4 ---------------------------------------------------
5 0.4.0 (to be announced) "simultaneous independence"
6 ---------------------------------------------------
8 Two significant changes which require the new version number: The
9 improved authentication dialog and the fact that the database code
10 has been moved to a library, libosl. To use the new version, you have
11 to generate new RSA keys, see INSTALL for details. A shell script is
12 provided for conversion of the 0.3 database to the new 0.4 format.
14 - stronger crypto for client authentication
15 - the database code has been moved to a library
16 - improved status item handling
17 - the new parser-friendly listing mode for the ls and stat commands
18 - mandatory rc4 encryption
19 - major audio format handler cleanups
20 - improved tag handling
21 - lots of new mood methods
23 -------------------------------------------------
24 0.3.5 (to be announced) "symplectic separability"
25 -------------------------------------------------
27 - the new oss writer (supported on *BSD and Linux)
28 - support for netmask subsets (Gerrit Renker)
29 - the new prebuffer filter
30 - improved signal handling
31 - variable fec output buffer size
32 - --log_color actually works
33 - new ls option: -d (print dates as seconds after the epoch)
34 - update to gengetopt 2.22.2
36 -----------------------------------------
37 0.3.4 (2009-05-07) "elliptic inheritance"
38 -----------------------------------------
40 The new udp sender, forward error correction, colored logs and various
41 other improvements. As the udp sender does not depend on any special
42 libraries, it is built unconditionally.
44 - The udp sender replaces the ortp sender. The new code uses forward
45 error correction to protect against packet losses. Many thanks to
46 Gerrit Renker for providing ipv6 support.
47 - The default port for udp streaming now defaults to 8000, like
48 for the http and the dccp senders/receivers.
49 - Loglevels are now specified as symbolic names, e.g.
51 - improved ipv4 and ipv6 URI parser (Gerrit Renker).
52 - para_server/para_audiod: Color support for log messages.
53 - new options for mp3dec: --ignore-crc, --bufsize
54 - new audiod option: --config-file.
56 - Improved help/man pages: The documentation of para_audiod,
57 para_recv, para_filter and para_write now also contains
58 all options of the available receivers/filters/writers. The
59 man page of para_fade contains a description of the different
61 - More source code documentation.
64 --------------------------------------------
65 0.3.3 (2008-12-01) "axiomatic perspectivity"
66 --------------------------------------------
68 Internal code cleanups, bug fixes, improved tag handling and the new
71 - para_server uses the generic scheduling code.
72 - overhaul of the virtual streaming system.
73 - mp3: id3 version 2 support via libid3tag (optional)
74 - ogg: vorbis comment support.
75 - aac meta info support.
76 - mp3 audio format handler cleanups.
77 - new filter: "amp" to amplify the amplitude of the audio stream
78 - new status item/database entry: amplification. It is
79 used by the amp filter to pre-amplify the audio stream.
80 - fix a close-without-open bug in para_write.
81 - fix a bug in com_init() which was introduced in 0.3.2.
82 - better error diagnostics for para_client.
84 -----------------------------------------
85 0.3.2 (2008-04-11) "probabilistic parity"
86 -----------------------------------------
88 The new para_afh executable, scheduling and documentation improvements.
90 - new ls option: -lc (list chunk table)
91 - new executable: para_afh, the stand-alone audio file handler tool
92 - afs commands can send output more than SHMMAX (32MB on Linux). This
93 also reduces the memory usage of commands that produce large amounts
95 - major scheduler and audiod cleanups.
96 - more detailed and much nicer man pages.
98 ---------------------------------------
99 0.3.1 (2008-02-23) "liquid interaction"
100 ---------------------------------------
102 A mix of cleanups, bug fixes, improvements, and some new features. No
103 significant changes to the new database (osl) code, which is generally
106 - Share some similar/duplicate code between the http and the
108 - Generic access control lists for paraslash senders.
109 - dccp sender: Access control lists, connection limiting and support
110 for the allow,deny,on,off,help sender commands.
