  * Do not apply colors or bold/underline formatting to output messages
    in non-interactive environment.

 -- Brice Goglin <Brice.Goglin@ens-lyon.org>  Sun, 21 Mar 2010 00:06:00 +0100

lltag (0.14.2)

  * Merge the whole concept of default and additional values into
    "explicit tag values" which may be set with either -a, -A, -t,
    -n, -d, -g and -c or the generic --tag command line option.
    The default_* configuration options are removed.
    Based on complaints from Alexandre Buisse and Olivier Schwander.
    + Fix the way they are exported in the config file.
  * Replace slashes with dashes before renaming
    (reported by Mark McEver in Gna! bug #10127).
    + Add --rename-slash to change dash into any other string.
  * Fix track numbers into actual numbers (without track total).

 -- Brice Goglin <Brice.Goglin@ens-lyon.org>  Sun, 16 Dec 2007 12:27:00 +0200

lltag (0.14.1)

  * Make sure the last character of user-provided format is correctly
    escaped (reported by Benjamin Saunders).
  * Keep CDDB tags in UTF-8 when using a UTF-8 locale
    (reported by Tino Keitel in Debian bug #418951).
  * Set verbose level to 0 by default so that menu usage information
    is not displayed unless the user explicitly request it, either
    by passing -v on the command, or by typing 'h' in a menu
    (requested by Alexandre Buisse).
    + Fix documentation about verbosity levels in the manpages.
  * Fix typo in lltag.1 (reported by Georg Neis in Debian bug #438795).
  * Fix typo in lltag_config.5 (reported by Emmanuel Jeandel).

 -- Brice Goglin <Brice.Goglin@ens-lyon.org>  Sat, 22 Sep 2007 11:25:00 +0200

lltag (0.14)

  * Add an optional ID3v2 tag support for MP3 files using MP3::Tag
    (requested by lots of people), enabled with --mp3v2 for now.
    + Add --mp3read option to specify whether ID3v1 and v2 should be
      read, and in which order (default is 21).
  * Large rework of the core loop:
    + Display existing tags with the new ones to be set.
    + Add O to display existing tags, R to revert to them, Z to reset
      to no tags at all, and n to skip tagging and jump to renaming.
    + Also try internal parsers when parsing from the main menu even
      if -G was not given on the command line.
    + Support renaming from existing tags without any need to parse
      and/or reapply tags when --rename and --no-tagging are passed
      with nothing else (requested by Alexandre Buisse).
    + Make sure guessing is enabled as default only when there is
      really nothing else to do.
    + Make sure we apply additional values to new tags before merging
      and defaults at the very end, so that --clear and --append are
      correctly processed.
  * Tag edition improvements:
    + Support edition of existing tags and tags with multiple values.
    + Support edition of all CD tags returned by CDDB.
    + Add -E/--edit (and edit option in the configuration file) to
      edit tags immediately.
  * Make the old MP3 backend more safe:
    + Check genre and tracknumbers and ignore invalid values to avoid
      mp3info failures.
    + Add warnings about multiple values and special tags that are not
      supported.
  * Add -q/--quiet to reduce verbosity, useful to disable displaying
    of menu usage when a menu appears for the first time
    (requested by Alexandre Buisse).
    + The verbose option in the config file is now a verbose level,
      with its default being 1.
  * Miscellaneous fixes:
    + Support removing of all tags.
    + Handle Ctrl-d in interactive menus and make it cancel the current
      operation without quitting, as opposed to Ctrl-c
      (requested by Alexandre Buisse).
    + Uniformize the letter to enter to view current values (changed
      'v' into 'V' in the CDDB menus).
  * Documentation updates and fixes:
    + Add an EXAMPLES section at the end of the lltag.1 manpage
      (requested by Stefano Sabatini in Debian bug #406213) and also
      insert more basic command lines in the howto.html documentation.
    + Explain the difference between default and additional values in
      the howto.
    + Explain how the strategies are used, how new tags are generated
      and applied, in the DESCRIPTION section of lltag.1.
    + Have the lltag_config.5 manpage also point to the config template
      file provided in the documentation directory.
  * Lots of other minor fixes.

