4 0.2.11 (2006-03-11) "atomic duality"
5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7 Here it is, the first paraslash release developed with git. There
8 are fairly many user-visible changes in this release. As two out of
9 the three "database tools" of paraslash don't use a database at all,
10 they are now called "audio file selectors" instead.
13 o the cdt command (change database tool) becomes chs (change
16 o no more colon separators: The syntax of some options of
17 para_audiod and para_filter have changed. Use --help for
18 more info (and some examples).
20 o update to gengetopt-2.16 (thanks to Lorenzo Bettini)
22 o switch from cvs to git (should've done that earlier)
24 o the new ipc subsystem
26 o new audio file selector: playlist
28 o para_server: the dopey selector is now called "random",
29 and is the default selector. Use the --selector option to
30 choose another selector at startup, or the chs command to
31 change the selector at runtime.
33 o X86_64 fixes (thanks to Steffen Klassert)
38 0.2.10 (2006-02-17) "cyclic attractor"
39 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
41 Huge documentation update, a scrollable window for para_gui, ortp
42 improvements, and of course many small fixes not mentioned here.
43 The diffstat below is rather misleading as most insertions are due
44 to the new source documentation.
48 o para_server also uses the new error subsystem
50 o lots of new documentation (UTSL)
53 - keysyms for cursor keys and for next/previous page keys
54 - scrollable output window
55 - new internal commands: scroll up/down, page up/down
56 - fix color of command output.
58 o ortp: the --chunk_time and --header flags are no longer needed
59 for para_recv/para_audiod as this information is now encoded in
60 each rtp packet sent by para_server.

132 0.2.9 (2006-01-24) "progressive turbulence"
133 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
135 Internal audiod receivers/filters, the new error subsystem and
136 a lot of small improvements.
138 o para_recv and para_filter are integrated into the para_audiod
139 binary, i.e. audiod no longer spawns a new process for
140 each receiver/filter. As para_recv and para_filter might be
141 useful as standalone programs, they still get built (linked
142 against the same object files that are also used for audiod).
144 o further ortp timing improvements should reduce the CPU usage
145 of the ortp receiver.
147 o improved audio grabbing. The 'grab' command of para_audiod
148 has its own set of command line options. Read the output of
149 "para_audioc help grab" for more info.
151 o oggdec: configurable input prebuffer size.
153 o the new error subsystem gives better error diagnostics
154 and reduces code size.

207 0.2.8 (2006-01-02) "dynamic accumulation"
208 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
210 The new modular filter design and the para_play-hangs bugfix.
212 o new executable: para_filter. It combines para_mp3dec,
213 para_oggdec and para_compress. It also adds a further filter
214 type, wav, that just inserts a wave header at the desired point
215 of the filter chain. All 'piping' is done in-memory (i.e. no
216 read/write operations are used).
218 o para_play: fix a stupid bug that caused it to hang under
219 certain circumstances.

244 0.2.7 (2006-12-27) "transparent invariance"
245 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
246 Not many user-visible changes but a fair amount of internal improvements.
249 o The http sender buffers data if it can not be sent
250 out immediately (because the socket is not writable). This
251 should prevent para_server from shutting down the connection
252 too early on a loaded network.
254 o para_play also prebuffers data if it is told to start at a
255 future time by the --start_time option.
257 o The return of para_recv: It combines para_ortp_recv and
258 para_http_recv. Use the --receiver option to switch between
259 the two. para_recv builds without libortp, but contains
260 only the http receiver in this case.
262 o update to ortp 0.8.1. As this ortp release contains incompatible
263 changes, para_recv-0.2.7 won't link against older ortp libs.
265 o improved ortp timings.
267 o use of gcc-extensions that #define away for non-gcc and
270 New files: gcc-compat.h

319 0.2.6 (2005-10-29) "recursive compensation"
320 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
321 Transparent session encryption (uses openssl's Alleged RC4 cipher),
322 the internal find command and several other improvements and cleanups.
324 o Encrypt the session if encryption is requested by the client
325 (default for para_client 0.2.6). This is backwards
326 compatible, so older clients can still connect to para_server
327 0.2.6. Use the new client option --plain to request an
328 uncrypted session (off by default, must be set to on in
329 order to connect to para_server 0.2.x with 0 <= x <= 5).
331 o para_server uses an internal function to locate audio files
332 rather than calling find(1). The server option
333 --mysql_audio_file_dir replaces --mysql_find_cmd.
335 o documentation update
339 o header file cleanup
341 o para_client code cleanup
343 o para_gui: faster display of output of display commands

