[Fred Gleason]

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.5.2.  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:
*** snip snip ***
If upgrading from a v1.x version of Rivendell, be sure to read the
'UPGRADING' file before proceeding for important information.

Changes:
   Binary Escape Codes.  It is now possible to craft messages for the
   'Serial Out' ['SO'] and 'UDP Out' ['UO'] RMLs containing arbitrary
   binary sequences.  See the 'BINARY DATA' section of 'docs/rml.sxw'
   for details.

   New Switcher Device.  A switcher driver has been added for the
   360 Systems AM16 Audio Crosspoint Switcher.  See 'docs/SWITCHERS.txt'
   for details.

   Multiple bug fixes.  See the ChangeLog for details.

Database Update:
   This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 220, 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*** snip snip ***
