22 A new release in the current unstable 0.9.x series for upcoming GNOME 2.91.2
25 - Add support for destruction of media objects.
26 - Implement DLNA's 'auto-destroy' requirement.
27 - Set dlnaManaged attribute on DIDL-Lite objects. This along with some other
28 recent changes, allows us to pass the following DLNA CTT testcases:
32 - Sort Search and Browse results alphabetically (in descending order) by title
33 when no sorting criteria is specified by the client.
34 - Use URI when provided in item creation requests.
35 - There is no need to actually create the file for new items. The file will
36 automatically be created when/if contents are copied to the new empy item.
37 - Only allow pushing content to our own items that are place-holder (empty).
38 - Remove redundant call to Gst.init().
39 - Unique short commandline argument for disabling WMV transcoding.
40 - Make use of new gupnp-av APIs.
41 - Port to vala 0.11.1 and 0.11.2.
43 - Tracker keeps the size set by us originally even after the size changes. A
44 simple work-around is to just not set the size if its an empty file.
45 - Save title when adding item to store.
46 - Update container upon item addition.
48 - Export media even if metadata extraction fails for it.
51 - Fix service destination.
53 - Add Catalan (Valencian) translation.
54 - Add Thai translation.
55 - Update British English translation.
56 - Update Simplified Chinese translation.
57 - Many other non-functional and/or minor improvements and fixes.
59 Dependency-related changes:
61 - Require vala >= 0.11.1.
62 - Require gupnp-av & gupnp-vala >= 0.7.0.
67 A new release in the current unstable 0.9.x series for upcoming GNOME 2.91.1
70 - Don't assume user's config folder to be present everywhere. This assumption is
71 only true for modern (free)desktops and fails us badly on headless machines.
72 - Properly require automake 1.11.
73 - Custom rule to remove .stamp files to enforce rebuild from vala sources.
74 - Destroy the device list before quiting main loop. For some reason, the SSDP
75 'BYE' message doesn't get sent out for all devices before rygel exits. This
76 change makes sending of these packet a lot more (could actually be 100%)
79 - Make sure we only expose items that are either explicity marked to be shared
80 over UPnP network or not marked at all.
81 - Assume UPnP-created items to be shared. We create items on demand from UPnP
82 clients so its logical to assume that the client would want it to be
83 available on the UPnP network immediately after their creation.
84 - Some non-functional changes.
85 - URI escape metadata titles for IDs to correctly handle titles that have
86 charachters like ',' and ':' in them.
88 - Update Slovenian translation.
89 - Update Korean translation.
90 - Update Estonian translation.

104 This release marks the start of the new unstable release-cycle. This is also the
105 release cycle that will be integrated into GNOME 3. Changes since 0.7.8 that
106 were not present in subsequent stable (0.8.x) releases:
108 - Port from dbus-glib and GValue usage to GDBus and GVariant.
109 - Do not offer HTTP GET/HEAD URIs for place-holder (0-sized) items. This is
110 needed to avoid crashes when a newly created item is fetched before the client
111 pushes any contents to it.
112 - Hack XBox search for upnp:class to make it happy.
113 - Direct XBox's genre search to root container.
114 - Set item's size on creation.
115 - Always set VAPIDIR to ${datadir}/vala/vapi.
117 - Add 'Genre' hierarchy.
118 - Provide specific UPnP class for artist and album containers so that they
119 could be searched by this property. This fixes music browsing on XBox 360.
120 - Fix item ID creation logic.
121 - Optimize handling of invalid searches and in turn searches in general.
122 - Improved handling of search by "upnp:class".
123 - Unknown size means size of 0.
124 - Expose more information for music items:
130 - Proper default values for item metdata. This fixes the misterious "0" Album
132 - Handle requests for audio and image item types, not just music and pictures.
134 - Add Brazilian Portuguese translation.
135 - Add Catalan translation.
136 - Add Italian translation.
137 - Update Traditional Chinese translation (Hong Kong and Taiwan).

