What's New for PSPRadio 
========================
0.38.08 (r990) (2006-03-31)
NEW FEATURES
(raf) Dyn/UI Plugins: Implemented albadross idea to use the plugin name to load configuration files. This allows to select different skins via the plugin menu. (Implemented for Text and Text3D plugins). (r930)
(raf) TextUI: OptionsScreen and Plugins Menu can now display more options than what fits on the line. This was implemented using a new config element in the OptionsScreen.cfg (X_RANGE) so skins will need to be revised. (r934)
	  If X_RANGE is not set, then defaults are used (r944)
(raf) Dynamic: Added Application plugins. Sample plugin added too: netscan. (If plugin stops responding, L+R+TRIANGLE can be used to return control to pspradio.).
(raf) TextUI: If the background specified in the config file is just a filename, then we look under the text ui config directory. Also, if the filename starts with "ms0:", then we asume it's a absolute path.
(raf) Dynamic: New plugin: Retawq (text based web browser).
(raf) TextUI: Added new screen config for plugins screen.
(raf) TextUI: Updated Options / Plugins screen background with new art from Semtex199.
(raf) TextUI: Support for -2 flag in config file extended to y field, and to clear rutines. (-2 = don't print)
BUG FIXES
(raf) Core: Corrected problem when reading directories, where a good read could be interpreted as bad, ended up in nothing being read at all. (r936)
(raf) Core: When changing UIs, the sound is now stopped to prevent event queue fill-ups.
(raf) TextUI: Added elements to options/plugin config files to not print music related data on these screens.

0.38.07 (r928) (2006-03-20)
NEW FEATURES
(raf) Dynamic/Core: Now UIs are selected from a new plugins menu. The menu is auto populated with available plugins. Currently supported: UIs and FSS (File system Servers.)
(raf) Dynamic/FSS: New Plugin: FTPD; not working quite right yet.
(raf) Core: Updated SHOUTcast database (2006-03-17)
BUG FIXES
(raf) png: The shutdown.png was a copy of init.png; corrected.
(raf) Core: Now in Options screen, options that have no alternatives don't have a default "Yes" (like exit pspradio).
(raf) Core: Now the sound is stopped when a screenshot is taken to prevent the event queue from backing up and the app exiting (reported by albadross) (r888)
(sandberg) 3DUI: The new plugin menu is now handled correct when switching UIs.(r909)
(raf) Core: ID3v2 decoding could crash the system on invalid tags.
(raf) Dyn/Core: Plugins now retain memory until they are removed.


0.38.06 (r881) (2006-03-02)
NEW FEATURES
(raf) Core/All: Added plugin system - this will only currently work under f/w 1.5. UIs have been converted to PRXs, as well as PSPRadio. A Loader starts PSPRadio now (on 1.5) (r817-861).
(raf) All: Reorganized hierarchy of files. And enchanced build system.
(raf) Now build generates dynamic and static releases. The dynamic release will currently only work with f/w 1.5 The static release (won't support plugins) should work on all f/w's but won't attempt loading usb/wifi drivers, so it won't have networking/usb unless provided by a loader (needs to be tested under eloader).
BUG FIXES
(raf) Core: Using the Home menu option to Exit PSPRadio should always work now. (even if the app crashed.)

0.38.05 (r820) (2006-02-17)
NEW FEATURES
(raf) Core: Added exception handler. This will display some useful information (for the developers) if/when PSPRadio crashes. (r804,805)
BUG FIXES
(sandberg) 3DUI: Rewrote the textrendering of lists and options so only one event is sent, to make it more stable (r798)
(sandberg) 3DUI: Removed the layer between the UI and the WindowManager, since it was redundant. (r799)
(sandberg) 3DUI: Rewrote several event handlers to reduce context switches and make it more stable. (r800)
(sandberg) 3DUI: Last event stuff (for now) cleaned up. The 3DUI seems quite more stable now. (r801)
(sandberg) 3DUI: Reordered the initialization, to remove reset while switching UIs. (r802)

(sandberg) 3DUI: Some of the gfxsizes setup in the configuration was used incorrect in the code (r779)
(raf) Core: Now buttons/hprm data is sent by value in the events - this could cause incorrect or erroneous data from being processed, based on timing. (r782)
(raf) Core: Eliminated possibility of certain race conditions from happening (when a stream ends). This should provide more stability/consistency on stream ends -- this applies mostly to local files. (r783)
(raf) Core: Now stream handling screen is assigned correctly when stream starts playing. (r784)
(raf) Core(OGG): Now stops parsing comments (metadata) from OGG file after TITLE and ARTIST have been retrieved. (this was causing random crashes) (r784)
(raf) Core: Corrected bug that could crash the app if the first thing the user did was NEXT or PREV with the HPRM. (r785)
(raf) All: Replaced unsafe strncpy globally with safe counterpart strlcpy().

