Version 0.28.0

Features

• Server: Use filename as title for FileStreams

Bugfixes

• Server: Fix noise caused by reading half samples (Issue #1170)
• Server: Check open syscall error in PipeStream::do_connect (PR #1150)
• Server: Tweak Airplay support (#1102)

General

• CI: Build debian bookworm and bullseye packages for amd64, arm and arm64
• CI: Add cppcheck static analysis
• Update documentation (PR #1130, PR #1067)
• Delete deprecated Makefiles, CMake is the only supported buildsystem
• Snapweb: Update to v0.7.0

Packages

The provided debian packages are automated builds from snapos github actions. Every zip file contains debian packages for:

• the snapserver
• the snapclient without pulse audio support (requires less dependencies)
• the snapclient with pulse audio support

Debian

The packages snapclient_<version>_without_pulse_<arch>.deb are built without pulse audio player backend support (i.e. do not support --player pulse) and thus don't require the PulseAudio dependencies, recommended for headless, non-desktop systems.

Windows

There is no installer provided, the contained package vc_redist.exe must be installed to run snapclient.exe. The dll files must be located in your PATH or in the same directory with snapclient.exe. stijnvdb88 provides with Snap.Net a control interface and a player as single file installer
