Rygel 0.9.9 (Relativity)

[news 28]

Rygel 0.9.9 (Relativity) is out!

 

A new release in the current unstable 0.9.x series for upcoming GNOME 2.91.90

release.

 

- Define separate log domains for core and each plugin.

- Improved log output control: We now allow you to specify log levels separately

for each log domain.

- HTTP Connection stalling supported for ALL streams.

- Entertain priority in GStreamer-based HTTP streams.

- Rename 'upnp_enabled' in configuration to 'upnp-enabled'.

- Add section about MPRIS plugin to manpage.

- Several fixes/improvements to manpages.

- Fix some environment variables' names.

- Use both user & system configuration. So far, we have been ignoring the system

configuration file when the user configuration file exists. This leads into

problems whenever our configuration keys change. Now we load configuration

from both sources and get the config value from system configuration if user

configuration doesn't offer a value for it.

- Use 'data' directory in source tree as the system config location when

configured to run uninstalled.

- Configure option to enable fatal valac warings. Also make this default when

running autogen.sh.

- Make configure --help less ugly.

- Make use of modern autotools.

- Show VALA flags in configure summary.

- Remove special configure flag to enable maemo configuration as it should just

be the default in maemo-specific branch.

- Clear the ChangeLog file content.

- UI:

- Trim-down the UI to only provide options that end-user needs.

- Use the correct key for 'UPnP enabled' option.

- All widgets must be disabled when sharing is.

- Option to use 'any' network.

- MediaExport:

- Hide empty virtual folders.

- Don't keep empty containers in DB.

- More debug output.

- Tracker:

- Only share available files: As tracker also indices removable media we need

to filter out those files that are currently unavailable.

- Localization:

- Add Kannada translation.

- Update UG translation.

- Update German translation.

- Update UK translation.

- Update Gujarati translations.

- Update Ukranian translation.

- Update Hebrew translation.

- Update Norwegian bokmål translation.

- Update Spanish translation.

- Update Estonian translation.

- Many other non-functional and/or minor improvements and fixes.

What is Rygel?

 

Rygel is a collection of DLNA (UPnP AV) services implemented through a plug-in

mechanism. UPnP in simplest words is a set of protocols that defines how

different devices on a home network can seamlessly (without or with minimum

configuration) communicate with each other. UPnP AV defines how multimedia

systems could be built on top of that. DLNA in simple words is a long list of

rules that implementers must comply to if they want to achieve interoperability

with other implementations in the market.
