4 This release marks the start of the new unstable release-cycle. This is also the
5 release cycle that will be integrated into GNOME 3. Changes since 0.7.8 that
6 were not present in subsequent stable (0.8.x) releases:
8 - Port from dbus-glib and GValue usage to GDBus and GVariant.
9 - Do not offer HTTP GET/HEAD URIs for place-holder (0-sized) items. This is
10 needed to avoid crashes when a newly created item is fetched before the client
11 pushes any contents to it.
12 - Hack XBox search for upnp:class to make it happy.
13 - Direct XBox's genre search to root container.
14 - Set item's size on creation.
15 - Always set VAPIDIR to ${datadir}/vala/vapi.
17 - Add 'Genre' hierarchy.
18 - Provide specific UPnP class for artist and album containers so that they
19 could be searched by this property. This fixes music browsing on XBox 360.
20 - Fix item ID creation logic.
21 - Optimize handling of invalid searches and in turn searches in general.
22 - Improved handling of search by "upnp:class".
23 - Unknown size means size of 0.
24 - Expose more information for music items:
30 - Proper default values for item metdata. This fixes the misterious "0" Album
32 - Handle requests for audio and image item types, not just music and pictures.
34 - Add Brazilian Portuguese translation.
35 - Add Catalan translation.
36 - Add Italian translation.
37 - Update Traditional Chinese translation (Hong Kong and Taiwan).
38 - Update simplified Chinese translation.

86 A new release in the current unstable 0.7.x series for upcoming GNOME 2.31.92
89 - If the client didn't pass a Range header in the request, don't append

91 browsing on XBox 360 (again).
92 - Don't put empty nodes in device description.
93 - Use '\r\n' instead of '\n' in XML files. Some UPnP devices in the market are

95 XML files in DOS format.
97 - Fix an assertion failure.

163 - Add manpages for rygel and rygel.conf.
164 - Add support for search by album and artist.
165 - Don't advertize support for search by '@refID' as we don't really support

274 - Advertize byte-seek support for thumbnails.
275 - Correct algorithm to decide whether to seek or not.

679 The first release in the unstable 0.5.x series. Changes since 0.4.6 that were
680 not provided by any subsequent 0.4.x releases:
682 - New URI generation scheme that avoids problematic characters which makes some
683 crappy renderers choke.
684 - Allow creation of new media items and tranfering data into existing ones (
685 upload). This is relavent to, and works for both MediaExport and Tracker.
686 - Implement GetTransferProgress and StopTransferResource actions.
688 - support for connection stalling.
689 - live response to be sender-paced.
690 - Rewrite SearchCriteria parser to make it more reliable.
692 - Port to the Tracker 0.7 APIs.
693 - Provide richer & more intuitive media hierarchy.
694 - Signal container update on changes to subjects.
695 - Act on config options allowing user to define which categories to share.
696 - Support for search by URI.
697 - Descriptive IDs for containers.
699 - Implement custom search that translates to an SQLite query and therefore
700 performs much faster than before.
701 - Print message on console when harvesting is done.
702 - Don't modify DB if harvester was cancelled.
703 - Cancel harvester before starting new one.
704 - Lots of non-functional improvements and fixes.

714 Brief summary of changes since 0.4.4:
716 - Implement optional UPnP Search action. This is not only a must have feature
717 for a commercial MediaServer but is also a big first step towards proper
719 - Simplify Browse action handling.
720 - Simplify MediaServer plugin implementation.
721 - Make sure autostart dir exists before attempting to write to it.
722 - Fix a potential crash that is trigered by MediaContainer reporting incorrect
723 (higher) number of children.
725 - Work around (vala) bug#602003.
726 - Optimizations and code clean-ups.
728 - Provide an efficient Search implementation using Tracker's search API.

