4 0.?.? (to be announced) "sonic convolution"
5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7 A bunch of new features and core changes.
9 o the new paraslash scheduler, short and sweet.
11 o Support for m4a files via the new aac filter/ and audio
12 format handler. (requires libfaad)
14 o new writer: osxplay (thanks to Gerd Becker)
16 o writers are integrated into para_audiod
18 o each writer of para_write has its own command line parser,
19 just like para_recv and para_filter.
21 o random/playlist selector: improved info strings
24 0.2.12 (2006-05-12) "oriented abstraction"
25 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
27 Many user-visible changes in this release and lots of new
31 o the new optional dccp sender/receiver. It uses the datagram
32 congestion control protocol. You'll need a fairly new kernel
35 o paraslash works on Mac OS X (thanks to Gerd Becker)
37 o para_play renamed to para_write
39 o modular output plugin design (writers) for para_write
41 o new file_writer output plugin for para_write
43 o compress filter speed improvements
45 o update to libortp-0.9.1
47 o update to gengetopt-2.17rc
49 o para_client no longer depends on libreadline (as the
50 code for the interactive mode was removed).
52 o gcc-2-95 is no longer a supported compiler. It may still
53 work, but it gets no more testing.
55 o the tarball no longer contains the screenshot images which
56 reduces its size quite a bit.
58 o configure: new command line options: --enable-mysql-headers
59 and --enable-mysql-libs
61 0.2.11 (2006-03-11) "atomic duality"
62 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
64 Here it is, the first paraslash release developed with git. There
65 are fairly many user-visible changes in this release. As two out of
66 the three "database tools" of paraslash don't use a database at all,
67 they are now called "audio file selectors" instead.
70 o the cdt command (change database tool) becomes chs (change
73 o no more colon separators: The syntax of some options of
74 para_audiod and para_filter have changed. Use --help for
75 more info (and some examples).
77 o update to gengetopt-2.16 (thanks to Lorenzo Bettini)
79 o switch from cvs to git (should've done that earlier)
81 o the new ipc subsystem
83 o new audio file selector: playlist
85 o para_server: the dopey selector is now called "random",
86 and is the default selector. Use the --selector option to
87 choose another selector at startup, or the chs command to
88 change the selector at runtime.
90 o X86_64 fixes (thanks to Steffen Klassert)
95 0.2.10 (2006-02-17) "cyclic attractor"
96 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
98 Huge documentation update, a scrollable window for para_gui, ortp
99 improvements, and of course many small fixes not mentioned here.
100 The diffstat below is rather misleading as most insertions are due
101 to the new source documentation.
105 o para_server also uses the new error subsystem
107 o lots of new documentation (UTSL)
110 - keysyms for cursor keys and for next/previous page keys
111 - scrollable output window
112 - new internal commands: scroll up/down, page up/down
113 - fix color of command output.
115 o ortp: the --chunk_time and --header flags are no longer needed
116 for para_recv/para_audiod as this information is now encoded in
117 each rtp packet sent by para_server.

190 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
192 Internal audiod receivers/filters, the new error subsystem and
193 a lot of small improvements.
195 o para_recv and para_filter are integrated into the para_audiod
196 binary, i.e. audiod no longer spawns a new process for
197 each receiver/filter. As para_recv and para_filter might be
198 useful as standalone programs, they still get built (linked
199 against the same object files that are also used for audiod).
201 o further ortp timing improvements should reduce the CPU usage
202 of the ortp receiver.
204 o improved audio grabbing. The 'grab' command of para_audiod
205 has its own set of command line options. Read the output of
206 "para_audioc help grab" for more info.
208 o oggdec: configurable input prebuffer size.
210 o the new error subsystem gives better error diagnostics
211 and reduces code size.