111 - The default dccp port changed from 5001 to 8000 (suggested by
113 - para_server starts even if not all public keys could be loaded.
114 - Audiod performance improvements.
115 - fix a bug in the "off" command of the http sender.
116 - fix some fd and memory leaks.
117 - Update to gengetopt-2.22.
119 -------------------------------------
120 0.3.0 (2008-01-12) "solar saturation"
121 -------------------------------------
123 paraslash.0.3.0 -- 'WWDBND --what would databases never do?'.
126 Usually one might expect lots of new features AND a big increase in size
127 for a major release like this.
129 However, paraslash-0.3.0.tar.bz2 is the smallest paraslash tarball
130 ever. The decrease in size is mostly due to the removal of some
131 graphical tools (which were only quick hacks anyway). But also the
132 fact that the mysql code is gone cuts down the size a bit.
134 Being independent of mysql comes at a cost: The fact that paraslash
135 now contains its own database (the object storage layer, osl) increases
136 the (stripped) binary size of para_server by ~50K on i386.
138 - no more restrictions on unique basenames.
139 - independent of mysql: The new self-contained object
140 storage layer (osl) replaces the mysql database.
141 - New executable para_fsck: Check integrity of osl tables.
143 - Reliable audio file move/rename detection.
144 - More portable than ever: Tested on Linux (x86_32, x86_64, sparc64),
145 MacOS (ppc32, x86_32), FreeBSD (x86_32), NetBSD (x86_32) and
147 - the new osl-based audio file selector (afs) replaces the random,
148 the playlist and the mysql selector of paraslash-0.2.x.
149 - IPv6 support (thanks to Gerrit Renker).
150 - paraslash-0.2.x streams are now called "moods". Writing
151 0.3.x-mood definitions should be both easier and more
152 powerful than writing 0.2.x-stream definitions.
153 - para_krell, para_slider, para_para_sdl_gui, para_dbadm have
154 been removed. The world is a better place without them. However,
155 para_gui is still there.
156 - afs tracks audio file selection also in playlist mode.
157 - few easy-to-use afs commands replace the many not-so-easy-to-use
158 mysql commands (and are available also in playlist mode).
159 - Improved error subsystem.
160 - The earth-shaking new logo.
162 -----------------------------------------
163 0.2.17 (2007-11-20) "isotropic threshold"
164 -----------------------------------------
166 Mainly bugfixes and cleanups in this version which marks the end of
167 the 0.2.x series if no serious bugs show up after the release.
169 - mysql_selector: fix a locking bug.
170 - universal chunk queueing.
171 - dccp sender uses chunk queueing if write() returns EAGAIN (thanks
173 - be more carful wrt. signed vs. unsigned argument passing.
174 - cleanup error.h and fix some references to invalid error
176 - update to gengetopt-2.21.
177 - update to ortp-0.13.1.
178 - autoconf: extend checks for headers, library functions and
179 compiler characteristics.
180 - Fix streaming of large mp3 files.
181 - Fix an off-by-one bug in playlist handling.
183 --------------------------------------
184 0.2.16 (2007-04-05) "neural discharge"
185 --------------------------------------
187 The main change in this release is the major audio format handler
188 cleanup which removes some similar/duplicate code and makes it easier
189 to implement plugins for other audio formats. Of course, the usual mix
190 of other improvements/changes/bugfixes also made it into the release.
192 - simplified audio format handlers (most of the handling functions
193 were moved one layer up to the virtual streaming system).
194 - para_server uses mmap to read audio files
195 - repositioning of mp3 streams is much faster, in particular for
196 jumping near the end of large mp3 files.
197 - permission flags DB_READ,DB_WRITE have been renamed to AFS_READ
199 - fix a bug in para_filter that caused decoding of aac files
200 to start only after a few seconds.
