[LAA] Rivendell v2.3.0

[Fred Gleason]

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.3.0.  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:

If upgrading from a v1.x version of Rivendell, be sure to read the
'UPGRADING' file before proceeding for important information.

Changes:
   RDCartSlots Module.  A new Rivendell module has been added that is
   optimized for use in busy live assist environments, along with four
   new RMLs ('Load Slot' ['DL'], 'Play Slot' ['DP'], 'Stop Slot' ['DS']
   and 'Execute Breakaway' ['DX']) for automating its operation.

   RDAirPlay Enhancements.  A set of buttons for quickly locating a given
   hour has been added to the Full Log widget, enabled by checking the
   'Show Hour Selector' box in RDAdmin->ManageHost->RDAirPlay.

   JACK Enhancements.  It is now possible to specify the command-line
   used to start jackd(8) and a list of clients to start when
   starting the Rivendell service.  See RDAdmin->ManageHosts->JackSettings.

   Switcher/GPIO Device Support.  Added support for the Sine Systems ACU-1
   switcher.  See 'SWITCHERS.txt' for details.

   Cue Output Assignments.  Cue output assignments for all modules
   except RDAirPlay have now been consolidated into one setting in
   RDAirPlay->ManageHosts.

   Multiple bug fixes.  See the ChangeLog for details.

Database Update:
   This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 213, 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.
