This release is only for historical reasons. It doesn't work
Some new and so handy features has landed to this release along with few bugfixes and some internal changes. This is probably the most full-packed release after the initial one!
Changelog
- Features
- Friends and groups music. This is as simple as copying a link to a person\group from your browser address bar to VK Plugin search text box (e.g. to listen to my own music just copy this link https://vk.com/scorpp; groups work in similar manner). (partially by @ga2mer)
- Recommended music. Now VK music recommendation are also available in plugin. (by @ga2mer)
- Force plain HTTP for track. In some builds deadbeef's curl plugin is unable to handle tracks over HTTPS. That was an annoying issue for many users and now plugin feature an option to force plain HTTP even if VK API provided and HTTPS link. No need to switch off 'Alway use HTTPS' option on vk.com. Plugin option disabled by default.
- Bugfixes
- Fixed broken search target behaviour (search anywhere\artist\title). Now changing it is properly stored in configuration and refreshes search results if necessary.
- Build system
- Added plain Makefile. This is still in testing, but the plan is to move off CMake. Feedback is welcome.
- JSON parsing switched from json-glib to jansson. Rationale is that deadbeef uses jansson and this way we can minimise dependencies.
- Build system now tries to detect available GTK versions (2 vs 3) automatically and builds the plugin for available GTK versions. Certainly you still can specify one manually.
- Also there was number of internal changes not visible for end-users aiming to ease plugin development and maintenance.
