Stable release

2.3.1 was released. This version contains fixes to many bugs. Part of them is already included in the FreeBSD port, but can help also on NetBSD and other systems. The release also includes a few ALSA fixes, address compilation issues on non-Linux systems and more. The full list of changes can be found here.

Long awaited 2.3.0 release is here. There are many new features (full list is here).

Most important are:

• Network streams (shoutcast, icecast, regular HTTP, FTP). You can load an
  m3u file with a URL or use the 'o' command.
• JACK output (by Alex Norman).
• Added support for musepack (mpc).
• Added support for speex format.
• The search command filters out not matching elements from the menu and
  allows to walk through the items like in the regular menu.
• Plugins: to drop dependencies from many exotic libraries, support for
  file formats was moved to shared libraries. This should help making MOC
  packages in future when more formats will be added.
• Sample rate conversion using libsamplerate and some sound conversions
  like 16bit -> 24bit etc. With 24bit sound cards 24bit output is used with
  mp3.
• Added support for PLS version 2 playlists.
• New theme: Yellow/Red (by Morten Grunnet Buhl).
• Added commands to set volume from 10% to 90% in 10% steps, default
  bindings are ALT-1 to ALT-9.
• Added commands to quickly go to a selected directories (by Alex Norman).
• Added --info command line option that prints all information about the
  currently played file. (Based on the code by Michael Banks)
• Two mixer channels can be set in the configuration file. They can be
  switched at run time by pressing x.
• Added SeekTime option: how fast the seeking is. (Kamil Tarkowski)
• When going to a directory using the i command, TAB completes to the
  matching part of ambiguous directories.
• Added UseRealtimePriority (default no) option: set realtime priority for
  the output buffer thread.