 -- Brice Goglin <Brice.Goglin@ens-lyon.org>  Mon, 09 Apr 2007 11:22:00 +0200

lltag (0.13.1)

  * Multiple fixes regarding parsing:
    + Try to apply internal parsers immediately after reading the formats
      file and catch error gracefully instead of dying later horribly.
    + Catch errors gracefully when actually parsing filenames too.
    + Report the beginning line (instead of a later one) in the formats
      file when meeting an invalid parser.
    + Check that the formats given either with -F or in the formats file
      have correct number of fields to match, and that we actually get the
      same number of fields after matching.
    + Escape []() correctly in internal parsers (reported by David Mohr).
    + Print the regexp when listing internal parsers in verbose mode
      (requested by David Mohr).
    + Improve documentation about the impact of --spaces on internal parsers.
    + Add 2 new internal formats ("%a/%A [%d]" and "%a/%A (%d)") by David
      Mohr.
  * Multiple cleanup in the documentation:
    + Install the config file in the doc/ directory instead of /etc/lltag/
      since it only contains documentation, no actual configuration.
    + Move configuration option documentation into the new lltag_config.5
      manpage, and the documentation of internal formats database file in
      lltag_formats.5.
    + Add install-man, uninstall-man, install-doc and uninstall-doc targets
      in the Makefile to install manpages and documentation on demand.
    + Some fixes in the manpage.
  * Hack the parameters that are passed during Perl modules installation
    to deal with MakeMaker not using PREFIX in the common way. Without
    this change, setting PREFIX=/usr/local on the make install command
    line was installing in /usr/local/local/perl (reported by David Mohr).

 -- Brice Goglin <Brice.Goglin@ens-lyon.org>  Fri, 01 Dec 2006 18:22:00 +0100

lltag (0.13)

  * Fix CDDB, was broken since the HTTP search interface of freedb.org is
    unavailable for now (closes Hamish Moffatt's Debian bug #397626).
    + CDDB now uses TrackType.org instead of freedb.org.
      - Reorganize the CDDB code to make it easy to use other online CDDB
        site, using kind of a backend interface.
    + Rewrite HTTP requests using libwww-perl.
    + Drop --cddb-proxy and use the HTTP_PROXY variable in the
      environment (set it to something like "http://my.proxy.com").
    + libwww-perl (LWP) is now recommended since required for CDDB access.
  * Several important fixes regarding internal tag management:
    + --clear, --append, additional tags (passed with --tag)
    + Handling of multiple values for the same tag.
      - When tags have multiple value, do not keep the same value twice.
  * Improve manpage and documentation:
    + Add "files..." to the synopsis in the manpage since lltag only
      operates on files that are given on the command line (not on the
      whole directory) and add a message in verbose mode when no files
      are given (reported by Hamish Moffatt in Debian bug #397627).
    + Add the configuration file option name near the corresponding
      command line option in the manpage.
    + Add a note, near -g, about the fact that the genre string might
      have to match within a list of specified genres.
    + Add missing options in the comments in the config file.
    + Improve requirements in the README.
    + Main description at the beginning of the manpage.
    + Various fixes in the manpage.
  * --nopath (i.e. -p) is now --no-path (and no_path in the config file).
  * When --tag is passed, disable -G by default.
  * Change the internal backend API to manipulate hash of values instead
    of talking to external programs, to help upcoming backends.
    - Conversion from hash to external programs (command line and output
      stream) is moved to new helper functions for backends that need them.

 -- Brice Goglin <Brice.Goglin@ens-lyon.org>  Thu, 16 Nov 2006 22:53:00 +0100

lltag (0.12.2)

  * Fix %i processing (was broken since 0.12).
  * Fix regexp application.
  * Update the How-to about automatic CDDB and --cddb-query.
  * Improve error messaging.
  * Improve messaging in automatic mode.
  * Cleanup Perl regexps.

 -- Brice Goglin <Brice.Goglin@ens-lyon.org>  Mon, 23 Oct 2006 13:38:00 +0200

lltag (0.12.1)

  * Improve automatization of CDDB:
    + Add --cddb-query to search in CDDB automatically from the
      command-line with either keywords or category/id.
    + Add 'a' and '<index> a' to switch to automatic CDDB mode
      while interactively choosing a track in a CD.
    + Fix automization of CDDB with --yes.
  * When using 'a' to switch to automatic mode, only change the mode
    for the local menu (i.e. automatic parsing does not make automatic
    tagging or CDDB usage).
  * If CDDB query by keywords finds nothing, go back to keywords query
    instead of asking the user to choose in the (empty) list.
  * Add %F, %E and %P to be replaced by original basename, extension
    and path of the file when renaming.
  * Add --type to make file type selection more flexible.
  * Use DELETE or <DELETE> to erase a tag when editing.
  * Add a easy-to-use backend interface to help adding support for
    other file types.
    + Backend information (registrations and failures) are displayed
      in verbose mode -v).
  * Fix Perl modularization, no need to use Exporter module since we
    access modular functions by prefixing with the module name.
  * Improve some messages.