201 - fix osx_writer hangs
202 - simplified dccp code (thanks to Gerrit Renker)
203 - the compress filter works also on big endian systems (ppc)
205 -----------------------------------------
206 0.2.15 (2007-02-16) "inductive resonance"
207 -----------------------------------------
209 Minor improvements, more documentation and a bunch of bug fixes.
211 - para_server: The server.users file is only read once on server
212 startup rather than for each connection
213 - mp3dec: Fix decoding of corrupt mp3 files
214 - afs (audio file sender) is now called vss (virtual streaming
215 system). Consequently, the permission flags specified in
216 ~/.paraslash/server.users have also changed: AFS_READ and AFS_WRITE
217 become VSS_READ and VSS_WRITE respectively.
218 - para_audiod/para_filter: Fix a bug that caused the last chunk
219 of audio data not being written under certain circumstances
220 - audiod: compute the difference of server time and local time
222 - para_server/para_audiod: Fix some memory leaks
223 - documentation improvements
224 - configure.ac: fix checks for para_krell
227 -------------------------------------------
228 0.2.14 (2006-10-15) "transient singularity"
229 -------------------------------------------
231 The only major enhancement of this version is the osx writer which completes
232 the Mac OS Port and was originally planned already for 0.2.13 but had to wait
233 until now for reasons beyond the scope of this changelog entry.
235 - new output plugin for Mac Os: the osx writer
236 - rename configure command line options from --enable-xxx-headers to
237 --with-xxx-headers and --enable-xxx-libs to --with-xxx-libs
238 - configure: new command line options: --with-mad-headers,
239 --with-mad-libs, --with-oggvorbis-headers, and --with-oggvorbis-libs
240 - some robustness fixes
241 - dymamic audio format recognition for audiod
242 - para_server: new command line option: --autoplay_delay
243 - para_audiod: new command line option: --clock_diff_count
245 ---------------------------------------
246 0.2.13 (2006-07-14) "sonic convolution"
247 ---------------------------------------
249 A bunch of new features and core changes.
251 - the new paraslash scheduler, short and sweet.
252 - Support for m4a/mp4 files via the new aac audio format
253 handler/filter (requires libfaad).
254 - each writer has its own command line parser, just like
255 para_recv and para_filter.
256 - para_client and para_audioc use the error subsystem
257 - writers are integrated in para_audiod (currently linux-only)
258 - para_client is integrated in para_audiod
259 - random/playlist selector: improved info strings
260 - new audiod commands: tasks, kill
261 - update to libortp-0.10.1
262 - para_fade: wake time defaults to 8 hours from now
263 - update to autoconf-2.60
266 ------------------------------------------
267 0.2.12 (2006-05-12) "oriented abstraction"
268 ------------------------------------------
270 Many user-visible changes in this release and lots of new
274 - the new optional dccp sender/receiver. It uses the datagram
275 congestion control protocol. You'll need a fairly new kernel
277 - paraslash works on Mac OS X (thanks to Gerd Becker)
278 - para_play renamed to para_write
279 - modular output plugin design (writers) for para_write
280 - new file_writer output plugin for para_write
281 - compress filter speed improvements
282 - update to libortp-0.9.1
283 - update to gengetopt-2.17rc
284 - para_client no longer depends on libreadline (as the
285 code for the interactive mode was removed).
286 - gcc-2-95 is no longer a supported compiler. It may still
287 work, but it gets no more testing.
288 - the tarball no longer contains the screenshot images which
289 reduces its size quite a bit.
290 - configure: new command line options: --enable-mysql-headers
291 and --enable-mysql-libs
293 ------------------------------------
294 0.2.11 (2006-03-11) "atomic duality"
295 ------------------------------------
297 Here it is, the first paraslash release developed with git. There
298 are fairly many user-visible changes in this release. As two out of
299 the three "database tools" of paraslash don't use a database at all,
300 they are now called "audio file selectors" instead.
303 - the cdt command (change database tool) becomes chs (change
305 - no more colon separators: The syntax of some options of
306 para_audiod and para_filter have changed. Use --help for
307 more info (and some examples).
