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> | |

43 | ||
164f2e93 RK |
44 | <p>The “Manage users” option is now more reliably greyed out if |
45 | it will not work. This depends on a server change too, so it may still be | |
46 | wrong if a new Disobedience is used against an old server.</p> | |
51827ce3 RK |
47 | |
48 | <p>A <tt>.desktop</tt> file is now shipped, making Disobedience visible as | |
49 | an application in freedesktop.org-compliant systems.</p> | |

53 | <h3>Backups</h3> |
54 | ||
55 | <div class=section> | |
56 | ||
57 | <p>The Debian package now includes a cronjob that backs up the database | |
58 | daily. See <tt>/etc/cron.d/disorder</tt>. You can put settings | |
59 | in <tt>/etc/default/disorder</tt> to turn this off or to control how long | |
60 | the backups are kept for.</p> | |
61 | ||
62 | <p>The <tt>disorder-dump -r</tt> option was broken.</p> | |
63 | ||
5568dfa8 | 64 | <p><tt>disorder-dump</tt> now gets permissions right automatically (<a |

84 | <li>The <tt>allow</tt>, <tt>gap</tt>, <tt>lock</tt>, <tt>prefsync</tt>, | |

86 | appear in your configuration file then the server will not start.</li> | |
87 | ||
88 | <li>The <tt>columns</tt> web interface option. It will generate an | |
89 | message in your error log but otherwise be ignored.</li> | |
90 | ||
91 | <li>The <tt>--wait-for-device</tt> player option. If it still appears in | |
92 | any player commands, they will not work.</li> | |
93 | ||
94 | <li>Support for automatically importing pre-3.0 users.</li> | |

147 | 27</a>.</p> | |
f207f710 | 148 | |
f71fc3ab | 149 | <p>Gapless play should be more reliable, and playback latency over RTP |
6762ac8a | 150 | should be a bit lower. Note though that all the sound output code has |
f71fc3ab | 151 | been reorganized and in some cases completely rewritten, so it's possible |
900fa0b8 RK |
152 | that bugs may have been (re-)introduced. Decoding of scratches is also |
153 | initiated ahead of time, giving more reliable playback.</p> | |
7cd4dd21 RK |
154 | |
155 | <p>The <tt>command</tt> backend now (optionally) sends silence instead | |
156 | of suspending writes when a pause occurs or no track is playing.</p> | |
c3feb35b RK |
157 | |
158 | <p>If <a href="http://www.mega-nerd.com/SRC/">libsamplerate</a> is | |
159 | available at build time then that will be used instead of invoking | |
317dc3e8 RK |

