On behalf of the Rivendell audio community, I’m pleased to announce the first production release of GlassCoder, a minimalist live audio encoder. In addition to streaming to IceCast and Shoutcast stream aggregators, GlassCoder is capable of generating live HLS streams and publishing them to any standard HTTP server. It is available under the GNU Public License version 2.

From the NEWS file:

Changes:

   Updated codec support. Glasscoder(1) has been updated to work properly

   with FDK-AACv2.

   UTF-8 Enhancements. Updates and bug-fixes to support multi-byte UTF-8

   characters fully in ICY and HLS metadata.

   PyPAD Plug-in Fixes. Bug-fixes for 'pypad-glasscoder' plug-in for

   Rivendell [thanks to Gabriele Fergola <workino@gmail.com>].
