But there +is a lot more than that, as summarized in the list below. And of +course we have many small usability improvements and bug fixes not +mentioned here. + +- A more intuitive syntax for moods ("version 2 moods"). The + traditional version 1 moods are still supported but are deprecated + now. Removal of the version 1 mood parser is scheduled for the next + major release. +- Flex and bison are now required to build para_server. +- New sort order for the ls command: -s=h sorts the ls output by hash + value of the audio file. +- autogen.sh now runs the test suite after a successful build. +- The contents of overview.pdf have been integrated into the user + manual. +- Fixed sized audio format headers for ogg/opus streams. +- The doxygen source browser has been disabled temporarily. The + API reference is still online, though. +- Overhaul of the source code documentation. +- The deprecated --full-path option of the ls command has been + removed. It was a no-op since 0.6.0. +- The wma decoder has been cleaned up and its bitstream API made + more robust. +- The image/lyrics ID status items of the current audio file are now + updated on changes. This affects para_gui, which used to report the + old value until EOF. + + --------------------------------------- + 0.5.8 (2017-09-23) "branching parabola" + --------------------------------------- ++ + A couple of fixes for serious old bugs have accummulated in the maint + branch since paraslash-0.5.7 was released nine months ago. So here + is another 0.5.x release. As usual, all commits in the maint branch + have been merged into master, so the upcoming paraslash-0.6.1 also + contains them. For details see the git log. + + Downloads: + [tarball](./releases/paraslash-0.5.8.tar.bz2), + [signature](./releases/paraslash-0.5.8.tar.bz2.asc) + +------------------------------- +0.6.0 (2017-04-28) "fuzzy flux" +------------------------------- + +The highlights of this release are the conversion of all option parsers +to the lopsub library and the improved AAC support. But there are +many other user-visible changes all over the place. Also a lot of +old cruft has been removed, leading to incompatible changes. Hence +the new major version number. + +- Support for Mac OS X has been removed. +- On Linux systems, glibc-2.17 or newer is required to build the + source tree. +- Support for RSA public keys in ASN format (as generated by openssl + genrsa) has been removed. These keys have been deprecated since + 2011, so users should have long switched to keys generated with + ssh-keygen(1). +- If libgcrypt is used as the crypto library, we now require version + 1.5.0 (released in 2011) or later. +- The insecure RC4 stream cipher has been removed. It was superseded + by aes_ctr128 three years ago but the RC4 code had been kept for + backwards compatibility. +- On Linux, abstract unix domain sockets are used unconditionally. +- The "install" target no longer strips executables, the new + install-strip target can be used to get the old behaviour. +- The clean targets have been renamed: clean2 is gone, and the new + mostlyclean removes only the executables and object files. +- New target: check (identical to test). +- The DESTDIR make variable is honored to prepend a path to the + installation directory. This feature is orthogonal to the --prefix + option to configure. +- Minor WMA cleanups. +- The aac audio format handler has been rewritten to use the mp4ff library. + See the manual for how to install the library on your system. +- New status item: max_chunk_size. The value is stored in a previously + unused field of the afhi object of the aft table. Although backwards + compatible, users are encouraged to re-add m4a files to populate + the new field. +- No more chunk tables for aac. Chunk boundaries are determined + dynamically at stream time. +- Release and master branch tarballs are now compressed with xz rather + than bzip2. +- The lopsub package is required to install the paraslash package. + Gengetopt is no longer needed. +- make dep is gone. Dependencies have been created automatically for + a long time and it was never necessary to run make dep manually. +- para_gui lost its --timeout option. +- Most manual pages have been extended to include an overall + description of the command. +- The --stream-delay option of para_audiod has been removed. It had + been a no-op for many years. +- The deprecated --path option of the server ls command has been + removed. The command now prints full paths by default, making + --full-path a no-op. Hence --full-path has been depreacted and is + scheduled for removal in v0.6.1. +- It is now possible to use 'CFLAGS' to override the default compiler + options. +- para_fade has been renamed to para_mixer. The four modes of operation + (set, fade, snooze, sleep) are implemented as subcommands of the + new program. +- The sleep subcommand of para_mixer (former sleep mode of para_fade) + lost its --wake-hour and --wake-min options in favor of the new + --wake-time option which also accepts relative wakeup times like + "+9:30". +- The new --fade-exponent option of para_mixer allows for non-linear + channel fading. +- The new logo. + +Downloads: +[tarball](./releases/paraslash-0.6.0.tar.xz), +[signature](./releases/paraslash-0.6.0.tar.xz.asc) + ------------------------------------- 0.5.7 (2016-12-31) "semantic density" -------------------------------------
