This is the first release. Other than my code it contains eggtrayicon.h and eggtrayicon.c (by Anders Carlsson and Jean-Yves Lefort), taken from libegg, and the LASH icon (by Thorsten Wilms) from the LASH project. A patch from Florian Schmidt, adding session renaming and directory switching, has also been applied. Get it at http://dino.nongnu.org/glashctl Attaching README: GLASHCTL ======================================================================= This is a simple applet for controlling the LASH Audio Session Handler. When you run it it will appear as a small LASH icon in your "notification area" or "system tray" (if your desktop manager is compatible with freedesktop.org's "System tray" standard, http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/systemtray-spec). This is typically somewhere in the panel in KDE or GNOME. BUILDING IT ============================================================ To build this program you will need the following libraries: * libgtkmm (2.6.4 or newer) * libvte (0.11.15 or newer) * liblash (0.5.1 or newer) You will also need to have the LASH server, lashd, somewhere in your $PATH. To build the program with the default configuration (install in /usr/local, compile with -g -O2 etc), simply type 'make' in this directory. If you want to change the configuration, use the configure script (run configure --help for details). When you type 'make' a program called glashctl should be generated, and when you type 'make install' it should be installed on your system. You need to install it before you run it, otherwise it won't find the LASH icon file and will not start. USING IT ============================================================ To use the applet, simply run the program. If you have a standards-compliant system tray on your desktop a small LASH icon (a cardboard box with a soundwave on it) should appear there. It is probably insensitive (greyed out), unless you were already running lashd or have the LASH_START_SERVER environment variable set to 1. If you right-click the icon a menu will pop up where you can choose to start lashd. When lashd has started the icon should become sensitive (show colours), and you will be able to restore audio sessions, and when there is an active session, save it, close it, rename it or change its directory. You can also quit the applet from the popup menu. You can also left-click the icon to open a message window that shows information about the events received from lashd. NOTES ============================================================ The LASH icon was created by Thorsten Wilms for the LASH project (http://lash.nongnu.org). I know that the GNOME HIG discourages using the notification area for permanent icons and icons that have actions other than just opening a window associated with them, but until there is a standard for writing normal panel applets that work in both KDE and GNOME and in other window managers I'll do it anyway.

I haven't tried the 0.2 release, but the dev version i still run doesn't produce an error dialog if lashd failed to start. Maybe it should?

This release is the first official one which incorporates the new CLAM Music Annotator featuring chord extraction. Almost 30 new spectral transformations have been incorporated into the processing repository. Some of them are already available from the NetworkEditor. Application usage has received some extra stress on this release. Applications are better integrated on Windows and Linux desktops. Step by step application tutorials are available on the clam wiki for Music Annotator [1], SMSTools [2], Network Editor and Prototyper [3]. And, all of them all provide examples to start with.

The release ChangeLog follows below. 2006-06-30 Tom Szilagyi * Aqualung 0.9beta5 http://aqualung.sf.net This is a new milestone release after 17 months of silent development. Large parts of the program have been rewritten, refactored, fixed, etc. A multitude of new features have been added to the software, which now weighs into Open Source with about 30,000 lines of GPL'ed source code, all written by a handful of free-time developers (no, you won't need your whole hand). It won't make too much sense to precisely list every change made to the sources during this period - the list would be prohibitively lengthy. For the curious, the mailing list archive is recommended. The most important, high-level changes are summarized below. * Group CDs in the Playlist via "Album mode". Shuffle between records but play their contents in order! * Statusbars in Playlist and Music Store display statistics and other data. * Multiple Music Stores are supported - useful for separate genres, file formats or for music mounted from different file servers via NFS. * CDDB support! * iFP driver support for integrating with iRiver HW players! * Completely reworked Settings dialog, the new control center! * Embed Playlist into Main window for a more compact look! * Search facility for Music Store and Playlist. * Add support for Musepack (via libmpcdec), Monkey's Audio, Ogg Speex. * Rudimentary album art (cover display) support. * RVA-related work, improved metadata support. * Fixed a boatload of bugs concerning cyrillic filenames, etc. * MP3 improvements (file recognition, clipping, seeking...) * Better fault tolerance in Ogg Vorbis decoder. * Various GUI fixes, new command line options, etc, etc. * Improved build system for skins, icons, etc. * New skins (Ocean, Plain), new Logo (see About box)! ;-) * Better RT behaviour with Jack output. * Compiles and runs on AMD64 (thanks to Mark Knecht for testing)!
