## Version 6.5.1 - 2007-01-15

- Firmware 72 for Squeezebox2/3 and Firmware 27 for Transporter

- Gapless MP3 playback for files encoded with LAME. Please do a complete wipe and rescan of your library to enable this.
- Rhapsody Direct support for SqueezeNetwork.
- Bug fixes.

- Cache:
  - In previous versions, SlimServer's FileCache directory was not cleaned out on a regular basis, and may have grown to a large size over time. Please note that the first time you run 6.5.1, there may be a slight delay while expired entries in the FileCache directory are cleaned out. This delay will only occur once.
- Internet Radio:
  - While playing a radio station, if the buffer runs out, the stream will pause and rebuffer for a few seconds. This helps prevent stuttering audio. If you get a lot of rebuffering messages, try increasing your Radio Station Buffer Seconds value under Server Settings -> Network to a value such as 10 seconds.
  - The Show Buffer Fullness option (Player Settings -> Now Playing Information) has been changed to display the number of seconds of audio in the buffer when listening to radio streams. This gives a better idea of a stream's performance and the effect of changing the Radio Station Buffer Seconds value.

- Digital output encoding: S/PDIF or AES/BEU
- Digital inputs: Balanced AES/EBU, BNC S/PDIF, RCA S/PDIF, Optical S/PDIF (TOSLINK)
- Support for two displays, including push and bump animations
- Front panel support, including buttons and the knob
- Setting for Word clock on S/PDIF outputs
- Setting for Polarity inversion

- Fixed WAV playback for various bitrates and sample sizes.
- Allow custom VU meter graphics to be uploaded to the firmware.
- Various DHCP bug fixes and enhancements.
- Allow the squeezebox network settings to be password protected. This can be enabled from the "Current settings" menu in the squeezebox setup menus.
- Wireless Ad-hoc networks can now use the 802.11g extended rates. The official spec for Ad Hoc networks limits the data rate to 11Mb/s, so depending on your wireless adapter in your PC you may not see the increased speed.
- Possible fix for Bug 2283 (MAC Corruption)

- International:
  - Huge overhaul of the Dutch translation by Willem Oepkes. Thanks a lot!
  - Jarkko Ahonen updated the Finnish translation.
  - Partial Hebrew translation from Avi Stone.
  - Updated Italian translation. Thanks a lot Riccardo Raponi!
  - Updated Spanish translation by Nestor Spedalieri
  - Updated French translation by Nicolas Guillemain
  - Updated German translation - Michael Herger
  - Many Unicode updates - tag parsing, and OPML browsing.
  - Add CODE2000 Unicode TrueType Font to default distribution.
  - Fix locale issues for clock display.
    Pull current time format information from the system. Use that to set LC_TIME for Windows & OS X system. Use current LC_TIME setting on *nix hosts.
  - Add support for displaying bidirectional text on the player, including Hebrew.
- Internet Radio:
  - New plugin: RadioGuide by radiotime.com.
  - Support for alternate bitrates in WMA streams.
  - Better bitrate detection for MP3 and WMA streams.
  - Remote MP3 files will use ID3 tags for artist/album/title when available.

- Skins:
  - Updated all skins to be CSS based, allowing HTML fragment reuse, and faster loading.
  - Added Ben Klass' excellent Nokia770 skin.
  - Change Fishbone to remove songinfo icon. Song title now links there, and the playlist index number, instead, jumps to the track.
  - Fishbone skin now has just a little bit of Ajax. Now Playing and Undock window now updated in the background.
  - Added player selection pulldown on all of Handheld's pages.
  - Now possible to browse albums at any level with the gallery view, using Artwork=1 parameter in the URL
  - Album listings can switch between list and gallery view. A cookie stores last selected option.
  - Add samplesize to song info page
- Performance:
  - Extended patch from mwphoto: Thumbs and cover art can be dynamically resized by passing parameters in the url.
  - Scanning now happens in a separate process from the main server.
  - Slower web pages can optionally be run in a separate process on Linux and Mac OS X.
- Player UI:
  - Patch from Chris Key: Number entry jumps directly to the given index using multiple button presses within the text entry timeout, deprecates the proportional jumps
  - Experimental UI change to remove the word Browse when it's redundant. Feedback welcome.
  - Include discrete power on/off for folks who are using smart remotes like Harmony's
  - Increase delay required for press and hold. Too many folks have heavy thumbs.
- Platform Support:
  - Unix: Don't ship binaries for FreeBSD, OpenBSD or Solaris anymore - people using these platforms can build their own.
  - OSX: Update XCode project to 2.2 & native build. Universal 10.4u SDK with ppc & i386 builds.
  - Win32: Map UNC paths to drive letters to avoid duplicates. WMP10 (among others) creates playlists with UNC paths.
  - Win32: Allow UNC style paths in AudioDir/PlaylistDir - map them to real drives if possible.
  - Debian: Add package build files & apt-get archive.
  - All: Rationalise file name for custom types/convert/strings: custom-types.conf, custom-convert.conf, custom-strings.txt are the preferred custom file names. For convert and types these are allowed in the server root directory and plugin root directories. (slimserver-convert.conf and slimserver-strings.txt retained in server root for backwards compatability only)
  - Unix: Move cachedir to ~/Cache
  - All: Use slimserversql.db for all platforms (and rename database in upgrade script on unix)
- Audio Browsing:
  - Don't display DRM'd tracks.
  - Support for generic UPnP AV Media Servers. They can be browsed and supported file types can be streamed from them.
- Tag Reading:
  - Fix APE tag ReplayGain reading for MP3s.
  - Read ID3v2 tags first from MP3 files. If those don't exist, try v1 tags.
    This will prevent confusion when tag editors (such as iTunes) don't change v1 tags.
  - Fix ordering of tracks in multi-disc compilation albums.
  - Read WM/Picture data from WMA files.
- Playlists:
  - Support XSPF Playlists
- Display:
  - Support of dual screen displays on Transporter.
  - Right to left scrolling of Hebrew text.

