Since there haven't been any bug reports lately most changes have been available only on the PPA and no releases have been mande.<br/>
This release groups those changes which include bugfixes and performance improvements. It also changes the versioning scheme to match Ubuntu's (the YEAR.MONTH thing).<br/>
Please report any bugs you find as well as features or changes you would like to see!</p>TagPlayer 0.2.092011-03-24T17:58:43.891544+00:002011-03-24T17:58:43.783636+00:00tag:launchpad.net,2011-03-24:/+announcement/8013filipehttps://launchpad.net/~hikibi<p>This release introduces a few bugfixes including a fix for a critical bug that I forgot to release. It also contains a couple of small performance optimizations that I was saving for a later (bigger) release.</p>TagPlayer 0.2.082011-03-09T17:41:59.289926+00:002011-03-09T17:41:59.145277+00:00tag:launchpad.net,2011-03-09:/+announcement/7923filipehttps://launchpad.net/~hikibi<p>This release brings multiple library locations support and a new Last.fm authentication mechanism that frees TagPlayer from external libraries.

Also, the PPA now has proper packages for Lucid, Maverick and Natty. This means there will no longer be a deb installer in the downloads section for the latest release, since PPA's are simpler to keep up to date and offer packages for multiple distro versions.</p>TagPlayer 0.2.062011-02-22T00:33:25.753242+00:002011-02-22T00:31:08.322214+00:00tag:launchpad.net,2011-02-22:/+announcement/7824filipehttps://launchpad.net/~hikibi<p>It took a while but the next release of TagPlayer is ready. To make up for the wait I decided to release only when I had enough worthwhile features as well as ironed out a couple of small but annoying bugs. So, in 0.2.06 I added:</p>
<p>- Ubuntu Sound Menu support<br/>
- Multimedia Keys support<br/>
- Faster and more stable player<br/>
- Search box</p>
<p>The Ubuntu Sound Menu support is clearly the most important new feature, and the one that took the most time (needlessly, most of the time derived from the lack of documentation on the python-dbus/mpris2 specifics), but hopefully it is working flawlessly. This addition means the AppIndicator is now gone, but it can come back as a choosable setting if there is demand.<br/>
Multimedia keys were a requested feature and one that was most welcome after I found out one of my keyboards had them. They are quite handy sometimes.<br/>
The player code was messy and bloated, and altough I haven't been able to properly rewrite it I fixed enough of it so it wouldn't pose a usability issue.<br/>
Finally, I added a little search box that filters the tags presented to the user because huge libraries lead to huge number of tags and I though this would be a nice way to help the user. Plus, I don't think it hurts the interface's looks.</p>
<p>Planned for the next (non-bugfix) release is another requested feature that I though would be very useful: multiple library locations. No one should be forced to keep all music in the same folder!</p>
<p>Any requests and bug reports (or even random questions) are very welcome and I'll try to reply as fast as possible (especially on the bugs). Thanks for all the feedback!</p>TagPlayer 0.2.052011-02-01T15:28:12.720419+00:002011-02-01T15:28:12.538908+00:00tag:launchpad.net,2011-02-01:/+announcement/7688filipehttps://launchpad.net/~hikibi<p>It's been a while since the last release (not enough free time to dedicate to this) so here's something to help while the next proper improvements: better player backend (those play/next buttons aren't quite as responsive as they should be) and Ubuntu Sound Menu integration aren't ready.<br/>
There's a fix for a nasty bug regarding libraries on removable media (one that hopefully hasn't been experienced by anyone other than me), notifications on track change and appindicator support. The icon isn't tagplayer's logo because the python api for appindicator doesn't support custom icons yet, but it shouldn't be a problem because I plan to dump appindicator as soon as Ubuntu Sound Menu integration is complete (it just feels a lot more natural than yet another indicator). By the way, I know the logo is ugly, but my design skills are non-existant and any suggestions are welcome. As always, keep the bug reports coming!</p>TagPlayer 0.2.042011-01-02T19:12:57.616568+00:002011-01-02T19:12:57.570376+00:00tag:launchpad.net,2011-01-02:/+announcement/7510filipehttps://launchpad.net/~hikibi<p>In the tradicional FOSS spirit of "release early, release often" here is yet another release. Some more fixes to deal with bugs and improve the overall feel.<br/>
Thanks to all who filed bug reports and keep them coming, it's the best way to push the app forward, any sugestions are also always welcome.</p>TagPlayer 0.2.012010-12-30T19:58:57.233899+00:002010-12-30T19:59:30.324923+00:00tag:launchpad.net,2010-12-30:/+announcement/7494filipehttps://launchpad.net/~hikibi<p>Following the recent (and rather buggy) 0.1 release, this version is leaning a lot more towards stability.

The UI shouldn't suffer many changes since simplicity is one of the goals.<br/>
First run can take a long time depending on your library size since it needs to make lots of api calls to Last.fm. The library is built asynchronously and becomes available as it is processed. The library isn't updated when files are removed yet.<br/>
All bug reports/<wbr/>questions/<wbr/>sugestions are appreciated (file them at the Launchpad).</p>
