[LAA] Rivendell 2.0.0beta1

[Fred Gleason]

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce 
the release of the second BETA snapshot of Rivendell 2.x, v2.0.0beta1.  
Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in 
professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General 
Public License.

From the NEWS file:

This is the second BETA release of Rivendell 2.x.  Some of the changes
include:

   Component Unbundling.  It is now possible to run the caed(8) and rdxport
   audio service components on separate hardware from that hosting the other
   Rivendell components.  Configured in RDAdmin->ManageHosts.

   Configurable Hotkeys.  It is now possible to assign shortcut keys for
   various functions in RDAirPlay on a host-by-host basis.  Configured in
   RDAdmin->ManageHost->RDAirPlay->ConfigureHotKeys.

   Various bugfixes.  See the ChangeLog for details.

Database Update:
   This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 202, and will
   automatically upgrade any earlier versions.  To see the current schema
   version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo.

   As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow 
   any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied.

Please note that this is a BETA release; it is intended primarily for testing 
and verification.  Do NOT put it on the air unless you understand precisely 
what you are doing.
