This changelog is used to track all major changes to Mopidy.
v0.20.0 (UNRELEASED)
====================
**Audio**
- Removed support for GStreamer mixers. GStreamer 1.x does not support volume
control, so we changed to use software mixing by default in v0.17.0. Now,
we're removing support for all other GStreamer mixers and are reintroducing
mixers as something extensions can provide independently of GStreamer.
(Fixes: :issue:`665`, PR: :issue:`760`)
- Changed the :confval:`audio/mixer` config value to refer to Mopidy mixer
extensions instead of GStreamer mixers. The default value, ``software``,
still has the same behavior. All other values will either no longer work or
will at the very least require you to install an additional extension.
- Changed the :confval:`audio/mixer_volume` config value behavior from
affecting GStreamer mixers to affecting Mopidy mixer extensions instead. The
end result should be the same without any changes to this config value.
- Deprecated the :confval:`audio/mixer_track` config value. This config value
is no longer in use. Mixer extensions that need additional configuration
handle this themselves.
**Mixers**
- Added new :class:`mopidy.mixer.Mixer` API which can be implemented by
extensions.
- Created a bundled extension, :ref:`ext-softwaremixer`, for controlling volume
in software in GStreamer's pipeline. This is Mopidy's default mixer. To use
this mixer, set :confval:`audio/mixer` to ``software``.
- Created an external extension, `Mopidy-ALSAMixer
<https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy-alsamixer/>`_, for controlling volume with
hardware through ALSA. To use this mixer, install the extension, and set
:confval:`audio/mixer` to ``alsamixer``.
