- Update from version 4.1.1 to 4.3.2
- Update of rootfile not required.
- Updating shairport-sync to 4.2 or later also requires an update of nqptp as the newer
version of shairport-sync requires NQPTP with Shared Memory Interface Version smi9 and
will not work with older versions.
- Changelog
4.3.2
This update contains a brand new PipeWire backend with full synchronisation --
your feedback is welcome on this. The update also contains a number of bug fixes.
Enhancements
A totally new PipeWire backend featuring full synchronisation.
Bug Fixes
Stability improvements for the PulseAudio backend.
Fix a crash when the Avahi subsystem became disconnected. This is normally a
rare occurrence, but Shairport Sync was not dereferencing obsolete data
correctly when it happened.
Set and reset Bonjour flags correctly when it's a Classic Airplay session in
AirPlay 2 operation.
Fix a number of FreeBSD compilation errors and warnings.
Fix various errors when breaking into an existing session to terminate it.
Thanks again to aaronk6.
Fix some debug message errors, sigh. Thanks to Nathan Gray.
4.3.1
Bug Fixes
This release, 4.3.1, fixes a bug in Version 4.3 that prevented Shairport
Sync from being added to Home.
4.3
This update contains important security updates, bug fixes and enhancements.
NQPTP must also be updated, and it should be updated before updating Shairport
Sync.
The Shared Memory Interface version of both Shairport Sync and NQPTP is now 10,
i.e. smi10.
Notes
When updating NQPTP on Linux, be sure to remove the old service file as
directed in the README.
Having completed both updates and installations, remember to restart NQPTP
first and then restart Shairport Sync.
Security Updates
A crashing bug in NQPTP has been fixed.
The communications protocol used between NQPTP and Shairport Sync has been
revised and made more resilient to attempted misuse.
In Linux systems, NQPTP no longer runs as root -- instead it runs as the
restriced user nqptp, with access to ports 319 and 320 set by the installer
via the setcap utility.
Enhancements
A new volume control profile called dasl-tapered has been added in which
halving the volume control setting halves the output level.
For example, moving the volume slider from full to half reduces the output
level by 10dB, which roughly corresponds with a perceived halving of the
audio volume level.
Moving the volume slider from half to a quarter reduces the output level by
a further 10dB.
The tapering rate is slightly modified at the lower end of the range if the
device's attenuation range is restricted (less than about 55dB).
To activate the dasl-tapered profile, set the volume_control_profile to
"dasl_tapered" in the configuration file and restart Shairport Sync.
Many thanks to David Leibovic, aka dasl-, for this.
On graceful shutdown, an active_end signal should now be generated if the
system was in the active state. Addresses issue #1647. Thanks to Tucker
Kern for raising the issue.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug that causes the Docker image to crash occasionally when OwnTone
interrupted an existing iOS session. Thanks to aaronk6 for the report.
Fixed a cross-compliation error caused by not looking for the correct
version of the ar tool. The fix was to substitute the correct version
during the autoreconf phase. Thanks to sternenseemann for raising the
issue and the PR containing the fix.
Updated the mDNS strings for the Classic AirPlay feature of AP2, so that it
does not appear to provide MFi authentication. Addresses this discussion.
Always uses a revision number of 1 when looking for status updates on the
DACP remote control port. This follows a suggestion in Issue #1658. Thanks
to ejurgensen, as ever, for the report and the suggested fix.
Fixed a statistics bug (the minimum buffer size was incorrectly logged) and
also tidy up the statistics logging interval logic for resetting min and
max counters.
Added an important missing format string argument to a call in the Jack
Audio backend. Many thanks to michieldwitte for their PR.
Maintenance
Stopped using a deprecated FFmpeg data structure reference.
Stopped using deprecated OpenSSL calls. Thanks to yubiuser for their PR --
which did some of the updating -- and for their guidance.
Run workflow-based tests on PRs automatically. Thanks to yubiuser for their PR.
4.2
This release consists of enhancements and important bug fixes to Shairport Sync
Version 4.1. For information on the new features of 4.1, including AirPlay 2
support, please see the Version 4.1 Release Note.
Important
If you are updating an existing installation of Shairport Sync, you must
also update NQPTP. The reason is that this update to Shairport Sync
requires NQPTP with Shared Memory Interface Version smi9 and will not
work with older versions.
For details of the enhancements and bug fixes in this release, please
refer to the RELEASENOTES.

There are no functional changes in these files, but they are however
linked against OpenSSL 1.1.1 and need to be re-shipped before we remove
the legacy library.

Since we have extended services.cgi that it reads the Services field
from the Pakfire metadata, we will need to make sure that that metadata
is going to be on those systems.

Historically, the MD5 checksums in our LFS files serve as a protection
against broken downloads, or accidentally corrupted source files.
While the sources are nowadays downloaded via HTTPS, it make sense to
beef up integrity protection for them, since transparently intercepting
TLS is believed to be feasible for more powerful actors, and the state
of the public PKI ecosystem is clearly not helping.
Therefore, this patch switches from MD5 to BLAKE2, updating all LFS
files as well as make.sh to deal with this checksum algorithm. BLAKE2 is
notably faster (and more secure) than SHA2, so the performance penalty
introduced by this patch is negligible, if noticeable at all.
In preparation of this patch, the toolchain files currently used have
been supplied with BLAKE2 checksums as well on
https://source.ipfire.org/.

Bumping across one of our scripts with very long trailing whitespaces, I
thought it might be a good idea to clean these up. Doing so, some
missing or inconsistent licence headers were fixed.
There is no need in shipping all these files en bloc, as their
functionality won't change.

**Enhancements**
* Documentation for the MQTT interface. Many thanks to [minix1234](https://github.com/minix1234)!
**Bug Fixes**
* Fix a bug in the `alsa` back end. In the interval between checking that the alsa
device handle was non-`NULL` and actually using it, the handle could be set to
`NULL`. The interval between check and usage is now protected.
* Fix a bug in the `alsa` precision timing code. Thanks to

* Fix a bug that caused Shairport Sync to hang, but not actually crash, if an
`on-...` script failed.
* Fix a crash that occurred if metadata support is enabled during compilation but
turned off in the configuration file. Thanks to
[Tim Curtis](https://github.com/moodeaudio) for the report.
* Fix a crash that occurred playing from AirPower on Android. Thanks to
[Ircama](https://github.com/Ircama) for the report.
* Fix the configure.ac file so that `--without-<feature>` configuration options
are not interpreted as `--with-<feature>` options instead! Thanks to
