* Move -m and -n command line options into the config file
* Restructure configuration file:
- Group into "server", "stream", "media", "metadata", "decoders", and
"encoders"
- Untangle decoder and encoder:
o Decoders match on file extensions and convert to a canonical "internal"
format
o Encoders create one of the supported stream formats, potentially using
different parameters (like bitrate)
- Consistently specify stream format
- Enable reencoding by selecting an encoder
* Architecturally separate configuration file storage from parsing
- Allows for different configuration back-ends in the future, like
YAML, SQL, REST API, ...
* Support roll-back in case of error on (re)load
* Anticipate HTTPS support
The libxalloc was reincarnated long ago in a separate utility library.
It did a good job help make ezstream have robust memory management years ago,
but now it's time to move on and get back to basics.
The replacement introduces reallocarray(), which is an overflow-checking
alternative to both malloc (NULL ptr) and realloc().
This makes ezstream log via syslog and stderr. The "real-time status
line" remains unaffected.
While here, make the output more concise and consistent.
This has been reported by Alexandre Rebert in February 2013(!).
The time to fix is terrible; luckily, the affected user base is likely to be
very small.
Add new <metadata_refreshinterval/> feature and configuration option. Based on
a patch by Matthew Adams (thanks!), with minor changes and documentation
additions by me.

file was to prevent a very verbose infinite loop (e.g. when accidentially
playing an outdated playlist.) Bring that back by aborting after 100 subsequent
errors.

metadata.

myself.

* Add 'charset=UTF-8' to the metadata update query arguments. The current
release of Icecast will ignore it, and the next one will know how to handle
it (karl@ is still working on it at this point, but previous diffs worked
as advertised.)
* If no metadata format string is available and we have both an artist and
a title, use the artist/title way of updating instead of the generic "song"
interface.

disagree with the new ISO-8859-1 assumption for non-Ogg streams, because
(for example) with ID3 tags, a codeset is simply not part of the specification
and a better assumption would be that they are in the user's locale.
Therefore, it would make more sense, IMO, to clearly specify that ANY metadata
sent to Icecast should be UTF-8 and let the source client figure out the rest.
This would also answer the question what codeset an /admin user should use if
the content type of a mountpoint isn't known (although that can be figured out
with an unclean read of the mountpoint's stats beforehand.)

out that there is still a problem with MP3 streams that are being reencoded.
This allows me to try out more solutions.

for normalizing metadata strings, which -- I assume -- is due to strange
(MP3) encoders that do weird things. Well, why not. It's not too intrusive,
and disabled by default. Enable string normalization with the new -n command
line parameter.

changes in 0.3.0 and subsequently forgotten. Sorry for the inconvenience,
and thanks for the report.
