fe33cfc0 | 69 | <p>The <tt>device</tt> configuration option now works under OS X. |
7cd4dd21 | 70 | Devices may |
f207f710 | 71 | be specified either by UID or name. Fixes <a |

f71fc3ab | 75 | <p>Gapless play should be more reliable, and playback latency over RTP |
6762ac8a | 76 | should be a bit lower. Note though that all the sound output code has |
f71fc3ab RK |
77 | been reorganized and in some cases completely rewritten, so it's possible |
78 | that bugs may have been (re-)introduced.</p> | |
7cd4dd21 RK |

80 | <p>The <tt>command</tt> backend now (optionally) sends silence instead | |
81 | of suspending writes when a pause occurs or no track is playing.</p> | |

229 | ||
230 | <div class=section> | |
231 | ||
232 | <p>A bug was fixed in the calculation of how much of the track had | |
e02f9807 RK |
233 | played. This would lead to the counter showing incorrect values in |
234 | various situations.</p> | |
d8b95785 RK |
235 | |
236 | <p>Disobedience's icons have been changed to larger, more colorful | |
237 | ones. The SVG source is included if you want to fiddle with them.</p> | |
238 | ||
a0e78d96 RK |
239 | <p>“Select all” is now no longer available in the choose |
240 | tab. Instead there is a new “Select children” option which | |
241 | selects the file children of a single subdirectory.</p> | |

246 | ||
247 | <div class=section> | |
248 | ||
249 | <p>The selection bias for newly added tracks was reduced by half. You | |
250 | can put it back to the old very neophilic value with | |
251 | “<tt>new_bias 900000</tt>” in the config file.</p> | |
252 | ||
ff45af7c RK |
253 | <p>It is now possible to ‘adopt’ randomly picked tracks. |
254 | Disobedience and the command-line client support this but the web | |
255 | interface does not.</p> | |
256 | ||
e02f9807 RK |
257 | <p>The default track name parsing was modified to handle filenames |
258 | generated by iTunes.</p> | |

370 | <p>Disobedience has been largely rewritten:</p> | |
371 | ||
372 | <ul> | |
373 | ||
374 | <li>All the tabs now use native GTK+ list/tree widgets, resulting in | |
375 | greater speed in some cases and more consistency with other GTK+ | |
376 | applications.</li> | |
377 | ||
378 | <li>You can now use type-ahead find in the choose tab. The initiation | |
379 | of a search is delayed slightly to avoid lots of updates when you're | |
380 | half way through entering search terms.</li> | |
381 | ||
382 | <li>The choose tab now shows track lengths.</li> | |
383 | ||
384 | <li>Many buttons are now more reliably made insensitive when they can't | |
385 | be used.</li> | |
30f2f8c9 RK |
386 | |
387 | <li>You can now play tracks off the recent tab.</li> | |

390 | ||
391 | <p>Disobedience attempts to cope with servers from older versions, up to | |

437 | <h4>Event Scheduling</h4> | |
438 | ||
439 | <div class=section> | |
440 | ||
441 | <p>It is now possible to schedule events to occur in the future. | |
442 | Currently the supported actions are playing a specific track, and | |
443 | changing a global preference (thus allowing e.g. random play to be | |
444 | turned on or off). See the <tt>schedule-*</tt> | |
445 | commands described in disorder(1).</p> | |

449 | <h4>Random Track Choice</h4> | |
450 | ||
451 | <div class=section> | |
452 | ||
453 | <p>This has been completely rewritten to support new features:</p> | |
454 | ||
455 | <ul> | |
456 | ||
457 | <li>tracks in the recently-played list or in the queue are no longer | |
458 | eligible for random choice.</li> | |
459 | ||
460 | <li>there is a new <tt>weight</tt> track preference allowing for | |
461 | non-uniform track selection. See disorder(1) for details.</li> | |
462 | ||
463 | <li>there is a new configuration item <tt>replay_min</tt> defining | |
464 | the minimum time before a played track can be picked at random. | |
465 | The default is 8 hours (which matches the earlier behaviour).</li> | |
466 | ||
467 | <li>recently added tracks are biased up; see <tt>new_bias</tt> and | |
468 | <tt>new_bias_age</tt> in disorder_config(5).</li> | |

