netjuke1.0b16 released

Hi there,

1.0b16 is available for download from http://netjuke.sf.net/

Please see the homepage or changelog below for more information.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


VERSION 1.0b16: 2002-11-03 (EST: Montreal, PQ, Canada)


1.  THIS VERSION IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH PHP 4.1 AND ABOVE.

     This new version brings the first incarnation of the long-awaited
     jukebox feature (server-play), adds RealAudio support to the 
Recursive
     Audio File Finder, uses md5 encryption for user passwords in the 
database,
     removes the cookie requirement for clients not accepting or 
supporting
     them, now supports apache 2, fixes some problems with the app and 
the
     installer, and more. See below for install/upgrade instructions, 
and to
     see what's new and fixed.


2.  UPGRADING FROM 1.0b14, b15, b15.1 or b15.2:

       You MUST RUN THE UPGRADE PROCESS of the installer to add the new
       database columns required by this version, and/or convert the
       existing user passwords to the new md5 format.

     + CLEAN INSTALL as second install:

       If you already have a copy of the netjuke running, but want to
       start fresh, remember to drop the existing netjuke database.
       You can also use the delete scripts delivered in the 
netjuke-toolkit
       if you cannot drop and create databases.

       You can also create a new database to be accessed by this version,
       if you want to keep your old version running as well, and simply
       test this one.

       After that, see netjuke/docs/INSTALL.txt and MAINTAIN.txt for 
details.


3.  Added first incarnation of the jukebox feature (server-play).

     See associated paragraphs in netjuke/docs/MAINTAIN.txt for
     full details.

     Currently supports mpg123, mpg321, ogg123 and winamp.

     Mac OSX users can get mpg123 from http://macosx.forked.net
     or http://www.osxgnu.org. It works great on my Mac. :o)


4.  Now using md5 one-way encryption for user passwords in the database.


5.  The netjuke can also support non-cookie-enabled browsers/tools, but 
the
     cookie-less sessions are less secure than the ones with cookie.


6.  Improvements and fixes for recursive functions of the Audio File 
Finder.


7.  Revised code that was generating 404 errors in the http server's log
     It was "normal", but I found another way to do what I needed.


8.  New documentation file at docs/MAINTAIN.txt, extracted from the
     docs/ INSTALL.txt file.


9.  Now using SCRIPT_NAME or PHP_SELF, and SCRIPT_FILENAME or
     PATH_TRANSLATED in case one is not available, in both the
     netjuke and its installer.


10. Upgraded to getid3 1.5.4.

     See http://getid3.sourceforge.net/getid3.changelog.txt for more 
info.


11. Added support for RealAudio format scanning in the recursive audio
     file finder, thanks to getid3 1.5.2 and up.

     People ripping their music using the RealPlayer will now be able to
     add their music automatically.


12. Added master-inc-prefs.php and obfuscate-db-passwd.php to 
netjuke-toolkit

     These tools will help users and developers to install a copy of the
     netjuke without using the web based installer. See these tools and
     the sql scripts delivered with the netjuke-toolkit package.


13. Changed windows detection scheme in recursive audio file finder


14. Changed all "<?=" for "<?php echo " and "<?" for "<?php" for
     increased portability.


15. Updated code to help with international characters (Russian, etc.).

     - Changed character encoding for display.

     - Created a new language preference file (inc-langprefs.php) in each
       locale sub-directory to hold the charset and alphabet values.

     - The alphabet tables on the Browse page (etc.) are now dynamically
       generated to be able to handle more characters, or replace them.


16. Fixed a problem with IIS when saving playlists. The server was being
     shutdown for no apparent reason. This should now not be the case.


17. Upgraded to ADODB 2.43.
