The + reason for this is that there is no standard location for sound or + media files and users may be surprised to find their files in ~/jack + (the previous default of base_dir). jack will now by default put + the files in the current working directory. You're welcome to set + base_dir in ~/.jack3rc (or /etc/jackrc) if you have a more appropriate + location. + + -- Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com> Wed, 11 Jan 2006 13:51:32 +0000 + +jack (3.0.0-1) experimental; urgency=low + + The configuration has changed fundamentally with jack-3.0.0. + There is now a system-wide configuration file /etc/jackrc and + the user configuration files have been renamed to ~/.jack3rc. + Further, jack now has a simple scheme to set options permanently, + by adding --save to the command-line. This is the preferred way + to set options, as the syntax of the jackrc file has changed. + See the commented out options in /etc/jackrc for examples of + useful options and how to set them. + + -- Michael Banck <mbanck@debian.org> Sat, 28 Feb 2004 21:30:43 +0000 + +jack (2.99.9-6) unstable; urgency=low + + jack now features a '--cddb-id' option, which lets you specify a + freedb CDDB id, even though jack calculates a different one. You + need to specify an ID3 genre via '-G/--id3-genre' for the freedb + lookup, too. Note that this option has not been applied or even + accepted upstream yet and is suspect to change in a later version. + + -- Michael Banck <mbanck@debian.org> Sun, 31 Aug 2003 00:52:11 +0200 + +jack (2.99.9-2) unstable; urgency=low + + Alban Browaeys has pointed out that invalid OGG Vorbis tags are produced + under certain circumstances. While the OGG Vorbis specification requires + that the field contents is encoded in UTF-8, jack up to 2.99.9-1 wrote + an ASCII string to the field. This has been fixed in 2.99.9-2. + Fortunately, you do not have to re-encode your OGG files. Rather, you + can use jack's -R (rename) feature to simply update the OGG Vorbis tags. + A script is supplied which takes care of this automatically. Simply change + to the directory you keep your OGG files in, and run the script. For + example, if your OGG files are in /media/ogg, you have to do: + + $ cd /media/ogg + $ /usr/share/doc/jack/fix-vorbis-tags.pl + + -- Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com> Sun, 22 Dec 2002 21:53:22 +0100 + +jack (2.99.9-1) unstable; urgency=low + + Jack now features an undocumented option to turn off + cdparanoia's --abort-on-skip option. The option's name is + --I-swear-I'll-never-give-these-files-to-anyone,-including-hot-babes-TM + Only use this option (if at all) when you already know that a CD will + not get ripped OK, as this means that unsuccesful rips will be + unnoticed. You have been warned and will continue on your own risk. + + -- Michael Banck <mbanck@debian.org> Tue, 3 Sep 2002 02:26:19 +0200 + +jack (2.99.8-2) unstable; urgency=low + + It is now preferred to specify the vbr_quality rather than a + bitrate. You can do this by adding vbr_quality = $QUALITY to + your ~/.jackrc, $QUALITY being an integer from 0 (worst + quality, smallest files) to 10 (best quality, biggest files) + + Average bitrates for oggenc will be around 70-100 for 0 up to + 300-500 kbit/s for 10. vbr_quality = 5 (the default if you don't + specify the switch in your ~/.jackrc) will be around 150-170 + kbit/s. Please let me know if you get completely different bit- + rates so I can tune the default. Note that lame and gogo do + support this switch, too, but at least lame will have a much + slimmer bandwidth for the bitrate (from 100-200 kbit/s) than + oggenc. + + If you want to keep using the bitrate (I've been told that the + quality would be inferior at the same filesize), you can switch + the comments in /usr/bin/jack, line 425/426, or add a new helper + section like helpers['oggenc-local'] = {'type':"encoder"[...]"""} + to your ~/.jackrc(see end of auto-generated ~/.jackrc for an example) + + -- Michael Banck <mbanck@debian.org> Fri, 24 May 2002 20:40:07 +0200 + +jack (2.99.7-4) unstable; urgency=low + + base_dir is now set to 'environ['HOME'] + "/jack"' (i.e. ~/jack) + when a new .jackrc is created. This is in preparation for a jack + menu item, so that jack does not dump the OGGs in the directory + you started X from.
