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... |
