That's about the same amount of issues and commits as between 1.0 +and 1.1. The number of contributors is a bit lower, but we didn't have a real +life sprint in this development cycle. Thanks to :ref:`everyone ` who +has :ref:`contributed `! + +With the release of Mopidy 1.0 we promised that any extension working with +Mopidy 1.0 should continue working with all Mopidy 1.x releases. Mopidy 2.0 is +quite a friendly major release, and will only break a single extension that we +know of: Mopidy-Spotify. To ensure that everything keeps on working, please +upgrade to Mopidy 2.0 and Mopidy-Spotify 3.0 at the same time. + +No deprecated functionality has been removed in Mopidy 2.0. + +The major features of Mopidy 2.0 are: + +- Gapless playback has been mostly implemented. It works as long as you don't + change tracks in the middle of a track or use previous and next. In a future + release previous and next will also become gapless. It is now quite easy to + have Mopidy streaming audio over the network using Icecast. See the updated + :ref:`streaming` docs for details of how to set it up and workarounds for the + remaining issues. + +- Mopidy has upgraded from GStreamer 0.10 to 1.x. This has been on our backlog + for more than three years. With this upgrade we're ridding ourselves with + years of GStreamer bugs that have been fixed in newer releases, we can get + into Debian testing again, and we've removed the last major roadblock for + running Mopidy on Python 3. Dependencies ------------ - Mopidy now requires GStreamer >= 1.2.3, as we've finally ported from - GStreamer 0.10. + GStreamer 0.10. Since we're requiring a new major version of our major + dependency, we're upping the major version of Mopidy too. (Fixes: + :issue:`225`) Core API --------
