File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: njstream-0.8

Notes:
Changes to libnjb admin API are catered for so that njstream now compiles libnjb 2.2 versions as well as previous libnjb 2.x versions.

Display fixes and the resolution of an AMD 64-bit crash are also provided.

Changes:
Release 0.8
                Changed XML Schema namespace to remove njstream version number
                Change XML Schema list type to be abstract
                Updates to make compatible with libnjb 2.2 (2.0/2.1 still OK)

                Various fixes to display update when adding/modifying a track

                Fix for AMD 64 crash in error processing - non-thread-safe use of
                strerror

Release 0.7
                Implement:
                        drag-drop reordering of play queue
                        track upload
                        track delete
                        track tag modification

                Change how track URLs work (dialogue, not download)
                Change track URLs to include some track tag data (to assist non-range
                        players such as XMMS)

                Extensive rationalization of GUI

Release 0.6.5:
                Fix for UTF-8 translation problems.

                Implementation of Multi-Part HTTP message support (in preparation for
                audio file upload - not yet implemented).

                Rework of HTTP header parsing logic to support the above.

                Rework of DIV creation and manipulation logic in the JavaScript such
                that the re-display of the various frames is optimized, and
                manipulation of the Queue frame is much more elegant - and ripe for
                the implementation of drag-drop re-ordering (not there yet!).

Release 0.6.1: 11 February 2005
                Fix to handling connection close for HTTP 1.0 clients. Fixes the
                problem where HTTP 1.0 clients (e.g. XMMS) don't play the whole
                playlist without manual intervention.

Release 0.6: 10 February 2005
                The play queue can be saved to the NJB as a playlist, and playlists
                can be deleted from the Playlist view.

                HTTP Server JavaScript and XML content handlers generate the Album,
                Artist, and Genre indexes.

                XML content handlers now generates its index in full conformance to a
                well normalized schema which is delivered, and publishes the location
                of that schema in the generated index (and, of course, responds
                correctly to subsequent requests for the schema from validating
                parsers!)

                Rationalized and beefed up error processing

                Improved HTTP implementation

                Rationalized a lot of the internal APIs

                Greatly rationalized the JavaScript code
