4 0.?.? (to be announced) "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 compiles under MacOs (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-2.17
28 o para_client no longer depends on libreadline (as the
29 code for the interactive mode was removed).
32 0.2.11 (2006-03-11) "atomic duality"
33 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
35 Here it is, the first paraslash release developed with git. There
36 are fairly many user-visible changes in this release. As two out of
37 the three "database tools" of paraslash don't use a database at all,
38 they are now called "audio file selectors" instead.
41 o the cdt command (change database tool) becomes chs (change
44 o no more colon separators: The syntax of some options of
45 para_audiod and para_filter have changed. Use --help for
46 more info (and some examples).
48 o update to gengetopt-2.16 (thanks to Lorenzo Bettini)
50 o switch from cvs to git (should've done that earlier)
52 o the new ipc subsystem
54 o new audio file selector: playlist
56 o para_server: the dopey selector is now called "random",
57 and is the default selector. Use the --selector option to
58 choose another selector at startup, or the chs command to
59 change the selector at runtime.
61 o X86_64 fixes (thanks to Steffen Klassert)
66 0.2.10 (2006-02-17) "cyclic attractor"
67 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
69 Huge documentation update, a scrollable window for para_gui, ortp
70 improvements, and of course many small fixes not mentioned here.
71 The diffstat below is rather misleading as most insertions are due
72 to the new source documentation.
76 o para_server also uses the new error subsystem
78 o lots of new documentation (UTSL)
81 - keysyms for cursor keys and for next/previous page keys
82 - scrollable output window
83 - new internal commands: scroll up/down, page up/down
84 - fix color of command output.
86 o ortp: the --chunk_time and --header flags are no longer needed
87 for para_recv/para_audiod as this information is now encoded in
88 each rtp packet sent by para_server.

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

235 0.2.8 (2006-01-02) "dynamic accumulation"
236 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
238 The new modular filter design and the para_play-hangs bugfix.
240 o new executable: para_filter. It combines para_mp3dec,
241 para_oggdec and para_compress. It also adds a further filter
242 type, wav, that just inserts a wave header at the desired point
243 of the filter chain. All 'piping' is done in-memory (i.e. no
244 read/write operations are used).
246 o para_play: fix a stupid bug that caused it to hang under
247 certain circumstances.

272 0.2.7 (2006-12-27) "transparent invariance"
273 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
274 Not many user-visible changes but a fair amount of internal improvements.
277 o The http sender buffers data if it can not be sent
278 out immediately (because the socket is not writable). This
279 should prevent para_server from shutting down the connection
280 too early on a loaded network.
282 o para_play also prebuffers data if it is told to start at a
283 future time by the --start_time option.
285 o The return of para_recv: It combines para_ortp_recv and
286 para_http_recv. Use the --receiver option to switch between
287 the two. para_recv builds without libortp, but contains
288 only the http receiver in this case.
290 o update to ortp 0.8.1. As this ortp release contains incompatible
291 changes, para_recv-0.2.7 won't link against older ortp libs.
293 o improved ortp timings.
295 o use of gcc-extensions that #define away for non-gcc and
298 New files: gcc-compat.h

347 0.2.6 (2005-10-29) "recursive compensation"
348 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
349 Transparent session encryption (uses openssl's Alleged RC4 cipher),
350 the internal find command and several other improvements and cleanups.
352 o Encrypt the session if encryption is requested by the client
353 (default for para_client 0.2.6). This is backwards
354 compatible, so older clients can still connect to para_server
355 0.2.6. Use the new client option --plain to request an
356 uncrypted session (off by default, must be set to on in
357 order to connect to para_server 0.2.x with 0 <= x <= 5).
359 o para_server uses an internal function to locate audio files
360 rather than calling find(1). The server option
361 --mysql_audio_file_dir replaces --mysql_find_cmd.
363 o documentation update
367 o header file cleanup
369 o para_client code cleanup
371 o para_gui: faster display of output of display commands

