This release changes the FilePlayer module
responsible for MP3s and Oggs; menus are now
generated on the fly, rather than requiring the
user to configure the file tree manually. Many new
input and output device drivers have also been
added.
The device drivers were redesigned with OO, Ogg Vorbis support was added to mpg123, and speed enhancements, an IceCast client, and a GPS client were added. xaudio support was removed, and a Java cxterm client was included.
This release adds LCDProc support, HD44780 serial backpack support,
on-the-fly playlist support, and on/off backlight support (timer-based
control is coming in the next release). CrystalFontz display support
has been fixed. FM-V4L display has been enhanced.
After a year and a half of work, Cajun 4 is nearing a full release, and is
quite ready for general use. Cajun 4 is a complete redesign and rewrite of the
Cajun 3 software. It now supports multiple audio streams, multiple input/output
devices per stream, different-sized displays running at the same time, a
backend SQL database (MySQL), and Web administration via Apache.
