Liquidsoap 0.3.8 released.
Wednesday 30 July 2008, by
Liquidsoap 0.3.8 has just been released.
Initially targeted as a bugfix release, fixing a nasty race condition in playlist sources, this release is finally more important.
It can be seen as the first minor release after the major changes that occured in 0.3.7. Several issues where fixed, but also new functionalities have been added, mostly on users’ request.
We also had a nice beer two weeks ago. There, we have met some users as well as developers. This was a nice occasion to discuss free software *and* have free beer, thanks to the price we won from the Cr@ns Innovation trophy!
The liquidsoap language is now becoming more and more expressive. Some nice examples can now be found on the new website, in particular this one.
As usual, the debian package has been uploaded to the sid distribution as well. It is not known yet if this release will be targeted for lenny.
To conclude, here is the full changelog:
