0.3

0.3.0 - 2025-11-21

Added

• recordctl:
  • New dump (-d) option for dumping all controls and their possible values (equivalent to sndioctl(1) -d)
  • Implemented previously stubbed monitor (-m) mode (equivalent to sndioctl(1) -m), including:
    • New -c for specifying the number of seconds between checks for changes to control values
  • New mix.monitor control exposing and manipulating sndiod(8) configuration for a monitor mix via rcctl(8):
    • Checks whether sndiod(8) flags configured in rcctl(8) end with -m play,mon -s mon (mix monitor) or not
    • Warns if running sndiod(8) process has different flags than configured in rcctl(8)
    • Restarts sndiod(8) via rcctl(8) when setting control value, if necessary
• CHANGELOG.md:
  • Added this CHANGELOG file with detailed documentation for all prior releases

Changed

• recordctl:
  • Only requires root privileges when setting control values, not getting/monitoring control values
  • Improved warnings and error messages when incompatible options and arguments are combined
  • General improvements to code structure
• Documentation:
  • Significant rewrite of README and recordctl.8 manual page to reflect:
    • Displays and manipulates more than just sysctl(8) recording controls, but also sndiod(8) configuratiion via rcctl(8)
    • Document and provide examples for new:
      • mix.monitor control
      • Dump (-d) and monitor (-m) modes

0.2

0.2.0 - 2025-10-24

Added

• recordctl:
  • New list all (-a) option to show both audio and video record control states
  • New no name (-n) option to suppress printing control name and only print the value
• Makefile:
  • New uninstall target

Changed

• recordctl:
  • Now lists audio and video record states (-a) by default, instead of toggling states (-t)
  • Changed options for showing/setting audio & video record state (-a & -v, respectively) to a control syntax like OpenBSD's sysctl(8), mixerctl(8), and sndioctl(1): record.audio and record.video, respectively
  • Improved built-in help (-h)
  • Replaced use of echo with printf
• Documentation:
  • Moved manual page from section 1 to section 8 to better reflect that recordctl manipulates system configuration
  • Updated recordctl.8 manual page and README to reflect new control syntax, options, and defaults
• Makefile:
  • Restructured for easier maintenance and expansion

Removed

• recordctl:
  • Removed previously supported state aliases for control values 0 (0, no, off, or disable) and 1 (1, yes, on, or enable), so controls now only accept values 0..1

0.1.2

0.1

0.1.0 - 2024-07-29

Added

• recordctl:
  • Sets or toggles audio and/or video recording in the OpenBSD kernel via sysctl(8)'s kern.audio.record and/or kern.video.record, respectively:
    • Toggles both audio and video recording by default
    • Supports explicitly setting either/both audio (-a) or video (-v) recording to 'enabled' (1, yes, on, or enable) or 'disabled' (0, no, off, or disable) states
    • Supports quieting (-q) output of sysctl(8) output when setting state
  • Stubs a monitor (-m) mode (see sndioctl(1) -m) for future implementation
