Icecast 2.4.1
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
Fixes
|
||
|
||
* Fix autogen.sh to work properly on OS X
|
||
* Removed threadpool from the example config (it is long gone and unused)
|
||
* More detailed logging:
|
||
Add source IP adress to source start/stop logging
|
||
Add mountpoints to some log lines
|
||
* Fix logging to send errors to STDERR prior to opening log files
|
||
* Fix <auth> in default mounts (<mount type="default">) to work properly
|
||
* Fix the JSON status API (status-json.xsl), which could return
|
||
invalid JSON in some cases
|
||
* SSL Security improvements:
|
||
Disable SSLv3
|
||
Disable SSL compression
|
||
Updated the default ciphers to be more secure
|
||
* Handle empty strings in config file better
|
||
* Fix logging of client connection duration time on Windows
|
||
* Fix possibly broken XML on Windows
|
||
* Require Content-Type header for PUT requests
|
||
* Fix on-connect and on-disconnect script STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR corruption
|
||
due to shared file descriptors. (CVE-2014-9018)
|
||
* Fix JSON access by adding support for global and mount specific
|
||
custom HTTP headers
|
||
|
||
Known issues
|
||
|
||
* HTTP PUT implementation currently doesn’t support chunked encoding yet.
|
||
* HTTP PUT with “Expect: 100-Continue” receives first a “100” and soon
|
||
after a “200”, instead of the “200” at the end of transmission.
|
||
* Caution should be exercised when using <on-connect> or <on-disconnect>,
|
||
as there is a small chance of stream file descriptors being mixed up
|
||
with script file descriptors, if the FD numbers go above 1024.
|
||
This will be further addressed in the next Icecast release.
|
||
* Don’t use comments inside <http-headers> as it will prevent processing
|
||
of further <header> tags.
|
||
* Webinterface shows Login when using just stream_auth.
|
||
|
||
Icecast 2.4.0
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
New features
|
||
|
||
* Support for Ogg Opus streams
|
||
* Support for WebM streams
|
||
* HTTP 1.1 PUT support for source connections. Deprecating SOURCE method.
|
||
* Default mount
|
||
This allows you to define a global set of defaults for all mounts.
|
||
This way you can use e.g. url-auth for sources and or listeners also for
|
||
dynamically generated mounts.
|
||
* Web interface redone
|
||
Web output properly redone, credit to ePirat.
|
||
Added <audio> element for supported audio streams.
|
||
Now validates completely as XHTML1.0 strict.
|
||
Improves rendering on mobile devices.
|
||
* Added basic JSON API (/status-json.xsl) based on a xml2json template by
|
||
Doeke Zanstra (see xml2json.xslt). Output is roughly limited to data also
|
||
visible through status.xsl.
|
||
* Send charset in HTTP headers for everything, excluding file-serv
|
||
and streams.
|
||
* Allow (standard strftime(3)) %x codes in <dump-file>. Disabled for win32.
|
||
* Added stream_start_iso8601, server_start_iso8601 to statistics.
|
||
ISO8601 compliant timestamps for statistics. Should make usage in e.g.
|
||
JSON much easier.
|
||
Added as new variables to avoid breaking backwards compatibility.
|
||
* Now compiles for win32 using mingw
|
||
* Added options headers and header_prefix to URL based listener auth.
|
||
* Updated listener_remove handler, added ip= and agent=
|
||
* Allow full URLs to be returned by the master server.
|
||
|
||
Fixes
|
||
|
||
* Security Fix: Override supplementary groups if <changeowner> is used
|
||
* Fixes for some race conditions
|
||
* Dropped debian packaging directory as debian use their own.
|
||
* Send proper HTTP headers in responses to clients.
|
||
* Corrected Content-Length header in admin (raw) requests. Thanks to paluh for reporting.
|
||
* Escape log entries in access log
|
||
* Fixed a memory leak. Lost headers of stream because of wrong ref counter in associated refbuf objects.
|
||
* Avoid memory leak in _parse_mount() when type-attribute is set
|
||
* Updated web interface to be XHTML compliant.
|
||
* Removed status2.xsl from release. It was only a broken example file anyway.
|
||
|
||
Known issues
|
||
|
||
* Will crash if certain config tags are left empty.
|
||
* Webinterface shows Login when using just stream_auth.

