs to git (should've done that earlier)
60 o the new ipc subsystem
62 o new audio file selector: playlist
64 o para_server: the dopey selector is now called "random",
65 and is the default selector. Use the --selector option to
66 choose another selector at startup, or the chs command to
67 change the selector at runtime.
69 o X86_64 fixes (thanks to Steffen Klassert)
74 0.2.10 (2006-02-17) "cyclic attractor"
75 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
77 Huge documentation update, a scrollable window for para_gui, ortp
78 improvements, and of course many small fixes not mentioned here.
79 The diffstat below is rather misleading as most insertions are due
80 to the new source documentation.
84 o para_server also uses the new error subsystem
86 o lots of new documentation (UTSL)
89 - keysyms for cursor keys and for next/previous page keys
90 - scrollable output window
91 - new internal commands: scroll up/down, page up/down
92 - fix color of command output.
94 o ortp: the --chunk_time and --header flags are no longer needed
95 for para_recv/para_audiod as this information is now encoded in
96 each rtp packet sent by para_server.

168 0.2.9 (2006-01-24) "progressive turbulence"
169 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
171 Internal audiod receivers/filters, the new error subsystem and
172 a lot of small improvements.
174 o para_recv and para_filter are integrated into the para_audiod
175 binary, i.e. audiod no longer spawns a new process for
176 each receiver/filter. As para_recv and para_filter might be
177 useful as standalone programs, they still get built (linked
178 against the same object files that are also used for audiod).
180 o further ortp timing improvements should reduce the CPU usage
181 of the ortp receiver.
183 o improved audio grabbing. The 'grab' command of para_audiod
184 has its own set of command line options. Read the output of
185 "para_audioc help grab" for more info.
187 o oggdec: configurable input prebuffer size.
189 o the new error subsystem gives better error diagnostics
190 and reduces code size.

243 0.2.8 (2006-01-02) "dynamic accumulation"
244 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
246 The new modular filter design and the para_play-hangs bugfix.
248 o new executable: para_filter. It combines para_mp3dec,
249 para_oggdec and para_compress. It also adds a further filter
250 type, wav, that just inserts a wave header at the desired point
251 of the filter chain. All 'piping' is done in-memory (i.e. no
252 read/write operations are used).
254 o para_play: fix a stupid bug that caused it to hang under
255 certain circumstances.

280 0.2.7 (2006-12-27) "transparent invariance"
281 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
282 Not many user-visible changes but a fair amount of internal improvements.
285 o The http sender buffers data if it can not be sent
286 out immediately (because the socket is not writable). This
287 should prevent para_server from shutting down the connection
288 too early on a loaded network.
290 o para_play also prebuffers data if it is told to start at a
291 future time by the --start_time option.
293 o The return of para_recv: It combines para_ortp_recv and
294 para_http_recv. Use the --receiver option to switch between
295 the two. para_recv builds without libortp, but contains
296 only the http receiver in this case.
298 o update to ortp 0.8.1. As this ortp release contains incompatible
299 changes, para_recv-0.2.7 won't link against older ortp libs.
301 o improved ortp timings.
303 o use of gcc-extensions that #define away for non-gcc and
306 New files: gcc-compat.h

355 0.2.6 (2005-10-29) "recursive compensation"
356 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
357 Transparent session encryption (uses openssl's Alleged RC4 cipher),
358 the internal find command and several other improvements and cleanups.
360 o Encrypt the session if encryption is requested by the client
361 (default for para_client 0.2.6). This is backwards
362 compatible, so older clients can still connect to para_server
363 0.2.6. Use the new client option --plain to request an
364 uncrypted session (off by default, must be set to on in
365 order to connect to para_server 0.2.x with 0 <= x <= 5).
367 o para_server uses an internal function to locate audio files
368 rather than calling find(1). The server option
369 --mysql_audio_file_dir replaces --mysql_find_cmd.
371 o documentation update
375 o header file cleanup
377 o para_client code cleanup
379 o para_gui: faster display of output of display commands

423 0.2.5 (2005-10-13) "aggressive_resolution"
424 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
425 This release adds internal senders, i.e. no more external programs are
426 spawned for sending out the audio data. There are two different senders
427 available: The http sender and the ortp sender (former para_send which
428 is no longer needed).
430 The new sender code has a plugin-like design so it can be easily
431 extended should there be be any future need for supporting another
432 network streaming protocol. All senders are completely independent of
433 each other. In particular, the http and the ortp sender can operate
436 o new server command: sender to control senders at runtime.
437 Read the output of "para_server -h" and "para_client help
438 sender" for more information.
440 o para_recv renamed to para_ortp_recv
442 o new executable: para_http_recv, a simple command line
445 o major afs/mp3/ogg code simplifications due to internal
448 o ogg timing improvements
450 o fix several minor memory leaks (found by valgrind)
452 o empty stream definitions work again
454 o com_ne(): ignore errors on remove
456 o audiod: fix segfault on server restart

491 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
492 Several small improvements, fixes and the new grab command.
495 - new command: "grab" to grab the output of the stream reader
496 or any filters. Read the output of "para_audioc help grab"
497 for more information.
501 o audioc: new command line option: --bufsize to specify a
502 buffer size different from the default size 8192.
504 o improved error diagnostics for para_play.
506 o new configure option: --enable-ssldir so search for openssl in
509 o sdl_gui: Make it look nice again for 1024x768
511 o server: report total size of memory allocated with sbrk by malloc,
512 new command line option: --announce_time

547 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
548 Two new executables and major feature enhancements.
550 o audiod filters: It is now possible to specify arbitrary many
551 (including none) filters for each supported audio
552 format. This can be used e.g. for normalizing volume,
553 transforming or grabbing the audio stream, or for using
554 visualizers. Read the output of "para_audiod -h" for the
555 syntax of the new --filter_cmd option.
557 o new executable: para_play, a tiny alsa player. It
558 can play wave files or raw pcm (16 bit little endian)
561 o new executable: para_compress, a dynamic range compressor
562 intended to keep audio output at a consistent volume. Derived
563 from AudioCompress, http://trikuare.cx/code/AudioCompress.html.
565 o audiod: New option: --stream_delay. This can be used in
566 a local network to syncronize the audio output of all
567 clients that play the same stream.

