Revision history for Perl extension MPEG::MP3Play.

0.16 Sun Mar 30 2008, joern

• added patch from Yi Ma Mao for Makefile.PL so it conforms to CPAN automated testing.

0.15 Fri Nov 02 2001, joern

• removed debugging code from equalizer
• added set_input_position_range submitted by Tom House <ixo@one11.net>. Thanks for that, Tom.

0.14. Fri Jan 05 2001, joern

• puh, many changes of internal data structures in the 3.2.x release of Xaudio. Some messages constants were gone, but I didn't use them anywhere, so this should be no problem. This version builds well with Xaudio 3.0.8 and 3.2.1 under my Linux system.

0.13 Fri Jan 05 2001, joern

• added hint about incompatibility to actual Xaudio releases 3.2.x. Hopefully the Xaudio guys document their internal changes soon, so I can adjust MPEG::MP3Play...

0.12 Fri Sep 29 2000, joern

• Due to a bug in the Irix version of the Xaudio SDK the Makfile.PL needs to determine Irix. -laudio is added in this case. This version is only a bugfix release for Irix systems, all other users need not to update.

0.11 Thu Sep 28 2000, joern

• actual Xaudio releases lacks the control_message_s?print functions, so loading the .so module fails. Thanks to Valery Sherman <sher@moscow.sgi.com> and Gryn <gryn@spinlock.org> for the bug reports. Because these functions were not documented in the MPEG::MP3Play documentation, I disabled the corresponding code for a quick workaround, while reporting this as a bug to Xaudio. Stay tuned, maybe a new bugfix release is coming soon.

0.10 Sat Oct 09 1999, joern

• Equalizer support added, the samples/handler script demonstrates the usage of the equalizer features. The new methods are: $mp3->equalizer ( [$left_lref, $right_lref] ) $mp3->get_equalizer
• Some news: Bryan Collins <bryan@casper.spirit.net.au> develops a car audio MP3 player system, based on MPEG::MP3Play. See his website for details: http://bry.spirit.net.au/mcoupe/

0.09 Fri Sep 26 1999, joern

• The error messages thrown on exit of the Gtk+ sample scripts are gone. Thanks to Dermot Musgrove for his suggestions. I added a small chapter about preventing these error messages in the documentation.
• 'runsample' now uses 'perl -w'. MPEG::MP3Play and all sample scripts should now work without throwing warning messages (except 'gtkhandler.pl' where this is intended).
• There is a new sample script 'gtkinherit.pl' to demonstrate implementing message handlers by subclassing MPEG::MP3Play
• README.FreeBSD added, thanks go to Bryan Collins <bryan@casper.spirit.net.au> for his detailed information.
• 'runsample' is now generated by Makefile.PL to ensure that the correct Perl interpreter is used

0.08 Tue Sep 21 1999, joern

• Bugfix: MP3Play.xs did not compile with Perl 5.004_04, thanks to Dermot Musgrove <dermot@glade.perl.connectfree.co.uk> for his bug report. Now MPEG::MP3Play should work with all Perl versions better or equal than 5.004_04. Testers are welcome.
• added a section about REPORTING BUGS in the documentation to make my life easier ;)

0.07 Wed Sep 08 1999, joern

• Bugfix: $mp3->get_message was broken in Version 0.06, among other things the gtk* samples suffered from this bug and did not function
• the creation of the message hash in MP3Play.xs and conv_msg.c is now much more elegant. Thanks to Dan Sugalski <dan@tuatha.sidhe.org> for the hint.

0.06 Mon Sep 06 1999, joern

• fixed a memory leak in the get_message* methods. Thanks to Gene Senyszyn <scatt@goes.com> for the detailed bug report

0.05 Mon Aug 09 1999, joern

• debugging implemented by providing default handlers for XA_MSG_NOTIFY_ACK and _NACK.
• samples/handler.pl uses debugging for demonstration purposes

0.04 Sat Aug 07 1999, joern

• implemented a builtin message handler mechanism. Message corresponding methods will be invoked, so the user can simply supply/overload the message methods.
• added samples/handler.pl and samples/gtkhandler.pl to demonstrate the use of the builtin message handler.
• added samples/synopsis.pl. This proves that the usage shown in the SYNOPSIS really works ;)
• no symbols are exported by default anymore, some Exporter tags are available instead.

  THIS IS AN INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE.

  Try 'use MPEG::MP3Play qw(:DEFAULT)' as a first step, but better look into the documentation and see, which symbols you really need to import.

          I think 'use MPEG::MP3Play qw(:msg :state)' will work
          in most cases.
        - notification_mask setting
        - player mode setting
        - default message handler for player_state messages
        - fixed some minor documentation typos

0.03 Thu Aug 05 1999, joern

• gen_constant generates constants.h included by MP3Play.xs. gen_constant checks defines and enums, not only defines like h2xs does.
• so now all Xaudio symbols are available
• gen* scripts moved to the tools directory
• test.pl now only loads the module
• there are now more sophisticated test scripts in the samples directory, e.g. a script which uses Gtk+ to play a file showing a progress bar. This demonstrates the connection of the Xaudio message queue to Gdk.
• almost anything well documented now

0.02 Tue Aug 03 1999, joern

• added gen_conv_msg.pl to generate conv_msg.c out of the HTML documention provided by Xaudio
• conv_msg.c converts XA messages to HVs, for simple handling in Perl
• test.pl enhanced. Now shows timecode and exits on key pressure (if Term::ReadKey is installed) and on end of file.
• fixed minor POD formatting errors in MP3Play.pm

0.01 Sun Jul 25 1999, joern

• original version; created by h2xs 1.19
• my first contact with XS, but playing mp3 files works after two hours. I like it! ;)
• no error/message handling at all
