On behalf of the Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the
immediate release of Rivendell v0.9.74. 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:

This is a bugfix version of Rivendell. Issues addressed include the
following:
Security Vulnerability -- Allowed users to execute commands with
the Run Shell Command macro with permissions of the user running
the ripcd(8) daemon (normally 'root').
Timescaling Playouts -- Fixed a bug that was causing timescaled
events to terminate prematurely under certain circumstances.
Log Error Checking -- Fixed issues that were preventing changes in
a cart's status in RDLibrary from being properly reflected in an
already-loaded RDAirPlay log.
JACK/ALSA Playout Optimization -- Increased the size of the audio
ringbuffer for JACK and ALSA drivers.
See the ChangeLog for further details.
Library Versions:
This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.97.2 and
librhpi-0.94.7 be installed. If installing from RPM, the version of
the currently installed libraries can be determined by doing:
rpm -q libradio
rpm -q librhpi
Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 120, 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.
