Icecast1 doesn't get much attention any more, just necessary fixes like the security issues lately. Icecast2 is now in developement, which is much better and secure by design already. That, and Ogg Vorbis is keeping the developers busy, I suppose. I guess someone just noticed icecast.org not being that up-to-date and assumed that "they must be working elsewhere". Right, just not on Shoutcast and apparently not on the website either. If you want to know exactly what's going on, subscribe to cvs@xiph.org. That mailing list is one big changelog. If you want to try out what's currently in the making, go to www.xiph.org/cvs.html, read how to fetch sources from their CVS repository, get the icecast module, read the file HACKING in icecast/ and follow the instructions. (Same applies to ices2, and you'll also need libshout from CVS, at least that's how I do it.) Also, Oddsock has ported and compiled Icecast2 as a win32 binary and offers it for everyone to test on http://www.oddsock.org/icecast2/ . Comfy Ogg streaming with Winamp or XMMS as the source is also done with a tool from Oddsock: http://www.oddsock.org/tools/dsp_oddcast/ This all is still quite a hassle, but definitely worth the efforts. Icecast2 works perfectly for my puny once-in-a-while streaming and it has proven to work for big streamers like BBC, too. Icecast1 is obsolete for me now, especially since Winamp has now native support for playing Ogg streams. No I'm-lazy-argument works anymore for the victims of my 1-Listener-Only-Stream ... ;) <p>Moritz --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Just use the regular way of subscribing to a majordomo list by sending a mail to majordomo@xiph.org with "subscribe cvs" (w/o quotes) in the mail body. Don't expect daily updates on that list, though, not everything the developers work on gets commited immediately. It's mainly a good hint for non-developers like me to know when it is time to fetch new sources from CVS. <p>Moritz --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
