This allows + to replace 5 lines in the config file (one for each audio + format) by one single line. See the manual for details. + - Compiles cleanly also with llvm/clang. + +-------------------------------------- +0.4.7 (2011-06-01) "infinite rollback" +-------------------------------------- + +The new ao writer, support for ssh RSA keys and a couple of other +enhancements. + + - Support for ESD, Pulseaudio, AIX, Solaris, IRIX and other + platforms through the libao audio library. + - Support for RSA keys generated with ssh-keygen. + - configure: improved options for ogg/vorbis/speex. + - The git version reported by --version always matches HEAD. + - The autogen script detects the number of processors and + runs a parallel make if possible. + - Major cleanup of the crypto API. + - Documentation updates. + +------------------------------------------ +0.4.6 (2011-03-31) "deterministic entropy" +------------------------------------------ + +Lots of ogg/vorbis improvements, the new test suite, enhancements +for para_gui and a fair amount of other bug fixes. + + - For DCCP/OGG streams the audio file header is only sent once + at the beginning of the stream rather than periodically + every five seconds. This reduces network traffic and the + FEC group size. + - The vorbis comment header is replaced by an empty dummy header + before the header is sent over the network. This also results in + less network traffic and smaller FEC groups. + - The new "test" make target allows to perform some sanity checks prior + to installing the package. + - ogg timing fixes and performance improvements + - Scheduler improvements + - Proper exit codes for para_write + - para_gui: New option --theme to select a startup theme. Several + other improvements and fixes. + - aacdec error message cleanups + - simplified color error handling -------------------------------------------- -0.4.1 (to be announced) "concurrent horizon" +0.4.5 (2010-12-17) "symmetric randomization" -------------------------------------------- -Support for another audio format and bug fixes: All fixes that have -been accumulated in the 0.3.6 release appear in this release as well. +Bug fixes, internal cleanups and variable-sized FEC slices. + + - Contains a fix for an invalid-free-bug in the ogg audio format + handler code. + - Switching off the DCCP sender works again. + - para_audiod handles crashes of para_server more robustly. + - Internal scheduler and writer cleanups. + - Reduced latency due to variable-sized FEC slices. + - Improved documentation and error diagnostics. + - The build of para_server is now optional, allowing the build + to succeed in case libosl is not installed. + +------------------------------------------ +0.4.4 (2010-08-06) "persistent regularity" +------------------------------------------ + +Support for yet another audio format, para_write improvements and +bug fixes. + + - Support for the speex codec. + - Support for sample formats other than 16 bit little endian. + - error2.h is now created by a perl script which speeds up configure + considerably. + - Fix a bug in the aac decoder which could lead to segfaults in + para_filter/para_audiod. + - Fixes for autoconf-2.66. + +---------------------------------------- +0.4.3 (2010-07-05) "imaginary radiation" +---------------------------------------- + +Many improvements for the DCCP and the UDP transport, the new user +manual and the usual mix of bug fixes and internal improvements. + + - FEC support for the DCCP sender (Gerrit Renker). The new + --dccp_max_slice_size, --dccp_data_slices_per_group and + --dccp_slices_per_group options can be used to set the FEC + parameters for the DCCP transport. + - DNS lookups for UDP targets (Gerrit Renker). + - The new user manual replaces the README, README.afs, REQUIREMENTS + and INSTALL documents. + - Fix an end-of-file detection bug in the oggdec filter. + - The new nonblock API. + - Both options of the oggdec filter have been removed. + - New debug mode for the internal scheduler. + +------------------------------------------ +0.4.2 (2010-04-23) "associative expansion" +------------------------------------------ + +It's been some time since the last release, but finally here is +paraslash-0.4.2. The bulk of the changes comes from the new buffer +tree API, but there are changes all over the tree. Mainly performance +and usability improvements, but also quite some bug fixes. + + - The new buffer tree API. + - DCCP: Support for CCID negotiation (Gerrit Renker). + - UDP robustness fixes. + - The --bufsize option for mp3dec is gone as it no longer makes sense + for the new buffer tree API. + - Fix audible buffer underruns for wma streams. + - The alsa writer no longer prints meaningless underrun durations. + - audiod: Defaults work also for udp streams. If no filter is + given for an audio format that is received via upd, fecdec is + automatically added as the first filter (along with the decoder). + +--------------------------------------- +0.4.1 (2009-12-22) "concurrent horizon" +--------------------------------------- + +Support for another audio format, minor feature enhancements and lots of bug +fixes. All fixes that have been accumulated in the maint branch (in particular +those mentionened in the 0.3.6 release notes) appear in this release as well. - wma support. - new afh option: --human to activate human-readable output. - new server/audiod option: --log-timing to print timing information. - - build system improvments. + - build system improvements. + - source code documentation updates. ------------------------------------- 0.3.6 (2009-12-07) "cubic continuity"