308 - update to gengetopt-2.16 (thanks to Lorenzo Bettini)
309 - switch from cvs to git (should've done that earlier)
310 - the new ipc subsystem
311 - new audio file selector: playlist
312 - para_server: the dopey selector is now called "random",
313 and is the default selector. Use the --selector option to
314 choose another selector at startup, or the chs command to
315 change the selector at runtime.
316 - X86_64 fixes (thanks to Steffen Klassert)
320 --------------------------------------
321 0.2.10 (2006-02-17) "cyclic attractor"
322 --------------------------------------
324 Huge documentation update, a scrollable window for para_gui, ortp
325 improvements, and of course many small fixes not mentioned here.
326 The diffstat below is rather misleading as most insertions are due
327 to the new source documentation.
330 - para_server also uses the new error subsystem
331 - lots of new documentation (UTSL)
333 - keysyms for cursor keys and for next/previous page keys
334 - scrollable output window
335 - new internal commands: scroll up/down, page up/down
336 - fix color of command output.
337 - ortp: the --chunk_time and --header flags are no longer needed
338 for para_recv/para_audiod as this information is now encoded in
339 each rtp packet sent by para_server.
342 -------------------------------------------
343 0.2.9 (2006-01-24) "progressive turbulence"
344 -------------------------------------------
346 Internal audiod receivers/filters, the new error subsystem and
347 a lot of small improvements.
349 - para_recv and para_filter are integrated into the para_audiod
350 binary, i.e. audiod no longer spawns a new process for
351 each receiver/filter. As para_recv and para_filter might be
352 useful as standalone programs, they still get built (linked
353 against the same object files that are also used for audiod).
354 - further ortp timing improvements should reduce the CPU usage
355 of the ortp receiver.
356 - improved audio grabbing. The 'grab' command of para_audiod
357 has its own set of command line options. Read the output of
358 "para_audioc help grab" for more info.
359 - oggdec: configurable input prebuffer size.
360 - the new error subsystem gives better error diagnostics
361 and reduces code size.
364 -----------------------------------------
365 0.2.8 (2006-01-02) "dynamic accumulation"
366 -----------------------------------------
368 The new modular filter design and the para_play-hangs bugfix.
370 - new executable: para_filter. It combines para_mp3dec,
371 para_oggdec and para_compress. It also adds a further filter
372 type, wav, that just inserts a wave header at the desired point
373 of the filter chain. All 'piping' is done in-memory (i.e. no
374 read/write operations are used).
375 - para_play: fix a stupid bug that caused it to hang under
376 certain circumstances.
379 -------------------------------------------
380 0.2.7 (2006-12-27) "transparent invariance"
381 -------------------------------------------
383 Not many user-visible changes but a fair amount of internal improvements.
386 - The http sender buffers data if it can not be sent
387 out immediately (because the socket is not writable). This
388 should prevent para_server from shutting down the connection
389 too early on a loaded network.
390 - para_play also prebuffers data if it is told to start at a
391 future time by the --start_time option.
392 - The return of para_recv: It combines para_ortp_recv and
393 para_http_recv. Use the --receiver option to switch between
394 the two. para_recv builds without libortp, but contains
395 only the http receiver in this case.
396 - update to ortp 0.8.1. As this ortp release contains incompatible
397 changes, para_recv-0.2.7 won't link against older ortp libs.
398 - improved ortp timings.
399 - use of gcc-extensions that #define away for non-gcc and
403 -------------------------------------------
404 0.2.6 (2005-10-29) "recursive compensation"
405 -------------------------------------------
407 Transparent session encryption (uses openssl's Alleged RC4 cipher),
408 the internal find command and several other improvements and cleanups.
410 - Encrypt the session if encryption is requested by the client
411 (default for para_client 0.2.6). This is backwards
412 compatible, so older clients can still connect to para_server
413 0.2.6. Use the new client option --plain to request an
414 uncrypted session (off by default, must be set to on in
415 order to connect to para_server 0.2.x with 0 <= x <= 5).
