19 ------------ |
4335 | 20 * Everything between 1.4.1 and 1.4.7. (duh) |
21 * Ability to disable GTK+ theme suggestions provided by skins. | |
22 * Entirely from scratch audio engine (libSAD) which supports: | |
23 - 16-bit audio | |
24 - 24-bit audio | |
25 - 32-bit audio | |
26 - IEEE floating point audio | |
27 - 28-bit fractional audio | |
28 - many weird obscure "audiophile" formats | |
29 and: | |
30 - high quality dithering/conversion/resampling to produce as | |
31 high quality audio as possible for your sound system. | |
32 - bit-exact passthrough of decoded audio (compare to | |
33 "kernel streaming" in foobar2000) | |
34 As a result, support for oldschool 8-bit soundcards has been | |
35 _dropped_. It's 2008, they haven't made such hardware since the | |
36 early 90's. | |
37 Additionally, codecs now send audio to audacious using their | |
38 native format; removing the need for costly implementation-specific | |
39 conversion functionality. | |
40 * New unified metadata editing for most formats. Ability to see | |
41 "raw metadata"; the metadata which can be used in tuplez scripts. | |
42 * Removal of the XMMS audio conversion engine in it's entirety. | |
43 * Support for "virtual plugins"; the ability for a single module to | |
44 export up to thousands of plugins. This will be used more in Audacious2. | |
45 * Many adjustments to the winamp2 skinengine. | |
46 * Faster jump-to-file. | |
47 * Implement support for session management. | |

110 ------------ |
2573 | 111 * The playlist code has been rewritten using conditional variables, |
112 which has resulted in speed improvements for the playlist code overall. | |
113 * The behaviour for detecting filemagic has been redone and is now more | |
114 scalable. | |
115 * DoubleSize support has been improved significantly. | |
116 * Race conditions in produce_audio() have been corrected. | |
117 * The playlist editor is now properly drawn in shaded mode. | |
118 * g_utf8_validate has been replaced with a more strict utf8 validator, | |
119 which solves the encapsulated UTF-8 phenomenon properly. | |
120 * The controlsocket code no longer uses the stack in an improper manner. | |
121 * Behaviour regarding conversion of %20 in the playlist has been corrected. | |
122 * Window decorations can now be enabled in preferences. | |
123 * The translation templates have been simplified. | |
124 * Support for translating plugins has been re-added. | |
125 * The Jump-to-File code has been rewritten and now searches using | |
126 regular expressions. In addition, the search is done without GTK | |
127 queueing redraws for each entry, which has resulted in interface | |
128 speedups. | |
129 * The overall UI code has been reworked significantly and should be of | |
130 better quality. Notable enhancements include support for UIManager xml | |
131 file declarations. | |
132 * A facility for searching and selecting/acting upon entries in the | |
133 playlist has been added. | |
134 * Support for multiple playlists has been added, and a playlist manager | |
135 has been added to manage them. | |
136 * Audacious now uses libmcs to store it's settings, which allows for | |
137 tighter desktop environment integration. | |
138 * Audacious now supports the XDG BASEDIR standard. | |
139 * A lot of XMMS and BMP code has been either removed or rewritten so | |
140 that it is less confusing. This should allow for easier maintainability | |
141 in the future. | |
142 * Debugging tools have been added for tracking memory allocation and freeing. | |
143 * A safe signaling implementation has been added. | |
144 * A voiceprint visualizer mode has been added. | |
145 * Support for changing the tint in the graphics of skins has been added. | |
146 * InputPlugins now use an InputPlayback context to track activity | |
147 instead of blindly pushing data down a potentially undefined pipeline. | |
148 * Audacious now uses GOption to parse the commandline. | |