189 - If the client didn't pass a Range header in the request, don't append
190 Accept-Ranges and Content-Range headers to response. This fixes picture
191 browsing on XBox 360 (again).
192 - Don't put empty nodes in device description.
193 - Use '\r\n' instead of '\n' in XML files. Some UPnP devices in the market are
194 apparently unable to handle the unix EOL character so we better provide the
195 XML files in DOS format.
197 - Fix an assertion failure.
199 - Remove markup from a translatable string in preferences UI.
200 - Don't build translatable strings by substitution.
201 - Prefer the term 'folder' over 'directory' in translated strings.

263 - Add manpages for rygel and rygel.conf.
264 - Add support for search by album and artist.
265 - Don't advertize support for search by '@refID' as we don't really support
267 - Drop support for search by 'res' and 'res@protocolInfo'. Since we didn't
268 handle proxy and transcoding resources this gave wrong impression to the
269 clients and was causing rygel to fail DLNA test cases.
270 - Don't error out on empty search results.
271 - Error out on HTTP request for invalid transfer mode.
272 - Fix typo in serialization of "upnp:createClass".

354 - Distribute correct copy of scallable icons.
355 - Provide icons in DLNA standard sizes.
356 - Provide icons in JPEG format as well.

374 - Advertize byte-seek support for thumbnails.
375 - Correct algorithm to decide whether to seek or not.

555 A new release in the current unstable 0.7.x series for upcoming GNOME 2.31.4
558 - Implement DLNA's 'AnyContainer' upload extenstion. This allows clients to
559 upload items without having to specify target container. Currently it only
560 works for the Tracker backend.
561 - Report types of items that could be created/uploaded in a container and allow
562 clients to search containers by this property.
563 - Port last bits of C code to Vala. Now Rygel is completely written in Vala.
564 - Make Rygel build/work against both current stable and unstable Vala releases.
565 - Offer SD transcoding in EU profile. Seems certain Sony Bravia TVs only
566 support EU profiles. With this change, they should at least be able to use the
568 - Two more unit tests.
569 - Provide default configuration for WMV transcoding.
570 - Correctly handle boolean commandline option for disabling WMV transcoder.
572 - Port the external plugin to use the new D-Bus MediaServer specification:
573 http://live.gnome.org/Rygel/MediaServer2Spec. The new specification is meant
574 to be very generic and scale well to large media hierarchies.
575 - Make use of search API when implemented by the external application.
576 - Various other performance improvements.
578 - Improve resize behavior.
579 - Add missing bevel to URI tree view.
580 - Replace GtkVBox by GtkVButtonBox where appropriate.
582 - Added Punjabi Translation.
583 - Updated Norwegian bokmål translation.
584 - Updated Galician translations.

613 This release marks the start of the new unstable release-cycle. This is also the
614 release cycle that will be integrated into GNOME 2.31 (and 3.0 eventually).

618 - Add icon to preferences UI's desktop file.
619 - Correct error on missing 'Elements' node in 'CreateObject' action from client.

621 - Remove comments from description files as per DLNA requirement (7.2.30.1).
622 - Don't allow comments in DIDL-Lite from client either. This is to satisfy the
623 DLNA Confirmation Test Tool rather than DLNA itself.
624 - Don't advertize unimplemented actions.
625 - autogen.sh should create m4 directory if it doesn't exist already.
626 - Correct Icon path in preferences UI for uninstalled case.

641 - Optimize searches. Noticable speed improvements on XBox music browsing.
642 - Fix broken SQL query to get object by path.

