- covers are obtained directly from tags during initial scan, so you will see them right ahead when you open music view

- if by any chance you notice a http server on port 41075 while running XenoAmp, it's a server that will allow streaming from your samba shares, it supports only requests of the form: http://127.0.0.1:41075/smb%3A%2F%2F<full smb path follows here>, but unless you manually create a playlist with smb:// path, this server is not stared

- If my streaming server works you'll be able to play files from your SMB shares very soon

RELEASE 0.30

- Improved gesture detection on main screen: it doesn't matter where you begin the gesture now, a real curve detection algorithm for vol/up down gesture

- Fixed Xeno sweep widgets disappearing on sweep

- You can get into TagEditor and play, but it doesn't update anything yet (sweep header to change tracks)

RELEASE 0.28

- Cosmetic changes for google Play release (you might skip that one and wait for new features).

- Filebrowser: doubleclick header to play

- Filebrowser: play directory from track/dir context menu

- Filebrowser: default sort by title, not track number

- Many internal changes (playback manager, playlist manager) that should be transparent to users, unless new bugs got introduced. Should be much more memory and resource friendly when stabilised.

- Fixed: weird behaviour on removal of current track from current playlist

RELEASE 0.24

- Calibration data for new devices: GT-I9000B, GT-S7500L, GT-S5360B, runnymede, ST15i, hallon, grouper.

- Tutorial for those... less adventurous. Check it out, maybe you'll learn something new!

- Fixed JB volume bug on gapless playback

- Fixed room calibration phase, now it works as expected

- Embedded lyrics view

- White skin enabled, still needs much work, though.

RELEASE 0.22

- Fixed ugly 2.3.x notification to standard look

- Case insensitive sorting (might still be case sensitive in some places, so tell me)

- Headphone and room calibrators work, you have to field test them, though. May require tuning. No equalizer profiles yet, so... you'll have to remember your settings ;) Do not turn off or rotate your device during calibration, as I didn't have time to handle it.

- Presistent playlists. Live through XenoAmp deinstallation. You have to copy you current playlists from XenoAmp data to /XenoAmp manyally

RELEASE 0.21

- Just a Hotfix for 2.3.x Androids

RELEASE 0.20 (CONSERVATIVE HOTFIX)

- Turn on Android notifications by default

- Make beta version disclaimer less intimidating

- Slow down scrolling speed on sheet

- So much for wackiness: disable horizontal dragging of rows whose length is less than screen width

- On first run after database scan main playlist is filled with 10 random albums so no more menacing "playlist empty" or pervert "touch me".

- Better use tablet screenspace

- Add notification media buttons (already on todo)

Regular changes:

- Fixed playlist name cutoff on ldpi

- New DJ: 10 random albums

- Headeset buttons - may be fixed, try it.

NEW RELEASE 0.17

- Fixed volume problem (used log as scalar, supid!)

- Fixed: exiting screens brings back to WPS (was: There is a problem, that I cannot go from playlist screen back to main screen without playing music. Pressing back key, after I e.g. enabled my BT headphones in settings then switched back to app puts me back to BT settings menu...which is frustrating. Add some sort of gesture or key for general in-app back)

- I've ordered a bluetooth receiver with media buttons to test problems with media buttons :D

- Fixed DSP discovery on broken ROMs. Now you can at least use Bears Audio...

- Cleaned lots of calibrator code to prepare it for GUI, outpurt of uncorrected (=useless) room frequency response in logcat

- Preliminary headphone calibration, you can hear it generating tones, but no useful adjustments are applied yet. If you want to test your ears/headphones combination, sit in a prefectly quiet environment and ask someane to take a note from logcat when you hear each freq :D

RELEASE 0.16

- Better responsiveness during scan.

- Fixed by brute force: Clearing currently playing playlist causes some strange side effects

- New DJ: all tracks (wonder how many tracks will make out of memory error...)

- New DJ: random 100 tracks

- Preliminary tag-embedded lyrics support, you can see it in logcat (LyricsWiki will not be searched in such case!)

RELEASE 0.15

- Fixed volume issue

- Silent mode doesn't turn off on my device. How about your?

- Fixes: dsp working as expected on JB (was: Check chained dsp in JB)

RELEASE 0.14

- fix scanning on machines that have their storage monted via fuse

- save (last) scroll position in file browser mode

- fixed one FC in filebrowser

- fixed Korean (and probably all other) font displays. QUESTION: Which languages need scroll direction and prev/next directions swapped?

- fixed various database threading issues

- fixed loooooong artist display on WPS

- equalizer now has "flatten" button that will reset it and turn off to save cpu

- fixed eq display behaving strange on drag

- fixed last band on eq display looking stupid

- Turkish translation (thanks Translater)

- fixed: "The player turns silent mode off automatically".

- In your face Spinal Tap! My Amp goes to +50! Volume is now 50 steps for extreme fine tune and preserved from session to session.

- Fix temporary audiofocus loss

- How do you like new icon?

