This is to announce the release of Icecast 2.4 beta.
We've landed some important features and we're looking forward to
testing and feedback.
As this is a beta release please discuss it on the icecast-dev mailing list.
(Please do NOT cross-post to both, do not reply to the icecast mailing list).
New features -
Support for Ogg Opus streams
Support for WebM streams
Bug fixes -
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.
There's more and significant changes in the pipe-line before the final 2.4,
so stay tuned.
Notes:
The race condition fixes include one that can impact Icecast performance for
setups where there are hundreds of concurrent source connections. On the other
hand it prevents bad-things? from happening in those setups.
If you used % in your dump-file names so far, this release might break that due
to the newly introduced strftime support.
Cheers

Already registered users who didn't verify their email so far or changed it since last verification will have to go through verification. Users who didn't set an email address will likely need to contact a Trac admin (try on IRC: freenode, #xiph)." ** Cheers Thomas