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

483 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
484 Several small improvements, fixes and the new grab command.
487 - new command: "grab" to grab the output of the stream reader
488 or any filters. Read the output of "para_audioc help grab"
489 for more information.
493 o audioc: new command line option: --bufsize to specify a
494 buffer size different from the default size 8192.
496 o improved error diagnostics for para_play.
498 o new configure option: --enable-ssldir so search for openssl in
501 o sdl_gui: Make it look nice again for 1024x768
503 o server: report total size of memory allocated with sbrk by malloc,
504 new command line option: --announce_time

539 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
540 Two new executables and major feature enhancements.
542 o audiod filters: It is now possible to specify arbitrary many
543 (including none) filters for each supported audio
544 format. This can be used e.g. for normalizing volume,
545 transforming or grabbing the audio stream, or for using
546 visualizers. Read the output of "para_audiod -h" for the
547 syntax of the new --filter_cmd option.
549 o new executable: para_play, a tiny alsa player. It
550 can play wave files or raw pcm (16 bit little endian)
553 o new executable: para_compress, a dynamic range compressor
554 intended to keep audio output at a consistent volume. Derived
555 from AudioCompress, http://trikuare.cx/code/AudioCompress.html.
557 o audiod: New option: --stream_delay. This can be used in
558 a local network to syncronize the audio output of all
559 clients that play the same stream.

