25 | <p>The server will now automatically initiate a rescan when a filesystem is | |
8488cf7d RK |
26 | mounted or unmounted. (Use the <tt>mount_rescan</tt> option if you want to |
27 | suppress this behavior.)</p> | |
5bb003c8 RK |
28 | |
29 | <p>The server takes care not to hold audio files open unnecessarily, so | |
30 | that devices can be unmounted even if tracks from them are currently being | |
31 | buffered.</p> | |

49 | ||
50 | <p>The Debian package now includes a cronjob that backs up the database | |
51 | daily. See <tt>/etc/cron.d/disorder</tt>. You can put settings | |
52 | in <tt>/etc/default/disorder</tt> to turn this off or to control how long | |
53 | the backups are kept for.</p> | |

55 | <p>The <tt>disorder-dump -r</tt> option was broken.</p> | |

77 | appear in your configuration file then the server will not start.</li> | |
78 | ||
79 | <li>The <tt>columns</tt> web interface option. It will generate an | |
80 | message in your error log but otherwise be ignored.</li> | |
81 | ||
82 | <li>The <tt>--wait-for-device</tt> player option. If it still appears in | |
83 | any player commands, they will not work.</li> | |

7cd4dd21 | 135 | Devices may |

138 | 27</a>.</p> | |
f207f710 | 139 | |
f71fc3ab | 140 | <p>Gapless play should be more reliable, and playback latency over RTP |
6762ac8a | 141 | should be a bit lower. Note though that all the sound output code has |
f71fc3ab | 142 | been reorganized and in some cases completely rewritten, so it's possible |
900fa0b8 RK |
143 | that bugs may have been (re-)introduced. Decoding of scratches is also |
144 | initiated ahead of time, giving more reliable playback.</p> | |
7cd4dd21 RK |
145 | |
146 | <p>The <tt>command</tt> backend now (optionally) sends silence instead | |
147 | of suspending writes when a pause occurs or no track is playing.</p> | |
c3feb35b RK |
148 | |
149 | <p>If <a href="http://www.mega-nerd.com/SRC/">libsamplerate</a> is | |
150 | available at build time then that will be used instead of invoking | |
317dc3e8 RK |

154 | <p>The libao plugin has been removed, because the plugin API is not |

193 | <p>There is a new <tt>--command</tt> option which allows the RTP player | |

469 | ||
470 | <div class=section> | |
471 | ||
472 | <p>Disobedience has been largely rewritten:</p> | |
473 | ||
474 | <ul> | |
475 | ||
476 | <li>All the tabs now use native GTK+ list/tree widgets, resulting in | |
477 | greater speed in some cases and more consistency with other GTK+ | |
478 | applications.</li> | |
479 | ||
480 | <li>You can now use type-ahead find in the choose tab. The initiation | |
481 | of a search is delayed slightly to avoid lots of updates when you're | |
482 | half way through entering search terms.</li> | |
483 | ||
484 | <li>The choose tab now shows track lengths.</li> | |
485 | ||
486 | <li>Many buttons are now more reliably made insensitive when they can't | |
487 | be used.</li> | |
30f2f8c9 RK |
488 | |
489 | <li>You can now play tracks off the recent tab.</li> | |
490 | ||
452ad6ba RK |
491 | </ul> |
492 | ||
493 | <p>Disobedience attempts to cope with servers from older versions, up to | |
494 | a point, but this is not well tested and it's best to keep the server | |
495 | fully up to date.</p> | |
496 | ||
497 | </div> | |
498 | ||
499 | <h3>Server</h3> | |
500 | ||
501 | <div class=section> | |
502 | ||
503 | <p>When a track shares a directory with its alias, the real track name is | |
504 | now returned instead of the alias (the opposite way round to the previous | |
505 | behaviour).</p> | |

