I'm pleased to announce the release of Rivendell v0.9.67. Rivendell is a full-featured Radio Automation System that is available under the GNU General Public License. From the NEWS file: *** snip snip *** Changes: Audio Metadata Import Enhancements. Rivendell will now recognize and import a wide variety of audio metadata formats, including: AES46-2002 (aka "CartChunk") ID3v1 and ID3v2 Tags TM Century "GoldWave" Extensions TM Century "GoldDrive" Format RDImport Enhancements. RDImport has been completely rewritten from scratch, with an eye to improved stability and features (including 'SingleCart' and 'DropBox' modes). Do 'rdimport --help' at a command prompt to get a list of the possibilities. RDCatch Enhancements. It's now possible to configure AutoTrim and Normalization of Download Events, as well as Normalization of Record Events. New Report Type. An 'ASCAP/BMI Electronic Music Report' report format has been added. This uses the so-called "Paris" format to generate EDI records that can be submitted directly to ASCAP/BMI for satisfaction of a station's music reporting requirements. New data fields (including Composer, Publisher and Usage Type) have also been added to the library to accommodate this functionality. Many BugFixes. See the ChangeLog for details. *** snip snip *** Library Versions: This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.97.0 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.
