v0.30.0: Built for Python 3

Flashbake 0.30.0 Changelog

New: Python 3

• Flashbake is now built for Python 3.
• The Python 3 port doesn't require substantial changes to configuration files, with the exception of removing any dropped features and adding new features.
• Python 2 is no longer compatible with Flashbake; however, older versions remain in the archive for those who need them.

New (Linux): Support for Rhythmbox

• The Music plugin now supports Rhythmbox. The plugin doesn't require any configuration.
• It currently adds to the commit message every song played in the last 10 minutes. This can be changed by editing (minutes=10) on line 77 of the Music plugin script.
• This plugin is restricted by what Rhythmbox changes in its XML-based database. The most recently played song may not appear in the commit message.

New (Mac): Support for Music

• The Music plugin now supports the Music app that replaces iTunes in newer versions of macOS. Please see the Wiki for installation instructions. Most importantly, the Apple Script now has to be copied over to the root of the Documents folder.
• Older versions of macOS now have a separate iTunes plugin with a supporting Apple Script. Please see the Wiki for installation instructions. As with the Music for macOS feature, the iTunes Apple Script must be in the root of the Documents folder.

Deprecated features

• Growl: No longer supported by Flashbake as the project has been deprecated
• Identica: The social network as we knew it is no longer active
• Banshee: This music player isn't being actively developed. If you still need Banshee support please open an issue in the Flashbake repo on GitHub.
• Scrivener: There wasn't time to add the Scrivener plugin to Flashbake for the initial Python 3 release. There are plans for it to return in the future.
