beep-1.4.12

Changes in beep-1.4.12 over beep-1.4.11:

• Document how to override and disable packaged udev rules.
• Changed the build system to be closer to the GNU makefile conventions, i.e.
  • only one compiler/toolchain per build
  • default installation is to prefix=/usr/local instead of prefix=/usr
  • use GNU style docdir= instead of RPM spec file style pkgdocdir=
  • etc.
  • Still not using a configure script, though, as that is complex. The user writing a local.mk with some definitions covers everyone wanting to use the same settings across make invocations, though.

beep-1.4.11

beep-1.4.11 is a quick bugfix relese for beep-1.4.10 which forgot to install the new morse contrib scripts.

Therefore, this lists the changes from beep-1.4.9 to beep-1.4.11:

1.4.11

• Install the contrib/morse/* scripts just like the failure-beeps.

1.4.10

• Rename CREDITS to CREDITS.md and CHANGELOG to NEWS.md and
  reformatted them to markdown.
• Fix some __VA_ARGS__ problems with some C language compiler
  options.
• contrib/morse/: Add both perl and tr+sed script options to
  have beep produce morse code by converting the output of the
  morse utility from the BSD Games package to a beep command
  line.
• If built without any drivers, running beep will now complain and
  abort instead of silently (pun intended) just not beeping.
• Stop using Travis CI. Use GitHub Actions workflows for CI instead.
• Skip test cases using PC speaker hardware if absent (e.g. on a VM)
• Improved documentation (e.g. alsamixer requirement, loading pcspkr)

beep-1.4.10

Update: Use beep-1.4.11 instead. beep-1.4.10 forgot to install the new contrib/morse scripts.

The change from beep-1.4.9 to beep-1.4.10:

• Rename CREDITS to CREDITS.md and CHANGELOG to NEWS.md and
  reformatted them to markdown.
• Fix some __VA_ARGS__ problems with some C language compiler
  options.
• contrib/morse/: Add both perl and tr+sed script options to
  have beep produce morse code by converting the output of the
  morse utility from the BSD Games package to a beep command
  line.
• If built without any drivers, running beep will now complain and
  abort instead of silently (pun intended) just not beeping.
• Stop using Travis CI. Use GitHub Actions workflows for CI instead.
• Skip test cases using PC speaker hardware if absent (e.g. on a VM)
• Improved documentation (e.g. alsamixer requirement, loading pcspkr)

beep-1.4.9

The change from beep-1.4.8 to beep-1.4.9:

• Mention default values in the beep(1) man page and the beep --help output.

beep-1.4.8

The changes from beep-1.4.7 to beep-1.4.8 are few:

• At build time, avoid error messages related to maybe building without git installed, or from a tarball instead of a git source tree.
• Improve issue-6-benchmark report to help people with solving issue #6.

If you already have beep-1.4.7 installed or packaged, you probably need not update to beep-1.4.8.

beep-1.4.7

Changes since beep-1.4.6:

• Install contrib scripts for both successfully and failing sounding beeps as package documentation.
• Install man page uncompressed, so packagers can use their favoured compression format.

beep-1.4.6

Changes since beep-1.4.4:

• Use va_copy() macro in function with va_list parameter to avoid possible bug
• Use BEEP_LOG_LEVEL environment variable for default log level

beep-1.4.4

• Remove udev/rules.d/ and modprobe.d/ example files to force packagers to re-read PACKAGING.md and PERMISSIONS.md
• Rewritten PERMISSIONS.md and INSTALL.md, adapting README.md and PACKAGING.md and beep(1) (i.e. beep.1.in) for consistency
• Allow beep to run as non-root, even if SUDO_* env variables are present
• Fix newline escaping when generating beep-usage.c
• By default, use plain -g instead of -gstabs
• Ensure the gcc used actually supports the default flags in CFLAGS_gcc

beep-1.4.3

Stop compiling with -fcf-protection in CFLAGS_gcc if the platform does not support it (such as the Raspberry Pi ARMs).

v1.4.2

beep-1.4.2

• Improved beep(1) man page and --help output
• Cleaned signal handlers of all function calls
• Use beep driver infrastructure (console and evdev drivers)
• Abort on unhandled command line parameters
• Use nanosleep(2) instead of usleep(3)