817 for a commercial MediaServer but is also a big first step towards proper
819 - Simplify Browse action handling.
820 - Simplify MediaServer plugin implementation.
821 - Make sure autostart dir exists before attempting to write to it.
822 - Fix a potential crash that is trigered by MediaContainer reporting incorrect

848 Brief summary of changes since 0.4.2:
850 - Provide a gstreamer-based MediaRenderer plugin. This is mostly code stolen (
851 and heavily adapted) from gupnp-media-renderer except that it doesn't depend
852 on libowl-av and/or gtk+.
853 - More ease for MediaServer implementors.
854 - Better error handling.
855 - Make sure no message is suppressed until we know what level of console output
857 - Make use of vala's async support to simplify code quite a bit.
858 - Plugins should load xml files from source tree when built with
859 '--enable-uninstalled' configure flag.
860 - Build with no optimizations in debug mode.
861 - Use closure table to speed up object lookup and deletion.
862 - Add build option for SQL debugging.
863 - Workaround a crasher bug (#3774) in sqlite 3.6.12.
864 - Use vala's static client D-Bus syntax.
865 - Early ignorance of disabled plugins. This not only speeds-up startup a bit but
866 also rids us of redundant debug messages.
868 - Nicely handle unavailability of gstreamer's playbin(2) element.
869 - Fix a potential crasher.
871 - Use multidimensional arrays to deal with search results. This combined with
872 static client D-Bus syntax gives us quite a speed boost.
873 - Handle item creation error.
875 - Allow applications to provide custom thumbnails for items.
876 - Support pixel-aspect-ratio properties.
877 - All D-Bus operations are now done asynchronously.

903 Brief summary of changes since 0.4.1:
905 - Ability to specify verbosity of console messages by a number between 0 to 5.
906 - Be able to survive unavailability of D-Bus session bus. This should make it
907 easier to setup Rygel on headless NAS machines.
909 - Provide duration and date of media.
910 - Improved guessing for type (UPnP class) of media.
911 - Re-harvest metadata when a file/directory is modified.
912 - Speed-up browsing (twice as before).
914 - Fix enabling/disabling of widgets.
915 - Copy the desktop file from correct location.
916 - Mediathek and GstLaunch disabled by default in the user configuration.

937 A micro release that fixes some important issues found in the previous release:
939 - Update the Rygel D-Bus service paths everywhere.
940 - Ignore two ignorable errors.
941 - Initialize sensitivity of trancoding checkboxes to the same value as that of
942 "Transcoding Support" checkbox.
943 - Fix seeking in transcoded streams. Without this fix, the success of seeking
944 was based on pure luck.
945 - Correct headers in some files to reflect the correct license: LGPL.
946 - No need for DVB configuration anymore.
948 Bugs fixed in this release:

