On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the release of Rivendell v0.9.84. 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: *** snip snip *** Changes: Podcasting Subsystem. A major new subsystem has been added that permits automated generation and posting of audio podcasts from RDCatch, as well as a new RDCastManager module for manual content posting and management of existing podcast episodes. RDCastManager is available in both Desktop and online web-based environments. Axia LiveWire Support. Full switcher support for LiveWire node devices has been added. See the relevant section in 'SWITCHERS.txt' for details. Backup Supervisor Support. It is now possible to configure the Logitek vGuest driver to automatically fail over to a backup Supervisor instance in the event of failure of the primary Supervisor. Cart Auditioning. It is now possible to audition audio in the cart picker dialog before placement of the cart into a log. Audio Editor Integration. It is now possible to configure an external audio editor to be send audio directly from the cart picker dialog. Asynchronous Library Searches. Added the ability to search the Library asynchronously to allow efficient use with very large libraries. BugFixes. A major emphasis in this version of Rivendell has been in finding and correcting known bugs. See the ChangeLog for details. Database Update: This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 155, 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.