 -- Brice Goglin <Brice.Goglin@ens-lyon.org>  Tue, 03 Oct 2006 16:22:00 +0200

lltag (0.12)

  * Add CDDB support with -C or --cddb (or C in the main menu):
    + Search CD ids by keywords, with ability to choose categories
      and fields to look in.
    + Lookup a CD by giving its category and CD id directly.
    + Keep the previous CD contents in memory so that the next track
      might be tagged immediately.
    + Edit CDDB common tags before extracting a track from a CD.
    + Configurable HTTP CDDB server and proxy.
  * Rework interactive menus to integrate CDDB better:
    + Add a main menu from where CDDB, parsing and editing is called.
    + Use 'q' to leave submenus (parsing, CDDB, renaming and editing).
    + Use 'q' instead of 's' to skip a file from the main menu.
    + Use 'y' to exit editing after save the changes.
    + Add 'Q' to exit completely.
    + Do not match user replies case-insensitively.
    + Large rework of the manpage to document the new menus.
  * Some new entries in the How-To.
  * Do not write guess option in the generated configuration file
    unless explicitely asked by the user.
  * Add a doc/ subdirectory:
    + The How-To is now also included in the tarball.
  * Perl modularization.
  * Add the date to the program name when compiling it from SVN.

 -- Brice Goglin <Brice.Goglin@ens-lyon.org>  Tue, 19 Sep 2006 21:34:00 -0400

lltag (0.11)

  * Always read existing tags first, allowing to:
    + Rename using existing tags when the old filename is useless
      (requested by Fabien Wernli). In case of multiple occurence of a tag,
      the first one is used.
    + Suppport replacing, clearing, and appending well for all types:
      - Replacing is now the default for all types.
      - Appending is useless for mp3 since only one occurence (the first one)
        may be stored in the file.
      - Remove the CLEARING, REPLACING OR APPENDING manpage section.
  * Add --tag for additional tags, and warn when not storable in in mp3 files.
  * Now use %d, -d and DATE instead of %y, -y and YEAR since ogg/flac tags
    are dates.
  * Use %i instead of %d to ignore some text when matching.
  * Fix 'u' confirmation to try the current parser first for next files
    (was broken since 0.10).
  * 'basename' is now used instead of 'filename' for 'type' in the format
    file, 'filename' is still supported for now.
  * Do not rename if the new name already exists.
  * Fix reading/tagging the date of ogg/flac files.
  * Use all-capitals tag names to match ogg/flac.
    + default_<non-capitalized-name> option is still supported in the config
      for now.
  * The indices in the format file may now be full field names instead of
    letters.
  * Print the default letter in <> instead of capital when confirming/editing.
  * Add EDITING TAGS in the manpage.
  * Add configuration options for the config file in the manpage.
  * Fix quoting of the command-line in --dry-run.
  * Large rework of the internal structures.
  * Major cleanup of the manpage.

 -- Brice Goglin <Brice.Goglin@ens-lyon.org>  Sat, 19 Mar 2006 23:56:00 -0500

lltag (0.10)

  * Use Readline library to make tag editing easier if the installed
    readline library is smart, with inline edition of existing tags
    and history of last entered values.
  * Added -S ans --show-tags to only show file tags instead of tagging
    (requested by Stephane Gimenez in Gna! bug #4601).
  * Add --regexp and --rename-regexp for basic regexp-replacing in tags
    (requested by Jonathan Worth Washington, Gna! bug #4604).
  * When renaming with a undefined track number, initialize it to 0.
  * When renaming with a track number, make it at least 2 digits
    (reported by Emmanuel Jeandel).
  * Always write renaming configuration options with --gencfg, even
    if renaming was not enabled.
  * Cleanup core function names and several messages so that lltag speak
    about matching instead of tagging. It avoids getting messages about
    tagging while --no-tagging was passed (requested by Stephane Gimenez).
  * Use ' instead of # to show spaces between command line argument
    with --dry-run (requested by Emmanuel Jeandel).
  * Allow to pass ()[] characters in the matching format without having
    to escape them.
  * Allow all %x in the renaming format when x is not a field letter.
  * Fix where the 'd' field (dummy) is allowed.
  * Fix the error when no formats file is found.
  * Fix typos in the manpage (reported by Emmanuel Jeandel).

    + Fix documentation.
  * Add --config, --gencfg and /etc/lltag/config to configure lltag behavior
    (requested by Stephane Gimenez).
  * Do not warn when no file is passed.
