Allow for software mixer for MPD
Disable IPv6 when running NAA
Potentially fixed a bug when RoonServer isn't starting
Fixed a problem when moving one SSD/HDD from one computer to another
Only show "Start LMS: Yes|No" messages when you are using Squeezelite players
Ability to install/uninstall most software players from the Snakeoil tab now. Select Install to have the player show up in the Software tab or Not Installed to uninstall the player from the computer and not shown in the Software tab.
Added support for RoonServer and JRiver MediaCenter 22 (RoonBridge and RoonServer is available only on 64 bits version)
Added new backend code for various features
Cleaned up and simplify some existing backend code
Don't return any remote web client when no software players are installed
Fixed up executable path detection for players (no more false positives for players that's uninstalled)
Allow one to update firmware/modules tagged as generic
Allow you to change your hostname
Added php file manager
Allow upgrade of generic firmware and deb for all architectures
Always repair NTFS partitions before mounting them
Fixed broken apt installs.
Clarify the difference between forum activation and Snakeoil web app activation
Some width and size changes to the web app
Fixed issue when Web Remote Control list is not any LMS when in LMS only mode [Credit: Leonard]
Fixed Start LMS only mode, may possibly fix this Mandatory ALSA required for LMS only issue.
Fixed bug when removing a storage in music tab doesn't do anything [Credit: Doncentric]
Fix bad HTML tags in Music tab when saving > 1 mount points [Credit: Doncentric]
Load the default English language file (always works) if the multi-language file cannot load
Disable kernel tweaking, kernel upgrade and password reset when in LiveCD mode
Strip referrer information when accessing snakeoil websifte from the snakeoil web interface to protect your privacy. Tested to work with Chrome (not sure if true for other browsers).
Removed irqpoll for boot options as it is not doing anyhing (makes sense I guess as RT kernel is totally pre-emptive)
Improved error detection when starting players from VNC (i.e. there will be a msg if the player fail to start)
NAA, Roon and other players require manual configuration, as such you should be allowed to start them without configuring ALSA output devices in the Hardware tab.
Added "Player Status" in software tab allowing you to be better informed if things goes wrong. It will also display a message if your selected player requires manual configuration. You no longer need to ssh into the machine and see if your player is now started or not as all the information is now shown from here.
Strip high ASCII characters (e.g. ASCII colour) when displaying output from a deb install. (This makes NAA install more legible)
All 32 bit players (MPD, Squeezelite and XMMS) are now built & linked against ALSA 1.0.28. Will this sound as amazing as the 64 bit edition?
Multi-lingual support! I need translators to help translate the Snakeoil web interface to your native language. If you have the time and patience to do this, please leave a comment below. State which language you are working on (so others will notice and not duplicate the work you have done). Refer to this section of the manual on how to translate.
Fixed and updated a lot of the English text
Re-factored a lot of the build mechanism such that a single platform can be used to build 32 and 64 bit stuffs (This should improve quality of future releases)
Updated JQuery to 3.0.0
fixed broken 64 bit cyclictest (My bad!)
fixed broken vnc virtual desktop on newer 0.1.4 installs

Thank you

It has been a long ten months. Next step is to move away from the current web interface and make it more modern looking (angular and node.js). Then I can do stuffs like CD Ripping, universal remote control and etc..

So many things to do, so little time Nonono

cd ripping and remote woohoo ! Key bindings would be great too..... I have a number-pad I use with Daphile to toggle play/pause... I have a workshop and need to halt play while I run machinery and gas torches and then resume once finished...a simple key-press instead of awakening the lms interface or wifi connecting for squeezer would be great..!

Keybindings would be harder to do since Snakeoil is a minimal system. You can always login to the computer and start ncmpc. that way you can use your number-pad (and keyboard) to control the system.

If you're interested in trying that I can whip up a module to do this.

Hmmm,,, I ssh'd in as my user and ran ncmpc. It starts, shows the interface and a message..."connection refused" That's it..!
Sounds like the connection problem to MPD we're having over in the other thread.

I have moved the MPD issues into it's own thread: Link

Post all the issues and anything you have found into that thread so I can better understand what the problem is.