RELEASE 0.13 (Google market release)

- Fixed some crashes connected to database

- Fixed next track after sort

- Fixed FC in file browser

- Fixed various FCs from 0.12

RELEASE 0.12

- Massive amount of FC bugfixes

- Improved db interaction stability

- Incorporated Google Music Play API, and removed it again, as it created some crazy compilation memory requirements. Since Google Music is available only in the U.S.A., I need someone brave from there to test it.

- Framework for detecting your Android facilities. If after this update you don't see anything in EQ (or XenoAmp crashes immediately...) it means your EQ engine is broken. Ask your ROM chief! (was: Detect and disable cheating Androids (the ones that claim they're higher versions that really are) - this causes many FCs, because xenoamp uses features based on API level. Some ROMS clam to be JellyBean, but surprisingly don't support JellyBean APIs!)

- Nomedia management fixed

- First changes for low DPI devices, tell me if you see them in playlists and filebrowser (sheet probably left untouched).

- Low DPI devices will get Base Icon size of 100x100, meaning that covers will be kept at 100x100 pixels and existing tag/cover.jpg files will be used if greater than 100x100 px. Existing xenoamp covers won't be resised, you have to delete them (or mass resize with favourite tool).

- Put back Beats Audio hack discovery into Xeno EQs.

- Fixed nonresponsiveness while db scanning (that includes pausing current track).

- Allow zoom out in sheet by click on row name

- Pref: completely disable rating

- Pref: stop phone from locking while xenoamping

- Pref: allow Android notification bar instead of xeno (looks cr*p, but customer is always right!)

- Fixed: JellyBean - next track often out of sync with current playlist

- Did I mention media scanning improvements?

RELEASE 0.11

- Another fix for initial scanning (sheeeeesh...)

- Due to reintroducing SMB components and preparation to SMB streaming, big internal change to audiotrack object, should be transparent to users, but could also break a lot, as it is used everywhere in XenoAmp (works here, he, he...)

RELEASE 0.10

Skip

RELEASE 0.9

- Probably fixed crash on 2.x.x

- Annotated database scan so your logcats have more info

- Fixed progress circle not working in first quarter.

RELEASE 0.8

- Lockscreen widget on ICS and later - alive and kicking (earlier Androids will get only xenoampy widget, sorry! ...but then again maybe you won't be sorry if you see it)

- Finally fix this f#$!?* file scanning on all devices? Don't know. You tell me!

RELEASE 0.7

- Bugfix release, detect broken AdioFX on some devices. ("Effect library not loaded" exception)

- For me: getting crash reports from widgets, until now I wasn`t aware something`s wrong (and never had any problem with widgets)

- Test lockscreen widget, as it keeps coming back to me like a boomerang. (not visible for users)

- Bigger filesize due to reintegration of smb (not yet enabled)

RELEASE 0.6

- Managing .nomedia by Xeno file browser (requested also as: Allow user to choose which folders to scan). From file/directory context menu you can flip folder .nomedia status (works upward to highest .nomedia).

- Changing default cover image (the white-with-note one) - i think I'll start competition for replacement art. XenoAmp default cover image competition

- Switching play/pause with rating (you know what I mean?)

- Phone jack preference works as expected

- Quick and dirty: displaying results of MusicBrainz queries (no updates to db yet, as "smart" syncing still needs tuning), go to sheet view, select "Smart tag sync" from context menu. Results may vary.

- Bugfix for media scan for users who have their media mounted in /

RELEASE 0.5

- Faster initial scan - during first run only your current media folders will be scanned (only the folders that Android is aware of). If you force scan from prefs it will scan all mounted vfat, cifs and ext* media. (If you want to check this feature, or your media didn't get scanned before, PLEASE UNINSTALL COMPLETELY to remove current database).

- .nomedia is now recursive

- some bug fixes, based on your reports and BugSense

RELEASE 0.4

- Fixed db scanning on JellyBean. Media scanner will pick all mounted vfat and cifs filesystems, no unneeded directories scanned.

RELEASE 0.3

PLEASE UNINSTALL COMPLETELY BEFORE REINSTALLING!

Release 0.3 has the following fixed:

- Android 2.2.x Should be working, but since I don't have a 2.2.x machine, I can't check it.

- Completely new media scanning engine, shouldn't cause out of memory, should scan all your mounted media.

- Showing lyrics should now work every time.

- Title scrolling too fast on low DPI devices

- Clock overlapping battery on low DPI

- Pinch to zoom crash

- Sorting tracks by title and trackno in filebrowser view, sheet view and playlist widget. If you need any other kind of sort - tell me.

Do remember, that playlist names and directory names have a context menu (long press) and react to click (toggle selection), so you can easily select all tracks in sheet tile or whole directory in filebrowser mode!

- Corrected date of addition to db, date of last play bug, the flow view is now fully functional

- Cover images from jpegs in folders. Priority is now: 1) mp3 embedded if bigger than 300x300, 2) any *.jp(e)g file in track's dir or parent dir, if bigger than 300x300, 3) internet search

- Lots of small bugs -

THANKS TO ALL THE TESTERS!