161 | removed in a future version.</p> | |

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

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

542 | ||
543 | <div class=section> | |
544 | ||
545 | <p>The <tt>gap</tt> directive will no longer work. It could be | |
546 | restored if there is real demand.</p> | |
547 | ||
548 | <h4>Event Scheduling</h4> | |
549 | ||
550 | <div class=section> | |
551 | ||
552 | <p>It is now possible to schedule events to occur in the future. | |
553 | Currently the supported actions are playing a specific track, and | |
554 | changing a global preference (thus allowing e.g. random play to be | |
555 | turned on or off). See the <tt>schedule-*</tt> | |
556 | commands described in disorder(1).</p> | |
557 | ||
558 | </div> | |
559 | ||
560 | <h4>Random Track Choice</h4> | |
561 | ||
562 | <div class=section> | |
563 | ||
564 | <p>This has been completely rewritten to support new features:</p> | |
565 | ||
566 | <ul> | |
567 | ||
568 | <li>tracks in the recently-played list or in the queue are no longer | |
569 | eligible for random choice.</li> | |
570 | ||
571 | <li>there is a new <tt>weight</tt> track preference allowing for | |
572 | non-uniform track selection. See disorder(1) for details.</li> | |
573 | ||
574 | <li>there is a new configuration item <tt>replay_min</tt> defining | |
575 | the minimum time before a played track can be picked at random. | |
576 | The default is 8 hours (which matches the earlier behaviour).</li> | |
577 | ||
578 | <li>recently added tracks are biased up; see <tt>new_bias</tt> and | |
579 | <tt>new_bias_age</tt> in disorder_config(5).</li> | |
580 | ||
581 | </ul> | |
582 | ||
583 | </div> | |
584 | ||
585 | <h4>Web Interface</h4> | |
586 | ||
587 | <div class=section> | |
588 | ||
589 | <p>This has been largely rewritten. The most immediate benefits are:</p> | |
590 | ||
591 | <ul> | |
592 | ||
593 | <li>the search page is integrated into the choose page, and | |
594 | includes links to parent directories.</li> | |
595 | ||
596 | <li>if you try to do something you have insufficient rights for, | |
597 | instead of getting an error page or nothing happening, you are | |
598 | redirected to the login page.</li> | |
599 | ||
600 | </ul> | |
601 | ||
602 | <p>Customizers should find their lives easier: the syntax is less onerous, it | |
603 | is possible to define macros to avoid repetition, and the documentation is | |
604 | less monolithic (see disorder.cgi(8) as a starting point).</p> | |
605 | ||
2eee4b0c RK |
606 | <p>Mail is now sent via the system sendmail program, though it remains |
607 | possible to use TCP to connect to an SMTP server. See <tt>sendmail</tt> and | |
608 | <tt>smtp_server</tt> in disorder_config(5).</p> | |
4cbafe13 | 609 | |
64ac73bb RK |
610 | <p>The web interface is now installed automatically. If you don't want it, |
611 | use <tt>./configure --without-cgi</tt>. If you want it in a non-default | |
612 | location, or no location for it is detected, set <tt>cgidir</tt> | |
613 | and <tt>httpdir</tt> on the <tt>./configure</tt> command line.</p> | |

622 | ||
623 | <p>There is now a new user management window. From here you can add and | |
624 | remove users or modify their settings.</p> | |
625 | ||
626 | <p>Relatedly, the server will only allow remote user management if you set | |
627 | <tt>remote_userman</tt> to <tt>yes</tt>.</p> | |

720 | <h3>Platforms And Installation</h3> | |
721 | ||
722 | <div class=section> | |
723 | ||
724 | <p>Mac OS X and FreeBSD are somewhat supported. There is now a bash | |
725 | script in <tt>scripts/setup</tt> which will automate the setup after | |
726 | <tt>make install</tt>.</p> | |

729 | ||
730 | <h3>Server</h3> | |
731 | ||
732 | <div class=section> | |
733 | ||
734 | <p>Users are now stored in the database rather than a configuration | |
735 | file.</p> | |
736 | ||
737 | <p>The server now has a built-in list of stopwords and players, so | |
738 | only additions to these need be mentioned in the configuration file.</p> | |
739 | ||
740 | <p>The default inter-track gap is now 0s.</p> | |
741 | ||
742 | <p>How sound is played is now controlled via the new <tt>api</tt> | |
743 | configuration command. This also controls how the volume is set, | |
744 | which now works with ALSA as well as OSS.</p> | |
745 | ||
746 | <p>A bug in the MP3 decoder was fixed (also in 2.0.4).</p> | |
747 | ||
748 | </div> | |
749 | ||
750 | <h3>Web Interface</h3> | |
751 | ||
752 | <div class=section> | |
753 | ||
754 | <p>The web interface now uses cookies to remember user identity, and | |
755 | allows online registration of new users. Also it is no longer | |
756 | necessary to manually specify the URL of the web interface (but you | |
757 | can override it if you don't like the value it figures out).</p> | |
758 | ||
759 | <p>It is possible to allow users to register via the web interface.</p> | |
760 | ||
761 | <p>The web interface's browser support has been improved. It has | |
762 | been tested with Firefox 2, Safari 3, Konqueror 3, Internet Explorer | |
763 | 7 and Opera 9.</p> | |

770 | ||
771 | <p>A bug which would cause a crash if you attempt to rearrange the | |
772 | queue while no track was playing has been fixed. There is a new | |
773 | 'deselect all tracks' option, mirroring 'select all tracks.</p> | |
