Download Icecast 2.3.1

Icecast is a streaming media server with support for Ogg Vorbis and mp3 audio streams. The program can be used as a personal juxebox on your local network or as a radio station on the internet. For more information about how it works, we refer you to the documentation. The developers recently released version 2.3.1 with the following changes:

Version 2.3.1:

New features:
• new tag in state the trigger size (in KB) for cycling the log files.
• new tag in enable (1) if you want to use a timestamp for an extension when cycling logs.

Fixes:

• Handling of certain shoutcast source clients is fixed, this typically affected NSV source clients
• A race in source shutdown when listeners are authenticated could lead to server crash
• An audio glitch was possible in playback of vorbis streams when a new logical stream started (eg metadata update).
• stats speedup. Processing large numbers of stats was slow. Typically only seen when using lots of streams on the same server.
• 404 responses were being sent back in some places, now 403 is sent back.
• Auth URL now handles the authentication to scripts better.
• A streams intro file can now be changed, using HUP, on active streams.
• mount without a name crashed the server
• Various documentation updates

Version 2.3.0:

New features:
• Streaming support for ogg speex, ogg flac, ogg midi
• intro file support – per mount settable
• on-demand relays, global and per-relay settable
• fallback to file, extends on the intro file handling.
• new mount level settings
• New URL listener authenticator.
• HTPasswd authenticator uses in-memory structures now.
• On demand files now can be fed through an authenticator
• Update to admin/web xslt interface
• Icecast can now be installed as a win32 service

Fixes:

• real/helix works
• win32 access log correctly
• stats client is stable now (curl -X STATS http://admin@host:port/)
• show mountpoints on stats that are inactive but have an active fallback
• more updates about HUP possible
• improved stability under heavy load
• moving clients will no longer sometimes deadlock the server
• avoid small writes to reduce TCP overhead.
