I'm pleased to announce the release of Rivendell-0.9.53. Rivendell is a fully
copy-lefted audio automation system targeted for use in professional
broadcast environments. Further information, including screenshots, source
code and RPMs for select Linux distributions can be found at:

v0.9.53 -- 09/28/2005
Changes:
RDCatch Enhancements. It is now possible to configure a single
record 'window' in RDCatch and configure multiple shorter
recordings within that window to be started by means of GPI
closures.
Asynchronous Macro Carts. It's now possible to designate a macro
cart as to be executed 'Asynchronously', meaning that, when
executed within a log in RDAirPlay, any Sleep ['SP'] RMLs contained
within the cart will not delay subsequent log events, but *will*
delay subsequent RML statements within the cart itself. This can
be useful for achieving various special effects, such as starting a
music bed and then playing a seperately carted dry voiceover on top
of it.
RDLibrary Enhancements. RDLibrary will now give explicit warning
about various out-of-parameter conditions (like audio carts that
contain no audio). It's now also possible to specify the 'Forced
Length' of a cart (for timescaling purposes) without obscuring the
actual average length of the cart.
Many Bugfixes. Especially with regard to RDCatch, MPEG encoding
and electronic log reconciliation (ELR) functionality. See the
ChangeLog for details.
Library Versions:
This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.94.0 and
librhpi-0.94.4 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:
As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after
upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to
be applied.