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

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

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

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

816 0.1.6 (2005-03-05) "asymptotic balance"
817 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
818 Only little user-visible changes in this release. Mainly bugfixes and
819 core code cleanup. This is probably the most stable version ever if you
822 o fix several memory leaks
823 o rename default name of mysql database from "music" to "paraslash".
824 Use para_server's --mysql_database option if you do not want to
825 rename your old database.
826 o rework ogg vorbis code
827 o make update command work on mysql servers with LOCAL_INFILE
829 o gui: improved stream I/O (slots)
830 o simplified audio format API
831 o para_pob_ogg is gone
833 0.1.5 (2004-12-31) "opaque eternity"
834 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
835 Let's slide gently into the new year.
837 o new: para_slider (not built automatically, type "make
838 para_slider" to build). A toy for those who always felt that
839 creating stream definitions is difficult. See screenshots,
840 README and FEATURES for more info.
841 o improved signal handling. Fixes server segfault on SIGHUP
842 for linux kernels newer than Aug 24 2004 and makes para_gui
844 o reload database tool on SIGHUP
845 o improved help message for sl
846 o do not log "broken pipe" messages as errors. They are
848 o fix wrong error message on permission errors
850 0.1.4 (2004-12-19) "tunneling transition"
851 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
852 Bugfix release. As expected, 0.1.3 introduced a bunch of new bugs.
853 Hopefully, most of them got wiped out with this release. Some
854 enhancements went also in.
856 o improved error diagnostics for all commands
857 o stradd/picadd: overwrite previous contents if entry already
858 exists, rather than returning errors
859 o stradd: use current stream if invoked without args
860 o faster (and hopefully more stable) ogg-vorbis handling
861 o para_krell: reap children to avoid zombie-flooding in case
863 o si: report also server pid
864 o server: don't busy-loop if dbtool reports only invalid files.
865 o gui: CTRL+C works again, fix stream_read command line option
867 o fix mysql dbtool startup in case no database exists
868 o many small fixes and cleanups
870 0.1.3: (2004-12-10) "vanishing inertia"
871 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
872 Starting from this release, the database tools are integrated in the
873 server binary. This decreases server startup time, reduces code size
874 and speeds up database commands. However, the layout of the underlying
875 mysql database changed only slightly and 0.1.3 should be backwards
876 compatible in that respect.
880 o If mysql is not detected at compile time, or fails to init
881 at runtime, fall back to the dopey database tool which should
883 o para_dbtool and dbtool.conf are gone. All mysql specific
884 options are read from server.conf and are prefixed by 'mysql_'.
885 o new command: cdt (change database tool)
886 o new command line option: dbtool (choose startup database tool)
887 o The name of current stream is now stored in the database,
888 so paraslash remembers its current stream when restarted.
889 o new command: csp (change stream and play)
890 o para_gui also reports current database tool and server uptime
893 0.1.2: (2004-11-28) "spherical fluctuation"
894 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
895 Point release before the big dbtool changes go in.
897 o dbtool: rename ca to cam (copy all meta data). It now also
898 copies numplayed and lastplayed time as well as the picture
900 o fix endless-loop-bug caused by mp3 files with invalid header
902 0.1.1: (2004-11-05) "floating atmosphere"
903 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
905 o new dbtool command: mbox. Browse your sound-file collection
906 with your favorite mail reader.
907 o several small fixes
909 0.1.0: (2204-10-22) "rotating cortex"
910 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
911 o fix logging bug for loglevel > VERBOSE
913 o correct timings for vbr mp3s
914 o modular audio format support
915 o ogg-vorbis support (experimental)
916 o new server option: autoplay
918 0.0.99: (2004-07-25) "harmonic deviation"
919 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
920 o rename projectname from icc to paraslash (play, archive, rate
921 and stream large audio sets happily)
922 o paraslash is no longer restricted to one particular audio
924 o new dbtool commands (stradd, strq, strdel) for easy stream
925 managment w/o configuration file. That obsoletes stream_defs
926 file/config option for dbtool.
927 o picadd accepts jpeg data from stdin
928 o new server commands: ps (select previous stream), sc (song change)
929 o new default pictures for sdl_gui
930 o gui: new key_map option for binding commands and internal
931 functions to arbitrary keys, nice help screen, rip out
932 soundcard/linux specific stuff, avoid noise artefacts while jumping,
933 show silly logo on startup
934 o new executables: para_fade for fading volume, para_dbadm for
935 manipulating attributes
936 o cdb adds _all_ tables to mysql database
937 o revised and beautified documentation
938 o sample dbtool rewritten in C
941 0.0.98: (2003-12-26) "incremental smoothness"
942 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
943 o kick icecast in favour of poc. That removes some races and reduces
944 core code considerably.
945 o cbr/vbr is displayed by stat and gui/sdl_gui. New status flags
946 give finer info on afs' status.
947 o gui can start decoder (see config options). Further new gui
948 commands: refresh (^L), jmp (F1-F10)
949 o gui rereads conf on SIGUSR1 instead of SIGHUP. SIGHUP
950 terminates gui. This fixes dead instances consuming memory
952 o new dbtool command: verb for sending verbatim sql queries.
953 o fix pid_list races (by removing pid_list)
958 o installation prefix now defaults to /usr/local
959 o new commands for gui: snozze, sleep and reread config
960 o config file for gui and sdl_gui
961 o fix problems with filenames containing funny characters
962 (reported by Thomas Forell)
963 o improved signal handling for gui, now it rereads conf on SIGHUP
964 o new dbtool command: cdb (create database)
965 o switch from argtable to gengetopt
966 o major code cleanup and speed improvements
967 o fix several potential buffer overflows
968 o many small fixes and cleanups
972 o easy stream_defs syntax
973 o sdl_gui can display images associated to the file being played
974 o Major feature enhancements for icc_gui including dynamic text
975 placement and the top/bottom window design
976 o vrfy/clean now also checks for NULL values in attributes as
977 well as for invalid picture pointers
978 o fix long outstanding case sensitivity bug
979 o many small fixes and cleanups
983 o sdl gui runs much faster
984 o new dbtool command: ca (copy attributes)
985 o count and display number of times the song has been played
986 o new feature: scoring
987 o command line options for sdl_gui
988 o simpler syntax of streams file
989 o decrease network traffic of stat
991 o many small fixes and cleanups
995 o new server command: ns (next stream)
996 o new icc_gui command: c (change stream)
998 o stat shows also id3 tag info
1000 o log flodding bug fixed
1001 o many small fixes and cleanups
1005 o colors for icc_gui
1006 o icc_gui sets volume directly (linux only)