962 Brief summary of changes since 0.3:
964 - Rygel is no more just a MediaServer but rather a collection of DLNA (UPnP AV)
965 services (devices in UPnP speak).
966 - Port to new GUPnP APIs. The biggest advantage of that is that we now have
967 dynamic network support, i-e Rygel can attach/detach to/from a network
968 interface as it goes up/down.
969 - Support for time-based seeking in transcoded streams.
970 - Random tweaks to transcoding pipelines.
971 - Provide a DBus service providing two functionalities:
972 * Ability to tell Rygel to shutdown. Starting of Rygel is automatically
973 handled by D-Bus since a .service file is provided by Rygel.
974 * Ability to tell Rygel (MediaExport plugin actually) to (un)export URIs on
976 - Implement enabling/disabling of UPnP in the preferences.
977 - Configuration through command-line options.
978 - Use a .ini configuration file rather than gconf.
979 - Special default configuration for Maemo.
980 - Don't spam the user's config directory and instead keep the description files
981 into a separate subdirectory.
982 - `make clean` doesn't clean the generated C files anymore.
983 - Remove "all rights reserved" part from all copyright headers.
984 - Remove integrated DVB plugin as DVBDaemon now implements the external plugin
985 interface and hence dynamically glues to Rygel, just like PulseAudio.
986 - New classes to further ease the plugin implementation.
987 - (Un)pause the SoupMessage at the right time. This was causing a lot of delays
988 when playing media on Sony PS3.
989 - Bitrate is supposed to be in bytes/second. Not really but tell that to writers
990 of UPnP specification.
991 - Expose transcode formats in the GetProtocolInfo's source argument. This should
992 make Sony Bravia TVs happy.
993 - Transcoder URIs are now sorted according to their distance from the original
995 - Provide "contentFeatures.dlna.org" header in the HTTP responses.
996 - Provide DLNA transferMode header in the HTTP responses.
997 - Only advertise internal URIs on local loopback interface.
998 - Replace 'ip' config by 'interface' so users can bind Rygel to interfaces
1000 - Allow plugins to provide thumbnails.
1001 - Add thumbnails (if available) for each item if none provided by plugins. This
1002 works both on the desktop and Maemo.
1003 - Suppress all C compiler warnings by default. These warnings are mostly useless
1004 for us since almost all C code is generated.
1005 - Preference dialog is now more like a GNOME preferences dialog.
1006 - Provide .desktop file for preferences dialog.
1007 - Shave the build output.
1008 - GstLaunch: New plugin that exposes gstreamer pipelines described using
1009 familiar gst-launch syntax in the user configuration.
1011 - Nicer default title.
1012 - Better detection of Tracker availability. Apparently ubuntu folks think that
1013 providing a .service file is wrong.
1014 - Better titles for top-level folders.
1015 - More usable hierarchy: Browsing by artists, albums and tags.
1017 - Rename to MediaExport.
1018 - Nicer default title.
1019 - Use the new Rygel classes to extract, export and save media metadata.
1020 - notify about updates to containers.
1021 - Skip files/folders starting with '.'.
1022 - Avoid crash if unknown file is found.
1023 - Delete gone directories on new start.
1024 - React on deletion of files.
1025 - Add recursive file monitoring.
1026 - Provide simple and easy options to add and remove files and folders from the
1029 - actually use 'DLNAProfile' property.
1030 - Don't load the plugin more than once.
1031 - Utilise optional MediaItem properties.
1032 - Fetch items on demand.
1033 - Fix critical warnings.
1035 - Fix crash if no config is available.

1046 584649 - Folder plugin should not export dot files and directories
1047 586108 - ID3 information not exported on mp3 files
1048 588034 - Bad durations for audio video files with media export plugin
1049 585986 - Some copyright headers claim "all rights reserved"
1050 585989 - Running "make clean" should leave generated C files in place.
1051 586134 - Tracker plugin fails if org.freedesktop.Tracker can't be activated,
1052 even if tracker is already running
1053 586243 - GStreamer 0.10.23 required for correct operation of transcoder
1054 587651 - Support for some MediaItem properties missing
1055 587855 - HTTP Error responses not sent
1056 587866 - No way to notify about new sub-containers
1057 588030 - rygel-preferences crashes if user's config file is missing
1058 588162 - Support seeking in transcoded content
1059 589955 - dc:creator never included in DIDL output
1060 589956 - git ignore rules
1061 589974 - Set the bitrate for transcoded resources correctly.
1062 589977 - Rygel not recognised by Sony Bravia televisions
1063 590643 - refactor HTTP request handling code
1064 590702 - Rygel should provide thumbnails for items
1065 591580 - not compatible with Samsung UE46B7070
1066 593228 - [plugin] new gstlaunch plugin

