Hi All, The dLeyna team are pleased to annouce a new stable release of the dLeyna components. All the major changes that have been made since the last stable release ( https://01.org/dleyna/downloads/2013/dleyna-renderer-0.1.3-and-dleyna-ser...) are listed below. dLeyna-server 0.4.0 -------------------- Changes introduced since the last stable release (dLeyna-server-0.1.2) * Added the new TypeEx property and fixed Type - The Type property is now almost consistent with the MediaServer2Spec Type property. This should remove a source of constant confusion and fix a number of bugs, in for example, the download sync controller. - A new property, TypeEx has been introduced. TypeEx contains the extended type information for an object, i.e., the value Type used to hold (although the values have changed), so if applications want the extended type they can still retrieve it. - For more information see: https://github.com/01org/dleyna-server/pull/103 * Added a sample upload controller application to the test/dbus directory. For more information see: https://github.com/01org/dleyna-server/pull/115 * Added the BrowseObjects method. - BrowseObjects allows selected properties of various specified objects to be retrieved in a single method call. Like ListChildren and Search, the caller can provide a filter that identifies the properties they wish to retrieve. - For more information see: https://github.com/01org/dleyna-server/pull/120 https://github.com/01org/dleyna-server/pull/128 https://github.com/01org/dleyna-server/pull/130 * Added support for Network filtering - Client applications can now specify a whitelist that restricts dLeyna to discovering DMSs on networks listed in the whitelist. This is an important security feature which should be used if your underlying platform does not use a firewall. - For more information see: https://github.com/01org/dleyna-server/pull/116 https://github.com/01org/dleyna-server/pull/136 * Settings can now be modified via d-Bus - Certain modifiable settings, such as never-quit and the dLeyna whitelist are now exposed as properties of the Manager object. In addition, these properties are read/write, which means that they can be updated by applications using d-Bus. Previously, users needed to modify the configuration files directly. - For more information see: https://github.com/01org/dleyna-server/pull/136 * LastChange and Changes - The LastChange signal has been deprecated. Applications should use the new Changes signal instead. Changes tries to hide applications from the fact that DMSs have two ways of informing clients that the contents of the DMS has changed, LastChange and ContainerUpdateIDs. Applications now just need to listen to Changes and they will receive update notifications regardless of the underlying notification method use by the DMS. - For more information see: https://github.com/01org/dleyna-server/pull/121 * Various bug fixes dLeyna-renderer 0.4.0 -------------------- Changes introduced since the last stable release (dLeyna-renderer-0.1.3) * Added support for Network filtering - Client applications can now specify a whitelist that restricts dLeyna to discovering DMRs on networks listed in the whitelist. This is an important security feature which should be used if your underlying platform does not use a firewall. - For more information see: https://github.com/01org/dleyna-renderer/pull/112 https://github.com/01org/dleyna-renderer/pull/121 * Settings can now be modified via d-Bus - Certain modifiable settings, such as never-quit and the dLeyna whitelist are now exposed as properties of the Manager object. In addition these properties are read/write, which means that they can be updated by applications using d-Bus. Previously, users needed to modify the configuration files directly. - For more information see: https://github.com/01org/dleyna-renderer/pull/121 * The OpenURI method now adheres to the MPRIS2 standard - That is it calls initiates playback. If you would like to open a URI without initiating playback call the new SetURI function instead. - For more information see: https://github.com/01org/dleyna-renderer/pull/98 https://github.com/01org/dleyna-renderer/pull/99 * OpenNextURI - A new method has been added to allow applications to provide DMRs with a URL that should be opened once the current URI has finished playing. - For more information see: https://github.com/01org/dleyna-renderer/pull/100 * ByteSeek support - dLeyna-renderer now correctly supports ByteSeek. There are two new methods, ByteSeek and SetBytePosition and two new properties, CanByteSeek and BytePosition. - For more information see: https://github.com/01org/dleyna-renderer/pull/106 https://github.com/01org/dleyna-renderer/pull/135 * Use MIME Type from GUPnP-DLNA if available - Previous versions of dLeyna-renderer always used the MIME type returned by GIO when hosting a file. This was inefficient as it meant that the MIME Type was computed twice, once by GIO and once by GUPnP-DLNA, it forced integrators to install the shared mime type info db and it introduced the possibility of discrepancies between the MIME Type and the DLNA profile. dLeyna-renderer now gets its MIME Type from GUPnP-DLNA and only falls back to GIO if GUPnP-DLNA can't compute the MIME Type. - For more information see: https://github.com/01org/dleyna-renderer/pull/128 dLeyna-core 0.4.0 -------------------- * Minor bug fixes dLeyna-connector-dbus 0.2.0 ----------------------------- * Updated to work with latest version of dLeyna-core.