## Version 6.1.1 - 2005-07-21

- Bugs:

  - Fixed a problem where the bitrate of a track is reset when it was played. This broke transcoding & ffwd/rwd of MP3s.

## Version 6.1.0 - 2005-07-21

- Squeezebox2 Firmware (Revision 15):

  - Fixed problems with certain FLAC files (those with a sum of bits per sample, qlp_coeff_precision and lpc order over 32 took a different codepath).
  - Reset error codes when a connection is successfully established to a server, so we don't see the "Problem: Can't connnect" message prematurely when switching between SlimServer and SqueezeNetwork.
  - Change needed to support seamless reconnection to the SqueezeNetwork. Set the reconnect bit of the HELO message if we're playing an infinitely looping short track.
- Usability:

  - Dramatically increase performance for the common case of 'Browse Albums' with years.
  - Add a link on the WebUI for PodCast playlists imported from iTunes.

    - Proper error reporting when your Live365 login times out or has been superceded by a login elsewhere.
    - No more crash when listening to a station with only one song in the playlist.
    - Better login handling to avoid logging in multiple times if more than one player is browsing/playing Live365 stations at once.
- Internationalization:

  - Complete Czech translation from Roman Smetak.
  - Updated German translations from Michael Herger
  - Updated Spanish translations from Néstor
- Skins:

  - ExBrowse2, Fishbone & Touch Updates.
- Bugs Fixed:

## Version 6.1b1 - 2005-06-24

- SqueezeNetwork:

  - Added support for Slim Devices' Always-On Network Service: SqueezeNetwork.
  - Select the 'SqueezeNetwork' item from the Player UI Main Menu to connect.
  - See www.squeezenetwork.com for more details.
- Squeezebox2 Firmware (Revision 14):

  - Support for SqueezeNetwork & DirectStreaming
  - TCP out-of-order packet reassembly has been added. This improves direct streaming performance for many stations.
  - Fix a problem where some versions of the firmware would hang on completing an upgrade.
- Performance Improvements:

  - Playlists are now stored in the database, which drastically increases the speed for loading & shuffling large playlists. User created playlists are written out to the filesystem as a backup.
  - Browse Music Folder has been completely rewritten, and can now load a directory with 2000 items in 1 second.
  - The webserver now supports HTTP 304 Reponses & ETag Headers to allow smart caching of images for improved performance. These changes don't fully work in Safari however.
  - Rewritten Player update / Render Cache from Adrian
  - Browsing Albums & Tracks at the Genre & Artist level is now much faster.
- Internet Radio:

  - Michael Herger added a Web Interface for the Shoutcast & RadioIO plugins. Large portions of the Shoutcast plugin were rewritten for improved performance and memory savings.
  - Dave Cohen added a Podcast Plugin with some presets.
  - Live365 plugin now uses async HTTP connections for fetching catalog and current song information.
  - Web-enabled Live365 plugin from chrisp810. The packages in the old Live365.pm are factored out into individual files in the Live365 directory. Also included are templates for the Default and EN skins. Thanks chrisp810!
- Usability:

  - The WipeDB checkbox now resides on the first page as part of the Rescan button.
  - Turn on active cleanup of removed tracks - if you remove a track from your filesystem, it will now be removed from the DB on rescan.
  - New display code including "ticker mode" scrolling for the RSS Plugin.
  - Unicode / Character set updates, which fix file encoding that was causing SlimServer to skip files with accented characters.
- Skins:

  - Fixes to the Handheld Skin from Michael Herger
  - Jacob Potter updated ExBrowse2 to use his JXTK, and to have Drag-n-Drop playlist modification.
- Windows Platform Support:

