ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 7.0.0

[ralphy]

I have a program that I've been running for years on various systems which, when built on picoreplayer, surprised me with a segfault. I went looking for gdb, and ... was surprised again. :-) Is gdb hidden in some unexpected extension?

My system version is: piCorePlayer v7.0.0 | www v00011 | linux 5.4.83-pcpCore-v7 | piCore v12.0pCP | Squeezelite v1.9.8-1287-pCP

Also -- in case the fault is toolchain-related, I assume that "compiletc.tcz" is the right toolchain, for this version of the system, right?

I'll find the fault with successive printf's eventually, but a debugger would be convenient.

Yes, that is the right toolchain.

I built a gdb extention for pcp 6 last year as there wasn't one available from the tinycore 10.x repository, but it seems to work okay on pcp 7 32bit only.
If you don't find gdb in the tinycore 12.x repository you can try mine. It's not in our picoreplayer repository, so you'll need to install it manually.

Login as the tc user and run the commands in bold.

Thanks -- last time I tried to get something from the tinycore repo I had trouble finding a download link. I think I was successful eventually, though -- oh, I remember, I had to go to a mirror -- I'll try that. Thanks!

The squeezelite extension has been updated to v1.9.9.1364 to support the new Balance control.

The new feature requires LMS 8.2.0-1614413430 from February 27th 2021 or newer then in the middle of the LMS Player Audio Settings adjust the Balance slider and click Apply.



Thanks to philippe44 for both the LMS feature and squeezelite change.
