This + is designed for station jingles and the like. If you don't broadcast + in ogg vorbis, you must make sure the bitrate/samplerate/number of + channels match up to your stream. + +- on-demand relays, global and per-relay settable + On demand relays only connect to the relayed content when there are + listeners attached to the relay. This can save bandwidth in certain cases. + +- fallback to file, extends on the intro file handling. + With this feature, you can specify a "fallback file" which will be played + in a loop and sent your currently connected listeners in the event of a + source client disconnect. This means your listeners stay connected while + you fix your disconnect problem. Same rules regarding bitrate/samplerate/ + number of channels apply as with intro files. + +- new mount-level settings + 1. public, type/subtype, genre settings, stream description, + stream url, stream name, bitrate (override what is sent from the source + client) + 2. mp3 metadata interval + 3. on-[dis]connect scripts can be stated per-mount, invoked at source + start/stop and take 1 arg which is the mountpoint. + +- New URL listener authenticator. + This delegates your listener authorization to an external application. + URL calls are made on listener connect/disconnect as well as source + connect/disconnect. It is meant for large broadcasters who have existing + authentication systems that need to be integrated into. Included is + an example php-based application that can be used in conjunction with + the url authenticator to manage a simple subscription-based broadcast. + +- HTPasswd authenticator uses in-memory structures now. + +- On demand files now can be fed through an authenticator + +- Update to admin/web xslt interface + +**** Fixes for 2.3.0 **** +- real/helix works +- win32 access log correct +- stats client is stable now (curl -X STATS http://admin@host:port/) +- show mountpoints on stats that are inactive but have an active fallback +- more updates over HUP possible + + Icecast 2.2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ****New features for 2.2 (in no particular order):****