474 | <h4>Web Interface</h4> | |
475 | ||
476 | <div class=section> | |
477 | ||
478 | <p>This has been largely rewritten. The most immediate benefits are:</p> | |
479 | ||
480 | <ul> | |
481 | ||
482 | <li>the search page is integrated into the choose page, and | |
483 | includes links to parent directories.</li> | |
484 | ||
485 | <li>if you try to do something you have insufficient rights for, | |
486 | instead of getting an error page or nothing happening, you are | |
487 | redirected to the login page.</li> | |
488 | ||

491 | <p>Customizers should find their lives easier: the syntax is less onerous, it | |
492 | is possible to define macros to avoid repetition, and the documentation is | |
493 | less monolithic (see disorder.cgi(8) as a starting point).</p> | |

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

499 | <p>The web interface is now installed automatically. If you don't want it, |
500 | use <tt>./configure --without-cgi</tt>. If you want it in a non-default | |
501 | location, or no location for it is detected, set <tt>cgidir</tt> | |
502 | and <tt>httpdir</tt> on the <tt>./configure</tt> command line.</p> | |

512 | <p>There is now a new user management window. From here you can add and | |
513 | remove users or modify their settings.</p> | |
514 | ||
515 | <p>Relatedly, the server will only allow remote user management if you set | |
516 | <tt>remote_userman</tt> to <tt>yes</tt>.</p> | |

581 | <h2>Changes up to version 3.0.2</h2> | |
582 | ||
583 | <div class=section> | |
584 | ||
585 | <p>Builds <tt>--without-server</tt> should work again.</p> | |
586 | ||
587 | <p>The web interface is a bit more liberal in the cookie value | |
588 | syntax it will accept.</p> | |
589 | ||
590 | <p>Clients fail more gracefully if no password is available.</p> | |
591 | ||
592 | </div> | |
593 | ||
594 | <h2>Changes up to version 3.0.1</h2> | |
595 | ||
596 | <div class=section> | |
597 | ||
598 | <p>Debian upgrades from 2.0.x should now work better.</p> | |
599 | ||
600 | </div> | |
601 | ||
602 | <h2>Changes up to version 3.0</h2> | |
603 | ||
604 | <div class=section> | |
605 | ||
606 | <p><b>Important</b>! See <a | |
607 | href="README.upgrades">README.upgrades</a> when upgrading.</p> | |
608 | ||
609 | <h3>Platforms And Installation</h3> | |
610 | ||
611 | <div class=section> | |
612 | ||
613 | <p>Mac OS X and FreeBSD are somewhat supported. There is now a bash | |
614 | script in <tt>scripts/setup</tt> which will automate the setup after | |
615 | <tt>make install</tt>.</p> | |
616 | ||
617 | </div> | |
618 | ||
619 | <h3>Server</h3> | |
620 | ||
621 | <div class=section> | |
622 | ||
623 | <p>Users are now stored in the database rather than a configuration | |
624 | file.</p> | |
625 | ||
626 | <p>The server now has a built-in list of stopwords and players, so | |
627 | only additions to these need be mentioned in the configuration file.</p> | |
628 | ||
629 | <p>The default inter-track gap is now 0s.</p> | |
630 | ||
631 | <p>How sound is played is now controlled via the new <tt>api</tt> | |
632 | configuration command. This also controls how the volume is set, | |
633 | which now works with ALSA as well as OSS.</p> | |
634 | ||
635 | <p>A bug in the MP3 decoder was fixed (also in 2.0.4).</p> | |
636 | ||
637 | </div> | |
638 | ||
639 | <h3>Web Interface</h3> | |
640 | ||
641 | <div class=section> | |
642 | ||
643 | <p>The web interface now uses cookies to remember user identity, and | |
644 | allows online registration of new users. Also it is no longer | |
645 | necessary to manually specify the URL of the web interface (but you | |
646 | can override it if you don't like the value it figures out).</p> | |
647 | ||
648 | <p>It is possible to allow users to register via the web interface.</p> | |
649 | ||
650 | <p>The web interface's browser support has been improved. It has | |
651 | been tested with Firefox 2, Safari 3, Konqueror 3, Internet Explorer | |
652 | 7 and Opera 9.</p> | |
653 | ||
654 | </div> | |
655 | ||
656 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> | |
657 | ||
658 | <div class=section> | |
659 | ||
660 | <p>A bug which would cause a crash if you attempt to rearrange the | |
661 | queue while no track was playing has been fixed. There is a new | |
662 | 'deselect all tracks' option, mirroring 'select all tracks.</p> | |