748 Brief summary of changes since 0.4.2:
750 - Provide a gstreamer-based MediaRenderer plugin. This is mostly code stolen (
751 and heavily adapted) from gupnp-media-renderer except that it doesn't depend
752 on libowl-av and/or gtk+.
753 - More ease for MediaServer implementors.
754 - Better error handling.
755 - Make sure no message is suppressed until we know what level of console output
757 - Make use of vala's async support to simplify code quite a bit.
758 - Plugins should load xml files from source tree when built with
759 '--enable-uninstalled' configure flag.
760 - Build with no optimizations in debug mode.
761 - Use closure table to speed up object lookup and deletion.
762 - Add build option for SQL debugging.
763 - Workaround a crasher bug (#3774) in sqlite 3.6.12.
764 - Use vala's static client D-Bus syntax.
765 - Early ignorance of disabled plugins. This not only speeds-up startup a bit but
766 also rids us of redundant debug messages.
768 - Nicely handle unavailability of gstreamer's playbin(2) element.
769 - Fix a potential crasher.
771 - Use multidimensional arrays to deal with search results. This combined with
772 static client D-Bus syntax gives us quite a speed boost.
773 - Handle item creation error.
775 - Allow applications to provide custom thumbnails for items.
776 - Support pixel-aspect-ratio properties.
777 - All D-Bus operations are now done asynchronously.
778 - Make use of plugin icon if provided.
779 - Move magic string substitution to core so other plugins can benefit from it.
780 - Lots of other improvements and bug fixes.
782 Dependency-related changes:
784 - Require and adapt to libgee >= 0.5.
785 - Require and adapt to valac >= 0.7.8.
787 Bugs fixed in this release:
789 597276 - Rygel crash on startup
790 587649 - thumbnails not published for external media servers
791 589959 - External plugin should query media servers on demand

803 Brief summary of changes since 0.4.1:
805 - Ability to specify verbosity of console messages by a number between 0 to 5.
806 - Be able to survive unavailability of D-Bus session bus. This should make it
807 easier to setup Rygel on headless NAS machines.
809 - Provide duration and date of media.
810 - Improved guessing for type (UPnP class) of media.
811 - Re-harvest metadata when a file/directory is modified.
812 - Speed-up browsing (twice as before).
814 - Fix enabling/disabling of widgets.
815 - Copy the desktop file from correct location.
816 - Mediathek and GstLaunch disabled by default in the user configuration.
817 - Add GstLaunch to maemo configuration (disabled by default though).
818 - Put dbus-glib-1 to the list of vala API dependencies.
820 - Be more verbose at the end of configure.
822 Bugs fixed in this release:
824 596500 - Mpeg TS video files are mistaken for audio files
825 596213 - Wrong state for checkboxes
826 596327 - Enables some weird plugins by default

837 A micro release that fixes some important issues found in the previous release:
839 - Update the Rygel D-Bus service paths everywhere.
840 - Ignore two ignorable errors.
841 - Initialize sensitivity of trancoding checkboxes to the same value as that of
842 "Transcoding Support" checkbox.
843 - Fix seeking in transcoded streams. Without this fix, the success of seeking
844 was based on pure luck.
845 - Correct headers in some files to reflect the correct license: LGPL.
846 - No need for DVB configuration anymore.
848 Bugs fixed in this release:
850 596211 - Error exiting the prefs