||
Icecast 2.4 beta1
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
Note: While WebM and Opus are production grade, there are other pending fixes.
|
||
|
||
- Support for WebM video
|
||
- Support for Opus audio in Ogg
|
||
- Fixes for some race conditions
|
||
- Allow (standard strftime(3)) %x codes in <dump-file>. Disabled for win32.
|
||
- Dropped debian packaging directory as debian use their own.
|
||
|
||
Icecast 2.3.3
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
- security fixes
|
||
|
||
- Improved HTTPS cipher handling and added support for chained certificates.
|
||
- Allow the source password to be undefined. There was a corner case, where
|
||
a default password would have taken effect. It would require the admin to
|
||
remove the 'source-password' from the icecast config to take effect.
|
||
Default configs ship with the password set, so this vulnerability doesn't
|
||
trigger there.
|
||
- Prevent error log injection of control characters by substituting
|
||
non-alphanumeric characters with a '.' (CVE-2011-4612).
|
||
Injection attempts can be identified via access.log, as that stores URL
|
||
encoded requests. Investigation if further logging code needs to have
|
||
sanitized output is ongoing.
|
||
|
||
- Bugfixes
|
||
This is mostly a bug-fix release to flush out the accumulated fixes.
|
||
|
||
- On-demand relaying - Reject listeners while reconnecting.
|
||
Fix stats for relays without mount section.
|
||
- Prevent too frequent YP updates.
|
||
- Only allow raw metadata updates from same IP as connected source
|
||
(unless user is admin). This addresses broken client software that
|
||
issues updates without being connected.
|
||
- Minor memory leaks
|
||
- XSPF file installation
|
||
- Fix case of global listeners count becoming out of sync.
|
||
- Setting an interval of 0 in mount should disable shoutcast metadata inserts.
|
||
|
||
- Authentication
|
||
Sources can now be authenticated via URL, like listeners. Post info is:
|
||
"action=stream_auth&mount=/stream&ip=IP&server=SERVER&port=8000&user=fred&pass=pass"
|
||
As admin requests can come in for a stream (eg metadata update) these
|
||
requests can be issued while stream is active. For these &admin=1 is added
|
||
to the POST details.
|
||
|
||
- XSL update
|
||
Automatically generate VCLT playlist like we do with M3U,
|
||
the mountpoint extension is .vclt
|
||
|
||
- Documentation updates.
|
||
|
||
Icecast 2.3.2
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
- Character set support.
|
||
Most non-Ogg streams (eg MP3) send metadata as Latin1 but it could be in other
|
||
character sets. As icecast uses UTF-8, we need to convert to UTF-8 so that web
|
||
pages and stream directories render correctly,
|
||
. Allow a per-mount <charset> setting. For when source clients do not
|
||
indicate which character set is in use.
|
||
. a charset= parameter to the metadata request.
|
||
. Default for non-Ogg content is now Latin-1 (aka ISO-8859-1), Ogg content
|
||
still use UTF-8.
|
||
|
||
- Authentication
|
||
. Each mountpoint authentication is isolated so one mount authentication does
|
||
not slow another mountpoint authentication down.
|
||
. XSL pages can require authentication.
|
||
. Add some sanity checks for incorrect settings.
|
||
|
||
- Listening socket update
|
||
. Allow multiple ports to be allocated which allow multiple shoutcast source
|
||
clients to stream on the same icecast instance.
|
||
. No internal limit on the number of listen-sockets that can be used.
|
||
. Allow for a listen-socket to be marked SSL capable. While any client could
|
||
connect on these, the idea is really for /admin requests.
|
||
. allow for a <listen-socket> to bind to ipv4 and ipv6. BSDs may require to
|
||
the use of bind-address.
|
||
|
||
- XSL update
|
||
. XSL pages include an xspf link for non-auth streams.
|
||
. XSL pages in both webroot and adminroot can take a mount= arg to limit
|
||
which stats are transformed.
|
||
. XSL files can specify the content-type to return to the client. It is no
|
||
longer fixed to html
|
||
|
||
- Updates for stream directory handling.
|
||
. A stream is not registered with the directory until after the first minute
|
||
has passed. some streams have been stuck in a connect/disconnect loop.
|
||
. Increase retry time on failure, if the stream add is rejected then it will
|
||
be down to a misconfiguration so a long retry delay is performed.