264 0.2.8 (2006-01-02) "dynamic accumulation"
265 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
267 The new modular filter design and the para_play-hangs bugfix.
269 o new executable: para_filter. It combines para_mp3dec,
270 para_oggdec and para_compress. It also adds a further filter
271 type, wav, that just inserts a wave header at the desired point
272 of the filter chain. All 'piping' is done in-memory (i.e. no
273 read/write operations are used).
275 o para_play: fix a stupid bug that caused it to hang under
276 certain circumstances.

301 0.2.7 (2006-12-27) "transparent invariance"
302 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
303 Not many user-visible changes but a fair amount of internal improvements.
306 o The http sender buffers data if it can not be sent
307 out immediately (because the socket is not writable). This
308 should prevent para_server from shutting down the connection
309 too early on a loaded network.
311 o para_play also prebuffers data if it is told to start at a
312 future time by the --start_time option.
314 o The return of para_recv: It combines para_ortp_recv and
315 para_http_recv. Use the --receiver option to switch between
316 the two. para_recv builds without libortp, but contains
317 only the http receiver in this case.
319 o update to ortp 0.8.1. As this ortp release contains incompatible
320 changes, para_recv-0.2.7 won't link against older ortp libs.
322 o improved ortp timings.
324 o use of gcc-extensions that #define away for non-gcc and
327 New files: gcc-compat.h

377 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
378 Transparent session encryption (uses openssl's Alleged RC4 cipher),
379 the internal find command and several other improvements and cleanups.
381 o Encrypt the session if encryption is requested by the client
382 (default for para_client 0.2.6). This is backwards
383 compatible, so older clients can still connect to para_server
384 0.2.6. Use the new client option --plain to request an
385 uncrypted session (off by default, must be set to on in
386 order to connect to para_server 0.2.x with 0 <= x <= 5).
388 o para_server uses an internal function to locate audio files
389 rather than calling find(1). The server option
390 --mysql_audio_file_dir replaces --mysql_find_cmd.
392 o documentation update
396 o header file cleanup
398 o para_client code cleanup
400 o para_gui: faster display of output of display commands

445 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
446 This release adds internal senders, i.e. no more external programs are
447 spawned for sending out the audio data. There are two different senders
448 available: The http sender and the ortp sender (former para_send which
449 is no longer needed).
451 The new sender code has a plugin-like design so it can be easily
452 extended should there be be any future need for supporting another
453 network streaming protocol. All senders are completely independent of
454 each other. In particular, the http and the ortp sender can operate
457 o new server command: sender to control senders at runtime.
458 Read the output of "para_server -h" and "para_client help
459 sender" for more information.
461 o para_recv renamed to para_ortp_recv
463 o new executable: para_http_recv, a simple command line
466 o major afs/mp3/ogg code simplifications due to internal
469 o ogg timing improvements
471 o fix several minor memory leaks (found by valgrind)
473 o empty stream definitions work again
475 o com_ne(): ignore errors on remove
477 o audiod: fix segfault on server restart

513 Several small improvements, fixes and the new grab command.
516 - new command: "grab" to grab the output of the stream reader
517 or any filters. Read the output of "para_audioc help grab"
518 for more information.
522 o audioc: new command line option: --bufsize to specify a
523 buffer size different from the default size 8192.
525 o improved error diagnostics for para_play.
527 o new configure option: --enable-ssldir so search for openssl in
530 o sdl_gui: Make it look nice again for 1024x768
532 o server: report total size of memory allocated with sbrk by malloc,
533 new command line option: --announce_time

568 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
569 Two new executables and major feature enhancements.
571 o audiod filters: It is now possible to specify arbitrary many
572 (including none) filters for each supported audio
573 format. This can be used e.g. for normalizing volume,
574 transforming or grabbing the audio stream, or for using
575 visualizers. Read the output of "para_audiod -h" for the
576 syntax of the new --filter_cmd option.
578 o new executable: para_play, a tiny alsa player. It
579 can play wave files or raw pcm (16 bit little endian)
582 o new executable: para_compress, a dynamic range compressor
583 intended to keep audio output at a consistent volume. Derived
584 from AudioCompress, http://trikuare.cx/code/AudioCompress.html.
586 o audiod: New option: --stream_delay. This can be used in
587 a local network to syncronize the audio output of all
588 clients that play the same stream.