862 Brief summary of changes since 0.3:
864 - Rygel is no more just a MediaServer but rather a collection of DLNA (UPnP AV)
865 services (devices in UPnP speak).
866 - Port to new GUPnP APIs. The biggest advantage of that is that we now have
867 dynamic network support, i-e Rygel can attach/detach to/from a network
868 interface as it goes up/down.
869 - Support for time-based seeking in transcoded streams.
870 - Random tweaks to transcoding pipelines.
871 - Provide a DBus service providing two functionalities:
872 * Ability to tell Rygel to shutdown. Starting of Rygel is automatically
873 handled by D-Bus since a .service file is provided by Rygel.
874 * Ability to tell Rygel (MediaExport plugin actually) to (un)export URIs on
876 - Implement enabling/disabling of UPnP in the preferences.
877 - Configuration through command-line options.
878 - Use a .ini configuration file rather than gconf.
879 - Special default configuration for Maemo.
880 - Don't spam the user's config directory and instead keep the description files
881 into a separate subdirectory.
882 - `make clean` doesn't clean the generated C files anymore.
883 - Remove "all rights reserved" part from all copyright headers.
884 - Remove integrated DVB plugin as DVBDaemon now implements the external plugin
885 interface and hence dynamically glues to Rygel, just like PulseAudio.
886 - New classes to further ease the plugin implementation.
887 - (Un)pause the SoupMessage at the right time. This was causing a lot of delays
888 when playing media on Sony PS3.
889 - Bitrate is supposed to be in bytes/second. Not really but tell that to writers
890 of UPnP specification.
891 - Expose transcode formats in the GetProtocolInfo's source argument. This should
892 make Sony Bravia TVs happy.
893 - Transcoder URIs are now sorted according to their distance from the original
895 - Provide "contentFeatures.dlna.org" header in the HTTP responses.
896 - Provide DLNA transferMode header in the HTTP responses.
897 - Only advertise internal URIs on local loopback interface.
898 - Replace 'ip' config by 'interface' so users can bind Rygel to interfaces
900 - Allow plugins to provide thumbnails.
901 - Add thumbnails (if available) for each item if none provided by plugins. This
902 works both on the desktop and Maemo.
903 - Suppress all C compiler warnings by default. These warnings are mostly useless
904 for us since almost all C code is generated.
905 - Preference dialog is now more like a GNOME preferences dialog.
906 - Provide .desktop file for preferences dialog.
907 - Shave the build output.
908 - GstLaunch: New plugin that exposes gstreamer pipelines described using
909 familiar gst-launch syntax in the user configuration.
911 - Nicer default title.
912 - Better detection of Tracker availability. Apparently ubuntu folks think that
913 providing a .service file is wrong.
914 - Better titles for top-level folders.
915 - More usable hierarchy: Browsing by artists, albums and tags.
917 - Rename to MediaExport.
918 - Nicer default title.
919 - Use the new Rygel classes to extract, export and save media metadata.
920 - notify about updates to containers.
921 - Skip files/folders starting with '.'.
922 - Avoid crash if unknown file is found.
923 - Delete gone directories on new start.
924 - React on deletion of files.
925 - Add recursive file monitoring.
926 - Provide simple and easy options to add and remove files and folders from the
929 - actually use 'DLNAProfile' property.
930 - Don't load the plugin more than once.
931 - Utilise optional MediaItem properties.
932 - Fetch items on demand.
933 - Fix critical warnings.
935 - Fix crash if no config is available.
937 Dependency-related changes:
939 - Require gupnp >= 0.13
940 - Require gupnp-av >= 0.5

942 - Require libgee >= 0.3.0
944 Bugs fixed in this release:
946 584649 - Folder plugin should not export dot files and directories
947 586108 - ID3 information not exported on mp3 files
948 588034 - Bad durations for audio video files with media export plugin
949 585986 - Some copyright headers claim "all rights reserved"
950 585989 - Running "make clean" should leave generated C files in place.
951 586134 - Tracker plugin fails if org.freedesktop.Tracker can't be activated,
952 even if tracker is already running
953 586243 - GStreamer 0.10.23 required for correct operation of transcoder
954 587651 - Support for some MediaItem properties missing
955 587855 - HTTP Error responses not sent
956 587866 - No way to notify about new sub-containers
957 588030 - rygel-preferences crashes if user's config file is missing
958 588162 - Support seeking in transcoded content
959 589955 - dc:creator never included in DIDL output
960 589956 - git ignore rules
961 589974 - Set the bitrate for transcoded resources correctly.
962 589977 - Rygel not recognised by Sony Bravia televisions
963 590643 - refactor HTTP request handling code
964 590702 - Rygel should provide thumbnails for items
965 591580 - not compatible with Samsung UE46B7070
966 593228 - [plugin] new gstlaunch plugin

