Release:DrNo

From XMMS2

1 Release Notes

Release Notes

A long overdue release, it's been delayed because we couldn't find any good DrNo references to put in the release notes, so in the end (after watching the movie a couple of times) we just release it raw and without funny references. As usual there was a lot of people involved in in getting this release out, they have our gratitude! Now we don't have time writing this anymore, XMMS2Con is on and the beer is waiting.

Upgrading

Upgrading should be smooth.

Noteworthy changes

Waf build system updated to version 1.5.10
Doesn't crash on OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Source preferences in collections serverside.
sc68 plugin
many nycli improvements

For users

The old CLI is deprecated, and will be replaced with nycli, in next release the old CLI will be removed and the command "xmms2" will execute nycli, to get the behaviour with this release set the runnycli option in your config. The nycli "quit" alias now shuts down server, not nycli client (but if you already have a nycli config file you still have old behaviour). Please see MigrateToNyCLI for more information about nycli.

Bug fixes

Many bugs were fixed, and probably more introduced. See the full Changelog below for details.

the gme plugin now depends on libgme (http://code.google.com/p/game-music-emu/)