532 | <h3>Server</h3> | |
533 | ||
534 | <div class=section> | |
535 | ||
536 | <p>The <tt>gap</tt> directive will no longer work. It could be | |
537 | restored if there is real demand.</p> | |
538 | ||
539 | <h4>Event Scheduling</h4> | |
540 | ||
541 | <div class=section> | |
542 | ||
543 | <p>It is now possible to schedule events to occur in the future. | |
544 | Currently the supported actions are playing a specific track, and | |
545 | changing a global preference (thus allowing e.g. random play to be | |
546 | turned on or off). See the <tt>schedule-*</tt> | |
547 | commands described in disorder(1).</p> | |
548 | ||
549 | </div> | |
550 | ||
551 | <h4>Random Track Choice</h4> | |
552 | ||
553 | <div class=section> | |
554 | ||
555 | <p>This has been completely rewritten to support new features:</p> | |
556 | ||
557 | <ul> | |
558 | ||
559 | <li>tracks in the recently-played list or in the queue are no longer | |
560 | eligible for random choice.</li> | |
561 | ||
562 | <li>there is a new <tt>weight</tt> track preference allowing for | |
563 | non-uniform track selection. See disorder(1) for details.</li> | |
564 | ||
565 | <li>there is a new configuration item <tt>replay_min</tt> defining | |
566 | the minimum time before a played track can be picked at random. | |
567 | The default is 8 hours (which matches the earlier behaviour).</li> | |
568 | ||
569 | <li>recently added tracks are biased up; see <tt>new_bias</tt> and | |
570 | <tt>new_bias_age</tt> in disorder_config(5).</li> | |
571 | ||
572 | </ul> | |
573 | ||
574 | </div> | |
575 | ||
576 | <h4>Web Interface</h4> | |
577 | ||
578 | <div class=section> | |
579 | ||
580 | <p>This has been largely rewritten. The most immediate benefits are:</p> | |
581 | ||
582 | <ul> | |
583 | ||
584 | <li>the search page is integrated into the choose page, and | |
585 | includes links to parent directories.</li> | |
586 | ||
587 | <li>if you try to do something you have insufficient rights for, | |
588 | instead of getting an error page or nothing happening, you are | |
589 | redirected to the login page.</li> | |
590 | ||
591 | </ul> | |
592 | ||
593 | <p>Customizers should find their lives easier: the syntax is less onerous, it | |
594 | is possible to define macros to avoid repetition, and the documentation is | |
595 | less monolithic (see disorder.cgi(8) as a starting point).</p> | |
596 | ||
2eee4b0c RK |
597 | <p>Mail is now sent via the system sendmail program, though it remains |
598 | possible to use TCP to connect to an SMTP server. See <tt>sendmail</tt> and | |
599 | <tt>smtp_server</tt> in disorder_config(5).</p> | |
4cbafe13 | 600 | |
64ac73bb RK |
601 | <p>The web interface is now installed automatically. If you don't want it, |
602 | use <tt>./configure --without-cgi</tt>. If you want it in a non-default | |
603 | location, or no location for it is detected, set <tt>cgidir</tt> | |
604 | and <tt>httpdir</tt> on the <tt>./configure</tt> command line.</p> | |

612 | <div class=section> | |
613 | ||
614 | <p>There is now a new user management window. From here you can add and | |
615 | remove users or modify their settings.</p> | |
616 | ||
617 | <p>Relatedly, the server will only allow remote user management if you set | |
618 | <tt>remote_userman</tt> to <tt>yes</tt>.</p> | |

711 | <h3>Platforms And Installation</h3> | |
712 | ||
713 | <div class=section> | |
714 | ||
715 | <p>Mac OS X and FreeBSD are somewhat supported. There is now a bash | |
716 | script in <tt>scripts/setup</tt> which will automate the setup after | |
717 | <tt>make install</tt>.</p> | |

720 | ||
721 | <h3>Server</h3> | |
722 | ||
723 | <div class=section> | |
724 | ||
725 | <p>Users are now stored in the database rather than a configuration | |
726 | file.</p> | |
727 | ||
728 | <p>The server now has a built-in list of stopwords and players, so | |
729 | only additions to these need be mentioned in the configuration file.</p> | |
730 | ||
731 | <p>The default inter-track gap is now 0s.</p> | |
732 | ||
733 | <p>How sound is played is now controlled via the new <tt>api</tt> | |
734 | configuration command. This also controls how the volume is set, | |
735 | which now works with ALSA as well as OSS.</p> | |
736 | ||
737 | <p>A bug in the MP3 decoder was fixed (also in 2.0.4).</p> | |
738 | ||
739 | </div> | |
740 | ||
741 | <h3>Web Interface</h3> | |
742 | ||
743 | <div class=section> | |
744 | ||
745 | <p>The web interface now uses cookies to remember user identity, and | |
746 | allows online registration of new users. Also it is no longer | |
747 | necessary to manually specify the URL of the web interface (but you | |
748 | can override it if you don't like the value it figures out).</p> | |
749 | ||
750 | <p>It is possible to allow users to register via the web interface.</p> | |
751 | ||
752 | <p>The web interface's browser support has been improved. It has | |
753 | been tested with Firefox 2, Safari 3, Konqueror 3, Internet Explorer | |
754 | 7 and Opera 9.</p> | |
755 | ||
756 | </div> | |

758 | <h3>Disobedience</h3> | |
759 | ||
760 | <div class=section> | |
761 | ||
762 | <p>A bug which would cause a crash if you attempt to rearrange the | |
763 | queue while no track was playing has been fixed. There is a new | |
764 | 'deselect all tracks' option, mirroring 'select all tracks.</p> | |
