Recent releases
- 02 Oct 2007 00:03
Changes: This release adds a few feature enhancements. For instance, if the "play" command is used while XMMS is playing, it will pause XMMS, and obviously using "play" while it is paused will cause it to play. A "mute" command toggle was also added. Volume can now be adjusted an arbitrary amount by adding a plus or minus in front of the percentage by which you want it adjusted, e.g. +3 or -10. The "addfile" command was depreciated and replaced with the "queue" command.

Changes: This release terminates gracefully if XMMS is not running. The '--start' command was also added to launch XMMS if there is not one already.

Changes: The QueryXMMS Remote Daemon has been added. This allows for the manipulation of XMMS over the network. It can be connected to with as simple an application as telnet, or with a custom client.
- 03 Feb 2006 23:49
Changes: This update added Seek and Change Skin commands. Seek allows you to skip around in a tune, as well as jump straight to a time. Change Skin forces XMMS to change to whatever skin commanded, which is great for desktop theme changing scripts. All previous commands and query parameters are still active.
- 18 Jan 2006 01:06
Changes: This release added more commands for XMMS remote control, more output switches, and various tweaks. The command list now includes Play, Pause, Stop, Next, Previous, Add File to Playlist, Volume Adjustment, and Jump To Playlist Entry in addition to the existing query output switches.
