Ver 3.0 patchlevel 1 released Sat Jul 14 19:58:39 PDT 2001
----------------------------------------------------------
CD-ROM drive support changes:
- Added a new "scsiVersionCheck" parameter to the device.cfg file.
This is to make the CD-ROM drive SCSI-2 version checking in xmcd
and cda configurable.
OS Support changes:
- Re-introduced support for the OpenVMS operating system on Alpha AXP
and VAX platforms.
- Added code to support for IDE/ATAPI drives on the OpenVMS platform.
Since OpenVMS supports these drives via SCSI-emulation, xmcd should
be configured for a SCSI device.
Other changes:
- Replaced the "CDDB disable" button in xmcd with the "Internet Offline"
button. The new "offline" mode differs from the old "disable" mode
in that CDDB lookups will still occur from the local cache (no Internet
CDDB server will be accessed). Also, xmcd's wwwWarp menu entries
which would invoke a remote web site will be disabled. This should
be used when the system is not connected to the Internet (e.g., on
a dialup connection while not online). Similarly, the -cddb and
-nocddb command line options in cda have been changed to -online and
-offline with the same change in semantics. The disableCddb parameter
in common.cfg has also been changed to internetOffline.
- Fixed a bug that was causing submissions to the CDDB² service to
fail even though the data is acceptable and the network/servers are
running fine.
- Fixed an xmcd problem where the keypad time display and track warp
slider would freeze when the playback mode is not in segment play
mode but the main window time display is set to "e-seg" or "r-seg".
- Fixed a problem with using the xmcd keypad to go to another track or
disc while playing program or shuffle modes.
- Removed some conditions that could cause SIGALRMs to be received
while xmcd is handling X events. Also, fixed certain situations
where spawned child processes were handling X events instead of the
parent. This was causing sporadic X errors and xmcd crashes.
- Fixed a bug that caused classic CDDB lookup to fail if HTTP proxy
authorization is enabled.
- Changed xmcd to keep the Credit Fullname Wizard window open if a user
clicks the Credit 'Add', 'Modify' or 'Delete' buttons, or
select/de-select credit list items. Also, enhance the data fields
verification for the full name wizard window.
- Enhanced xmcd and cda to handle erroneous CDDB data more gracefully,
where a subgenre is set to the value that of a genre, or where a
subrole is set to the value of a role category.
- Fixed a missing single quote in libdi_d/config.sh that was causing
the script to fail while configuring proxy servers. Also, fixed
a problem with reading the device configuration files where the
wrong device parameters would get used.
- The install.sh and config.sh scripts will now use nawk if it's
available on the system. Otherwise it falls back to using awk.
- New, optional Makefile variable HOMEPAGE, specifies a URL for
the home page of the software if it has one.
- The value of HOMEPAGE is used to add a link from the
README.html files.
- pkglint updated to know about it. The "correct" location for
HOMEPAGE in the Makefile is after MAINTAINER, in that same
section.
Get rid of HAVE_MOTIF, MOTIF_STATIC, REQUIRES_MOTIF and MOTIF_ONLY.
Standardise on USE_MOTIF, which uses the pkgsrc dependency checks to
use Motif, if it's available, or Lesstif, if not.
directory - see the post-install target), so use a MAN1 definition to
make sure that any compression takes place, using the usual package
mechanism. Fixes a problem pointed out by Charles Hannum.
