NEWS ==== 0.?.? (to be announced) "atomic duality" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ o update to gengetopt-2.16 o switch from cvs to git o the new ipc subsystem o new database tool: plm, the playlist manager o dopey renamed to random. It is now the default database tool. Use the --dbtool option to choose another dbtool at startup, or the cdt command to switch between the supported dbtools. 0.2.10 (2006-02-17) "cyclic attractor" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Huge documentation update, a scrollable window for para_gui, ortp improvements, and of course many small fixes not mentioned here. The diffstat below is rather misleading as most insertions are due to the new source documentation. o autoconf cleanup o para_server also uses the new error subsystem o lots of new documentation (UTSL) o gui improvements: - keysyms for cursor keys and for next/previous page keys - scrollable output window - new internal commands: scroll up/down, page up/down - fix color of command output. o ortp: the --chunk_time and --header flags are no longer needed for para_recv/para_audiod as this information is now encoded in each rtp packet sent by para_server.

As para_recv and para_filter might be useful as standalone programs, they still get built (linked against the same object files that are also used for audiod). o further ortp timing improvements should reduce the CPU usage of the ortp receiver. o improved audio grabbing. The 'grab' command of para_audiod has its own set of command line options. Read the output of "para_audioc help grab" for more info. o oggdec: configurable input prebuffer size. o the new error subsystem gives better error diagnostics and reduces code size.

It combines para_mp3dec, para_oggdec and para_compress. It also adds a further filter type, wav, that just inserts a wave header at the desired point of the filter chain.

This should prevent para_server from shutting down the connection too early on a loaded network. o para_play also prebuffers data if it is told to start at a future time by the --start_time option. o The return of para_recv: It combines para_ortp_recv and para_http_recv. Use the --receiver option to switch between the two. para_recv builds without libortp, but contains only the http receiver in this case. o update to ortp 0.8.1. As this ortp release contains incompatible changes, para_recv-0.2.7 won't link against older ortp libs. o improved ortp timings. o use of gcc-extensions that #define away for non-gcc and gcc < 3.0.

This is backwards compatible, so older clients can still connect to para_server 0.2.6. Use the new client option --plain to request an uncrypted session (off by default, must be set to on in order to connect to para_server 0.2.x with 0 <= x <= 5). o para_server uses an internal function to locate audio files rather than calling find(1).

There are two different senders available: The http sender and the ortp sender (former para_send which is no longer needed). The new sender code has a plugin-like design so it can be easily extended should there be be any future need for supporting another network streaming protocol. All senders are completely independent of each other. In particular, the http and the ortp sender can operate in parallel. o new server command: sender to control senders at runtime. Read the output of "para_server -h" and "para_client help sender" for more information. o para_recv renamed to para_ortp_recv o new executable: para_http_recv, a simple command line http receiver. o major afs/mp3/ogg code simplifications due to internal senders. o ogg timing improvements o fix several minor memory leaks (found by valgrind) o empty stream definitions work again o com_ne(): ignore errors on remove o audiod: fix segfault on server restart New files: http.h http_recv.c http_recv.ggo http_send.c ortp.h ortp_recv.c ortp_recv.ggo ortp_send.c FEATURES | 27 +++- INSTALL | 19 +-- Makefile.in | 54 ++++----- NEWS | 36 ++++++ README | 45 ++++--- afs.c | 311 +++++++++++++++------------------------------------- audioc.c | 10 + audiod.c | 82 +++++++------ audiod.ggo | 2 command.c | 184 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- configure.ac | 36 ++++-- daemon.c | 10 + exec.c | 33 ----- gui.c | 6 - index.html | 6 - mp3.c | 144 ++++-------------------- mysql.c | 52 ++++---- net.c | 58 ++++++++- ogg.c | 289 ++++++++++++++---------------------------------- oggdec.c | 19 ++- para.h | 23 ++- server.c | 128 ++++++++++++++------- server.ggo | 17 ++ server.h | 40 ++++-- skencil/overview.sk | 86 +++----------- string.c | 51 +++++--- 26 files changed, 870 insertions(+), 898 deletions(-) 0.2.4 (2005-09-21) "toxic anticipation" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Several small improvements, fixes and the new grab command. o audiod: - new command: "grab" to grab the output of the stream reader or any filters.

