No new features. + + - Always check return value of malloc(). + - ogg vorbis/FEC: Do not write garbage after the audio file header. + - exit if root privileges could not be dropped. + - FEC: Fix computation of extra slices. + - oss: Fix check for empty input buffer. + - Avoid buffer underruns due to filter chain output buffer constraints. + - server: Fix assignment of afs_pid. + - Don't panic if the afs database contains unknown audio formats. + - http/dccp: Do not send the audio file header twice. + - FEC: Timing improvements. + +-------------------------------------------- +0.3.5 (2009-09-21) "symplectic separability" +-------------------------------------------- + +Full client support for *BSD Unixes, complete re-write of the ogg +vorbis audio format handler, various improvements all over the place +and the usual mix of bugfixes. This release marks the end of the 0.3 +series if no serious problems show up. + + - the new oss writer (supported on *BSD and Linux) + - rewrite of the ogg vorbis audio format handler. It's + recommended to replace the chunk tables of existing ogg + vorbis files in the afs database by re-adding these files + with "add -f". + - support for netmask subsets (Gerrit Renker) + - the new prebuffer filter + - improved signal handling + - variable fec output buffer size + - improved FEC timing fixes audible buffer underruns in UDP mode + - --log_color actually works + - new ls option: -d (print dates as seconds after the epoch) + - update to gengetopt 2.22.2 + - support for RSA keys of size > 512 bits + - new option "mixer_channel" for para_fade + +----------------------------------------- +0.3.4 (2009-05-07) "elliptic inheritance" +----------------------------------------- + +The new udp sender, forward error correction, colored logs and various +other improvements. As the udp sender does not depend on any special +libraries, it is built unconditionally. + + - The udp sender replaces the ortp sender. The new code uses forward + error correction to protect against packet losses. Many thanks to + Gerrit Renker for providing ipv6 support. + - The default port for udp streaming now defaults to 8000, like + for the http and the dccp senders/receivers. + - Loglevels are now specified as symbolic names, e.g. + "--loglevel info". + - improved ipv4 and ipv6 URI parser (Gerrit Renker). + - para_server/para_audiod: Color support for log messages. + - new options for mp3dec: --ignore-crc, --bufsize + - new audiod option: --config-file. + - gengetopt cleanups. + - Improved help/man pages: The documentation of para_audiod, + para_recv, para_filter and para_write now also contains + all options of the available receivers/filters/writers. The + man page of para_fade contains a description of the different + modes of operation. + - More source code documentation. + - vss timing fixes. + +-------------------------------------------- +0.3.3 (2008-12-01) "axiomatic perspectivity" +-------------------------------------------- + +Internal code cleanups, bug fixes, improved tag handling and the new +amplification filter. + + - para_server uses the generic scheduling code. + - overhaul of the virtual streaming system. + - mp3: id3 version 2 support via libid3tag (optional) + - ogg: vorbis comment support. + - aac meta info support. + - mp3 audio format handler cleanups. + - new filter: "amp" to amplify the amplitude of the audio stream + - new status item/database entry: amplification. It is + used by the amp filter to pre-amplify the audio stream. + - fix a close-without-open bug in para_write. + - fix a bug in com_init() which was introduced in 0.3.2. + - better error diagnostics for para_client. + +----------------------------------------- +0.3.2 (2008-04-11) "probabilistic parity" +----------------------------------------- + +The new para_afh executable, scheduling and documentation improvements. - new ls option: -lc (list chunk table) - new executable: para_afh, the stand-alone audio file handler tool + - afs commands can send output more than SHMMAX (32MB on Linux). This + also reduces the memory usage of commands that produce large amounts + of output. + - major scheduler and audiod cleanups. + - more detailed and much nicer man pages. --------------------------------------- 0.3.1 (2008-02-23) "liquid interaction"
