SoCo 0.11 release notes
***********************

**SoCo 0.11** is a new version of the SoCo library. This release adds new
features and fixes several bugs.

`SoCo (Sonos Controller) <http://python-soco.com/>`_ is a simple Python class
that allows you to programmatically control Sonos speakers.


New Features and Improvements
=============================

* The new properties ``is_playing_tv``, ``is_playing_radio`` and
``is_playing_line_in`` have been added
(`#225 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/pull/225>`_)

* A method ``get_item_album_art_uri`` has been added to return the absolute
album art full uri so that it is easy to put the album art in user
interfaces (`#240 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/pull/240>`_).

* Added support for satellite speaker detection in network topology parsing
code (`#245 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/pull/245>`_)

* Added support to search the music library for tracks, an artists' albums and
an artist's album's tracks (`#246 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/pull/246>`_)

* A fairly extensive re-organisation of the DIDL metadata handling code, which
brings SoCo more into line with the DIDL-Lite spec, as adopted by Sonos. DIDL
objects can have now have multiple URIs, and the interface is much simpler.
(`#256 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/pull/256>`_)

* Event objects now have a timestamp field
(`#273 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/pull/273>`_)

* The IP address (ie network interface) for discovering Sonos speakers can
now be specified (`#277 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/pull/277>`_)

* It is now possible to trigger an update of the music library
(`#286 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/pull/286>`_)

* The event listener port is now configurable
(`#288 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/pull/288>`_)

* Methods that can only be executed on master speakers will now raise a
``SoCoSlaveException`` (`#296 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/pull/296>`_)

* An example has been added that shows how to play local files by setting up a
temporary HTTP server in python
(`#307 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/pull/307>`_)

* Test cleanup (`#309 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/pull/309>`_)


Bugfixes
========

* The value of the IP_MULTICAST_TTL option is now ensured to be one byte long
(`#269 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/pull/269>`_)

* Various encoding issues have been fixed
(`#293 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/issues/293>`_,
`#281 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/issues/281>`_,
`#306 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/pull/306>`_)

* Fix bug with browsing of imported playlists
(`#265 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/pull/265>`_)

* The ``discover`` method was broken in Python 3.4
(`#271 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/issues/271>`_)

* An unknown / missing UPnP class in event subscriptions has been added
(`#266 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/issues/266>`_,
`#301 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/issues/301>`_,
`#303 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/pull/303>`_)

* Fix ``add_to_queue`` which was broken since the data structure refactoring
(`#308 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/issues/308>`_,
`#310 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/pull/310>`_)


Backwards Compatability
=======================

* The exception ``DidlCannotCreateMetadata`` has been deprecated.
``DidlMetadataError`` should be used instead.
(`#256 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/pull/256>`_)

* Code which has been deprecated for more than 3 releases has been removed. See
previous release notes for deprecation notices.
(`#273 <https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo/pull/273>`_)
