[LAA] Rivendell v2.5.3

[Fred Gleason]

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.5.3.  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:
   Multitrack Rip Support.  It is now possible to rip multiple CD tracks
   into a single cut using the single cut ripper in RDLibrary.

   RDCartSlot Enhancements.  It is now possible to set custom 'one off'
   Start and End cuepoints for events.

   Spinitron Integration.  A 'spinitron_plus' RLM has been added that can
   be used to log PAD data to the Spinitron playlist service
   (http://www.spinitron.com), as well as a cart data export that can be
   used to populate Spinitron MusicDB libraries.  See the Spinitron
   'Automation Integration' document 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.
