1.9.0 - ???, 2011
The cool stuff:
* New file storage system.
* Human-readable file structure. The directory structure and file names on disk are now
human-readable. This means you can easily find files using your file browser on your
server.
* Magic file synchronization. Edits to your files are automatically noticed by Airtime. If
you edit any files on disk, such as trimming the length of a track, Airtime will
automatically notice this and adjust the playlist lengths and shows for that audio file.
* Auto-import and multiple-directory support. You can set any number of directories to be
watched by Airtime. Any new files you add to watched directories will be automatically
imported into Airtime, and any deleted files will be automatically removed.
* Graceful recovery from reboot. If the playout engine starts up and detects that a show
should be playing at the current time, it will skip to the right point in the track and
start playing. Previously, Airtime would not play anything until the next show started.
This also fixes a problem where the metadata on the stream was lost when a file had
cue-in/out values set. Thanks to the Liquidsoap developers for implementing the ability
to do all of this!
* Output to Shoutcast. Now both Shoutcast and Icecast are supported.
* No more rebooting after install! Airtime now uses standard SystemV initd scripts instead of
non-standard daemontools. This also makes for a much faster install.
* Extensible daemon monitoring system. The tool "monit" is being used to monitor the
daemon processes(playout engine, media monitor, etc) and automatically restart them in the
unlikely event that a daemon crashes. It also allows you to easily add your own actions when
something happens with a daemon. For example, you could send yourself an email notification if
a daemon process dies.
Improvements:
* Cumulative time shown on playlists. The Playlist Builder now shows the total time since
the beginning of the playlist for each song.
* "End Time" instead of "Duration". In the Add/Edit Show dialog, we replaced the "Duration"
field with "End Time". Users reported that this was a much more intuitive way to schedule the
show. Duration is still shown as a read-only field.
* Feedback & promotion system. Airtime now includes a way to send feedback and promote your
site on the Sourcefabric web page. This will greatly enhance our ability to understand who is
using the software, which in turn will allow us to make appropriate features and receive grant
funding.
Bug fixes:
* Fixed bug where you couldnt import a file with a name longer than 255 characters.
* Fixed bug where searching an audio archive of 15K+ files was slow.
1.8.2 - June 8, 2011
2011-05-19 21:51:50 +02:00
Highlights:
* Improvements:
- You can now download audio files from the search screen and from the "Show Content" screen.
- The "Now Playing" screen now shows whether a show is being recorded.
- In the "Playlist Builder" screen, you can now edit the title of the playlist and the description inline, without having to switch to another page.
- When you click on "Add Show", the cursor is placed on the show title field and a default name is automatically filled in.
- It is now possible to cancel a show that was recording.
- An new command-line program was added to verify an installation and help identify where problems are: "airtime-check-system"
- Airtime now runs on Ubuntu 11.04 (though we do not offer support for this).
* Bug fixes:
- Fixed serious problem with the upgrading and installing process. The Airtime install will now automatically detect if you should upgrade or install and take the appropriate action. Reinstalls cannot happen except by using a specific command.
- "Show Contents" screen will now display properly on smaller screens.
- Install/uninstall now works on Debian without needing the "sudo" command.
- Editing a playlist name or deleting a playlist now reflects immediately in the media search window.
- In the "Add Media" page, the "start upload" button vanished after upload. Now it remains there after upload so it is possible to upload again.
- When canceling a playing show, the currently playing audio file still showed as playing. This has been fixed.
- Audio files greater than 100MB were not being played.

1.8.0 - April 19, 2011
2011-04-19 17:12:16 +02:00
* The biggest feature of this release is the ability to edit shows. You can
change everything from ‘ ’ ‘ ’ ‘ ’
rebroadcast days. Show instances will be dynamically created or removed as
needed. Radio stations will be pleased to know they can now have up to
ten rebroadcast shows too.
* Airtime’
a station schedule is now five to eight times faster. In our tests of 1.7,
if the month calendar had shows scheduled for every hour of every day, it
used to take 16 seconds to load. Now in 1.8 it takes two seconds.
* It is possible to have up to ten rebroadcast shows now, in 1.7 it was only
up to five.
* Airtime’
flexibility: --preserve to keep your existing config files, or --overwrite
to replace your existing config files with new ones. Uninstall no longer
removes Airtime config files or the music storage directory.
* New improved look & feel of the calendar (thanks to the "FullCalendar"
jQuery project).
* Installation now puts files in standard locations in the Linux file
hierarchy, which prepares the project to be accepted into Ubuntu and Debian.
Also because of our wish to be part of those projects, the default output
stream type is now OGG instead of MP3 -- due to MP3 licensing issues.
This configuration can be changed in "/etc/airtime/liquidsoap.conf".
* You now have the ability to start and stop pypo and the show recorder from
the command line with the commands "airtime-pypo-start",
"airtime-pypo-stop", "airtime-show-recorder-start", and
"airtime-show-recorder-stop".
