Ampache 5.4.0-release

It might have only been 10 days ago but this release has some things in it that really can't be left in develop.
The release process is becoming a lot smoother as I work on improving the ampache-administrator repo.

First up; SPEED! after creating so many new columns we've added new indexes to speed things up.
If you have a large database you'll notice a really big decrease in response times across a lot of areas.

When I mean speed I mean some queries are 152 times faster than they were a week ago!

Second, so much more fixing. You're really going to enjoy how smooth things have gotten since that initial 5.0.0!

The CLI application cleanup:sortSongs has been fixed and greatly improved with a lot of new options and abilities

You can access --help on every cli with php bin/cli --help and help for each command same way php bin/cli cleanup:sortSongs --help

Ampache 5.3.0-release

Please take note that while I've built this release for php8.1 it is not yet officially supported as it has not been thoroughly tested.
Consider it unstable until it can be tested fully.

This cycle we have added support for multiple Album and Song artists.
This allows multiple artists to be part of a single song/album object and is created from file tags.

Check out the wiki for more information about this feature.

Ampache 5.2.0-release

Ampache 5.2.0 (and all future versions) now support multiple API versions.
This means that you can send your handshake with a specific version (e.g. 390001, 440001 or 5.2.0)
you will be sent API3, API4 and API5 responses in return.

To change from API3 to API5 you can send a ping with a new version parameter to update your session
(or send goodbye to log off and start again.)

API3 is not recommended for use outside of running old applications and it is recommended that you turn off API versions you don't use.

You can read up about all the API changes on ampache.org.

(MD5SUM aecf8dca7df32ea011b47e875d118d91) ./ampache-5.0.0_squashed.zip

Ampache 5.0.0-release

Ampache 5 is here and it's big!

• Check out Ampache 5 for Admins
• As well as Ampache 5 for Users
• The bin folder has had a major rework
• You can pre cache files using Transcode Caching

IMPORTANT ampache-5.0.0_squashed.zip is a version where the new /public web root has been moved and back into the project root. This version isn't a supported release method but will be tested and made available for situations where using ./public isn't possible

IMPORTANT instead of using date() we are now using IntlDateFormatter and your locale to identify formats.
This means that 'custom_datetime' based on the date() format is incorrect and will look weird.
Look here for the code to change your 'custom_datetime' string [(http://userguide.icu-project.org/formatparse/datetime)]

This means Ampache now requires php-intl module/dll to be enabled.

IMPORTANT For new installs default database charset/collation and table engine have changed

• Engine MyISAM => InnoDB
• Charset utf8 => utf8mb4
• Collation utf8_unicode_ci => utf8mb4_unicode_ci

If you want to keep utf8 make sure you set it before running updates.

• To keep the current collation/charset update your config file
  • Set database_charset = "utf8"
  • Set database_collation = "utf8_unicode_ci"