590 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
591 Mostly internal changes in this release, but also some new commands
592 for the mysql database tool.
594 o cleanup exec.c, fix para_exec bug
595 o compile time loglevel (log messages below the given level
596 won't be compiled in, which reduces the size of the
598 o new log macros that shorten the size of the source code.
599 o workaround a gcc-4.1 bug (?) that caused send_cred_buffer()
600 to send only zeros. With this workaround, para_audioc works
602 o avoid gcc-4 warning: conflicting types for built-in function 'clog'
603 o new mysql commands: "rm" (remove entry), "mv" (rename entry) "ne"
604 (new entry), "snp" (set numplayed). Read the manual for more

644 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
645 Here comes paraslash-0.2.1. It contains a couple of new features and,
646 surprise, only minor bug fixes.
648 o kill noisy mp3 debug message
649 o cleanup of the build system
650 o para_server and para_client directly use the crypto routines
651 of the openssl library rather than invoking the openssl command
653 o server/audiod: new option --user to switch to the given user
654 when invoked as root. Read the output of "para_server -h" for
656 o gui/sdl_gui: new option --stat_cmd to be used to retrieve the
657 status. Default: "para_audioc stat"
658 o sdl_gui: new option --pic_cmd to be used to download the picture.
659 Default: "para_client pic"
660 o audiod: 5 slots ought to be enough for everybody
661 o audiod: new status item: Uptime, kill hup command
664 New files: crypt.c crypt.h

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

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

824 0.1.6 (2005-03-05) "asymptotic balance"
825 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
826 Only little user-visible changes in this release. Mainly bugfixes and
827 core code cleanup. This is probably the most stable version ever if you
830 o fix several memory leaks
831 o rename default name of mysql database from "music" to "paraslash".
832 Use para_server's --mysql_database option if you do not want to
833 rename your old database.
834 o rework ogg vorbis code
835 o make update command work on mysql servers with LOCAL_INFILE
837 o gui: improved stream I/O (slots)
838 o simplified audio format API
839 o para_pob_ogg is gone
841 0.1.5 (2004-12-31) "opaque eternity"
842 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
843 Let's slide gently into the new year.
845 o new: para_slider (not built automatically, type "make
846 para_slider" to build). A toy for those who always felt that
847 creating stream definitions is difficult. See screenshots,
848 README and FEATURES for more info.
849 o improved signal handling. Fixes server segfault on SIGHUP
850 for linux kernels newer than Aug 24 2004 and makes para_gui
852 o reload database tool on SIGHUP
853 o improved help message for sl
854 o do not log "broken pipe" messages as errors. They are
856 o fix wrong error message on permission errors
858 0.1.4 (2004-12-19) "tunneling transition"
859 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
860 Bugfix release. As expected, 0.1.3 introduced a bunch of new bugs.
861 Hopefully, most of them got wiped out with this release. Some
862 enhancements went also in.
864 o improved error diagnostics for all commands
865 o stradd/picadd: overwrite previous contents if entry already
866 exists, rather than returning errors
867 o stradd: use current stream if invoked without args
868 o faster (and hopefully more stable) ogg-vorbis handling
869 o para_krell: reap children to avoid zombie-flooding in case
871 o si: report also server pid
872 o server: don't busy-loop if dbtool reports only invalid files.
873 o gui: CTRL+C works again, fix stream_read command line option
875 o fix mysql dbtool startup in case no database exists
876 o many small fixes and cleanups
878 0.1.3: (2004-12-10) "vanishing inertia"
879 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
880 Starting from this release, the database tools are integrated in the
881 server binary. This decreases server startup time, reduces code size
882 and speeds up database commands. However, the layout of the underlying
883 mysql database changed only slightly and 0.1.3 should be backwards
884 compatible in that respect.
888 o If mysql is not detected at compile time, or fails to init
889 at runtime, fall back to the dopey database tool which should
891 o para_dbtool and dbtool.conf are gone. All mysql specific
892 options are read from server.conf and are prefixed by 'mysql_'.
893 o new command: cdt (change database tool)
894 o new command line option: dbtool (choose startup database tool)
895 o The name of current stream is now stored in the database,
896 so paraslash remembers its current stream when restarted.
897 o new command: csp (change stream and play)
898 o para_gui also reports current database tool and server uptime
901 0.1.2: (2004-11-28) "spherical fluctuation"
902 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

926 0.0.99: (2004-07-25) "harmonic deviation"
927 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
928 o rename projectname from icc to paraslash (play, archive, rate
929 and stream large audio sets happily)
930 o paraslash is no longer restricted to one particular audio
932 o new dbtool commands (stradd, strq, strdel) for easy stream
933 managment w/o configuration file. That obsoletes stream_defs
934 file/config option for dbtool.

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