Rivendell v3.6.6

by Fred Gleason

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of the next production release of the next major version of Rivendell, 3.6.6. Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License version 2. From the 'NEWS' file: *** snip snip *** Changes: RDCastManager. Added an Online Feed Report that displays a bulleted list of items for a feed on the basis of the actual posted feed XML. RDImport. Added the ability to load copy-split audio sets (generic and regional) by means of ISCI-code named files. See the '--by-isci' option in the rdimport(1) man page. RDLibrary. Restored support for CD-Text for reading CD metadata. Fixed a bug in the podcasting subsystem that caused episodes to be automatically deleted immediately after being made active if the 'Air Date/Time' was set for the future and 'Item Expires' was set to 'No' in the 'Editing Item' dialog. Various bugfixes. See the ChangeLog for details. Database Update: This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 347, and will automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo. Be sure to run 'rddbmgr --modify' (as root) immediately after upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied. *** snip snip *** Details and source code are available at https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/rivendell/releases <https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/rivendell/releases>. Cheers! |---------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.
