randomplay (0.60) unstable; urgency=low
* New options --older-than and --newer-than, to only play files whose
modification times are respectively older or newer than given date or time
interval (e.g., --newer-than 1Y = files newer than one year old).
* Allow alternative forms of expressing 'last played by' date for --days
option as with --older-than and --newer-than.

-- Adam Rosi-Kessel <ajkessel@debian.org> Thu, 16 Mar 2006 10:44:24 -0500

2005
randomplay (0.49) unstable; urgency=low
* Add support for toggle "pause" key, default 'p'. Thanks to Simon Hart for
the patch.

who don't have UTF-8 xterm. Thanks to Gregor Herrmann for the patch.
(Closes: #337783).
* Add new keystroke to list available keystrokes while playing, default '?'
or 'h'.
* Improved sample randomplayrc with more comments and options. You can use
the sample randomplayrc as a template for all settings.

randomplay (0.48) unstable; urgency=low

2004
randomplay (0.46-1) unstable; urgency=low
* If a specified player is not available, just don't play files of that
type, rather than halt program all together (except if no players are
available).
* Update documentation.
* Remove sound-recorder recommendation; if you want to play anything other
than mp3 and ogg files, you should choose the players you prefer.
-- Adam Rosi-Kessel <ajkessel@debian.org> Sun, 5 Sep 2004 10:06:57 -0400
randomplay (0.45-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Remove WAV file player from defaults; most people don't include WAVs in
their music collections (I think!) and this way randomplay will start in
the default configuration even if you don't have sound-recorder installed.
(Closes: #269541).
* Fix bug where only alphabetical (rather than alphanumeric) extensions
could be configured in .randomplayrc; now you can define a player for mp3
files. (Closes: #269540).
-- Adam Rosi-Kessel <ajkessel@debian.org> Wed, 1 Sep 2004 21:46:25 -0400
randomplay (0.44-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Rewrite option processing to eliminate unnecessary variables (i.e.,
"$norandom") thanks to Long::Getopt "negate!" option.
* Reorganize options on manpage into sensible groups.

randomplay (0.42-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix errors in sample randomplayrc.
* Add more flexibility to randomplayrc interpretation; can add arbitrary
whitespaces anywhere without harm, and make ( [ { interchangeable.
* Check to make sure base directory exists, if specified.
* Keystrokes are now user-definable at command line or in ~/.randomplayrc.
* Should look for files with mp3 extension, not mpg extension.
* Update documentation.
-- Adam Kessel <ajkessel@debian.org> Fri, 20 Aug 2004 11:50:15 -0400

randomplay (0.41-1) unstable; urgency=low

randomplay (0.40-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Initial Debian release. (Closes: #266919).
-- Adam Kessel <ajkessel@debian.org> Thu, 19 Aug 2004 16:46:01 -0400
randomplay (0.39-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New random weighting functionality: hit + or - while a song is playing to
increase or decrease its probability of being played in future random
shuffles, or 0 or = to reset preference.
* Improved randomization algorithm: should really be random now.
* New switch --weight/--noweight to specify whether or not to use random
weighting.
* New switch --verbose; if not specified then output from music player
programs is suppressed.
* New behavior for --quiet: if specified, randomplay will not report the
name of each song as it is played.
* Removed --altcancel option; it is no longer necessary now that you can
advance songs or cancel randomplay with keystrokes.
* Display track metadata before each track is played if available; otherwise
display filename.
* Updated manpage for new options and keystrokes while song is playing
* Improved documentation; include README, TODO, and sample randomplayrc,
fixed some erroneous references in Debian documentation.
* Fixed makefile so it works without dpkg-buildpackage.
* Fixed a bunch of warnings that appear when perl -w is used.
* Added option to quit after the current playing song is done (default key
'l').
* Can now process arbitrary filename extensions, either at command line or
in ~/.randomplayrc, so could potentially be used for activities other than
playing music.
* Implement hack to kill children processes when randomplay is run from
shell script; this will likely limit randomplay's portability.
* Check that players are in path and executable before playing.
* Add in several more error/sanity checks for file permissions.