387 0.2.5 (2005-10-13) "aggressive_resolution"
388 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
389 This release adds internal senders, i.e. no more external programs are
390 spawned for sending out the audio data. There are two different senders
391 available: The http sender and the ortp sender (former para_send which
392 is no longer needed).
394 The new sender code has a plugin-like design so it can be easily
395 extended should there be be any future need for supporting another
396 network streaming protocol. All senders are completely independent of
397 each other. In particular, the http and the ortp sender can operate
400 o new server command: sender to control senders at runtime.
401 Read the output of "para_server -h" and "para_client help
402 sender" for more information.
404 o para_recv renamed to para_ortp_recv
406 o new executable: para_http_recv, a simple command line
409 o major afs/mp3/ogg code simplifications due to internal
412 o ogg timing improvements
414 o fix several minor memory leaks (found by valgrind)
416 o empty stream definitions work again
418 o com_ne(): ignore errors on remove
420 o audiod: fix segfault on server restart

455 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
456 Several small improvements, fixes and the new grab command.
459 - new command: "grab" to grab the output of the stream reader
460 or any filters. Read the output of "para_audioc help grab"
461 for more information.
465 o audioc: new command line option: --bufsize to specify a
466 buffer size different from the default size 8192.
468 o improved error diagnostics for para_play.
470 o new configure option: --enable-ssldir so search for openssl in
473 o sdl_gui: Make it look nice again for 1024x768
475 o server: report total size of memory allocated with sbrk by malloc,
476 new command line option: --announce_time

510 0.2.3 (2005-09-01) "hydrophilic movement"
511 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
512 Two new executables and major feature enhancements.
514 o audiod filters: It is now possible to specify arbitrary many
515 (including none) filters for each supported audio
516 format. This can be used e.g. for normalizing volume,
517 transforming or grabbing the audio stream, or for using
518 visualizers. Read the output of "para_audiod -h" for the
519 syntax of the new --filter_cmd option.
521 o new executable: para_play, a tiny alsa player. It
522 can play wave files or raw pcm (16 bit little endian)
525 o new executable: para_compress, a dynamic range compressor
526 intended to keep audio output at a consistent volume. Derived
527 from AudioCompress, http://trikuare.cx/code/AudioCompress.html.
529 o audiod: New option: --stream_delay. This can be used in
530 a local network to syncronize the audio output of all
531 clients that play the same stream.

554 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
555 Mostly internal changes in this release, but also some new commands
556 for the mysql database tool.
558 o cleanup exec.c, fix para_exec bug
559 o compile time loglevel (log messages below the given level
560 won't be compiled in, which reduces the size of the
562 o new log macros that shorten the size of the source code.
563 o workaround a gcc-4.1 bug (?) that caused send_cred_buffer()
564 to send only zeros. With this workaround, para_audioc works
566 o avoid gcc-4 warning: conflicting types for built-in function 'clog'
567 o new mysql commands: "rm" (remove entry), "mv" (rename entry) "ne"
568 (new entry), "snp" (set numplayed). Read the manual for more

608 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
609 Here comes paraslash-0.2.1. It contains a couple of new features and,
610 surprise, only minor bug fixes.
612 o kill noisy mp3 debug message
613 o cleanup of the build system
614 o para_server and para_client directly use the crypto routines
615 of the openssl library rather than invoking the openssl command
617 o server/audiod: new option --user to switch to the given user
618 when invoked as root. Read the output of "para_server -h" for
620 o gui/sdl_gui: new option --stat_cmd to be used to retrieve the
621 status. Default: "para_audioc stat"
622 o sdl_gui: new option --pic_cmd to be used to download the picture.
623 Default: "para_client pic"
624 o audiod: 5 slots ought to be enough for everybody
625 o audiod: new status item: Uptime, kill hup command
628 New files: crypt.c crypt.h