612 Mostly internal changes in this release, but also some new commands
613 for the mysql database tool.
615 o cleanup exec.c, fix para_exec bug
616 o compile time loglevel (log messages below the given level
617 won't be compiled in, which reduces the size of the
619 o new log macros that shorten the size of the source code.
620 o workaround a gcc-4.1 bug (?) that caused send_cred_buffer()
621 to send only zeros. With this workaround, para_audioc works
623 o avoid gcc-4 warning: conflicting types for built-in function 'clog'
624 o new mysql commands: "rm" (remove entry), "mv" (rename entry) "ne"
625 (new entry), "snp" (set numplayed). Read the manual for more

667 surprise, only minor bug fixes.
669 o kill noisy mp3 debug message
670 o cleanup of the build system
671 o para_server and para_client directly use the crypto routines
672 of the openssl library rather than invoking the openssl command
674 o server/audiod: new option --user to switch to the given user
675 when invoked as root. Read the output of "para_server -h" for
677 o gui/sdl_gui: new option --stat_cmd to be used to retrieve the
678 status. Default: "para_audioc stat"
679 o sdl_gui: new option --pic_cmd to be used to download the picture.
680 Default: "para_client pic"
681 o audiod: 5 slots ought to be enough for everybody
682 o audiod: new status item: Uptime, kill hup command
685 New files: crypt.c crypt.h

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

795 0.1.7 (2005-04-18) "melting penetration"
796 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
797 The main change in this release is clearly the oggvorbis rewrite,
798 but there are also lots of smaller changes. If you intend to use both
799 the mp3 and the ogg plugin, it is recommended to use software mixing,
800 e.g. the dmix plugin which is provided by ALSA.
802 o new executables: para_ovsend and para_ovrecv for sending/receiving
803 oggvorbis files via rtp. Requires the open rtp library. Get it at
804 http://www.linphone.org/ortp/
805 o rewrite of the ogg_vorbis core code
806 o configure detects libzmw and, if detected, includes
807 para_slider to the list of binaries to be built by make
808 o server stream writers read from their associated fifo rather
810 o slider: two new sliders, lastplayed and numplayed
811 o fix nasty double free bug which caused random segfaults in case of
812 mp3 files with invalid header information
813 o gui: new command line option: --stream_timeout=seconds to
814 deactivate a slot if it is idle for that many seconds (default=`5')