416 - para_server uses an internal function to locate audio files
417 rather than calling find(1). The server option
418 --mysql_audio_file_dir replaces --mysql_find_cmd.
419 - documentation update
421 - header file cleanup
422 - para_client code cleanup
423 - para_gui: faster display of output of display commands
426 ------------------------------------------
427 0.2.5 (2005-10-13) "aggressive resolution"
428 ------------------------------------------
430 This release adds internal senders, i.e. no more external programs are
431 spawned for sending out the audio data. There are two different senders
432 available: The http sender and the ortp sender (former para_send which
433 is no longer needed).
435 The new sender code has a plugin-like design so it can be easily
436 extended should there be be any future need for supporting another
437 network streaming protocol. All senders are completely independent of
438 each other. In particular, the http and the ortp sender can operate
441 - new server command: sender to control senders at runtime.
442 Read the output of "para_server -h" and "para_client help
443 sender" for more information.
444 - para_recv renamed to para_ortp_recv
445 - new executable: para_http_recv, a simple command line
447 - major afs/mp3/ogg code simplifications due to internal
449 - ogg timing improvements
450 - fix several minor memory leaks (found by valgrind)
451 - empty stream definitions work again
452 - com_ne(): ignore errors on remove
453 - audiod: fix segfault on server restart
456 ---------------------------------------
457 0.2.4 (2005-09-21) "toxic anticipation"
458 ---------------------------------------
460 Several small improvements, fixes and the new grab command.
463 - new command: "grab" to grab the output of the stream reader
464 or any filters. Read the output of "para_audioc help grab"
465 for more information.
468 - audioc: new command line option: --bufsize to specify a
469 buffer size different from the default size 8192.
470 - improved error diagnostics for para_play.
471 - new configure option: --enable-ssldir so search for openssl in
473 - sdl_gui: Make it look nice again for 1024x768
474 - server: report total size of memory allocated with sbrk by malloc,
475 new command line option: --announce_time
478 -----------------------------------------
479 0.2.3 (2005-09-01) "hydrophilic movement"
480 -----------------------------------------
482 Two new executables and major feature enhancements.
484 - audiod filters: It is now possible to specify arbitrary many
485 (including none) filters for each supported audio
486 format. This can be used e.g. for normalizing volume,
487 transforming or grabbing the audio stream, or for using
488 visualizers. Read the output of "para_audiod -h" for the
489 syntax of the new --filter_cmd option.
490 - new executable: para_play, a tiny alsa player. It
491 can play wave files or raw pcm (16 bit little endian)
493 - new executable: para_compress, a dynamic range compressor
494 intended to keep audio output at a consistent volume. Derived
495 from AudioCompress, http://trikuare.cx/code/AudioCompress.html.
496 - audiod: New option: --stream_delay. This can be used in
497 a local network to syncronize the audio output of all
498 clients that play the same stream.
501 ------------------------------------------
502 0.2.2 (2005-08-19) "tangential excitation"
503 ------------------------------------------
505 Mostly internal changes in this release, but also some new commands
506 for the mysql database tool.
508 - cleanup exec.c, fix para_exec bug
509 - compile time loglevel (log messages below the given level
510 won't be compiled in, which reduces the size of the
512 - new log macros that shorten the size of the source code.
513 - workaround a gcc-4.1 bug (?) that caused send_cred_buffer()
514 to send only zeros. With this workaround, para_audioc works
516 - avoid gcc-4 warning: conflicting types for built-in function 'clog'
517 - new mysql commands: "rm" (remove entry), "mv" (rename entry) "ne"
518 (new entry), "snp" (set numplayed). Read the manual for more
522 ---------------------------------------
523 0.2.1 (2005-08-15) "surreal experience"
524 ---------------------------------------
526 Here comes paraslash-0.2.1. It contains a couple of new features and,
527 surprise, only minor bug fixes.
