2.0.0 (2014-06-15)

cplay has been unmaintained for many years now. I tried to contact the original developers but without luck. So now I am announcing a fork of cplay: cplay-ng.

My short time goal with this was to be able to install cplay from pypi. This goals has now been reached. Future plans include new features and a test suite.

  • cplay:
    • renamed to cplay-ng
    • dropped support for python < 2.6
    • python3 compatibility
    • pep8 compatibility
    • setuptools integration
    • pulse mixer support (Andreas van Cranenburgh)
    • add gst123 backend which uses gstreamer and therefore supports many audio formats
    • midi support through timidity
    • scale key-volume mapping such that 9 is 100%
  • cnq:
    • renamed to cnq-ng
    • complete rework to become a full featured remote control for cplay-ng