  - SlimServer.exe has been replaced with SlimTray.exe.
  - The tray tool can check the status of SlimServer, stop and start the service, and launch the web interface in the user's default browser. SlimServer is now always installed as a Windows service (the option of starting automatically at boot time still exists).
- SoftSqueeze (revision 2.0b9):

  - Added support for direct streaming.
  - Fix audio buffer to ensure that changes in the audio format are always correctly detected. This stops the white noise when playing aac files in sync.
  - Fixed up/down animations.
  - Added Excession-Thin skin, contributed by Josh Eckels.
- 3rd Party Integration:

  - Improved MusicMagicMixer support. Don't try and scan the MMM database, while it's still analyzing music. This would cause Slimserver to grind to a halt. We recommend upgrading to the latest version of MusicMagicMixer.
  - XPL Updates - patch from John Gorst, including doc update.
- Bugs Fixed:

  - #330 - reloading Handheld skin can cause unexpected behavior
  - #354 - Add (artist name) to album view in web interface
  - #527 - irmap preference should not use absolute path

  - Fixes for BEFW11S4 v4 and Netgear MR814 v2 access points.
  - Fixes for WEP on BEF11S4v2
  - Support Ad-hoc wireless.
  - Turned off global debugging. Leaving it on (an oversight) could cause performance problems, including the "crunchy" audio when there was a large amount of network activity while playing FLAC.
  - Fix: blank screen after server disconnect.
  - Fix: client-side animations weren't using the correct screen size when we had side visualizers.
- Usability:

  - Don't include composers during searches unless you've changed the settings to.
  - Don't try to shuffle remote streams - as they won't have a distinct Album.
  - We weren't adding COMPOSER, CONDUCTOR, etc to the title format, which we used to do in 5.4
- iTunes:

  - If iTunes is available, turn it on by default.
  - If a user moved their iTunes Music Folder, we still had stale information in the database. Rescan, and pull the correct Music Folder path from the .XML file.
- Formats:

  - Updated 'sox' on OSX to be statically linked for Ogg usage.
  - Monkey's Audio: Use mac.exe v3.99 that properly supports stdout.
- SoftSqueeze:

  - Fix for Java 1.4 users (OSX mostly) - that prevented SoftSqueeze from being usable.
- Skins:

  - Fixes for Fishbone & ExBrowse2
- Known Issues:

  - Large playlists can't be saved: bug #1266
  - On some systems (Windows mostly), files with accented characters are not scanned: bug #1226

## Version 6.0 - 2005-03-27

### Summary:

- Support for the new Squeezebox2 player.
- Faster scanning, searching and browsing—scales to very large music libraries (100K+ tracks).
- Advanced search features and new browse categories.
- Integrates with MusicMagic Mixer from Predixis, MoodLogic and iTunes.
- Unicode support—web interface translated to even more languages, including Japanese.
- Many more improvements and bug fixes.

- Performance & Memory Usage:

  - Only load the strings for the currently active language, make plugins re-loadable for language changes.
  - Memory usage further reduced by dynamically loading SLIMP3 & xPL modules.
  - iTunes rescan performance is now much faster.
- General:

  - Don't check for stale tracks on startup - this is back to 5.4 behavior.
  - Stale Album, Contributor and Genre cleanup happens only after a rescan.
  - Updated to the latest Squeezebox2 Firmware.
- Formats:

  - Use sox instead of oggdec for ogg decoding.
    With sox, we can specify the output audio parameters, so that we will always get 44.1Khz 16-bit audio, even if the input is of a different sample rate.
    This fixes the chipmunk problem with serveral Ogg streams.
- Command Line Interface:

  - More updates from Frederic Thomas.
- Softsqueeze:

  - Fixed spectrum analyzer to work correctly.
  - Fixed visualizer crash when using fwd/rew.
  - Fixed volume control following change in slimserver.
  - Do allow Softsqueeze2 to run when connected to 5.4.x server.
  - Short tracks were not being played, force the playback to start if the stream is closed and we are still buffering.
  - Fixed Softsqueeze configuration, when used for the first time then mac address was not sticky.
  - Fixed Softsqueeze configuration error, that could stop ssh tunneling from working.
  - Fixed aac playback in Softsqueeze
  - Fix playback of non 44100 frame rates in Softsqueeze. Let's lose those radio chipmunks.
  - Softsqueeze could not play mp3 streams transcoded to 64 or 96 kbit/s.
    With these low bit rate streams the output buffer would fill before the decoder buffer reached the autostart threshold.
    Now we start playback if either buffer is full.
  - Fix display brightness.
- Skins:

  - xmlTelCanto has been updated for 6.0
  - Gordon "Flash" skin. has been removed.
  - Fixes for ExBrowse2, NBMU, Touch, Default2 & Handheld.

  - Artists or Albums with '*' in the string cause the Player UI to behave strangely.
  - MusicMagic connection settings need to be exposed when plugin is enabled, even though connection cannot be established.