529 - kill noisy mp3 debug message
530 - cleanup of the build system
531 - para_server and para_client directly use the crypto routines
532 of the openssl library rather than invoking the openssl command
534 - server/audiod: new option --user to switch to the given user
535 when invoked as root. Read the output of "para_server -h" for
537 - gui/sdl_gui: new option --stat_cmd to be used to retrieve the
538 status. Default: "para_audioc stat"
539 - sdl_gui: new option --pic_cmd to be used to download the picture.
540 Default: "para_client pic"
541 - audiod: 5 slots ought to be enough for everybody
542 - audiod: new status item: Uptime, kill hup command
546 ------------------------------------------
547 0.2.0 (2005-08-06) "distributed diffusion"
548 ------------------------------------------
550 After several month of increased development activity, paraslash-0.2.0
551 has arrived. It contains many new features and is much more
552 self-contained than the old 0.1.x series. Enjoy!
555 - para_server: fix hang on song change and crash on sighup.
556 Speed up mysql queries. The DIR_LIKE macro is gone.
557 - new executables: para_audiod, the local audio daemon that
558 starts playback (uses SCM_CREDENTIALS socket magic) and
559 para_audioc, the corresponding client.
560 - new executables: para_mp3dec/para_oggdec, two really teensy
561 decoders. para_mp3dec is based on libmad, para_oggdec requires
563 - ovsend/ovrecv are capable of streaming ogg as well as mp3, so
564 they are now called para_send and para_recv respectively.
565 - documentation updates
566 - para_gui is themable. For now there is the default theme that
567 looks as before and the simple theme: blue and easy.
568 - gui: audio streaming is now handled by audiod. Time display shows
569 playback time rather than streaming time
570 - slider: update to libzmw-0.2.0
571 - para_krell: fix crash on server shutdown
572 - switch from gzip to bzip2
575 ----------------------------------------
576 0.1.7 (2005-04-18) "melting penetration"
577 ----------------------------------------
579 The main change in this release is clearly the oggvorbis rewrite,
580 but there are also lots of smaller changes. If you intend to use both
581 the mp3 and the ogg plugin, it is recommended to use software mixing,
582 e.g. the dmix plugin which is provided by ALSA.
584 - new executables: para_ovsend and para_ovrecv for sending/receiving
585 oggvorbis files via rtp. Requires the open rtp library. Get it at
586 http://www.linphone.org/ortp/
587 - rewrite of the ogg_vorbis core code
588 - configure detects libzmw and, if detected, includes
589 para_slider to the list of binaries to be built by make
590 - server stream writers read from their associated fifo rather
592 - slider: two new sliders, lastplayed and numplayed
593 - fix nasty double free bug which caused random segfaults in case of
594 mp3 files with invalid header information
595 - gui: new command line option: --stream_timeout=seconds to
596 deactivate a slot if it is idle for that many seconds (default=`5')
600 ---------------------------------------
601 0.1.6 (2005-03-05) "asymptotic balance"
602 ---------------------------------------
604 Only little user-visible changes in this release. Mainly bugfixes and
605 core code cleanup. This is probably the most stable version ever if you
608 - fix several memory leaks
609 - rename default name of mysql database from "music" to "paraslash".
610 Use para_server's --mysql_database option if you do not want to
611 rename your old database.
612 - rework ogg vorbis code
613 - make update command work on mysql servers with LOCAL_INFILE
615 - gui: improved stream I/O (slots)
616 - simplified audio format API
617 - para_pob_ogg is gone
619 ------------------------------------
620 0.1.5 (2004-12-31) "opaque eternity"
621 ------------------------------------
623 Let's slide gently into the new year.
625 - new: para_slider (not built automatically, type "make
626 para_slider" to build). A toy for those who always felt that
627 creating stream definitions is difficult. See screenshots,
628 README and FEATURES for more info.
629 - improved signal handling. Fixes server segfault on SIGHUP
630 for linux kernels newer than Aug 24 2004 and makes para_gui
632 - reload database tool on SIGHUP
633 - improved help message for sl
634 - do not log "broken pipe" messages as errors. They are
636 - fix wrong error message on permission errors
638 -----------------------------------------
639 0.1.4 (2004-12-19) "tunneling transition"
640 -----------------------------------------
642 Bugfix release. As expected, 0.1.3 introduced a bunch of new bugs.
643 Hopefully, most of them got wiped out with this release. Some
644 enhancements went also in.
