Icecast Docs — Changes

Support for Ogg Opus streams
Support for WebM streams
HTTP 1.1 PUT support for source connections. Deprecating SOURCE method
Default mount
This allows you to define a global set of defaults for ALL mounts. This way you can use e.g. url-auth for sources and or listeners also for dynamically generated mounts.
Web interface redone
- Web output properly redone, credit to ePirat
- Added <audio> element for supported audio streams
- Now validates completely as XHTML1.0 strict
- Also improves rendering on mobile devices
Added basic JSON API (/status-json.xsl) based on a xml2json template by Doeke Zanstra (see xml2json.xslt). Output is roughly limited to data also visible through status.xsl
Send charset in HTTP headers for everything, excluding file-serv and streams
Allow (standard strftime(3)) %x codes in <dump-file>. Disabled for Win32
Added stream_start_iso8601, server_start_iso8601 to statitics. ISO8601 compliante timestamps for statistics. Should make usage in e.g. JSON much easier. Added as new variables to avoid breaking backwards compatibility
Now compiles for Win32 using mingw
Added options headers and header_prefix to URL based listener auth
Updated listener_remove handler, added ip= and agent=
Allow full URLs to be returned by the master server

Security fix: Override supplementary groups if is used
Fixes for some race conditions
Dropped debian packaging directory as debian use their own.
Send proper HTTP headers in responses to clients.
Corrected Content-Length: header in admin (raw) requests. Thanks to paluh for reporting.
Escape log entries in access log
Fixed a memory leak. Lost headers of stream because of wrong ref counter in associated refbuf objects.
Avoid memory leak in _parse_mount() when type-attribute is set
Updated web interface to be XHTML compliant.
Removed status2.xsl from release. It was only a broken example file anyway.

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:
- public, type/subtype, genre settings, stream description,
- stream url, stream name, bitrate (override what is sent from the source client)
- mp3 metadata interval
- on-[dis]connect scripts can be stated per-mount, invoked at source start/stop and take 1 arg which is the mountpoint.
New URL listener authenticator .included is an example php-based application that can be used in conjunction with the url authenticator to manage a simple subscription-based broadcast.
HTPasswd authenticator uses in-memory structures now.
On demand files now can be fed through an authenticator
Update to admin/web xslt interface
