On behalf of the Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the immediate release of Rivendell v0.9.69. Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License. This release, featuring the debut of full voicetracking and log customization capabilities, marks a significant milestone for the project, with all modules now feature-complete. From the NEWS file: *** snip snip *** Changes: Voicetracking. A major new feature in this version, voicetracking gives operators the ability to insert dynamic, "one-off" audio content into individual logs as well as the ability to individually customize each segue transition of a log. Carts for voicetracked content are automatically created and deleted "on-the-fly" by the system, with no need for individual cart management in the Library. RDLogManager Changes. The sequence for generating logs in RDLogManager has been completely overhauled, making it now possible to generate a log and apply voice tracks even before Traffic import data are available (so-called "incremental log linking"). Several features have also been added to support operation with music-intensive formats, such as the ability to schedule embedded voicetracks and spots sets from external music scheduling systems (currently only tested with RCS Selector). RDDBCheck. A utility for checking consistency of the Rivendell database. For information, do (as root): rddbcheck --help Many, Many Bugfixes. See the ChangeLog for details. Library Versions: This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.97.1 and librhpi-0.94.6 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. *** snip snip *** Further information, including screenshots, documentation and download links can be found at: http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/ Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.
