   -1    48 
   -1    49 This is a complete rewrite which massively simplifies the code

   -1   165 # 2.0.1 (2014-06-18)
   -1   166 
   -1   167 This release brings a basic testing environment and some internal
   -1   168 restructuring.  The following bugs have been fixed:
   -1   169 
   -1   170 - cplay:
   -1   171   - fix regular expressions in python3
   -1   172   - only add valid songs to playlist
   -1   173   - don't crash on missing backend
   -1   174   - don't require babel for installation
   -1   175 - cnq:
   -1   176   - declare missing argparse dependency
   -1   177 
   -1   178 # 2.0.0 (2014-06-15)
   -1   179 
   -1   180 cplay has been unmaintained for many years now. I tried to contact the
   -1   181 original developers but without luck. So now I am announcing a fork of
   -1   182 cplay: cplay-ng.
   -1   183 
   -1   184 My short time goal with this was to be able to install cplay from pypi.
   -1   185 This goals has now been reached. Future plans include new features and a
   -1   186 test suite.
   -1   187 
   -1   188 - cplay:
   -1   189   - renamed to cplay-ng
   -1   190   - dropped support for python < 2.6
   -1   191   - python3 compatibility
   -1   192   - pep8 compatibility
   -1   193   - setuptools integration
   -1   194   - pulse mixer support (Andreas van Cranenburgh)
   -1   195   - add gst123 backend which uses gstreamer and therefore supports many audio
   -1   196     formats
   -1   197   - midi support through timidity
   -1   198   - scale key-volume mapping such that 9 is 100%
   -1   199 - cnq:
   -1   200   - renamed to cnq-ng
   -1   201   - complete rework to become a full featured remote control for cplay-ng

  223    -1 	*** 2.0.0 ***
  224    -1 
  225    -1 	cplay has been unmaintained for many years now. I tried to contact the
  226    -1 	original developers but without luck. So now I am announcing a fork of
  227    -1 	cplay: cplay-ng.
  228    -1 
  229    -1 	My short time goal with this was to be able to install cplay from pypi.
  230    -1 	This goals has now been reached. Future plans include new features and a
  231    -1 	test suite.
  232    -1 
  233    -1 	* cplay:
  234    -1 	- renamed to cplay-ng
  235    -1 	- dropped support for python < 2.6
  236    -1 	- python3 compatibility
  237    -1 	- pep8 compatibility
  238    -1 	- setuptools integration
  239    -1 	- pulse mixer support (Andreas van Cranenburgh)
  240    -1 	- add gst123 backend which uses gstreamer and therefore supports many audio
  241    -1 	  formats
  242    -1 	- midi support through timidity
  243    -1 	- scale key-volume mapping such that 9 is 100%
  244    -1 
  245    -1 	* cnq:
  246    -1 	- renamed to cnq-ng
  247    -1 	- complete rework to become a full featured remote control for cplay-ng
