DeaDBeeF 0.5.0 RC1
2011/05/10
downloads: i686 static binary and source tarball
you can also build from git using "0.5.0-rc1" tag.
this build is as close to final 0.5 as possible, except few cosmetic changes need to be done, such as Changelog update, fresh translations, etc.
make sure to try it out and report any issues, i'm planning to start making tarball for final 0.5 somewhere on saturday this week - so there is still some time to fix bugs.
short list of changes since beta2:
- binary build now has translations
- fixed AudioOverload plugin mem corruption bug
- fixed loading AudioOverload psf libs from archives
- many fixes in tags display, loading and editing
- several converter presets are now bundled, and available without any manual work
- fixed aac plugin in binary build
- added libpng support to notify plugin
- added --play-pause cmdline option
- fixed crash bug when loading 0.4.4 eq config
- fixed foobar2000 eq preset importing
- fixed freebsd compile problems
- fixed major bug in playlist sorting
- added apev2 tag reading/writing to tta plugin
- fixed apev2 writer to store multiline fields as single frames
and many more less-major fixes.
thanks to everyone who helped tracking down all the bugs.
enjoy!

hopefully, the next build will be RC1
upd: i've uploaded few converter presets. grab archive from this link, and unpack into ~/.config/deadbeef/presets/. this way you'll get following encoders in Converter: mp3 (lame), wav, flac, ogg. you will need to have appropriate cmdline encoders to be installed, except wav -- it uses built-in function.
upd2: short instruction how to use resampler and other DSP plugins:
- go to Edit -> Preferences -> DSP
- click Add
- select "Resampler (Secret Rabbit Code)", and click OK
- select the added plugin from list, and click Configure
- set desired samplerate and algorithm
- close Preferences window

Android Alpha1 released
2011/01/30
i'm proud to present the first public release of DeaDBeeF for Android. find it in android market. make sure you install DeaDBeeF Free Plugins Pack (which has mp3 and other decoders).
bug reports should be directed to my email. make sure to write which phone do you have, which android version, etc.
full information is available on android market page, but i'll put some here too:
- it should work on android 1.6 and higher
- all plugins with GPL and LGPL code are distributed in Free Plugins Pack, source code to build them will be uploaded ASAP (too tired to do it now)
- main package has FLAC, Wavpack, DUMB, Musepack, TTA plugins
- no DSP plugins yet
- some of the decoders were not ported (yet)
- many features are accessible via longpress and the menu button
- i only tested on emulators (1.6, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3) and HTC Desire with 2.2
- this is ALPHA release, which means it is highly unfinished, will crash, has bugs, unimplemented features, etc
have fun!
