On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.19.0. 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: *** snip snip *** Changes: Log Locking. Implemented a system-wide protocol to prevent changes made to a log on one host from being inadvertently overwritten from another host. Log Importation Changes. Changed music and traffic importation so that parent link events are still visible in linked logs. Added the ability to specify automatic log deletion on the basis of either the Creation Date or Air Date of the log. Fixed a bug in rdlibrary(1) that caused evergreen cart/cuts to fail to be highlighted in the correct color. Database Update: This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 275, 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 *** Further information, screenshots and download links are available at: http://www.rivendellaudio.org <http://www.rivendellaudio.org/> Cheers! |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.

linuxaudio.org is back online!

by Jeremy Jongepier

Dear all, We just enabled all mail services for linuxaudio.org again. All mailing lists are working again and mail can be sent and received for the linuxaudio.org domain. A short recap of what happened is that linuxaudio.org got compromised on January 29th, probably with a compromised private SSH key or password from an account with shell access. The attacker checked the kernel, saw that it was vulnerable to Dirty COW¹, pulled in an exploit and got root. This was quickly discovered by the IT department of Virginia Tech University that disconnected the server from the internet and started a forensic investigation procedure. As part of their IT security policy the server had to be reinstalled and everything had to be set up from scratch again. In the meanwhile I built an alternative setup and after some discussion we agreed on moving linuxaudio.org away from the Virginia Tech server. So linuxaudio.org got a new home after 15 years at Virginia Tech². We're very, very thankful that we could host linuxaudio.org on their servers and we can't stress enough how grateful we are for all the work that has been done on the side of Virginia Tech after the hack. linuxaudio.org now lives at Fuga³, a fully open source OpenStack⁴ cloud based in The Netherlands. Fuga is part of Cyso⁵, the company I work for. The linuxaudio.org ecosystem now consists of three separate servers, a web server, a mail server and a storage server. We rebuilt everything with portability and scalability in mind with a strong focus on security. You can never prevent passwords or SSH keys getting into the hands of hackers but we'll try to keep the servers as up to date as we can to narrow down the attack surface as much as possible. A big thank you to all those who helped out! It was quite a ride but it seems as if most part of the linuxaudio.org ecosystem is accessible again. If you find any web pages, downloads or other bits and parts that don't work properly then please let us know so we can take a look at it. Many thanks in advance and also many thanks for bearing with us! Best, Jeremy Jongepier root(a)linuxaudio.org ¹ https://dirtycow.ninja/ ² https://icat.vt.edu/ ³ https://fuga.cloud/ ⁴ https://www.openstack.org/ ⁴ https://cyso.com/en/

reMID.lv2 v0.1 - Nothing else to do but release

by Spencer Jackson

I don't think I ever gave a proper release and there haven't been any bug reports for a while so: https://github.com/ssj71/reMID.lv2/releases/tag/v0.1 This actually is pretty stable and I don't have a lot of time to work on it, so I figure I should at least do a first official release. For those holding out for a GUI check out https://www.tracktion.com/products/8bit-treats Those are probably more like what you expect, but don't have the scripting capabilities of reMID. enjoy! _Spencer

QmidiCtl 0.5.1 - An Early Winter'18 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi there! Happy new year to y'all! I know I'm a little bit late on that, but can you _feel_ the news? No? There's _no fake news_ whatsoever! I'd let you solve the riddle by yourself as it's way more fun that way ;) QmidiCt 0.5.1 (early winter'18) released! QmidiCt [1] is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI data over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast [6] and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI for Windows [7]. QmidiCt [1] has been primarily designed for the Maemo [8] enabled handheld devices, namely the Nokia N900 [9] and also being promoted to the Maemo Package [10] repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl [1] may still be found effective as a regular desktop application as well. See also: QmidiNet [2] - A MIDI network gateway via UDP/IP multicast.