1079 Brief summary of changes since 0.2.2:
1081 - Transcoding from any format (that gstreamer's decodebin2 can handle) to mp3,
1082 linear PCM and mpeg transport stream containing mpeg 2 video and mp2 audio.
1083 - Plugin API to deal with user preferences.
1084 - User preferences UI: rygel-preferences.
1086 * Folder: Recursively exports folders specified in the user preferences.
1087 * ZDFMediathek: Exports online media from 2nd German TV station.
1088 * External: Exports media hierarchies provided by external applications
1089 through implementation of this spec:
1090 http://live.gnome.org/Rygel/MediaServer. The first application
1091 that utilizes this feature is PulseAudio.
1092 - Drop xbox support. It didn't work anyway and we better concentrate on
1093 implementing standard stuff that it at least worthy of being called "UPnP" (
1095 - Tracker and DVB plugins are only loaded if their corresponding services are
1097 - Export of duration for music and video items from Tracker.
1098 - Use HTTP EOF encoding rather the CHUNKED for live streams.
1099 - Ability to build rygel plugins outside it's source tree.
1100 - HTTP proxying only if needed.
1101 - Now that gupnp-av does DLNA profile guessing for us, no need to lie about
1102 DLNA profile anymore.

1104 - HTTServer is now internal API.
1105 - Use git-version-gen to generate package version.

1107 - Passive, asynchronous plugin loading. A side-effect of which is that modules
1108 can now load more than one plugin.
1109 - Differentiate between name and title of the plugin.
1110 - Plugins can now dynamically change their availability.
1111 - Add API to get/list plugins.
1112 - Re-use existing description from user's home directory. This not only speeds
1113 the start-up but also obsoletes the necessity to keep immutable data (e.g UDN)
1114 in user preferences.
1115 - Provide gconf schemas.
1116 - Lots of other improvements and bug fixes.
1118 Dependency-related changes:

1148 - Use the new (0.6.9) Tracker API.
1149 - Priority of gio-based streams are based on requested DLNA transfer mode.
1150 - GIO-based/like asynchronous plugin API.
1151 - Adapt to latest changes in gupnp-vala API.
1152 - Serialization of media objects isn't done by media objects themselve
1153 anymore, but by a new separate class, Rygel.DIDLLiteWriter.
1154 - Internal API is marked 'internal' so it doesn't get to our (Vala) API.
1155 - MediaObject now derives from GLib.Object.
1156 - Generic AsyncResult implementation, SimpleAsyncResult.
1157 - StateMachine interface that all state machines classes implement.
1158 - Visible performance improvements in Tracker plugin by proper use of Tracker
1160 - Use Filename.to_string() and therefore make Bastien happy.
1161 - Require lastest version (0.1.5) of libgee to use List.slice().
1162 - Don't limit the number of objects returned to a client, let it decide
1164 - Proper handling of update notification to the client by use of a very simple
1165 bubble-up mechanism for containers to signal updates.
1166 - Decrease needed gconf version to 2.16.
1167 - Set application name and therefore make Lennart happy.
1168 - Require latest version of vala (0.5.7) and gupnp-vala (0.5.3).
1169 - Allow multiple URIs for each media items.
1170 - Response for seekable media request is now sent buffer by buffer so the whole
1171 file is not put into memory.
1172 - Some improvements to build system.
1173 - Lots of other improvements and bugfixes.
1178 The major change after last release (as gupnp-media-server) is the introduction
1179 of a simple yet powerful plugin-based architecture/api: Every plugin:
1180 - is loaded into a separate MediaServer instance.
1181 - can implement any kind and number of resources (currently only services).
1182 - can export an icon file.
1183 - inherit it's ContentDirectory implementation from a base class that does most
1184 of the UPnP-related work. More improvements on this planned for next release.
1185 - use an intuitive API to easily export media from URIs and live GStreamer
1186 source elements over HTTP.
1190 - Relicense under LGPL to allow proprietary plugins and ease of moving code
1191 from/to gupnp libraries.
1192 - DVB Daemon integration though a plugin. Now you can watch live channels from
1193 your PC on your PS3 for example.
1194 - Test plugin that exports one audio and video item, streaming contents from
1195 GStreamer's audiotestsrc and videotestsrc elements respectively.
1196 - Better interoperability with Sony playstation 3.
1197 - Announce unavailability to UPnP world on exit.
1198 - Loads of other improvements.
