Glyr comes both in a commandline interface tool and as a C library, both with an
easy to use interface. The sort of metadata glyr is searching (and downloading)
is usually the data you see in your music player. And indeed, originally it was
written to serve as internally library for a music player, but has been extended
to work as a standalone program.
SDL_mixer is a sample multi-channel audio mixer library. It supports any number
of simultaneously playing channels of 16 bit stereo audio, plus a single channel
of music, mixed by the popular FLAC, MikMod MOD, Timidity MIDI, Ogg Vorbis, and
SMPEG MP3 libraries.
As of SDL_mixer 1.2.7, FLAC, MikMod, Ogg Vorbis and MP3 loading libraries are
dynamically loaded, so if you don't need to load those formats, you don't need
to include those shared libraries.
Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.3.4 and libmikmod 3.3.5 ():
==========================================================================
libmikmod v3.3.5 was released on 10-Jan-2014.
This is a minor bugfix / maintenance release.
- New PulseAudio driver for audio output, using pa_simple_* api.
- Improved ALSA driver.
- mikmod.texi: Fixed document generation using newer texinfo.
- Updates and fixes to configury (autotools) and to cmake support.
Cmake support covers more targets and options now.
- Made the aiff, wav and raw file writer drivers configurable: the
library can be configured and compiled without any audio output
drivers if so required, except for drv_nos ('nosound') of course.
- DOS (djgpp): fixed the sound blaster SB16 driver.
- Fixed a few potential sources of crash, several code clean-ups.
- Minor compilation fixes against ancient software versions.
- Merged an updated gp32 driver (it is still an untested driver...)
Summary of changes between libmikmod 3.3.3 and libmikmod 3.3.4 ():
==========================================================================
libmikmod 3.3.4 was released on 08-Dec-2013.
- libmikmod.m4: fixed so that it works with C++ compilers.
- cmake: fixed a cpack version number issue.
- Fix CVE-2006-3879 (Secunia 21196) for Graoumf tracker (gt2) loader.
(the loader is non-functional yet but the issue was there.)
- Fix memory leaks in the Graoumf tracker (gt2) loader.
- UMX loader: Support umx music files from Unreal 1997/98 beta version.
- S3M loader: Enforce the 64000 bytes sample length limit, which has
been in effect since libmikmod-v3.1.10, only for tracker id 1, i.e.
only if setting the S3MIT_SCREAM flag during track conversion. Fixes
playback of some rare brokenly prepared files - e.g. Arena2.umx from
the unreal game community add-on level decyberduel.
- ULT loader: Fix version array size (was 1 less then its initializer.)
- ESD driver: Fix signature for esd_playstream function pointer (const)
- ALSA driver: Remove unused function pointers.
- The library is compilable using C++ compilers.
Xiph.Org is pleased to announce a full release of libvorbis 1.3.4.
The primary feature of this release is reduced static data size in
libvorbisenc, as well as associated minor changes required to
libvorbis and libvorbisfile. The release also contains minor build
fixes and build system updates. There are no functional changes
over the previous 1.3.3 release.
either because they themselves are not ready or because a
dependency isn't. This is annotated by
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # not yet ported as of x.y.z
or
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # py-foo, py-bar
respectively, please use the same style for other packages,
and check during updates.
Use versioned_dependencies.mk where applicable.
Use REPLACE_PYTHON instead of handcoded alternatives, where applicable.
Reorder Makefile sections into standard order, where applicable.
Remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCLUDE_3X lines since that will be default
with the next commit.
Whitespace cleanups and other nits corrected, where necessary.
Add doc option to enable building documentation, defaulting to off.
Bump PKGREVISION, even though package didn't package before except if
you had doxygen installed.
