[Fred Gleason]

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.4.0.  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:
   New Translation.  A Czech [CS] translation has been added by
   Pavel Fric <pavelfric at seznam.cz>.

   New Cart/Cut Purge Option.  A new option has been added in
   RDAdmin->ManageGroups to allow empty carts to be automatically deleted
   after purging.

   New Reports.  'NPR SoundExchange' and 'Music Playout' reports
   have been added in RDAdmin->ManageReports.

   Multiple bug fixes.  See the ChangeLog for details.

Database Update:
   This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 216, 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.
