<h2>Version 2.4.0</h2>
<h3>New Features</h3>
<p>
<ul>
<li> Support for Ogg Opus streams
<li> Support for WebM streams
<li> HTTP 1.1 PUT support for source connections. Deprecating SOURCE method.
<li> <em>Default mount.</em> -
This <mount type="default"> 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.
<li> <em>Web interface redone</em> -
<ul>
<li> Web output properly redone, credit to ePirat.
<li> Added &lt;audio&gt; element for supported audio streams.
<li> Now validates completely as XHTML1.0 strict.
<li> Also improves rendering on mobile devices.
</ul>
<li> 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.
<li> Send charset in HTTP headers for everything, excluding file-serv and streams.
<li> Allow (standard strftime(3)) %x codes in &lt;dump-file&gt;. Disabled for win32.
<li> Added stream_start_iso8601, server_start_iso8601 to statitics.
ISO8601 compliante timestamps for statistics. Should make usage in
e.g. JSON much easier.
Added as new variables to avoid breaking backwards compatibility.
<li> Now compiles for win32 using mingw
<li> Added options "headers" and "header_prefix" to URL based listener auth.
<li> Updated listener_remove handler, added ip= and agent=,
<li> Allow full URLs to be returned by the master server.
</ul>
<h3>Fixes</h3>
<ul>
<li> <strong>SECURITY FIX</strong> - Override supplementary groups if <changeowner> is used
<li> Fixes for some race conditions
<li> Dropped debian packaging directory as debian use their own.
<li> Send proper HTTP headers in responses to clients.
<li> corrected Content-Length: header in admin (raw) requests. Thanks to paluh for reporting.
<li> Escape log entries in access log
<li> Fixed a memory leak. Lost headers of stream because of wrong ref
counter in associated refbuf objects.
<li> avoid memory leak in _parse_mount() when "type"-attribute is set
<li> Updated web interface to be XHTML compliant.
<li> Removed status2.xsl from release. It was only a broken example file anyway.
</ul>
<h3>Known issues</h3>
<ul>
<li> Will crash if certain config tags are left empty.
</ul>
</p>
<h2>Version 2.3</h2>
<h3>New Features</h3>
<p>
<li> Streaming support for ogg speex, ogg flac, ogg midi
<li> intro file support - per mount settable
<li> on-demand relays, global and per-relay settable
<li> fallback to file, extends on the intro file handling.
<li> new mount-level settings
<ol>
<li>public, type/subtype, genre settings, stream description,
<li>stream url, stream name, bitrate
(override what is sent from the source client)
<li>mp3 metadata interval
<li>on-[dis]connect scripts can be stated per-mount, invoked at source
start/stop and take 1 arg which is the mountpoint.
</ol>
<li> New URL listener authenticator
.included is an example php-based application that can be used
in conjunction with the url authenticator to manage a simple
subscription-based broadcast.
<li> HTPasswd authenticator uses in-memory structures now.
<li> On demand files now can be fed through an authenticator
<li> Update to admin/web xslt interface
<h3>Fixes</h3>
<li> real/helix works
<li> win32 access log correct

<li> more updates over HUP possible
