6.4.0 out now!

This is a great release to move to. Numerous fixes and weird bugs squashed.

The 6 branches are winding up development but API6 will continue to be extended when development has moved to Ampache 7.

@dogmazic that's great. We're starting to diverge between 6 and 7 now so really only api extension and bug fixes from now on

FYI the demo servers are moving house today.

Expect a few hours down time while they're physically moved over and I update the DNS to the new IP.

and the Ampache demo sites use these demo's.

Depending on your dns TTL sites are active again now!

Am I the only person having an issue with @ampache not playing the next song on Firefox? I'm stuck at the end of the first song. Same issue on the demo instance.

@ampache Yep, it's working on develop.ampache.dev. Can I "safely" go to this point then catch up an official release later?

ampache,
@ampache@fosstodon.org avatar

@simounet develop is going to be 6.4.0 so you can stay on develop until I release the next one.

When thats out you can use a zip or convert your branch to release6

Hello

I've updated the api docs to try and explain how the media playback processes and helper methods work.

This should help flesh out some of the details about how Ampache handles things for you.

The first #docker builds for #ampache 7 have been built!

Check out ampache/ampache:preview to see what's going on.

@usox good idea, the docker repo needs a bit of time. It's been a little left behind

@usox nosql-preview has built as of 2mins ago!

users who use transcoding!

You should update your config files to remove the K from the encode_args strings.

I'll make a note of this in the docs for our next release, but this is a possible cause of stream time-outs and other issues playing transcoded files!

I think this closes out all the streaming issues I've had and should make the processes faster if you were affected

6.3.1 is out now.

https://github.com/ampache/ampache/releases/tag/6.3.1

Just some things we've picked up over the last 2 weeks.

6.3.0 is out now!

Over 60 pulls were merged this release which is definitely a record.

Work on the with lots of new methods and updates with testing on a blank database starting all the way back on Ampache 3.9.0!

https://github.com/ampache/ampache/releases/tag/6.3.0

ampache, to python
@ampache@fosstodon.org avatar

6.3.0 is on its way soon.

I need to document and test all the new api methods, but it's structurally completed now.

The library has really been helping with my lack of time and really helps find missed bugs.

After docs it's test, build and release time. Follow the pull for details about the incoming changes.

7 has been forked into the patch7 branch

IT BEGINS!

@ampache
Thanks! Like everytime I upgrade I cross fingers, but I'm so appreciative of your work!

ampache,
@ampache@fosstodon.org avatar

@Okanogen it's gotten a lot better than when I started and I have less time to add new features and break things these days. :)

[Home automation] Is there a way to stream #audio across my home in sync with easy integration with #archlinux, #android, #upnp and optionally #spotify.

I want to be able to play anything at home, and be able to select play it in kitchen and living room.

And integration with #HomeAssistant and ideally #Ampache because my main audio library is in Ampache for now.

I was meant to be doing less work...

The changelog for 6.3 is getting large.

So large that I haven't updated it for a while. It is great to see people pick up some slack for me when time is hard to come by.

ampache, to random
@ampache@fosstodon.org avatar

For developers I want to make a clear statement.

There will not be an API7 when Ampache 7 releases. We will continue to build and extend API6.

This means no breaking changes or removals to the API for our next major version.

ampache, to php
@ampache@fosstodon.org avatar

Development of 7 will need to start this year.

I think this will ready after July 2024 and will raise the minimum version to .

It usually takes me about 6 months depending on the removals and changes. I don't intend to make major structural changes to the backend so I think that's an over estimation.

I'll fork branches for ampache7 in Feb @usox

usox,
@usox@sueden.social avatar

@ampache The work was a bit monotonous, but it was worth it. The code is clearer and phpstan now runs much faster 😃

I will improve the commit a bit more (especially documentation and tests) - probably I will be done in 1-2 days. The actual update logic won't change, but I could use some help with testing (especially updates from old versions).

You can find a preview here https://github.com/usox/ampache/commit/4a992c470d8ebf31cbbbf371994b138f77f521ee

@usox I made a few tests with old empty databases from 3.9.0.

I'll see if I can make some sql files for older versions using ampache-test to make sure there is actual content there as well. https://github.com/lachlan-00/ampache-test

6.2.1 out now!

Some hidden static typing have been found and the verify experience for catalogs is much nicer.

This isn't a big release but I like this one a lot for catching those unknown bugs.

https://github.com/ampache/ampache/releases/tag/6.2.1

lexplt,

@ampache currently running it!
I upgraded from 5.6.x, no problem detected
The Ampache Wrapped addition is a nice one too!

ampache,
@ampache@fosstodon.org avatar

@lexplt You picked a good time to jump.

I had been making my own "wrapped" by querying the sql, but I think this way is much nicer and not so in your face.

You should also find so many things are faster in 6 compared to 5. Still more work to go through, but I'm really happy with where it is right now