845 0.1.6 (2005-03-05) "asymptotic balance"
846 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
847 Only little user-visible changes in this release. Mainly bugfixes and
848 core code cleanup. This is probably the most stable version ever if you
851 o fix several memory leaks
852 o rename default name of mysql database from "music" to "paraslash".
853 Use para_server's --mysql_database option if you do not want to
854 rename your old database.
855 o rework ogg vorbis code
856 o make update command work on mysql servers with LOCAL_INFILE
858 o gui: improved stream I/O (slots)
859 o simplified audio format API
860 o para_pob_ogg is gone
862 0.1.5 (2004-12-31) "opaque eternity"
863 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
864 Let's slide gently into the new year.
866 o new: para_slider (not built automatically, type "make
867 para_slider" to build). A toy for those who always felt that
868 creating stream definitions is difficult. See screenshots,
869 README and FEATURES for more info.
870 o improved signal handling. Fixes server segfault on SIGHUP
871 for linux kernels newer than Aug 24 2004 and makes para_gui
873 o reload database tool on SIGHUP
874 o improved help message for sl
875 o do not log "broken pipe" messages as errors. They are
877 o fix wrong error message on permission errors
879 0.1.4 (2004-12-19) "tunneling transition"
880 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
881 Bugfix release. As expected, 0.1.3 introduced a bunch of new bugs.
882 Hopefully, most of them got wiped out with this release. Some
883 enhancements went also in.
885 o improved error diagnostics for all commands
886 o stradd/picadd: overwrite previous contents if entry already
887 exists, rather than returning errors
888 o stradd: use current stream if invoked without args
889 o faster (and hopefully more stable) ogg-vorbis handling
890 o para_krell: reap children to avoid zombie-flooding in case
892 o si: report also server pid
893 o server: don't busy-loop if dbtool reports only invalid files.
894 o gui: CTRL+C works again, fix stream_read command line option
896 o fix mysql dbtool startup in case no database exists
897 o many small fixes and cleanups
899 0.1.3: (2004-12-10) "vanishing inertia"
900 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
901 Starting from this release, the database tools are integrated in the
902 server binary. This decreases server startup time, reduces code size
903 and speeds up database commands. However, the layout of the underlying
904 mysql database changed only slightly and 0.1.3 should be backwards
905 compatible in that respect.
909 o If mysql is not detected at compile time, or fails to init
910 at runtime, fall back to the dopey database tool which should
912 o para_dbtool and dbtool.conf are gone. All mysql specific
913 options are read from server.conf and are prefixed by 'mysql_'.
914 o new command: cdt (change database tool)
915 o new command line option: dbtool (choose startup database tool)
916 o The name of current stream is now stored in the database,
917 so paraslash remembers its current stream when restarted.
918 o new command: csp (change stream and play)
919 o para_gui also reports current database tool and server uptime
922 0.1.2: (2004-11-28) "spherical fluctuation"
923 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
924 Point release before the big dbtool changes go in.
926 o dbtool: rename ca to cam (copy all meta data). It now also
927 copies numplayed and lastplayed time as well as the picture
929 o fix endless-loop-bug caused by mp3 files with invalid header
931 0.1.1: (2004-11-05) "floating atmosphere"
932 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
934 o new dbtool command: mbox. Browse your sound-file collection
935 with your favorite mail reader.
936 o several small fixes
938 0.1.0: (2204-10-22) "rotating cortex"
939 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
940 o fix logging bug for loglevel > VERBOSE
942 o correct timings for vbr mp3s
943 o modular audio format support
944 o ogg-vorbis support (experimental)
945 o new server option: autoplay
947 0.0.99: (2004-07-25) "harmonic deviation"
948 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
949 o rename projectname from icc to paraslash (play, archive, rate
950 and stream large audio sets happily)
951 o paraslash is no longer restricted to one particular audio
953 o new dbtool commands (stradd, strq, strdel) for easy stream
954 managment w/o configuration file. That obsoletes stream_defs
955 file/config option for dbtool.
956 o picadd accepts jpeg data from stdin
957 o new server commands: ps (select previous stream), sc (song change)
958 o new default pictures for sdl_gui
959 o gui: new key_map option for binding commands and internal
960 functions to arbitrary keys, nice help screen, rip out
961 soundcard/linux specific stuff, avoid noise artefacts while jumping,
962 show silly logo on startup
963 o new executables: para_fade for fading volume, para_dbadm for
964 manipulating attributes
965 o cdb adds _all_ tables to mysql database
966 o revised and beautified documentation
967 o sample dbtool rewritten in C
970 0.0.98: (2003-12-26) "incremental smoothness"
971 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
972 o kick icecast in favour of poc. That removes some races and reduces
973 core code considerably.
974 o cbr/vbr is displayed by stat and gui/sdl_gui. New status flags
975 give finer info on afs' status.
976 o gui can start decoder (see config options). Further new gui
977 commands: refresh (^L), jmp (F1-F10)
978 o gui rereads conf on SIGUSR1 instead of SIGHUP. SIGHUP
979 terminates gui. This fixes dead instances consuming memory

982 o fix pid_list races (by removing pid_list)
987 o installation prefix now defaults to /usr/local
