It contains a fair number of improvements, +features and fixes all over the place. + +- The ff command now accepts a negative argument to instruct the + virtual streaming system to jump backwards in the current audio + stream. The old syntax (e.g., "ff 30-") is still supported but it + is deprecated and no longer documented. The compatibility code is + sheduled for removal after 0.7.0. +- para_afh: New option: --preserve to reset the modification time to + the value of the original file after meta data modification. +- Overhaul of the compress filter code. The refined algorithm should + reduce clipping. The meaning of --aggressiveness has changed, see the + updated and extended documentation of the compress filter for details. +- Cleanup of the audio format handler code. +- We now build the tree using the .ONESHELL feature of GNU make, + which results in a significant speedup. +- Two robustness fixes for FreeBSD. +- para_client now supports RFC4716 private keys as generated with + ssh-keygen -m RFC4716. In fact, this key format has been made the + default, and the former PEM keys will be depreciated at some point. +- The ogg audio format handlers learned to detect holes and now report + the correct duration also if ogg pages are missing in the file. This + affects ogg/vorbis ogg/speex and ogg/opus. +- Robustness improvements for para_mixer. +- A fix for an old bug that could cause the server to crash or report + garbage in its status output. +- New para_play option: --end-of-playlist +- Streaming m4a files over udp has been improved. + +Downloads: +[tarball](./releases/paraslash-0.6.3.tar.xz), +[signature](./releases/paraslash-0.6.3.tar.xz.asc) + +-------------------------------------- +0.6.2 (2018-06-30) "elastic diversity" +-------------------------------------- + +The main new feature of this release is the --listen-address option +for para_server and para_audiod. But there are also a large number of +small improvements and bug fixes all over the place. The user-visible +changes include + +- para_gui no longer waits up to one second to update the screen when + the geometry of the terminal changes. +- Minor documentation improvements. +- Improvements to the crypto subsystem. +- The server subcommand "task" has been deprecated. It still works, + but prints nothing. It will be removed in the next major release. +- Server log output is now serialized, avoiding issues with partial + lines. +- It is now possible to switch to a different afs database by changing + the server configuration and sending SIGHUP to the server process. +- New server options: --listen--address, --http-listen-address and + --dccp-listen-address. These options restrict the set of listening + addresses of the TCP and DCCP sockets of the server process. +- The help commands of server, audiod, play now support --long. By default, + the short help is shown. +- The code which merges the command line options with the config file + options has been consolidated. +- If the current audio file is renamed, the status items are now updated + accordingly. +- After the server process received SIGHUP, changes to the current audio + file did not trigger an update of the status items.
