On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.8.2.  Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License.

Changes:
   This is a maintenance release of Rivendell.  It fixes several bugs,
   but provides no new functionality.  Some of the fixes include:

   UTF-8 Character Handling.  Improved handling of multi-byte UTF-8
   characters, especially in the RLM subsystem.

   More robust MPEG-1 import support (contributed by Chris Smowden).

   See the ChangeLog for additional details.

Database Update:
   This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 234, 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.
