Opentape 0.12 Released!November 17 2008

Download Opentape 0.12 here

A new version of Opentape is now available!  This update is contains a few small fixes to the software that make it easier to deploy Opentape on a wider range of web servers with their varying PHP configurations.

Thanks again to everyone who submitted patches and reported bugs.

FIXES

- Fixed time-clicking/stop playback UI bug. If you clicked on time remaining or total time while track is playing JS errors would be generated and the page would fail. Thanks fusen!
- Fixed preg_replace bug @opentape_common.php 314, thanks harry_tuttle!
- Removed rogue php short tags (How did you all sneak in here?) Thanks Eli!

ENHANCEMENTS

- Changed Opentape license to AGPL
- Made it possible to empty the artist name and have this show up correctly in the mixtape
- Replaced hacked XSPF implementation with one that uses PHP DOM 
- Made XSPF playlist non-cachable via hash in URL. This way tracks play in the correct order after reordering them in the admin panel in all browsers. (Eli)

The future of artist presence of the web is not in an all-in-one premium web service or a social network that has conflicting business priorities but in easily customizable open source software.  

Ethan Kaplan’s Drupal-powered artist sites are another excellent example of this in action.
