formerly know as SlimServer (audio/slimserver).
The most visiable change is a new AJAX heavy default skin. A
configuration option is available to install with the Classic skin
instead (the new Default is broken with Konqueror). Other changes
can be found in the release notes:

The SqueezeCenter port does not overlap with SlimServer so both
will remain for the time being.

slimdevices. It turns out we just need to be more agressive about removing
all the pieces of it they ship in the tarball.

Add largely untested support for changing the slimserver user, group,
and database/cache directory with the SLIMUSER, SLIMGROUP, and SLIMDBDIR
make variables. Make sure the user/group exists before install if you
use a non-standard one.
release notes for details http://www.slimdevices.com/Changelog6.html.
Fix a longstanding bug that caused mDNS support to not actually work.
Take advantage of improvements in rc.subr to reduce the amount of code
in the shutdown path including removing the pgrep dependancy.
The biggest change is that the database is now MySQL instead of SQLite.
Slimserver starts it's own MySQL instance so you don't need to deal with
MySQL configuration, but both the client and server are now
dependencies. For more info see the change log at:
http://www.slimdevices.com/Changelog6.html
Most of the binary perl modules are now port dependencies. YAML-Syck is
not yet because it didn't work. I suspect a version issues (the ports
version is newer).
- Switch to trying to use faad instead of mov123 (non-existant on
UNIX-like platforms) for AAC files [1]
- Switch to using ogg123 directly for OGG vorbis files since sox
doesn't pull in vorbis support by default.
- Add OPTIONS support for various useful audio utils and default to
depending on the less restrictive ones.

The most important fix is probably avoiding database corruption that
caused the wrong artists to be associated with songs/albums. For full
details, see the Changelog.html or:

Stop trying to use ports versions of all the CPAN bits and do things the way
the vendor expects. It's less elegant, but much easier to maintain. Do build
our own versions of binary modules so we have a chance on all platforms, but
use a slightly modified version of their script to do so (mostly make it
non interactive and fetch the files from DISTDIR/DIST_SUBDIR rather
than direct from slimdevices each build).
Mark RESTRICTED. The distfiles and the build contain non-restributable bits.
Some of the people building packages for linux are working on a way around
this (not distributing the firmware and using alternate images), but that's
no here yet.
Nagged by: many :-)

"a thirdparty web page could cause your browser to trigger changes to
setup." The other major change is support for the new graphical display
shipping standard on all Squeezeboxes.
Because I had it already done in perforce and doing an upgrade without
it would be more difficult, I have also modified the port to auto
generate its pkg-plist.
