4335 | 1 Audacious 1.5.0 (2008-03-13) |
2 | |
3 Enhancements: | |
4 * Everything between 1.4.1 and 1.4.7. (duh) | |
5 * Ability to disable GTK+ theme suggestions provided by skins. | |
6 * Entirely from scratch audio engine (libSAD) which supports: | |
7 - 16-bit audio | |
8 - 24-bit audio | |
9 - 32-bit audio | |
10 - IEEE floating point audio | |
11 - 28-bit fractional audio | |
12 - many weird obscure "audiophile" formats | |
13 and: | |
14 - high quality dithering/conversion/resampling to produce as | |
15 high quality audio as possible for your sound system. | |
16 - bit-exact passthrough of decoded audio (compare to | |
17 "kernel streaming" in foobar2000) | |
18 As a result, support for oldschool 8-bit soundcards has been | |
19 _dropped_. It's 2008, they haven't made such hardware since the | |
20 early 90's. | |
21 Additionally, codecs now send audio to audacious using their | |
22 native format; removing the need for costly implementation-specific | |
23 conversion functionality. | |
24 * New unified metadata editing for most formats. Ability to see | |
25 "raw metadata"; the metadata which can be used in tuplez scripts. | |
26 * Removal of the XMMS audio conversion engine in it's entirety. | |
27 * Support for "virtual plugins"; the ability for a single module to | |
28 export up to thousands of plugins. This will be used more in Audacious2. | |
29 * Many adjustments to the winamp2 skinengine. | |
30 * Faster jump-to-file. | |
31 * Implement support for session management. | |
32 | |
33 Bugfixes: | |
34 * playlist_compare_artist(): Avoid NULL dereferences. | |
35 (Bugzilla #172, Bugzilla #168, Bugzilla #35). | |
36 * Tons of memory leaks fixed. | |
37 | |
38 Notes from us (the audacious developers): | |
39 This is the last branch of Audacious that will support in Winamp2 skins | |
40 in core. We are working on a new default UI for Audacious2 which provides | |
41 a more metadata rich environment (while still be lightweight and fast). | |
42 However, it is planned to implement support for Winamp2 skins as a plugin in | |
43 the next version. No promises, though. | |
44 | |
45 It has been fun being seen as "rescuing XMMS" by the community; but this | |
46 has never been our goal. Our goal has always been to develop the best | |
47 possible player on Linux. This means that we are audiophiles, and we want | |
48 our audio to sound as nice as possible. This has been our primary goal; | |
49 not maintaining a Winamp2 skinned player. When we determined that the current | |
50 UI implementation was getting in our way, we decided to rip it out. As such, | |
51 the future of Winamp2 skins in Audacious is undefined, but they will probably | |
52 be supported via a plugin. | |

2602 | 98 Audacious 1.3.0 (2007-03-02) |

100 Enhancements | |
101 * The playlist code has been rewritten using conditional variables, | |
102 which has resulted in speed improvements for the playlist code overall. | |
103 * The behaviour for detecting filemagic has been redone and is now more | |
104 scalable. | |
105 * DoubleSize support has been improved significantly. | |
106 * Race conditions in produce_audio() have been corrected. | |
107 * The playlist editor is now properly drawn in shaded mode. | |
108 * g_utf8_validate has been replaced with a more strict utf8 validator, | |
109 which solves the encapsulated UTF-8 phenomenon properly. | |
110 * The controlsocket code no longer uses the stack in an improper manner. | |
111 * Behaviour regarding conversion of %20 in the playlist has been corrected. | |
112 * Window decorations can now be enabled in preferences. | |
113 * The translation templates have been simplified. | |
114 * Support for translating plugins has been re-added. | |
115 * The Jump-to-File code has been rewritten and now searches using | |
116 regular expressions. In addition, the search is done without GTK | |
117 queueing redraws for each entry, which has resulted in interface | |
118 speedups. | |
119 * The overall UI code has been reworked significantly and should be of | |
120 better quality. Notable enhancements include support for UIManager xml | |
121 file declarations. | |
122 * A facility for searching and selecting/acting upon entries in the | |
123 playlist has been added. | |
124 * Support for multiple playlists has been added, and a playlist manager | |
125 has been added to manage them. | |
126 * Audacious now uses libmcs to store it's settings, which allows for | |
127 tighter desktop environment integration. | |
128 * Audacious now supports the XDG BASEDIR standard. | |
129 * A lot of XMMS and BMP code has been either removed or rewritten so | |
130 that it is less confusing. This should allow for easier maintainability | |
131 in the future. | |
132 * Debugging tools have been added for tracking memory allocation and freeing. | |
133 * A safe signaling implementation has been added. | |
134 * A voiceprint visualizer mode has been added. | |
135 * Support for changing the tint in the graphics of skins has been added. | |
136 * InputPlugins now use an InputPlayback context to track activity | |
137 instead of blindly pushing data down a potentially undefined pipeline. | |
138 * Audacious now uses GOption to parse the commandline. | |
2308 | 139 |