646 - improved error diagnostics for all commands
647 - stradd/picadd: overwrite previous contents if entry already
648 exists, rather than returning errors
649 - stradd: use current stream if invoked without args
650 - faster (and hopefully more stable) ogg-vorbis handling
651 - para_krell: reap children to avoid zombie-flooding in case
653 - si: report also server pid
654 - server: don't busy-loop if dbtool reports only invalid files.
655 - gui: CTRL+C works again, fix stream_read command line option
657 - fix mysql dbtool startup in case no database exists
658 - many small fixes and cleanups
660 ---------------------------------------
661 0.1.3: (2004-12-10) "vanishing inertia"
662 ---------------------------------------
664 Starting from this release, the database tools are integrated in the
665 server binary. This decreases server startup time, reduces code size
666 and speeds up database commands. However, the layout of the underlying
667 mysql database changed only slightly and 0.1.3 should be backwards
668 compatible in that respect.
672 - If mysql is not detected at compile time, or fails to init
673 at runtime, fall back to the dopey database tool which should
675 - para_dbtool and dbtool.conf are gone. All mysql specific
676 options are read from server.conf and are prefixed by 'mysql_'.
677 - new command: cdt (change database tool)
678 - new command line option: dbtool (choose startup database tool)
679 - The name of current stream is now stored in the database,
680 so paraslash remembers its current stream when restarted.
681 - new command: csp (change stream and play)
682 - para_gui also reports current database tool and server uptime
685 -------------------------------------------
686 0.1.2: (2004-11-28) "spherical fluctuation"
687 -------------------------------------------
689 Point release before the big dbtool changes go in.
691 - dbtool: rename ca to cam (copy all meta data). It now also
692 copies numplayed and lastplayed time as well as the picture
694 - fix endless-loop-bug caused by mp3 files with invalid header
696 -----------------------------------------
697 0.1.1: (2004-11-05) "floating atmosphere"
698 -----------------------------------------
701 - new dbtool command: mbox. Browse your sound-file collection
702 with your favorite mail reader.

705 -------------------------------------
706 0.1.0: (2204-10-22) "rotating cortex"
707 -------------------------------------

716 -----------------------------------------
717 0.0.99: (2004-07-25) "harmonic deviation"
718 -----------------------------------------
720 - rename projectname from icc to paraslash (play, archive, rate
721 and stream large audio sets happily)
722 - paraslash is no longer restricted to one particular audio
724 - new dbtool commands (stradd, strq, strdel) for easy stream
725 managment w/o configuration file. That obsoletes stream_defs
726 file/config option for dbtool.
727 - picadd accepts jpeg data from stdin
728 - new server commands: ps (select previous stream), sc (song change)
729 - new default pictures for sdl_gui
730 - gui: new key_map option for binding commands and internal
731 functions to arbitrary keys, nice help screen, rip out

733 show silly logo on startup
734 - new executables: para_fade for fading volume, para_dbadm for
735 manipulating attributes
736 - cdb adds _all_ tables to mysql database
737 - revised and beautified documentation
738 - sample dbtool rewritten in C
741 ---------------------------------------------
742 0.0.98: (2003-12-26) "incremental smoothness"
743 ---------------------------------------------
745 - kick icecast in favour of poc. That removes some races and reduces
746 core code considerably.
747 - cbr/vbr is displayed by stat and gui/sdl_gui. New status flags
748 give finer info on afs' status.
749 - gui can start decoder (see config options). Further new gui
750 commands: refresh (^L), jmp (F1-F10)
751 - gui rereads conf on SIGUSR1 instead of SIGHUP. SIGHUP
752 terminates gui. This fixes dead instances consuming memory
