Liquidsoap 0.9.2 is out !

The savonet team is proud to announce the release of liquidsoap [1] 0.9.2. This release is a snapshot of upcoming features, but it also brings several important bugfixes. As a snapshot, it contains experimental and unpolished features, and also slightly breaks compatibility with previous 0.9.x versions.

The interesting features in this release are:

• Switched to a custom implementation of the shout protocols. This allows in particular AAC+ output support, using either the external aacpluenc [2] binary or the native libaacplus [3] [4].
• New scheduling algorithm for request-based sources which avoids queueing multiple songs at once.
• Support for libre.fm [5].
• Built-in support for extracting replay gain [6] metadata.
• Supports for fallible outputs.
• MANY bugfixes !

You can read a detailed changelog there [7].

This release is a milestone on our way to liquidsoap 1.0.0. Major changes are going to be merged into the main development branch now. We keep getting closer!

The Debian package for sid/unstable will soon be available too.

Additionally, a stable debian backport should be available anytime soon.
