A few weeks ago, I’ve added support for Remote, Apple’s iPhone application for controlling iTunes remotely. Here, “support” means Remote can be paired with forked-daapd and can be used to browse the library. And that’s it, for now.
At this point, there won’t be much visible activity on forked-daapd for some time. I’m working on a couple of things, but they take time and they require a lot of new code.
So, for a couple weeks now, I’ve been working on that. I have some code outside forked-daapd that is starting to work well, but it’s not there yet, far from it. Then it’ll have to be integrated into forked-daapd, which means a lot of new code there too.
Bug fixes will still happen in the meantime, and some smaller new features may also appear before the Big Thing™. So if you find or encounter bugs, feel free to report them still. If you have patches or ideas you want to discuss, feel free too.
As I wrote to a couple people by mail already, good things come to those who wait or contribute.
With all that, I’ve updated the Debian packages, given that there won’t be important changes for a while; I hope they’re useful to some of you out there. Note that I’m making an amd64 binary package available alongside the source package; it’s built on a current Debian unstable system, but if that’s not suitable for you, in terms of dependencies or architecture, you can trivially build a suitable binary package from the source package. As a reminder, I have packages of the ANTLRv3 C runtime too. I’ve also added antlr-3.1.3.jar there, in case you need it and can’t find it at the upstream download site.
