Renamed PlayShell.Startup.show_help_info_only to PlayShell.show_help_info_and_exit. Renamed PlayShell.Startup.show_version_only to PlayShell.show_version_and_exit. Some whitespace and unused variable cleanups in Config.parse_file(). Simplified an error message about creating directories; dropped unnecessary use of ' ? -gt/-ne 0 '.

0.2.222 Jun 2016 14:11 major feature: * 0.2.2 (2016/04.02) Fixed installer: man1 directory does not get created. Some minor changes were also made. Simplified Play.Players.stop_by_signals() and made in-between signals timeout shorter. Prioritized MPlayer over VLC by default when playing video files since MPlayer allows fast-forwarding and rewinding in its interface and VLC does not. Removed extra leading space in the first line of log.sh. Renamed ChangeLog to ChangeLog.txt. * 0.2.1 (2016/03/04) Fixed lock-up in Play.List.insert() caused by removing integer attribute on a variable with assignment. Fixed the manual page. Explicitly disabled video output in setups of mplayer that only plays audio to prevent it from showing thumbnails in m4a files. When EUID == 0, PlayShell will now also use "vlc" if "vlc-wrapper" doesn't work: "Cannot determine unprivileged user for VLC!" Made VLC the defaut player after gst123 in some audio formats. Removed exec's in command substitutions since they don't make a difference. Improved trim_trailing_spaces.sh. Added this changelog file. * 0.2 (2015/12/29) First stable milestone release.
