I know that Steve has published his final version, and I don't expect
him to apply these changes. Steve has done a fantastic job on this
software and I heartily thank him for all his efforts! When (and if) he
puts out a 3.0 based on SQLite or whatever he ends up with, I have no
doubt that it will be wonderful and worth using!

Having said that, I have 2 bug fixes and a new Liner Notes feature to
offer the community. If Steve decides to publish a v2.10 and add these
in, great! If not, you can get all the info about them at
http://waxandwane.org/view.cgi/gnump3d/ .

One bug fix is pretty serious (at least for me) and points out an
obvious flaw in a patch I myself submitted a long time ago! My original
patch prevented people from surfing directly to one of your GNUMP3d
subdirectories and bypassing the password protection feature. Somewhere
along the line it stopped working because my patch was no good. You can
easily patch it by hand by searching in /usr/bin/gnump3d for the
following around line #3030:
 
    while ( $directory ne $ROOT )

and replacing it with this corrected line:


    while ( $directory =~ /^$ROOT/ )


The other bug fix is very minor and has to do with the "info" links.
Just make sure that your "file_format" definition in your gnump3d.conf
file has a frontslash '/' between '/info' and '$PLAINLINK'.

My new Liner Notes feature was motivated by wanting an easy way to
include liner notes, multiple images, and links to performer/composer
websites. I've made it very easy to add any arbitrary text and HTML code
specific to each individual subdirectory. You can get the patch and more
details here at http://waxandwane.org/view.cgi/gnump3d/ .

Thanks! -Ross