979 Brief summary of changes since 0.2.2:
981 - Transcoding from any format (that gstreamer's decodebin2 can handle) to mp3,
982 linear PCM and mpeg transport stream containing mpeg 2 video and mp2 audio.
983 - Plugin API to deal with user preferences.
984 - User preferences UI: rygel-preferences.
986 * Folder: Recursively exports folders specified in the user preferences.
987 * ZDFMediathek: Exports online media from 2nd German TV station.
988 * External: Exports media hierarchies provided by external applications
989 through implementation of this spec:
990 http://live.gnome.org/Rygel/MediaServer. The first application
991 that utilizes this feature is PulseAudio.
992 - Drop xbox support. It didn't work anyway and we better concentrate on
993 implementing standard stuff that it at least worthy of being called "UPnP" (
995 - Tracker and DVB plugins are only loaded if their corresponding services are
997 - Export of duration for music and video items from Tracker.
998 - Use HTTP EOF encoding rather the CHUNKED for live streams.
999 - Ability to build rygel plugins outside it's source tree.
1000 - HTTP proxying only if needed.
1001 - Now that gupnp-av does DLNA profile guessing for us, no need to lie about
1002 DLNA profile anymore.
1003 - Add a summary after configure.
1004 - HTTServer is now internal API.
1005 - Use git-version-gen to generate package version.

1008 can now load more than one plugin.
1009 - Differentiate between name and title of the plugin.
1010 - Plugins can now dynamically change their availability.
1011 - Add API to get/list plugins.
1012 - Re-use existing description from user's home directory. This not only speeds
1013 the start-up but also obsoletes the necessity to keep immutable data (e.g UDN)
1014 in user preferences.
1015 - Provide gconf schemas.
1016 - Lots of other improvements and bug fixes.
1018 Dependency-related changes:
1020 - Explicitly require and link to libsoup-2.4 >= 2.26.0.
1021 - Don't require Vala (and bindings) in distribution tarball.

1048 - Use the new (0.6.9) Tracker API.
1049 - Priority of gio-based streams are based on requested DLNA transfer mode.
1050 - GIO-based/like asynchronous plugin API.
1051 - Adapt to latest changes in gupnp-vala API.
1052 - Serialization of media objects isn't done by media objects themselve
1053 anymore, but by a new separate class, Rygel.DIDLLiteWriter.
1054 - Internal API is marked 'internal' so it doesn't get to our (Vala) API.
1055 - MediaObject now derives from GLib.Object.
1056 - Generic AsyncResult implementation, SimpleAsyncResult.
1057 - StateMachine interface that all state machines classes implement.
1058 - Visible performance improvements in Tracker plugin by proper use of Tracker
1060 - Use Filename.to_string() and therefore make Bastien happy.
1061 - Require lastest version (0.1.5) of libgee to use List.slice().
1062 - Don't limit the number of objects returned to a client, let it decide
1064 - Proper handling of update notification to the client by use of a very simple
1065 bubble-up mechanism for containers to signal updates.
1066 - Decrease needed gconf version to 2.16.
1067 - Set application name and therefore make Lennart happy.
1068 - Require latest version of vala (0.5.7) and gupnp-vala (0.5.3).
1069 - Allow multiple URIs for each media items.
1070 - Response for seekable media request is now sent buffer by buffer so the whole
1071 file is not put into memory.
1072 - Some improvements to build system.
1073 - Lots of other improvements and bugfixes.
1078 The major change after last release (as gupnp-media-server) is the introduction
1079 of a simple yet powerful plugin-based architecture/api: Every plugin:
1080 - is loaded into a separate MediaServer instance.
1081 - can implement any kind and number of resources (currently only services).
1082 - can export an icon file.
1083 - inherit it's ContentDirectory implementation from a base class that does most
1084 of the UPnP-related work. More improvements on this planned for next release.
1085 - use an intuitive API to easily export media from URIs and live GStreamer
1086 source elements over HTTP.
1090 - Relicense under LGPL to allow proprietary plugins and ease of moving code
1091 from/to gupnp libraries.
1092 - DVB Daemon integration though a plugin. Now you can watch live channels from
1093 your PC on your PS3 for example.
1094 - Test plugin that exports one audio and video item, streaming contents from
1095 GStreamer's audiotestsrc and videotestsrc elements respectively.
1096 - Better interoperability with Sony playstation 3.
1097 - Announce unavailability to UPnP world on exit.
1098 - Loads of other improvements.
