SHELL.FM RELEASE NOTES 0.6 - 2008-09-04

Many thanks to the contributors to this release:
* Lars-Dominik Braun (bug fixes)
* Rodrigo Tartajo (small improvements)
* Guillaume Pinot (patches for OpenBSD)
* Alexander Monakov (meta flags in extern option)
* Wirt Wolff (manual update)
* Åke Forslund (bug fix)

New features:
* delayed station change:
'r', 's' and 'f' wait until the currently played track ends before
changing to the next station if "delay-change" is set.
* playlist preview:
'u' prints upcoming tracks in the station queue, with 'E' you can
manually load the next bunch of tracks of the playlist.
With 'preview-format' you can change the format of the track list.
* 'discovery' in the configuration lets you enable discovery mode by
default.
* UNIX socket support for local "remote" control (check manual).
* Directories ~/.shell-fm/ and ~/.shell-fm/cache are created
automatically.
* 'extern' option has support for format flags.
* Better support for *BSD.
* Some minor improvements and bug fixes.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/shell-monkey/journal/2008/09/04/25dl16_shell.fm_v0.6#comments http://www.last.fm/user/shell-monkey/journal/2008/04/25/4ift_moved_to_git/group Fri, 25 Apr 2008 14:25:09 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/shell-monkey/journal/2008/04/25/4ift_moved_to_git GitHub.

Checkout like this:

git clone git://github.com/jkramer/shell-fm.git shell-fm

Or let github create a fresh tarball from HEAD for you:

I just uploaded v0.5 to the shell-fm website. The tarball is here.

Here are the new features:

• rudimentary volume control
  
• "change-delay" option (delays changing to a new station until after the current track finished)
  
• finally a complete manual
  
• recommendations work
  
• adding tracks to playlist works
  
• unlove works
  
• option -b (batch mode)
  
• template support for 'i'-output
  
• option "minimum" for adjusting how long a track must be played until it may be scrobbled
  
• lots of minor improvements and bug fixes (see CHANGES)
  

All the documentation from the website moved to the manual included in the package. I also removed the autotools stuff again, since it was too much overhead for building that simple binary. Please report any problems with the Makefiles. If you want to build packages for some Linux distribution and you find yourself sed'ing the Makefile or something, please tell me and I'll add options to the Makefile as needed.

Have fun!

Best wishes,
Jonas]]> http://www.last.fm/user/shell-monkey/journal/2008/04/06/4ifs_shell-fm_v0.5_ready%21#comments http://www.last.fm/user/shell-monkey/journal/2007/10/24/4ifr_shell.fm_0.4_released%21/group Wed, 24 Oct 2007 10:30:43 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/shell-monkey/journal/2007/10/24/4ifr_shell.fm_0.4_released%21
I just released Shell.FM 0.4. The source is available at the website (http://nex.scrapping.cc/shell-fm/) or from the subverison repository.

I'd like to thank all contributors, testers and bug reporters for their support.

• 
  
• Support for the new protocol.
• 
  
• Builtin scrobbling (part of the new protocol).
• 
  
• Replaced libreadline and libncurses with an own readline function.
• 
  
• Better tab completion for radio URLs, tags etc.
• 
  
• Made more functions available over the network interface.
• 
  
• Many HTTP requests are now cached for being more speedy.
• 
  
• Love and bans are now done via XMLRPC, not the old web interface.
• 
  
• Added support for recommendations.
• 
  
• Cleaned up code.
• 
  
• Lots of bugs fixed.
• 
  

Have fun!

in the last weeks I rewrote/added a lot of code to make shell-fm compatible to the new Last.FM radio and submissions protocol. I think the new player is doing very fine now, but it'll need some more testing before I can release a beta or even stable version.
If you want to help making shell-fm ready for a release, please check out the new source from its branch (svn://nex.scrapping.cc/shell-fm/branches/1.2) and simply use it. If you find anything that seems to be wrong, annoying or clearly a bug, please contact me.

I'm almost always available in the shell-fm channel #shell-fm on irc.freenode.org or via private message on Last.FM. Also feel free to use the forum of our nice shell-fm group here. :)

I've written a Perl module for Shell.FM's socket control a few days ago, which provides easy access to the available functions of the socket interface. Get it here.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/shell-monkey/journal/2006/11/02/4ifp_shell.fm_control_perl_module#comments http://www.last.fm/user/shell-monkey/journal/2006/11/02/4ifo_shell.fm_%2526_lcds/group Thu, 2 Nov 2006 10:29:14 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/shell-monkey/journal/2006/11/02/4ifo_shell.fm_%2526_lcds ToyotomiNL wrote a
small Perl script, SLCLient to use Shell.FM with an LCDProc display. Displays working with LCDProc are little LCD/VFD displays often found on stereo components. The SLClient script prints the songtitle, artist and remaining time (configurable) to such a display.

I didn't know anything about this before, and I'm rather suprised. Have a look at it yourself: there's a simple homepage and an announcement on a GPE mailing list.

* Custom Radio (what you can do on http://www.last.fm/listen/, but integrated into the player - just press "a" and enter some artists)

* Bookmarks - press H and a digit (0-9) to bookmark the currently played station. Later you can press that digit again to jump back to that station.
