Release Notes
| Tested with | Plone 2.1, Plone 2.0.5 |
|---|---|
| State | Alpha release |
| License | GPL |
| Release Manager | Nate Aune |
| Released | 2005/09/16 |
- Removed the dependency on pyid3lib/id3lib so it's easier to install. Now we are using the eyeD3 python library which is included with ATAudio.
- Embedded Flash MP3 player lets you play the audio files directly in the Plone page, without having to launch an external program. CD view has a popup to play all tracks on the CD.
- Support for additional ID3 tags such as genre and comment. Also read-only metadata such as bitrate, frequency and track length are displayed on the view pages.
- WebDAV uploads from OSX now ignore the ._file and .DS_Store, so the uploads are faster and you don't have to clean up these garbage objects.
- Caching of ID3 tags for efficiency
- Preliminary support for displaying cover art (getImage) and uploading cover art which is written back to the MP3 file (chervol)
- LinguaPlone support means that you can now add ATAudio objects in multiple languages.
Feature enhancements in this release
The following features are associated with this release:
- #1: Embed MP3 Player in browser
- Rather than require the user to launch an external media player to play the ATAudio file, I propose that we embed a player within the browser.
- #2: Eliminate pyid3lib and id3lib dependency
- Eliminate the dependency on pyid3lib and its system dependency id3lib. This will make ATAudio easier to install.
Change log
0.5.3 - 2005-09-16
- General cleanup to prepare for 0.5 release (natea)
- Added LinguaPlone support. Tested with latest 0.8.5 release (natea)
Still a problem when uploading via WebDAV. See issue #77
- Read and write the comment ID3 tag (chervol)
- Added cover art support, so you can display the image using getImage, and upload an image if the MP3 file doesn't already have a cover art image. (chervol)
0.5.2 - 2005-07-18
- Extend the genres in config.py (chervol)
- Caching of tags (chervol)
- Music Player Extended popup on audiofolder_view page (jenner)
- eyeD3 is imported by ATAudio. No need to use distutils (rockyburt)
0.5.1 - 2005-07-14
- Scraped the id3reader/id3writer in favor of eyeD3 (chervol)
- Now supports writing the tags back to the MP3 file (chervol)
0.5 - 2005-07-07
- This version of ATAudio subclasses ATFile and is therefore dependent on
ATContentTypes, the suite of Archetypes-based content types that come
standard with Plone 2.1. (natea)
- Embedded Flash player. Click on play icon to play the audio
file directly in the browser. (natea)
- Writing the ID3 tags back to the file is not supported at this time.
Please see id3writer.py if you want to help out!
- Patched the PUT_factory method in ATAudioFolder.py so that WebDAV uploads
using OSX Finder do not create .DS_Store and ._filename objects in the
Plone site. This means that we don't need the content_type_registry
workaround anymore. (natea w/ help from dreamcatcher)
