56 | <h1>DisOrder Change History</h1> | |
57 | ||
58 | <p>This file documents recent user-visible changes to DisOrder.</p> | |
59 | ||
60 | <h2>Changes up to version 3.1</h2> | |
61 | ||
62 | <div class=section> | |
63 | ||
64 | <h3>Server</h3> | |
65 | ||
66 | <div class=section> | |
67 | ||
68 | <p>The <tt>gap</tt> directive will no longer work. It could be | |
69 | restored if there is real demand.</p> | |
70 | ||
71 | <h4>Event Scheduling</h4> | |
72 | ||
73 | <div class=section> | |
74 | ||
75 | <p>It is now possible to schedule events to occur in the future. | |
76 | Currently the supported actions are playing a specific track, and | |
77 | changing a global preference (thus allowing e.g. random play to be | |
78 | turned on or off). See the <tt>schedule-*</tt> | |
79 | commands described in disorder(1).</p> | |
80 | ||
81 | </div> | |
82 | ||
83 | <h4>Random Track Choice</h4> | |
84 | ||
85 | <div class=section> | |
86 | ||
87 | <p>This has been completely rewritten to support new features:</p> | |
88 | ||
89 | <ul> | |
90 | ||
91 | <li>tracks in the recently-played list or in the queue are no longer | |
92 | eligible for random choice.</li> | |
93 | ||
94 | <li>there is a new <tt>weight</tt> track preference allowing for | |
95 | non-uniform track selection. See disorder(1) for details.</li> | |
96 | ||
97 | <li>there is a new configuration item <tt>replay_min</tt> defining | |
98 | the minimum time before a played track can be picked at random. | |
99 | The default is 8 hours (which matches the earlier behaviour).</li> | |
100 | ||
101 | <li>recently added tracks are biased up; see <tt>new_bias</tt> and | |
102 | <tt>new_bias_age</tt> in disorder_config(5).</li> | |
103 | ||
104 | </ul> | |
105 | ||
106 | </div> | |
107 | ||
108 | <h4>Web Interface</h4> | |
109 | ||
110 | <div class=section> | |
111 | ||
112 | <p>This has been largely rewritten. The most immediate benefits are:</p> | |
113 | ||
114 | <ul> | |
115 | ||
116 | <li>the search page is integrated into the choose page, and | |
117 | includes links to parent directories.</li> | |
118 | ||
119 | <li>if you try to do something you have insufficient rights for, | |
120 | instead of getting an error page or nothing happening, you are | |
121 | redirected to the login page.</li> | |
122 | ||
123 | </ul> | |
124 | ||
125 | <p>Customizers should find their lives easier: the syntax is less onerous, it | |
126 | is possible to define macros to avoid repetition, and the documentation is | |
127 | less monolithic (see disorder.cgi(8) as a starting point).</p> | |
128 | ||

129 | <p>Mail is now sent via the system sendmail program, though it remains |
130 | possible to use TCP to connect to an SMTP server. See <tt>sendmail</tt> and | |
131 | <tt>smtp_server</tt> in disorder_config(5).</p> | |

137 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> | |
138 | ||
139 | <div class=section> | |
140 | ||
141 | <p>There is now a new user management window. From here you can add and | |
142 | remove users or modify their settings.</p> | |
143 | ||
144 | <p>Relatedly, the server will only allow remote user management if you set | |
145 | <tt>remote_userman</tt> to <tt>yes</tt>.</p> | |
146 | ||
147 | </div> | |
148 | ||
149 | <h3>Miscellaneous</h3> | |
150 | ||
151 | <div class=section> | |
152 | ||
153 | <p><tt>scripts/setup</tt> now honors command line options, and can | |
154 | set up network play as well as the local default sound device.</p> | |
155 | ||
156 | </div> | |

210 | <h2>Changes up to version 3.0.2</h2> | |
211 | ||
212 | <div class=section> | |
213 | ||
214 | <p>Builds <tt>--without-server</tt> should work again.</p> | |
215 | ||
216 | <p>The web interface is a bit more liberal in the cookie value | |
217 | syntax it will accept.</p> | |
218 | ||
219 | <p>Clients fail more gracefully if no password is available.</p> | |
220 | ||
221 | </div> | |
222 | ||
223 | <h2>Changes up to version 3.0.1</h2> | |
224 | ||
225 | <div class=section> | |
226 | ||
227 | <p>Debian upgrades from 2.0.x should now work better.</p> | |
228 | ||
229 | </div> | |
230 | ||
231 | <h2>Changes up to version 3.0</h2> | |
232 | ||
233 | <div class=section> | |
234 | ||
235 | <p><b>Important</b>! See <a | |
236 | href="README.upgrades">README.upgrades</a> when upgrading.</p> | |
237 | ||
238 | <h3>Platforms And Installation</h3> | |
239 | ||
240 | <div class=section> | |
241 | ||
242 | <p>Mac OS X and FreeBSD are somewhat supported. There is now a bash | |
243 | script in <tt>scripts/setup</tt> which will automate the setup after | |
244 | <tt>make install</tt>.</p> | |
245 | ||
246 | </div> | |
247 | ||
248 | <h3>Server</h3> | |
249 | ||
250 | <div class=section> | |
251 | ||
252 | <p>Users are now stored in the database rather than a configuration | |
253 | file.</p> | |
254 | ||
255 | <p>The server now has a built-in list of stopwords and players, so | |
256 | only additions to these need be mentioned in the configuration file.</p> | |
257 | ||
258 | <p>The default inter-track gap is now 0s.</p> | |
259 | ||
260 | <p>How sound is played is now controlled via the new <tt>api</tt> | |
261 | configuration command. This also controls how the volume is set, | |
262 | which now works with ALSA as well as OSS.</p> | |
263 | ||
264 | <p>A bug in the MP3 decoder was fixed (also in 2.0.4).</p> | |
265 | ||
266 | </div> | |
267 | ||
268 | <h3>Web Interface</h3> | |
269 | ||
270 | <div class=section> | |
271 | ||
272 | <p>The web interface now uses cookies to remember user identity, and | |
273 | allows online registration of new users. Also it is no longer | |
274 | necessary to manually specify the URL of the web interface (but you | |
275 | can override it if you don't like the value it figures out).</p> | |
276 | ||
277 | <p>It is possible to allow users to register via the web interface.</p> | |
278 | ||
279 | <p>The web interface's browser support has been improved. It has | |
280 | been tested with Firefox 2, Safari 3, Konqueror 3, Internet Explorer | |
281 | 7 and Opera 9.</p> | |
282 | ||
283 | </div> | |
284 | ||
285 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> | |
286 | ||
287 | <div class=section> | |
288 | ||
289 | <p>A bug which would cause a crash if you attempt to rearrange the | |
290 | queue while no track was playing has been fixed. There is a new | |
291 | 'deselect all tracks' option, mirroring 'select all tracks.</p> | |
