Aqualung Changelog

What's new in Aqualung 0.9 Beta 9.1

Feb 11, 2008
  • Playlist code refactoring for improved performance. Please note that incompatible changes have been made to the playlist format: this means that your old playlists won't be parsed, you'll have to re-create them. (NOTE: Music Store contents are unaffected. If we ever change the Music Store format in a backward-incompatible way, we will provide tools to migrate your precious store data.)
  • Fix threading problems that caused random crashes for some users.
  • Fix lurking bug that sometimes resulted in getting stuck at the beginning of a track when Sinc interpolator sample rate converters were used.
  • Modified the way of opening ALSA output to achieve non-exclusive driver access.
  • New, more versatile title string generating templates. Make sure to check the documentation.
  • Added option to periodically save playlist.
  • Several fixes concerning command line file and playlist loading, esp. with the -L flag.
  • Better metadata handling for external files in playlist.
  • Increment CDDB revision number on resubmitting an existing disc. This is essential for correcting existing CDDB entries, otherwise the CDDB server rejects the submission. The latest CVS version from http://libcddb.sf.net is required for this to work (Aqualung-Win32 is built with this version).
  • OpenBSD-related portability fixes. Aqualung should now compile cleanly and be fully functional OOTB on OpenBSD 4.2.
  • Updated German, Hungarian and Italian translations. Added Russian translation.

New in Aqualung 0.9 Beta 8 (Jul 9, 2007)

  • Internet radio streams using Ogg Vorbis and MP3 audio encoding are supported.
  • Added tabbed playlist support, very similar in concept to the tabbed browsing feature of Firefox.
