The 0.5.0 release candidate 2 has passed muster and is available for testing. While this release cycle has been long due to Michael's and my schedules of late, this release candidate is a significant improvement over the last. A large number of bugs were squashed and the only feature remaining is SSL compatibility. This release candidate includes: * Support for 2 protocols: UDP/TCP (with SSL support on its way) * XML themes! <- Portable themes that allow a Peep installation to configure out of the box. * Plug-in architecture for post-processing * XML messaging * Better stability. Yeah. This should be a lot more stable. * New sound effect architecture - makes adding new effects simple * New repository layout. Sounds are better organized and organization is now based on directory structure, rather than file numbers. * ALSA 0.9.x support (But untested). * Better debugging support The general install process is as follows: 1) Explode the tarball 2) Link in the sound directory. This can be downloaded at http://www.auralizer.com:8080/peep/download.html. 3) Build the server 4) Start the server 5) Build the client. With the server listening on port 2001 you should hear several sounds, including a rooster, a doorbell, and a couple of bird calls during the `make test`. The release candidate is attached as well as a tarball of the configuration files I use when testing for reference. A transcript (edited for brevity) of the install process I used when testing is also included below my sig for reference. Enjoy! -Collin -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Collin Starkweather http://www.collinstarkweather.com Consulting Software Engineer col...@co...
