Recommendations, friends and groups music and lot more!

This release is only for historical reasons. It doesn't work

Some new and so handy features has landed to this release along with few bugfixes and some internal changes. This is probably the most full-packed release after the initial one!

Changelog

• Features
  • Friends and groups music. This is as simple as copying a link to a person\group from your browser address bar to VK Plugin search text box (e.g. to listen to my own music just copy this link https://vk.com/scorpp; groups work in similar manner). (partially by @ga2mer)
  • Recommended music. Now VK music recommendation are also available in plugin. (by @ga2mer)
  • Force plain HTTP for track. In some builds deadbeef's curl plugin is unable to handle tracks over HTTPS. That was an annoying issue for many users and now plugin feature an option to force plain HTTP even if VK API provided and HTTPS link. No need to switch off 'Alway use HTTPS' option on vk.com. Plugin option disabled by default.
• Bugfixes
  • Fixed broken search target behaviour (search anywhere\artist\title). Now changing it is properly stored in configuration and refreshes search results if necessary.
• Build system
  • Added plain Makefile. This is still in testing, but the plan is to move off CMake. Feedback is welcome.
  • JSON parsing switched from json-glib to jansson. Rationale is that deadbeef uses jansson and this way we can minimise dependencies.
  • Build system now tries to detect available GTK versions (2 vs 3) automatically and builds the plugin for available GTK versions. Certainly you still can specify one manually.
• Also there was number of internal changes not visible for end-users aiming to ease plugin development and maintenance.

Playlist bugfixes

• Fixed bug when added VK tracks were not preserved after PC shutdown or player kill
• It's now possible to add tracks to new playlist right from Add tracks dialogue or panel

Crash fixed

Fixed crash due to incomplete migration to new deadbeef API. Thanks to @medvedar for good bug report!

deadbeef 0.6.0 compatible release

Checkout new VK Browser widget!

Enter design mode (in deadbeef main window View -> Design mode) and pick VK Browser widget to be able to search right from player main window.

You still can use the old popup dialog under File -> Add track from VK. It is all up to you!

Major changes for this release include the following:

• Compatibility with new deadbeef 0.6 API
• Now there is a widget that could be placed inside deadbeef window (thanks to new deadbeef design mode!)
• Plugin is refactored to be a VFS provider. That means that track links will no longer expire! :-D

Minor enhancements include:

• Fixed weird column resize behaviour

No Debian\Ubuntu packages for now. Will make available as soon as possible

Fix broken Ubuntu support!

• Use github pages site for VK token retrieval instead of blogspot
• Remove limiting number of tracks retrieved from 'My music'
• For Debian-based distros link against libcurl3-gnutls instead of OpenSSL-backed version

and even more search results!

• repeat search query up to 10 times to find more songs
• tracks are now added to the end of current playlist

more search results now

• respect LIB_SUFFIX for compatibility with 64-bin installs which use lib32 dir
• URL-encode search query since it may contain spaces, etc
• put a workaround for CMake < 2.8.10
