Another beta release 2.1.7
Some more internal fixes and kludges were applied.
The perhaps most interesting addition is support for Drag'n'drop
- Now it's not likely to be used much in reality. But was an important milestone, despite the development tears it incurred.
- Streamtuner2 was always meant as data source, not just self-centric data hording.
- DND required a little more cleanup to the internal playlist conversion system. But now really simplifies bookmarking radios to preferred audio players or playlist managers.
- Now it's not likely to be used much in reality. But was an important milestone, despite the development tears it incurred.
The configuration dialog got a little overhaul for clearness.
Channel and feature plugins were split into separate tabs.The UbuntuUsers plugin got bundled per default.
Temporary files don't pollute
/tmp
anymore. Instead there's now a/tmp/streamtuner2/
subdirectory created on startup. Andreuse_m3u
gets honored meanwhile.Jamendo "feeds" are now supported, because the JAMJSON playlist type gets internally converted. Thus the deprecated v2 API isn't used any longer.
As further workaround for Python3 on Gtk3 there's now a no-threading mode or
--nt
cmdline option.