(raf) Core: Now MP3 report the current elapsed time (r755)
(raf) TextUI: Added support to display current (implemented) and total (not implemented) time of the playing stream. (r755)

user is that the buffers were reduced by a factor of 5. Next -pre release will allow for the 
buffers to be configurable).
-Added basic multiple samplerate support!
Supported rates:
8000, 11025, 16000, 22050, 24000, 32000, 44100, 48000.
Any rate can be implemented, I just need to add it to the code, let me know if other rates are required.
Note that the samplerate conversion is really linear and simplistic, and hence the produced sound will not
be very good. Still, better than nothing.
-UI now displays buffer percentage (instead of in/out number)
-sound buffers configurable in .cfg file. Post your results!
-fixed bug where app would crash on exit if played a stream until end and then exited.
-Now the Text user interface is configurable, look at TextUI.cfg, play and post results!
-now multiple playlists are supported. The playlist configuration changed as well.. Now, you
need to put your playlist files under the PlayLists directory, and don't need to do anything
with the config file.
-The current playlist is selectable by using UP/DOWN
-cleaned up the display of playlist/stream, metadata. as 3 completely independent entities.
-Can browse playlists/entries while playing current stream. (It doesn't stop anymore when changing tracks)
-Refactoring of PSPSound/PSPSound_MP3 -> PSPSound/PSPSoundDecoder_MAD, internal OO changes.
-Thread priorities are now configurable in the .cfg file.
-Added message queue class for inter thread communications and synchronization.
-Revamped comm system for PSPApp (PSPRadio) using message q. This solves the problem with callback messaging 
(thread prio boosting/inheritance from caller, overhead on caller thread, etc. -- Also, now polling of buttons/vblank 
is done in a separate thread. -- still work in progress --).
-Message queue system renamed to event queue.. Everything is now using this, except for vblank.
-Changes to Logging to show time(in ms) and line numbers.
-Buffer Percentage is updated at 6fps max now (this to not overtax main thread+event handler)
-Now clear metadata on stream stop (including buffer %).
-more internal refactoring...
(sandberg)-Added button support to the 3D UI so it shows play/stop/pause.
(sandberg)-Added hprm (headphone remote control) support to PSPRadio. The keys are mapped to that forward/back
maps to Rtrigger/LTrigger. The Play/Pause button will start playing when stopped and stop when playing.
(jpfouch48)-Text items in GraphicsUI are now configurable thru the theme file.
(jpfouch48)-Cleaned up warning messages in GraphicsUI.
(sandberg) Added graphics for the button commands.
(raf)-added handler to have "multiple screens" - currently using for an options screen. Use TRIANGLE to get to options
screen. Only supported by text ui right now.
(raf)-The options menu is the only way for now to select a profile and start the network; so use network autostart in
the config file if using PSPRaio with another UI.
(raf)-Currently network and usb can be started from options screen. Will add CPU speed here also.
(raf)-Only restart stream on stop if different than the current stream
(raf)-(hopefully)Fixed bug where event queue was filling up causing PSPRadio to quit with event 0x31 (decoder done).
(raf)-Only display the filename for playlists now.
(raf)-Ignore buttons while HOME menu is up.

0.34 (r181)
-Corrected the mutex and semaphore implementations..
(Now logging needs more resources because of this though, so it's probably a good idea to keep high).
-Also found a bug that would cause the crash on exit (one at least).
(PSPSound's destructor was accessing the m_ThDecode without checkin if it existed first.)
-Also added USB support. Needs to be enabled in the config file. ([USB]ENABLED=1;)
-USB support is dangerous. Not recommended.
-Disabled pause for URL streams.
-Lots of internal refactoring.
-Support for playlists v2 was added.
-Now data from playlist v2 is shown, then updated when metadata arrives.
-Can force a profile now, look in the .cfg file to see how.
-Dropped the 'b' as is redundant with the -pre.
-Now when pressing L and R, the song only auto starts if the user was currently playing a song.
-Added thread exit synchronization using the semaphore. (Should help make sure the app exits correctly).
-Removed forced network profile code. (As users having problems where able to solve them themselves).
-Tweaked the playlist v2 support so that it (hopefully, test) works with winamp .pls files. (Now I just
ignore the "NumberOfEntries"/"numberofentries" tag.

0.33b (r130)
-Corrected logging, so that it won't double-line feed.
-Added connection timeout so that if the server is not respoding, PSPRadio will timeout after 5 seconds.
-The connection now sends a message (can and will be used for the gui) for now, a '.' is printed every second while trying to connect.
-New option in config file: WIFI-AUTOSTART if set to 0, then the user can select the WIFI profile from inside the app.
-Now reports an error if the user tries to start the network and the switch is off
-Metadata is now parsed
-Network profile selection now is limited to actual configured network profiles, plus it displays the network profile name.
-Reverted resolver ntoa / aton logic, to help ppl with DNS problems.
-UI now completely encapsulated as a separate object, and an interface created that all UI need to follow. - This will allow for multiple
user interfaces to coexist, and to ease transition to GUI.
-Text UI now follows the interface; was also cleaned up a bit during conversion.
-Added exit synchronization, to help prevent crashes on exit. This is done with a semaphore. 
-Keeping the loglevel at 20 seems to help prevent the app from crashing on exit also.

0.32b
-Reports of sound skipping on 0.31b. Looking at the code, I realize I forgot to do something when processing metadata.
Hopefully this is corrected now.
-Solved the problem with threads not logging. I needed to use an absolute path to the log file.
-Change your LOG_LEVEL to 50, (or more), so that it doesn't fill up your ms.
-Metadata is only logged (to log file) when it changes.
-Metadata should update faster on the screen now.


0.31b
-Corrected problem when PLAYLIST not defined in config file.
-Disabled feature to go to next song in list for now.


0.3b
-Added support for comments. Use ';' as the first character. (Blank lines are also ignored)
-Now urls with no path work (http://64.202.98.193:8000 didn't work, but http://64.202.98.193:8000/ did. Now both do).
-Now asking the server to send metadata.
-Metadata information is displayed for the current stream.
-Added a logging library
-Integrated logging with everything (framework, app, config)
-Added an event system
-Integrated the event system. This will be useful when the gui is developed.
-When a stream finishes, it goes on to the next on the playlist
-Fixed problem where the last entry in the playlist was getting inserted twice into the list.
-Having trouble getting the threads to log anything..