|
||
. A YP server that is not responding is ignored for a while
|
||
|
||
- Updates for Win32
|
||
. Build cleanups,
|
||
. Newer versions of dependency libs (libxml2/libxslt/libcurl etc)
|
||
. buffer overflow fixes when many streams are active
|
||
|
||
- Accept/Ban IP support.
|
||
Now takes filenames for explicitly accepting or denying requests from specified
|
||
IP addresses. Useful in cases where firewall access is not available. The
|
||
files, if defined, are re-read automatically if updated.
|
||
|
||
- A Mountpoint is exported to the slaves even if no mount section is defined for
|
||
it. You can still use the hidden setting to prevent that from happening.
|
||
|
||
- Relays handle redirection (HTTP 302) if one is received at startup.
|
||
|
||
- Automatically generate XSPF playlist like we do with M3U, the mountpoint
|
||
extension is .xspf
|
||
|
||
- Header updates for proxy handling and certain clients like some shoutcast
|
||
source clients and flash players.
|
||
|
||
- Added Kate/Skeleton codecs to Ogg handler.
|
||
|
||
- Various stats cleanups. Added some global stats (server ID, email contact etc).
|
||
|
||
- Documentation updates.
|
||
|
||
- The streamlist passed from master to slave had a limited length, so if there
|
||
were many streams then some could of been left out.
|
||
|
||
- Relay startup/shutdown is cleaner.
|
||
|
||
- several build cleanups.
|
||
|
||
- several resource leaks and race conditions fixed
|
||
|
||
|
||
Icecast 2.3.1
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
- new tag <logsize> in <logging> state the trigger size (in KB) for cycling the
|
||
log files.
|
||
|
||
- new tag <logarchive> in <logging> enable (1) if you want to use a timestamp
|
||
for an extension when cycling logs.
|
||
|
||
- Handling of certain shoutcast source clients is fixed, this typically
|
||
affected NSV source clients
|
||
|
||
- A race in source shutdown when listeners are authenticated could lead to
|
||
server crash
|
||
|
||
- An audio glitch was possible in playback of vorbis streams when a new logical
|
||
stream started (eg metadata update).
|
||
|
||
- stats speedup. Processing large numbers of stats was slow. Typically only
|
||
seen when using lots of streams on the same server.
|
||
|
||
- 404 responses were being sent back in some places, now 403 is sent back.
|
||
|
||
- Auth URL now handles the authentication to scripts better.
|
||
The order in which username/password are selected is
|
||
1. url is http://user:pass@host:port/....
|
||
2. <param name="username"> and <param name="password">
|
||
3. with listener_add/remove, listener supplied username/password is used.
|
||
|
||
- A streams intro file can now be changed, using HUP, on active streams.
|
||
|
||
- mount without a name crashed the server
|
||
|
||
- Various documentation updates
|
||
|
||
|
||
Icecast 2.3
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
**** New features for 2.3.0 ****
|
||
|
||
- Streaming support for ogg speex, ogg flac, ogg midi
|
||
|
||
- intro file support - per mount settable
|
||
Intro files will play when a listener first connects to a stream. 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
|
||
|
||
- Icecast can now be installed as a win32 service
|
||
|
||
**** 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
|
||
- improved stability under heavy load
|
||
- moving clients will no longer sometimes deadlock the server
|
||
- avoid small writes to reduce TCP overhead.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Icecast 2.2
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
****New features for 2.2 (in no particular order):****
|
||
|
||
- Theora Video support -
|
||
Icecast now supports video streaming via theora. Currently, we require the latest
|
||
(alpha 4) version of libtheora. This is an optional compile, so if you don't
|
||
have theora then icecast will safely ignore it
|
||
|
||
- Shoutcast style source client support -
|
||
Icecast now supports the connection protocol used by the Shoutcast DSP source
|
||
client. This is the same connection protocol used by their NSV encoding tools.
|
||
This means that not only can you use the Shoutcast DSP to stream to icecast, but
|
||
that you can also stream NSV via their tools.
|
||
|
||
- AAC is added as a supported streaming format -
|
||
Not too many source clients support streaming in this format, but we support it.
