Enhancements
- Replace printf and LOG_ERROR with LOG_INFO, LOG_WARN, LOG_PERROR throughout src/app/process.c, src/app/watch.c, and src/audio/config.c
- Use LOG_INFO for headings and formatted tables in sound‑pack listing
- Add missing includes and clean up header organization
Bug Fixes
- Use LOG_PERROR for pipe, fork, and execl failures to log errno correctly
- Ensure proper newline handling in config‑watcher log messages
New Features
- Introduce structured logging for configuration file changes and reload notifications
- Provide clearer usage guidance via LOG_INFO
Introduce API to load sound configurations and expand SoundPack with richer audio data for multi‑key mappings and generic press handling, enabling more flexible audio management.
New Features
- Added `load_sound_config` prototype in `include/audio/config.h`.
Enhancements
- Extended `SoundPack` with generic press arrays, release data fields, and multi‑key mapping structs.
- Added `AudioVoice` struct and `MAX_MIXER_VOICES` for voice management.
- Added `generic_press_data`, `generic_press_samples`, `release_data`, and `release_samples` fields.
The new function writes a runtime state file to track the system volume following setting.
- New Features
- Added `write_runtime_system_volume_following_file` to persist system volume following state.
Implement configurable system volume following and replace JSON IPC with binary struct.
- New Feature: Introduce `system_volume_following` CLI and runtime option.
- Enhancement: Extend CLI options, reload, and user‑config APIs to propagate the new flag.
- Enhancement: Add `VbxEvent` binary IPC struct and logging macros for better performance.
- Enhancement: Add helper to persist system volume following state.
- Bug Fix: Remove stale `parse_keyboard_event` prototype.
New Features:
- Added command-line option for system volume following and a background thread that polls the default audio sink volume
- Integrated the polled volume multiplier into playback volume calculations
- Introduced new runtime states and flags for system volume tracking
Enhancements:
- Replaced scattered printf debugging with standardized LOG_ERROR/DEBUG/WARN macros
- Pre‑read all runtime states before spawning threads, simplifying the main loop
- Detached the poller thread to run continuously without blocking the main loop
Bug Fixes:
- Extended argument count validation to accommodate the new flag
- Updated thread creation error logging to use LOG_ERROR instead of fprintf
- Fixed potential race by initializing the volume multiplier before playback threads start
The flag enables automatic scaling of vbx output to match the host system's volume, improving user experience without manual adjustments.
- New Feature: Added `--system-volume-following=0/1` option to enable dynamic tracking.
- Enhancement: Implemented intelligent volume scaling that maintains punchiness across different OS volume levels.
- Enhancement: Updated documentation with detailed explanation of volume mechanics.
Replace numerous printf statements with LOG_* macros, introduce system_volume_following parameter, and improve error handling throughout the daemon.
New Features
- Introduce LOG_INFO, LOG_ERROR, LOG_WARN for unified diagnostics.
- Add support for system_volume_following when spawning child processes.
- Log detailed startup information instead of raw printf.
Enhancements
- Refactor start_children signature to accept the new parameter.
- Use strerror(errno) in error logs for clearer messages.
- Improve signal handling output and reload request logging.
Bug Fixes
- Correct error formatting for pipe, fork, chdir, and execl failures.
- Ensure proper handling of system_volume_following_str initialization.
- Replace daemon‑specific prints with appropriate log levels.
