year-end dtas project updates

year-end dtas project updates

[Eric Wong]

Sorry about the lack of activity, but really, I'm quite
satisfied with plain-old dtas-player for music playback and I
have been working on more general Free Software stuff and less
on audio production, lately.

Adding mpd/mpris compatibility layers is still a goal,
and some internal cleanups should help with that.

Anyways, happy holidays!  Ruby 2.4.0 was also just released,
and I've been running trunk without problems for several years,
including the server which powers https://80x24.org/dtas/
(yes, the homepage is on HTTPS, and I'll be dropping the
 first part of the hostname to speed up HTTPS subjectAltName
 negotiation and cert renewals).

There's a couple of changes sitting in dtas.git

13 changes since v0.14.2:

      player: "cue prev" reliably hits previous cue breakpoint
      README: add link to gmane NNTP server
      player: extra "cue" seeking functionality
      archive: fix suffix replacement for stats
      dtas-readahead: cleanup open files on pause
      readahead: handle queued commands properly
      mlib: use transaction for removing stale entries
      splitfx: more consistently generate fade_in effects
      format.from_file: reduce soxi invocations
      introduce mcache class for caching audio metadata
      source/sox: integrate mcache support to reduce soxi calls
      test/test_rb_state: quiet deprecation warning
      http -> https, and relocate homepage to https://80x24.org/dtas/