|
||
|
||
- Cluster password -
|
||
Now you can specify a cluster password as a <mount> option in the config. This
|
||
will allow you to cluster multiple servers/mounts into a single listing on the
|
||
stream directory. Note that this is different than "grouping" which groups together
|
||
streams coming from the same physical IP and with the same stream name. Clusters
|
||
are meant for relays of the same stream and will only be listed *once* in the stream
|
||
directory. When a listener tunes into a cluster, they will be served an m3u file
|
||
with all the clusters for that stream.
|
||
|
||
- Playlist Log -
|
||
This is an option setting that will create an audit trail of metadata that comes through
|
||
icecast. It is a single file that contains information for all mountpoints.
|
||
|
||
- Range Support for static files -
|
||
We now support seeking in files served off the icecast fserve.
|
||
|
||
- Metadata Update via Admin -
|
||
We now support metadata updates via the admin interface for both MP3 AND Ogg Vorbis
|
||
streams.
|
||
|
||
- Per mount hidden stats and YP prevention -
|
||
You many now indicate certains mounts to be excluded (i.e. hidden) from the main
|
||
status.xsl page. This is useful when using local private relays. You can also
|
||
override the YP setting (as in disable) on a per-mount basis. Also useful for
|
||
local private relays.
|
||
|
||
- Multiple example config files -
|
||
We now have multiple config files for you to use as a base. A "simple" one for
|
||
quick-start, and a more detailed "advanced" one with all the features, as well
|
||
as a "shoutcast compatable" one, which shows how you'd config for using the
|
||
shoutcast DSP.
|
||
|
||
- Relay user/pass -
|
||
You can now specify authentication used by a relay. This is for the case where
|
||
you have listener authentication enabled for a mountpoint, and want to connect
|
||
a relay to it.
|
||
|
||
Icecast 2.1 11/04/2004
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
****New features for 2.1 (in no particular order):****
|
||
|
||
-Listener Authentication-
|
||
|
||
Icecast now supports listener authentication. This provides a mechanism for
|
||
creating/maintaining users and passwords for listeners. Currently, we only
|
||
have implemented a simple, file-based storage for users and passwords. New
|
||
authenticators are on the horizon (such as URL-based or possibly MySQL based)
|
||
New admin pages were also added for the maintenance of users/passwords. Please
|
||
check the docs for a more detailed description of this new feature.
|
||
|
||
-Multi-Level Fallbacks-
|
||
|
||
Multi-level fallbacks allow for specifications of a series of fallback mounts
|
||
that you can use to automatically move listeners in the event of a source being
|
||
disconnected. In the event of new listeners attaching to the source stream that has
|
||
been disconnected, they are routed to the fallback mount (if specified).
|
||
Icecast now has fallback-override capability as well which means that in the event
|
||
of a source stream failure, listeners are moved to the fallback mount, and then
|
||
automatically recaptured when the original source stream returns.
|
||
|
||
-Burst-On-Connect-
|
||
|
||
This is an new, optional config setting which will send a initial burst of
|
||
data to connecting listeners. This has the effect of reducing
|
||
(significantly) the startup buffer latency from the end-user perspective.
|
||
This option is enabled by default.
|
||
|
||
|
||
****New Enhancements for 2.1****
|
||
|
||
-Update to admin interface-
|
||
|
||
This interface has been cleaned up quite a bit and made a bit nicer.
|
||
|
||
-Rewrite of the YP listing code-
|
||
|
||
The icecast yp code has received a complete overhaul by karl, and it's a much
|
||
more stable and failure-resistant implementation.
|
||
|
||
-Lots and lots of bugs fixed-
|
||
|
||
Check the ChangeLog for a complete list of these...
|
||
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
2003-10-12

||
2003-03-08
|
||
Support for shoutcast source protocol added.
|
||
|
||
2003-03-08
|
||
Started implementing generic admin interface. Supports (so far):

|
||
/admin/listclients?mount=/mountname
|
||
|
||
2003-03-05
|
||
Implemented the ability to reread the config file on SIGHUP. For now, this
|
||
does not affect configuration for currently running sources (only new
|
||
sources and global parameters like max-listeners)

||
|
||
2003-03-02
|
||
More features:
|

||
-- stream dumping (write incoming stream to disk)
|
||
|
||
2003-02-27

|
||
2002-12-31
|
||
Implement configurable mountpoint fallbacks (on source exit, clients are
|
||
