GNUpod 0.93 - codename 'Shorthorn'
Summary:
--------
- Reading MusicMatch files should work (again)
- gnupod_addsong.pl can add WAVE files
- Parsing large iTunesDB files should be faster
(-> we skip the MainPlayList)
Details:
--------
iTunesDB.pm and co:
* Can read and write Playlist-Elements without child
tunes2pod.pl couldn't read files written by
(newer) MusicMatch releases.. this should fix the issue :)
* Don't parse MasterPlaylists, do a seek()
-> Speeds up parsing
* Read and Write SamplingRate (Helps audible.com files? ..no)
FileMagic.pm
* Fixed (Again?) ID3 reading (Charset handling still broken?!)
* Read SamplingRate for MP3 Files
XMLhelper.pm
* Output is sorted
** OLD STUFF **
GNUpod 0.92 - codename 'frau beyersdorf'
-> This version supports SmartPlaylists (BETA!)
iTunesDB.pm:
* Fixed the very old 'gnupod versus iTunes' bug
-> iTunes shouldn't try to 'resort' playlist items anymore
(Note: iTunes will ALWAYS re-sort the playlists.. that's
a 'feature' of iTunes)
* Added 'eq syntax check', you can use (since 0.90)
'eq="#!#NUMBER#!#' to specify the EQ-Setting per song.
mktunes.pl will now check if this syntax is correct.
(You'll see a warning if it failed)
* Fixed get_string() to handle null-size strings correct
* Changed some internal things (using hrefs.. etc)
* Misc SPL-Related code
XMLhelper.pm:
* Misc cleanups
* Added SPL-Support
* Added check for playlist duplicates
* Fixed escape bug for <playlist name=..
FileMagic.pm
* Fixed (?) ID3v2 reading
tunes2pod.pl:
* Added paranoia checks (stricter parsing)
* Added SPL-Read code (BETA!)
mktunes.pl
* Added SPL-Write support
* regex-matches are sorted by id
gnupod_addsong.pl:
* duplicate-checker displayed the
wrong number of the dup, works again
GNUpod 0.91
Much changed from 0.90 to 0.91.
I removed XML::Simple and use (again)
XML::Parser (Event based GNUpod.. .. again)
0.91 needs much less memory...
I hope i didn't break anything.. but...
gnupod_search.pl:
* -d doesn't delete all songs anymore.. hups..
* Playlist-Cleanup works now.. (another stupid bug.. :-/)
* Added '--title' switch to usage
gnupod_addsong.pl:
* Can read from STDIN again (use 'gnupod_addsong.pl -')
(I forgot this feature ;) )
gnupod_INIT.pl
* Added '--france' switch (Limit volume to 100 db for
1.x Firmware)
mktunes.pl
* New Playlist-Code.. MUCH faster now
(Wow.. again? no.. the code of 0.90 was
VERY slow with many files (~3000) and more
than ~15 big playlists)
* Added '--volume' switch: Adjust the volume on the iPod!
Use something like 'mktunes.pl --volume 70' to boost
the volume by 70% (same as volume="70" in the GNUtunesDB)
XMLhelper.pm
* Fixed the cleandoc() bug
* Dropped XML::Simple.. it's stupid :-/
..and..
Changed 'Win' to 'Windows/W32/etc'
GNUpod 0.90
- This is a *COMPLETE* rewrite of GNUpod, expect new bugs
and some new features ;)
Highlights:
- Faster (?)
- REAL Unicode Support (Perl 5.8 and 5.6, .. i hope!)
- Cleaner Code (?)
- Support for elements like 'playcount / volume .. etc' (Read the docs)
This release isn't perfect but it works nice and i think its good
enough to be released :)
No Support for AAC (mp4) and SPL (SmartPlayLists) in this release,
but AAC Support will be added soon (GNUpod 0.91?) and adding
SPL Support is possible ;)
gnuPod 0.29-rc1
- Unicode Support!!
Use an UNICODE Texteditor to edit the GNUtunesDB..
(Like 'yudit' or the gnome2 texteditor)
Your old latin1 GNUtunesDB will get converted to an
UTF8 version after running tunes2pod.pl/gnupod_addsong.pl or
gnupod_delete.pl
UTF8 Support isn't testet very well, and gnuPod 0.28 maybe more
Stable for you.. but as you can see: somebody is working on it ;)
- 'Rebuild' mode does now *never* check for duplicates
- gnupod_delete doesn't kill some playlists if you tried to
kill ID 0
gnuPod 0.28
- Rewritten Playlistcode for tunes2pod.pl
- tunes2pod.pl doesn't kill your empty GNUtunesDB anymore
if it can't find the iTunesDB
- mktunes.pl uses now binmode(), maybe this helps
RedHat 8 ? .. (and win32 ;) )
- mktunes.pl is now *much* faster!!
- the GNUtunesDB written by gnupod_delete.pl looks
nicer now :) (id= is now always the first element..)
gnuPod 0.27 codename 'codename'
- We are now on gnu.org
- Fixed 'creating playlists' sample in documentation.
- Firmware 1.1.0 can read FAT32, updatet documentation.
- gnupod_delete.pl doesn't kill regex playlists anymore (ouch)
- gnupod_search.pl supports -g(enre)
(Thanks to Johan Ruttenberg)
gnuPod 0.26
- We are going to be a GNU package:
> Support for LongOpts
> Documentation aviable as TexInfo
> GNU-Style build system (configure/make)
- You can now create (mktunes) and convert (tunes2pod)
empty playlists (0 songs)
This isn't usefull, but iTunes can do it and we should
also be able to do it.
- tunes2pod supports now buggy, ehr. funny playlists
written by MusicMatch
- Playlists are now sorted on the iPod as they are found
in the GNUtunesDB - file
- mktunes.pl no longer accepts <playlist..> when </file> was
not found.
- gnupod_addsong.pl handles long filenames now better
- Timestamp should now be set correct
(utime(undef,undef.. didn't work on every OS..)
- new playist keywords. You can now use <regex ..
to create a playlist using regular expressions.
<regex is case sensitive, use <iregex if you want case INsensitive
checking
gnuPod 0.25 (API-Freeze i think ;) )
- New Syntax (We use getopt)
- Many small bugfixes
- Fixed mktunes and tunes2pod 'touch' bug
- tunes2pod creates now a nicer XML file
- 'composer' added to gnupod_addsong.pl
- Fixed 'Genere' - 'genre' typo.. args!
(Thanks to Guillaume Leclanche)
- gnupod_addsong.pl knows now winamp genres (NOT generes!! *doh!*)
- gnupod_addsong.pl can now read from stdin, for example:
find /blabla/foo | gnupod_addsong.pl -gm /mnt/ipod -
(note the -g switch (no need to press ENTER) and '-')
(Many thanks to Scott Savarese)
gnuPod 0.22
- Bugfix in tunes2pod for Perl 5.8
(Many thanks to Orion Buckminster Montoya)
- tunes2pod typo corrected *doh!*
(Orion Buckminster Montoya again :) )
- Support for tracknumbers like "01/18"
(Many thanks to Darrell Golliher)
- Support for 'composer' tag (just in XML/iTunesDB, not ID3)
(Thanks to Alexey Marinichev for providing the ID :) )
