Audacious 2.5.0 - Changelog

What's new in Audacious 2.1:

July 17th, 2009

Enhancements:

· Newui was moved into a plugin and is now called 'gtkui'. It is still not very complete, but has progressed some.
· Sorting by album added.
· Completely new, written from scratch alsa-ng output plugin, which fixes many of the problems our old ALSA output plugin had; including high CPU load with Intel-HDA.
· Listing of available interfaces via 'audacious -i list'.
· Added bs2b (Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural) headphone crossfade filter effect plugin. It is designed to prevent listener fatigue by reducing the super-stereo effect that headphones normally produce.
· rootvis plugin was dropped, as it does not work on most systems anymore.
· Some updated translations.

Bugfixes:

· Mouse wheel settings where removed (for now) from properties, because they didn't actually do anything.
