Nightingale is a completely free, open source audio player and web browser based on the Songbird media player source code. As such, Nightingale’s engine is based on the Mozilla XULRunner with libraries such as the GStreamer media framework and libtag providing media tagging and playback support, amongst others. Since official support for Linux was dropped by Songbird in April, 2010, Linux-using members of the Songbird community diverged and created the project. Contrary to Songbird, which is primarily licensed under the GPLv2 but includes artwork that is not freely distributable, Nightingale is entirely free software, licensed under the GPLv2, with portions under the MPL and BSD licenses.

Nightingale 1.12.1 is finally released! Existing installations of the last release version of Nightingale (1.12) on Windows or Mac OS X will give you the opportunity to automatically update to the new version. For Linux users the packages are updated; if you installed from a tarball on Linux you’ll have to update by grabbing a new one from the download page

What’s new?

We cleaned up quite a bit: More legacy code from Songbird was removed or disabled, thus we expect the release to be more stable. There are also some bugs fixed, such as the Unity integration causing a crash in Ubuntu 13.04, battery drain in OS X Lion or newer and playback not properly updating the play counts.

As mentioned in a previous blog post, freaktechnik implemented some beautiful firstrun pages, which will present you changes after updates or overall information on the very first start. Through our newly introduced statistics page, this will also help us to track installations and upgrades to find update-related issues. Note that if you dislike the firstrun page, you can visit about:config and set the preference ‘nightingale.update.url’ to ”.

Additionally, GeekShadow implemented a new localization infrastructure and will contact past Songbird translators. He got rid of the last Songbird references, and thanks to our translators and reviewers many locales were improved quite a lot. However, there are still some locales without maintainers; and even if your locale already has one it would be great if you volunteer for proofreading and translating Nightingale’s strings! When updating, you may need to re-download the language packs for this change to take effect.

We also did some backend work switching to a new update infrastructure, as Google Code shuts down its downloads section. Updates are now handled through GitHub, where we also keep our main source code repository. An issue preventing Linux updates got fixed as well, so you should be able to auto-update from tarballs in the future.

As this is our first release after the shutdown of Songbird we replaced everything provided through Songbird infrastructure with our own services. To see everything we changed in 1.12.1, check out the official release notes.

The IDs of some add-ons changed, namely mashTape, SHOUTcast and Last.fm. This means Nightingale will find new add-ons and ask you, if you want to install them. Since the ID changed, they will not override the existing extensions. The previous versions of those add-ons will show up in the extensions manager as incompatible with Nightingale 1.12.1 and can be uninstalled.

Unity and libnotify integration have been split up into two optional components. Thanks to this the nightingale-nounity package now also includes libnotify integration. For those who don’t want, or can’t use our PPA, we still offer GNOME/Unity integration builds.

Enjoy the latest version of Nightingale, update or install it and listen to your favorite songs. We’d love to hear your feedback in the forums or on the IRC channel, #nightingale on irc.mozilla.org. As always, we’re looking for testers, developers, theme makers, and users to idle in our forums and IRC, not to mention help out with the project. Feel free to join!

Spread the word – and enjoy the tune of life!