668 0.2.0 (2005-08-06) "distributed diffusion"
669 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
670 After several month of increased development activity, paraslash-0.2.0
671 has arrived. It contains many new features and is much more
672 self-contained than the old 0.1.x series. Enjoy!
675 o para_server: fix hang on song change and crash on sighup.
676 Speed up mysql queries. The DIR_LIKE macro is gone.
677 o new executables: para_audiod, the local audio daemon that
678 starts playback (uses SCM_CREDENTIALS socket magic) and
679 para_audioc, the corresponding client.
680 o new executables: para_mp3dec/para_oggdec, two really teensy
681 decoders. para_mp3dec is based on libmad, para_oggdec requires
683 o ovsend/ovrecv are capable of streaming ogg as well as mp3, so
684 they are now called para_send and para_recv respectively.
685 o documentation updates
686 o para_gui is themable. For now there is the default theme that
687 looks as before and the simple theme: blue and easy.
688 o gui: audio streaming is now handled by audiod. Time display shows
689 playback time rather than streaming time
690 o slider: update to libzmw-0.2.0
691 o para_krell: fix crash on server shutdown
692 o switch from gzip to bzip2

738 0.1.7 (2005-04-18) "melting penetration"
739 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
740 The main change in this release is clearly the oggvorbis rewrite,
741 but there are also lots of smaller changes. If you intend to use both
742 the mp3 and the ogg plugin, it is recommended to use software mixing,
743 e.g. the dmix plugin which is provided by ALSA.
745 o new executables: para_ovsend and para_ovrecv for sending/receiving
746 oggvorbis files via rtp. Requires the open rtp library. Get it at
747 http://www.linphone.org/ortp/
748 o rewrite of the ogg_vorbis core code
749 o configure detects libzmw and, if detected, includes
750 para_slider to the list of binaries to be built by make
751 o server stream writers read from their associated fifo rather
753 o slider: two new sliders, lastplayed and numplayed
754 o fix nasty double free bug which caused random segfaults in case of
755 mp3 files with invalid header information
756 o gui: new command line option: --stream_timeout=seconds to
757 deactivate a slot if it is idle for that many seconds (default=`5')

788 0.1.6 (2005-03-05) "asymptotic balance"
789 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
790 Only little user-visible changes in this release. Mainly bugfixes and
791 core code cleanup. This is probably the most stable version ever if you
794 o fix several memory leaks
795 o rename default name of mysql database from "music" to "paraslash".
796 Use para_server's --mysql_database option if you do not want to
797 rename your old database.
798 o rework ogg vorbis code
799 o make update command work on mysql servers with LOCAL_INFILE
801 o gui: improved stream I/O (slots)
802 o simplified audio format API
803 o para_pob_ogg is gone
805 0.1.5 (2004-12-31) "opaque eternity"
806 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
807 Let's slide gently into the new year.
809 o new: para_slider (not built automatically, type "make
810 para_slider" to build). A toy for those who always felt that
811 creating stream definitions is difficult. See screenshots,
812 README and FEATURES for more info.
813 o improved signal handling. Fixes server segfault on SIGHUP
814 for linux kernels newer than Aug 24 2004 and makes para_gui
816 o reload database tool on SIGHUP
817 o improved help message for sl
818 o do not log "broken pipe" messages as errors. They are
820 o fix wrong error message on permission errors
822 0.1.4 (2004-12-19) "tunneling transition"
823 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
824 Bugfix release. As expected, 0.1.3 introduced a bunch of new bugs.
825 Hopefully, most of them got wiped out with this release. Some
826 enhancements went also in.
828 o improved error diagnostics for all commands
829 o stradd/picadd: overwrite previous contents if entry already
830 exists, rather than returning errors
831 o stradd: use current stream if invoked without args
832 o faster (and hopefully more stable) ogg-vorbis handling
833 o para_krell: reap children to avoid zombie-flooding in case
835 o si: report also server pid
836 o server: don't busy-loop if dbtool reports only invalid files.
837 o gui: CTRL+C works again, fix stream_read command line option
839 o fix mysql dbtool startup in case no database exists
840 o many small fixes and cleanups
842 0.1.3: (2004-12-10) "vanishing inertia"
843 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
844 Starting from this release, the database tools are integrated in the
845 server binary. This decreases server startup time, reduces code size
846 and speeds up database commands. However, the layout of the underlying
847 mysql database changed only slightly and 0.1.3 should be backwards
848 compatible in that respect.
852 o If mysql is not detected at compile time, or fails to init
853 at runtime, fall back to the dopey database tool which should
855 o para_dbtool and dbtool.conf are gone. All mysql specific
856 options are read from server.conf and are prefixed by 'mysql_'.
857 o new command: cdt (change database tool)
858 o new command line option: dbtool (choose startup database tool)
859 o The name of current stream is now stored in the database,
860 so paraslash remembers its current stream when restarted.
861 o new command: csp (change stream and play)
862 o para_gui also reports current database tool and server uptime
