AzuraCast v0.9.8 Release Notes
Release Date: 2019-11-23 // over 4 years ago-
🆕 New Features
⚡️ Updated to Liquidsoap 1.4.0 : Both Ansible and Docker installations have been updated to version 1.4.0 of Liquidsoap. This new version introduces smarter crossfading, better UTF-8 support and a number of quality-of-life improvements. Some of the syntax of the new version is not backwards-compatible with the previous versions, so updating is highly recommended for all users to avoid errors.
🆕 New Playlist Manager : Alongside the new Media Manager released in the previous version, we have also rebuilt the Playlist manager to be a fully interactive Vue.js component. This allows for inline editing, reordering, and removal of playlists, and support for the new scheduling features detailed below.
⏱ Playlist Scheduling Improvements : All playlist types can now be scheduled, and any single playlist can now have multiple schedule entries. Schedule entries can also have a start and end date, for limited-time announcements or seasonal content.
🐛 Bug Fixes/Updates
- ⏱ Increased the timeout allotted to backups (#2149, #1717) and backup restoration (#2166).
- 🐳 The built-in Docker FTP service will now use the correct external IP for PASV connections, so it will be compatible with significantly more clients.
- When specifying times for media fade-in/fade-out/cue-in/cue-out, you can specify the time in mm:ss format rather than in total seconds if you prefer (#2117).
- Various accessibility improvements across the system.
- 👷 Saving playlists will no longer block the web request, and will be handled instead by a separate worker process, allowing for larger playlists to be saved more frequently (#2068).
- ✅ Modified the way we check for the latest CA certificates to avoid stability issues.
- 🛠 Fixed a bug where clicking breadcrumb navigation in the Media Manager would show all files as "not processed" (#2086).
- Avoid writing to a temporary directory in cases where a song is already locally stored on the server, which should cut down significantly on temporary directory sizes.
