Airsonic is maintained by [Eugene E. Kashpureff Jr](mailto:eugene@kashpureff.org). It originated as an unofficial("Kang") of Subsonic which did not contain the Licensing code checks present in the official builds. With the announcement of Subsonic's closed-source future, a decision was made to make a full fork and rebrand to Airsonic.

Airsonic will strive to maintain compatibility and stability for Subsonic users, including a clean upgrade path. New features and refactoring are welcomed as a Pull Request on GitHub.
|
Around July 2017, it was discovered that Eugene had different intentions/goals
|
||||||
|
for the project than some contributors had. Although the developers were
|
||||||
|
hesitant to create a fork as it would fracture/confuse the community even
|
||||||
|
further, it was deemed necessary in order to preserve a community-focused fork.
|
||||||
|
To reiterate this more clearly:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Airsonic's goal is to provide a full-featured, stable, self-hosted media server
|
||||||
|
based on the Subsonic codebase that is free, open source, and community driven.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Pull Requests are always welcome. Keep in mind that we strive to balance
|
||||||
|
stability with new features. As such, all Pull Requests are reviewed before
|
||||||
|
being merged to ensure we continue to meet our goals.
