See the mpd.conf man page or updated mpconf.example for +more information on these parameters. + +Support for the ID3v2 "Original Artist/Performer" tag has been added. Your +MP3s will need to be rescanned for these tags to be included in the database. +This can be done by running mpd --create-db. + +Upgrading to 0.12.0 +------------------- + +The ao_driver and ao_driver_options config parameters have been removed and +replaced with the audio_output config section. You will have to update your +config file to use this instead. See the mpd.conf man page or the new +mpdconf.example for details on specifying audio_output sections. + +The db_file parameter is no longer optional. If you did not specify it in your +old config file then you will have to add it in order to run 0.12.0. + +Support for OggFLAC and Musepack audio files has been added. Additionally, +scanning of MP3 files has been improved. To make use of these updates it is +highly recommended that you run mpd --create-db to recreate your entire +database. + +Upgrading to 0.11.0 +------------------- + +The database format has changed a little bit, but in a backward compatible way. +This means that if you upgrade to 0.11.0 from 0.10.x, you do not need to make +any changes. However, if you downgrade back to 0.10.x, then you will need +to recreate your db. + +The default port for MPD is now 6600, so update your mpd and client +configurations appropriately. + +Upgrading to 0.10.0 +------------------- + +All information is now stored in the db in UTF-8 format, and the character +set used for the filesystem is stored in the db. Thus, it is highly +recommended that you recreate the db. To do so, run mpd with the +"--create-db" command line option. Also, note that the filesystem +character set will be determined from your current locale settings. +If your locale settings are not the same as those used for the filesystem, +then use the config file parameter "filesystem_charset" to specify the +correct character set (this maybe necessary if you create the db with root). + +Upgrading to 0.9.3 +------------------ + +Wave support was added, so to have your wave files added, update the db (mpc +update). + +Also, song lengths are now stored in the db. To get this stuff +added to the db, you will need to recreate the db from scratch. To do this, +run mpd with the "--create-db" commandline option. + +Upgrading to 0.9.0 +------------------ + +The "stop_on_error" config parameter was removed, so be sure to remove this +parameter from your config file. + +Upgrading to 0.8.x +------------------ + +If you have FLACs, then to have them added to your list of available music, +just use "update". + +Upgrading from 0.5.x to 0.6.x +----------------------------- +If you have not compiled MPD with "make ogg", then nothing is needed. + +If you compiled with "make ogg", just use "update" (available via the phpMp +interface) to add your OGGs to MPD's list of available music. |
