New upstream release 1.4.3

Binary package hint: banshee

A new upstream was released March 4, and is already in Debian. It will need to be merged due to Gnome# 2.24. I have analysed the NEWS and ChangeLog and consider this to be a bugfix release so there is no need for FFe.

    Banshee 1.4.3 is primarily a bug fix release, and is considered stable.

    Notable bug fixes:

      * Common freeze triggered by column resizing
      * Vastly improved MTP support
      * Occasional freeze when loading some devices
      * Playing internet radio playlists blocking the UI
      * Device playlist sync
      * Some podcast files not downloadable due to illegal filename
      * Show Recommendations check box state set properly
      * Crash on delete from File System Queue
      * Minor recommendations theming issue

      * 17 bugs were FIXED since 1.4.2

2009-02-03 Gabriel Burt <email address hidden>

 This patch fixes issues with adding tracks to a MTP device, the symptoms
 of which are Banshee freezing and files not getting added (BGO #567093)

 * Dap/Banshee.Dap.Mtp/Banshee.Dap.Mtp/MtpSource.cs: Do a better job of
 locking various MTP functions.

 * Dap/Banshee.Dap.Mtp/Banshee.Dap.Mtp/MtpTrackInfo.cs: Fix bug where we
 set the filesize of the Mtp.Track to the TrackInfo's FileSize, when it
 should be set to the file size of the passed in track URI (which might be
 different than track.Uri if it was transcoded).

 * Libraries/Mtp/Mtp/Error.cs: Style fix.

 * Libraries/Mtp/Mtp/Track.cs: Treat any m4* extension as mp4.

2009-02-03 Gabriel Burt <email address hidden>

 * src/Dap/Banshee.Dap/Banshee.Dap/DapLibrarySync.cs:
 * src/Dap/Banshee.Dap/Banshee.Dap/DapSync.cs: Patch from Andrés G.
 Aragoneses, moving the removal of DAP playlists from being called on each
 LibrarySync (eg once for Music, Video, etc) to the overall DapSync, fixing
 bug where playlists didn't sync to DAPs because they were deleted when the
 PodcastSource synced (BGO #560970)

2009-02-02 Gabriel Burt <email address hidden>

 * src/Core/Banshee.Services/Banshee.MediaEngine/PlayerEngineService.cs:
 Fix bug I just introduced to TogglePlaying where if Paused we wouldn't
 start playing again when called (BGO #570051).

2009-01-30 Gabriel Burt <email address hidden>

 * src/Core/Banshee.ThickClient/Banshee.Gui/PlaybackActions.cs: Show the
 pause/stop button when Loading/Loaded.

 * src/Core/Banshee.ThickClient/Banshee.Gui.Widgets/ConnectedSeekSlider.cs:
 Handle Loading player state, set Live property on the position label, and
 use the position label's enum state property instead of a handful of bools

 * src/Core/Banshee.Services/Banshee.Streaming/RadioTrackInfo.cs: Start
 playing internet radio playlists in a separate thread to avoid blocking
 the UI (BGO #548040, BNC #376532). Handle the case where the user
 presses stop or switches to a different track while we're
 downloading/processing the playlist file (previously we would have started
 playing once ready, even if the user had already moved on). Also, fix
 bug where errors reported by the MediaEngine (GStreamer) weren't shown to
 the user.

 * src/Core/Banshee.Services/Banshee.MediaEngine/PlayerEngine.cs: If the
 engine is in PlayerState.Contacting, don't Close/stop since this is a
 state we set in managed land for loading internet radio tracks.

 * src/Core/Banshee.Services/Banshee.MediaEngine/PlayerEngineService.cs:
 Add Start/EndSynthesizeContacting internal methods for use by
 RadioTrackInfo - basically a hack until we move the playlist loading logic
 from RadioTrackInfo to the PlayerENgine to get UI bits updated
 appropriately. Fix IsPlaying to include Contacting/Loading/Loaded, so
 that TogglePlaying will Pause if in any of those states (not just if in
 the Playing state), and Play only when in Ready, Idle, or Paused.

 * src/Core/Banshee.Widgets/Banshee.Widgets/StreamPositionLabel.cs: Use an
 enum to track the player state instead of a handful of bools. Show the
 "Contacting..." label when inthe Loading state (for now - will change to
 Loading... in a separate patch).

 * src/Core/Banshee.Widgets/Banshee.Widgets/SeekSlider.cs: If the new Value
 is more than the Duration, set the Duration to MaxValue so that the slider
 stays at the left side of the Range, avoiding the glitchy-looking UI going
 from Idle (where the slider is all the way left) to playing radio (where
 it was all the way right).

 * src/Libraries/Mtp/Mtp/File.cs:
 * src/Libraries/Mtp/Mtp/Playlist.cs:
 * src/Libraries/Mtp/Mtp/Track.cs: Fix up the libmtp8 support which was
 crashing on loading MTP devices due to playlists (BGO #542117, BNC #470722)

2009-01-29 Gabriel Burt <email address hidden>

 * src/Dap/Banshee.Dap/Banshee.Dap/DapService.cs: Patch from Félix Velasco
 removing unnecessary lock that was causing some hangs (BGO #559479)

2009-01-27 Gabriel Burt <email address hidden>

 * src/Extensions/Banshee.FileSystemQueue/Banshee.FileSystemQueue/FileSystemQueueSource.cs:
 Set CanDeleteTracks to false until we actually implement DeleteTrack.

2009-01-27 Gabriel Burt <email address hidden>

 * src/Extensions/Banshee.FileSystemQueue/Banshee.FileSystemQueue/FileSystemQueueSource.cs:
 Fix crash on delete from FSQ (BNC #467377)
