jack (3.1.1-14) unstable; urgency=low
As of this version, base_dir is no longer set in /etc/jackrc. 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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)

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. If you upgrade, nothing should change ATM.
-- Michael Banck <mbanck@gmx.net> Sat, 23 Feb 2002 13:16:34 +0100
jack (2.99.7-1) unstable; urgency=low
Jack-2.99.7 had a new .jackrc layout, you'll have to move your
old .jackrc elsewhere and tune the newly generated one.
If jack fails reading the TOC(table of contents) for your
CD-drive, you can try adding
toc_prog = "cdda2wav"
or
toc_prog = "cdparanoia"
or simply
toc_prog = ripper
manually in your .jackrc.
But beware, using this is deprecated and should be a last resort.
In particular, you will lose the ability to rip CDs with data tracks,
as jack no longer will be able to compare the TOCs!
Please add to bug-nr. #118731 if you experience problems with
your CD-drive.
