  as configuration file.
- script/dr_symlinks, setup: moved oggsymlinks from /usr/bin/ to
  /usr/share/draai/.
- script/dr_file2tag: added: build tag info from filename, for dealing
  with badly tagged audio files.

    in environment


draai version 20080614

- draai: "peek" and "tail" command: nicer layout: time is rightadjusted.
- draai: add zsh tabcompletion for "osjittisstil", "resume" and "pause".


draai version 20080516

- dr_push: minor improvement.
- draai: new (yet undocumented) commands "pause" and "resume".
- draai: new command "osjittisstil".
- draai: "tail" command gives nicer layout.
- draai: command "skip" now honors --sloppy even more.
- draai: command "peek" no longer chokes when no playlist is loaded
  (used to give ugly errormessages from tail).
- mp3symlinks: now less verbose.
- oggsymlinks: now honors DR_DEBUG environment variable.


draai version 20080301

- draai: new option --sloppy.  this enhances the "skip" command: it no longer
  gives a little squak after fadeout on old hardware.  (the 20080213 release
  did _not_ fix this...).  the default behaviour of "skip" is to be cautious,
  and wait.  passing --sloppy makes skip behave somewhat more aggresive.


draai version 20080229

- fix bug in ./setup: honor --libexecdir.
- draai: "init" no longer calls xterm, but the (Debian-specific) wrapper
  x-terminal-emulator.


draai version 20080228

- draai: new commands: "unguestlist", "init".
- draai: enhanced command "peek": do not show 10 but 30 upcoming tracks per
  default; honor --raw; also show detailed status of current track.
- draai: enhanced command "list": now honors --raw.
- dr_mount, dr_push: helper scripts added, for interfacing with usb-enabled
  mp3 players.  installed in libexecdir/draai per default.
- updated zsh tabcompletion stuff: new draai commands.


draai version 20080217

- draai: new commands: "logtail", "fastforward", "guestlist".
- draai: another bugfix in "delete" command.


draai version 20080214

- major scripts now licensed under GPL v3 or later.
- install dr_permutate manpage.
- fixed bug in "draai delete" (it acted as a no-op).


draai version 20080213

- do no longer abort current track when using "draai" command, but schedule
  our playlist just after the current track.
- draai now is more usable for DJ's:
  + implemented "delete" command.
- fix bug introduced with "improved" skip: get rid of little squaks after
  fadeout due to timing troubles.
- install cdrip(1) and its manpage.


draai version 20080212

- draai now is more usable for DJ's:
  + improved "skip" command: now does fadeout.
- oggsymlinks now honors environment variables DR_VERBOSE and DR_DRYRUN.
- mp3symlinks runs oggsymlinks in verbose-mode by default.


draai version 20080209

- oggsymlinks: backend script added.  Contributed by Wessel Dankers.
- mp3symlinks: reimplemented as a wrapper for oggsymlinks.
- dr_permutate: new name for permutate.
- The draai Debian package is now published.  Thanks to Tilburg University
  for hosting it.


draai version 20070823

- permutate, mp3symlinks: two simple scripts added, get installed in
  /usr/local/bin.  They're useful to me.
- cdrip: found another old script, now shipped with draai.  This script is
  not installed by default.
- By default (i.e. if -S is not given), run "mpc random off" since
  enabling random mode interacts badly with a shuffled playlist.
  Thanks Wessel Dankers for bugreport.


draai version 20070326

- Installs zsh completion function for draai.
- Improved "tail" command: fix small bug in layout.


draai version 20070321

- Improved "tail" command: add --raw option; don't print month, day or seconds.
- Improved "quit" command: fade out more cleanly, fix bug: restore original
  volume after fade out.


draai version 20070320

- Improved "quit" command: now does a fade out; no longer gives stuff on
  stdout, so that the at job won't generate an email message.
- Improved "tail" command: don't print year.
- Fix bug in --time option, triggered when no "+" in timespec.
- New build system: no longer needs python; reimplemented setup script
  in zsh.
- New setup script offers "install" and "dist" command.


draai version 20070319

- Enable crossfade mode for mpc.

- New commands: "tail", "quit".
- New option: "--noshuffle".
- Improved manpage and README.


draai version 20070314

- Reimplemented as a zsh shell script, wrapping mpc(1).  No more python, no
  more calling ogg123 or mpg321 directly.  Lots of subcommands are gone, lots
  of options are gone.  Lots have been added too.  Check the manpage.


draai version 20060430
