When building with the ancient automake 1.6 version, the following
errors occur:
Makefile.am:5: invalid variable `doc_DATA'
doc/Makefile.am:2: invalid variable `doc_DATA'
This patches renames some internal variables.
By default, glibc 2.8 hides struct ucred behind the _GNU_SOURCE
macro. I don't want to enable that globally, because it may encourage
the use of non-portable functions. Test if "struct ucred" is
available, and enable _GNU_SOURCE if required.
For details about that issue, see glib's bug database:
http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6545
Some functions assume that a song is not in the database when it is a
remote song. Based on that, they decide whether they are responsible
for freeing the song struct. Add a special function which checks
whether a song is in the database (currently equal to song_is_file()).
GLib provides an easier API for character set conversion than iconv().
Use g_convert() / g_convert_with_fallback() for all character
conversions. We should optimize the path.h API later to return a
newly allocated buffer, so we can just pass GLib's return value.
GLib is a nice and portable utility library. We are going to use it
from now on, and eliminate a lot of duplicated code from MPD. Why
invent the wheel again and again?
Use memchr() instead of manually traversing the input buffer. Update
the client's properties after all commands have been processed. Check
for buffer overflow once.
The caller already knows the protocol family, and we can eliminate the
complicated switch statement in establishListen() if we just pass this
information. This seems more robust.
"idle" waits until something noteworthy happens on the server,
e.g. song change, playlist modified, database updated. This allows
clients to keep up to date without polling.
Added mpd.conf options for disabling automatic resamling, sample
format and channel conversion. This way, users may choose to override
ALSA's automatic resampling, and use libsamplerate instead.
This git branch has become a real MPD fork now. Time to change the
package name to the code name "mpd-mk". Set the version number to
"0.14~git" to mark this as a non-released version.
Don't follow relative symlinks which point into the music directory.
This allows you to organize music with symbolic links, without MPD
managing separate copies of each song.
The mapper library maps directory and song objects to file system
paths. With this central library, the code mixture in path.c should
be cleaned up, and we will be able to add neat features like aliasing.
isMusic() used to be a very inefficient function: with every
invocation, it did another stat() on the specified file. There is
only one caller, do the stat() there manually and use hasMusicSuffix()
instead of isMusic().
