What's new in DisOrder 5.1.1
Oct 28, 2013
- Bug fixes:
- player and tracklength can now be used without arguments to clear the lists, as per the documentation.
- Tracks without a player are forgotten upon rescan.
- The speaker process avoids splitting frames.
New in DisOrder 5.1 (Feb 18, 2013)
- Removable Device Support:
- The server will now automatically initiate a rescan when a filesystem is mounted or unmounted. (Use the mount_rescan option if you want to suppress this behavior.)
- The server takes care not to hold audio files open unnecessarily, so that devices can be unmounted even if tracks from them are currently being buffered.
- Disobedience:
- You can now edit the required-tags and prohibited-tags global preferences in Disobedience (issue #29).
- The “Manage users” option is now more reliably greyed out if it will not work. This depends on a server change too, so it may still be wrong if a new Disobedience is used against an old server.
- A .desktop file is now shipped, making Disobedience visible as an application in freedesktop.org-compliant systems.
- Backups:
- The Debian package now includes a cronjob that backs up the database daily. See /etc/cron.d/disorder. You can put settings in /etc/default/disorder to turn this off or to control how long the backups are kept for.
- The disorder-dump -r option was broken.
- disorder-dump now gets permissions right automatically (issue #56).
- General:
- Unicode support has been upgraded to Unicode 6.0.0.
- Client programs no longer depend on libdb.
- The following have been removed:
- The allow, gap, lock, prefsync, restrict, trust configuration commands. If they still appear in your configuration file then the server will not start.
- The columns web interface option. It will generate an message in your error log but otherwise be ignored.
- The --wait-for-device player option. If it still appears in any player commands, they will not work.
- Support for automatically importing pre-3.0 users.
- Various minor bug fixes.
New in DisOrder 5.0.3 (May 18, 2012)
- Security: Local connections can no longer create and delete users unless they are properly authorized.
New in DisOrder 5.0.1 (Nov 18, 2010)
- The sense of the Control → Playing menu item was fixed.
New in DisOrder 4.3 (May 12, 2009)
- Disobedience:
- A bug was fixed in the calculation of how much of the track had played. This would lead to the counter showing incorrect values in various situations.
- Disobedience's icons have been changed to larger, more colorful ones. The SVG source is included if you want to fiddle with them.
- “Select all” is now no longer available in the choose tab. Instead there is a new “Select children” option which selects the file children of a single subdirectory.
- Server:
- The selection bias for newly added tracks was reduced by half. You can put it back to the old very neophilic value with “new_bias 900000” in the config file.
- It is now possible to ‘adopt’ randomly picked tracks. Disobedience and the command-line client support this but the web interface does not.
- The default track name parsing was modified to handle filenames generated by iTunes.
- Miscellaneous:
- disorderfm now preserves directory permissions.
- DisOrder is now licensed under GPL v3. The main goal is to prohibit Tivoization.
- The build system will now automatically cope with Fink's broken GTK+ packages. There are a number of improvements to the Debian packaging.
- DisOrder now builds on 64-bit Linux systems.
- There are various minor fixes.
