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 could use, for instance, to set up a series of progressively lower
bitrate streams that would be cascaded through. For instance, a modem user
would connect to the highest bitrate stream, and then could be cascaded
down to a progressively lower stream until they reach a value they can
handle.
-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
Added documentation
2003-04-23
Support aliases
2003-03-09
Support listening on multiple sockets.
2003-03-08
Support for shoutcast source protocol added.
2003-03-08
Started implementing generic admin interface. Supports (so far):
- dynamic configuration of mount fallbacks
/admin/fallbacks?mount=/mount&fallback=/fallback
- setting of mp3 metadata
/admin/metadata?mount=/mount&mode=updinfo&song=New%20Title
- dumping raw xml stats
/admin/rawstats
- listing all connected clients on a mountpoint:
/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:
-- per mountpoint listener maxima
-- static configuration of mountpoint fallbacks
-- stream dumping (write incoming stream to disk)
2003-02-27
Fix log buffering on win32 - previously, logs were never flushed, so they
only got output every few tens or hundreds of lines.
2003-02-27
Support new icy-audio-info header, to communicate various parameters to
clients and yp servers, including sample rate, quality, channels, bitrate
2003-02-25
Full support for relaying mp3 metadata (if turned on in config file)
2003-02-25
Allow configuration of maximum client queue length (in bytes)
2003-02-14
Finished full IPv6 support.
2003-02-12
Allow configuring local mountpoint seperately from remote mountpoint for
relays
2003-02-12
Per mountpoint usernames and passwords (for sources)
2003-02-11
Now that it's been officially assigned, use application/ogg instead of
application/x-ogg
2003-02-07
Allow relaying of mp3 streams from icecast 1.x and shoutcast
2003-02-07
Added ability to configure individual relays (rather than just all streams
from a single server).
2003-02-03
Added support for YP directory services listings
are only used by the yp listing routines
2003-02-03
Support command line parameter -b to run in the background (not supported
on win32)
2002-12-31
Implement configurable mountpoint fallbacks (on source exit, clients are
transferred to another mountpoint automatically, without disconnecting
them)
2002-12-31
Implemented full mp3 metadata support.
(older stuff is missing from here)
