<h2>deadbeef-0.2.0 is out!</h2>
<p>2009/09/08</p>
<p><a href="#download">get it!</a></p>
<p>Changelog since 0.1.1:</p>
<p><i>please note this changelog is what most users should notice. actual changelog is 10 times bigger, and is not worth reading. i don't want to count each of 1000 bugfixes here.</i></p>
<ul>
<li>plugin API - decoder and misc plugins working, other types are work in progress</li>
<li>most decoders are in plugins now, which means that most dependencies are optional (libmad, libFLAC, etc)</li>
<li>global hotkeys plugin</li>
<li>last.fm scrobbler plugin</li>
<li>added help page (under help menu)</li>
<li>huge amount of performance tweaks (including power consumption tweaks)</li>
<li>cuesheets embedded into FLAC's vorbis comments</li>
<li>24 bit flac support</li>
<li>$XDG_CONFIG_HOME env variable support</li>
<li>APE format support through libdemac</li>
<li>launcher (.desktop) file</li>
<li>scroll follows playback (optional)</li>
<li>no more "?" when no track number in tags</li>
<li>fixed seekbar accuracy bug</li>
<li>improved cuesheet reader</li>
<li>cuesheet text charset detection (utf8, iso8859-1, cp1251)</li>
<li>improved mp3 parser (better vbr duration calc, more accurate seeking, etc)</li>
<li>fixed bug when starting files from command line using relative paths</li>
<li>fixed order/loopmode session saving</li>
<li>fixed id3v2.2 reader</li>
<li>focus/deiconify window on trayicon click</li>
<li>X button no longer minimizes to tray by default (configurable)</li>
<li>search is now accessible from menu</li>
<li>column sizes are now saved between sessions</li>
<li>select multiple folders in "add folder(s)" dialog</li>
</ul>
<h2>tag loading/recoding policy</h2>
<p>2009/09/06</p>
<ul>
<li>id3v1 loader will always try to detect cp1251.</li>
<li>id3v2 loader will only try to detect cp1251 if encoding is not specified.</li>
<li>vorbis comment tags (both in ogg vorbis and flac files) and APE tags
(both in ape and mp3 files) must always be utf8, so no detection will be
done here.</li>
<li>id3v2 tags with encoding explicitly set to iso8859-1 will always be
loaded as iso8859-1. period.</li>
<li>id3v2 tags inserted into flac files will be ignored.</li>
<li>8bit charsets other than cp1251 and iso8859-1 (like koi8-r) are not
supported now, but might be added in the future.</li>
</ul>
<h2>APE support status</h2>
<p>2009/09/01</p>
<p>a lot of people are asking me about whether deadbeef is going to support APE (Monkey's Audio Codec) format.</p>
<p>indeed, support is already in plugins branch, and everyone brave enough can try it. it's not fully finished yet, but working.</p>
<p>unique feature of deadbeef is that it supports BOTH ape decoders available for linux: libmac (unofficial port of official sdk with crappy license), and libdemac (unofficial decoder licensed under GPL, developed by <a href="http://www.rockbox.org/">rockbox</a> people)</p>
<p>here's some interesting info:</p>
<p>mac decoder takes extra 10 megabytes of memory for itself (that's approximately same size, as taken by whole deadbeef player with all plugins except mac decoder!)</p>
<p>mac decoder may take up to 5 seconds to seek or start playback</p>
<p>libdemac takes almost no memory for itself, i would say i take around 250K for streaming (which is gonna be shared with other decoders btw)</p>
<p>libdemac is approximately 2 times slower, than libmac</p>
<p>worst case i've seen until now was 40% cpu time on libdemac, while 20% cpu time on libmac (3GHz Xeon CPU, same .ape file with extreme compression)</p>
<p>that's it for now!</p>
<p>happy listening</p>

<h1 id='about'>About</h1>
<p>DeaDBeeF (as in 0xDEADBEEF) is an audio player for GNU/Linux systems with X11.</p>
<p>Current alpha version features:</p>
<ul>
<li>written in C99 except sid module, because of libsidplay2, which only has a C++ API (though some 3rd party libraries are entirely in C++)</li>
<li>mp3, ogg vorbis, flac</li>
<li>reading id3 v1, v2.2, v2.3, v2.4, apev2, xing/info tags for mp3</li>
<li>character set detection for non-unicode id3 tags - supports cp1251 and iso8859-1</li>
<li>unicode tags are fully supported as well (both utf8 and ucs2)</li>
<li>cuesheet support for mp3, ogg and flac</li>
<li>sid and some popular chiptune formats like nsf</li>
<li>tracker modules like mod, s3m, it, xm, etc</li>
<li>HVSC song length database support for sid</li>
<li>gtk2 interface with custom highly speed/memory optimized widgets</li>
<li>no GNOME or KDE dependencies - just gtk2 and several small libraries</li>
<li>minimize to tray, with scrollwheel volume control</li>
<li>drag and drop, both inside of playlist, and from filemanagers and such</li>
<li>control playback from command line (allows global hotkeys using xbindkeys)</li>
<li>seeking works in all supported formats</li>
<li>duration calculation is as precise as possible for vbr mp3 files (with and without xing/info tags)</li>
<li>fully functional on x86 and x86_64 architectures. ppc and ppc64 support untested, but may work as well</li>
</ul>