This can be used e.g. for normalizing volume, transforming or grabbing the audio stream, or for using visualizers. Read the output of "para_audiod -h" for the syntax of the new --filter_cmd option. o new executable: para_play, a tiny alsa player.

It contains many new features and is much more self-contained than the old 0.1.x series. Enjoy! o para_server: fix hang on song change and crash on sighup. Speed up mysql queries. The DIR_LIKE macro is gone. o new executables: para_audiod, the local audio daemon that starts playback (uses SCM_CREDENTIALS socket magic) and para_audioc, the corresponding client. o new executables: para_mp3dec/para_oggdec, two really teensy decoders. para_mp3dec is based on libmad, para_oggdec requires libvorbisfile. o ovsend/ovrecv are capable of streaming ogg as well as mp3, so they are now called para_send and para_recv respectively. o documentation updates o para_gui is themable. For now there is the default theme that looks as before and the simple theme: blue and easy. o gui: audio streaming is now handled by audiod.

Mainly bugfixes and core code cleanup. This is probably the most stable version ever if you stick to mp3... o fix several memory leaks o rename default name of mysql database from "music" to "paraslash". Use para_server's --mysql_database option if you do not want to rename your old database. o rework ogg vorbis code o make update command work on mysql servers with LOCAL_INFILE disabled o gui: improved stream I/O (slots) o simplified audio format API o para_pob_ogg is gone 0.1.5 (2004-12-31) "opaque eternity" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let's slide gently into the new year. o new: para_slider (not built automatically, type "make para_slider" to build). A toy for those who always felt that creating stream definitions is difficult. See screenshots, README and FEATURES for more info. o improved signal handling. Fixes server segfault on SIGHUP for linux kernels newer than Aug 24 2004 and makes para_gui race-free. o reload database tool on SIGHUP o improved help message for sl o do not log "broken pipe" messages as errors. They are perfectly ok. o fix wrong error message on permission errors 0.1.4 (2004-12-19) "tunneling transition" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bugfix release. As expected, 0.1.3 introduced a bunch of new bugs. Hopefully, most of them got wiped out with this release. Some enhancements went also in. o improved error diagnostics for all commands o stradd/picadd: overwrite previous contents if entry already exists, rather than returning errors o stradd: use current stream if invoked without args o faster (and hopefully more stable) ogg-vorbis handling o para_krell: reap children to avoid zombie-flooding in case no server is running o si: report also server pid o server: don't busy-loop if dbtool reports only invalid files. o gui: CTRL+C works again, fix stream_read command line option o fix pic_add, hist o fix mysql dbtool startup in case no database exists o many small fixes and cleanups 0.1.3: (2004-12-10) "vanishing inertia" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Starting from this release, the database tools are integrated in the server binary. This decreases server startup time, reduces code size and speeds up database commands. However, the layout of the underlying mysql database changed only slightly and 0.1.3 should be backwards compatible in that respect. Visible changes: o If mysql is not detected at compile time, or fails to init at runtime, fall back to the dopey database tool which should always work. o para_dbtool and dbtool.conf are gone. All mysql specific options are read from server.conf and are prefixed by 'mysql_'. o new command: cdt (change database tool) o new command line option: dbtool (choose startup database tool) o The name of current stream is now stored in the database, so paraslash remembers its current stream when restarted. o new command: csp (change stream and play) o para_gui also reports current database tool and server uptime 0.1.2: (2004-11-28) "spherical fluctuation" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Point release before the big dbtool changes go in. o dbtool: rename ca to cam (copy all meta data).
