cvs tag: qtssServer-362
* Same as v361 above.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 9/12/2001
Version: 3.0.1+development [v363]
cvs tag: qtssServer-363
* Better buffer management in mp3 reflector
* Fixed memory leak in mp3 reflector
* UI: changed confirmation to message on-screen instead of dialog
* Icons in playlist builder show up correctly
* MP3 Broadcast password added to general settings
* Secure Admin added to settings
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 9/17/2001
Version: 3.0.1+development [v364]
cvs tag: qtssServer-364
* Announced source relays can be set up even if the announced
SDP is read-protected ( the relay module asks the server
to automatically authenticate the request it makes since it
is in the same process)
* The admin server streamingadminserver.pl now listens on a different
port for ssl requests. The default non-ssl port is 1220 (as before)
and the default ssl port is 1240 (for now). The ssl port
can be configured by adding the line sslport=xxxx in the
streamingadminserver.conf config file
* The admin server redirects the requests dynamically based on the
value of the 'ssl' config parameter. If 'ssl=0', it will redirect
all requests coming in on the ssl port to the non-ssl port and if 'ssl=1'
it will redirect all requests coming in on the non-ssl port to the
ssl port.
For ex: if ssl is ON and the request made is
http://localhost:1220/mypage.html
the server will redirect this request to
https://localhost:1240/mypage.html
Similarly, if ssl is OFF, it will redirect the latter request to the former.
* The admin server writes its pid to a file (for MacOSX and POSIX platforms only)
pointed to by the config parameter 'pidfile'. There is no default value for
this parameter as of now, so no pid file will be written until this is set.
* The admin server has a new config parameter 'crtfile' to specify the ssl
certificate file, apart from the parameter 'keyfile' which specifies the ssl
private key file. The default values for both are the same filename, so that
the key and cert could be in the same file (just as before).
* The admin server supports password protected RSA key for ssl. A new config parameter
'keypasswordfile' can be set to the file that contains the password. If it
is blank or the parameter isn't set, it is assumed that the key is not encrypted.
The default for 'keypasswordfile' is not set so that the usual case of unencrypted
RSA key works.
* qtpasswd reports an error if the realm line is missing in the users file. The realm
line should not be hand-edited ever!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 9/18/2001
Version: 3.0.1+development [v365]
cvs tag: qtssServer-365
* Better handling of client-side flow control issues in the MP3 streaming module.
* StreamingLoadTool updated. When the destination IP address is bad or the
"streamingloadtool.mov" file can't be found, the tool will continue to work against the
URLs that are valid.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 9/20/2001
Version: 3.0.1+development [v367]
cvs tag: qtssServer-367
* Added support for Shoutcast-style broadcasters that use the "ICY" protocol.
* Playlist listings now shows all visible items in webadmin.
* Fixed access log in web admin.
* Placeholders for webadmin help added.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 9/24/2001
Version: 4.0 Preview [v369]
cvs tag: qtssServer-369
* Fixed rebuffering problem in MPStreamingModule
* Admin server changes for Win32
* Admin UI fixes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 9/26/2001
Version: 4.0 Preview [v371]
cvs tag: qtssServer-371
* The windows install script (install.bat) installs DSS as a service, stops the old DSS service
if it were running, and then starts the new DSS service. [difference from earlier version:
the install was not stopping the old service nor was it starting the new one]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 9/27/2001
Version: 4.0 Preview [v372]
cvs tag: qtssServer-372
* Help button fixed or added on all pages.
* Fixed scrolling by dragging the scroll thumb in playlist detail.
* Fixed Secure Administration setting in General Settings.
* Fixed various Windows playlist bugs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 9/28/2001
Version: 4.0 Preview [v373]
cvs tag: qtssServer-373
* Relay can be set up on DSS Win32 now.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 10/1/2001
Version: 4.0 Preview [v374]
cvs tag: qtssServer-374
* Play/stop status should now be more accurate
* Logging option added to playlists
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 10/2/2001
Version: 4.0 Preview [v375]
cvs tag: qtssServer-375
* Alignment and playlist fixes for IE6.
* Fixed starting/stopping of playlists on Windows server.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 10/3/2001
Version: 4.0 Preview [v376]
cvs tag: qtssServer-376
* Fixed movie playlist relay data
* Can now start QTSS from UI if it's not running.
* streamingadminserver.pl doesn't listen on the ssl port (default: 1240)
if the Net::SSLeay module isn't running. This is because ssl cannot
work if the module isn't present. Checking/Un-checking ssl checkbox
will not do anything in this case. This doesn't affect ssl on MacOSX because
the perl ssl module (and openssl) are already installed on X.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 10/4/2001
Version: 4.0 Preview [v378]
cvs tag: qtssServer-378
* Fixed bug where user can't restart server once it's died.
* Fixed problem with default password.
* Improved throughput on MP3 Reflector.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 10/4/2001
Version: 4.0 Preview [v379]
cvs tag: qtssServer-379
* Another fix for qtusers file.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 10/8/2001
Version: 4.0 Preview [v380]
cvs tag: qtssServer-380
* Posted form data on some screens such as General Settings will now return a redirect page.
This fixes some problems with refreshing and frames.
* Changed the format of the default relay.
* PID files are now deleted regardless of whether the PlaylistBroadcaster cleans them up.
* Fixed some confirmation message problems in Netscape.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 10/10/2001
Version: 4.0 Preview [v381]
cvs tag: qtssServer-381
* The server can bind to multiple ip addresses now. So the pref "bind_ip_addr" can be made
a list pref that has multiple values
<LIST-PREF NAMe="bind_ip_addr" >
<VALUE>10.9.8.0</VALUE>
<VALUE>10.9.8.1</VALUE>
</LIST-PREF>
This is not configurable through the Admin UI.
* RTSP access logging is now on by default in streamserver.xml
* MP3 access logging is now implemented.
* qtpasswd usage has changed. Please run it with no options to get the new usage
before using it
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 10/15/2001
Version: 4.0 Preview [v382]
cvs tag: qtssServer-382
* qtpasswd compiles on windows
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 10/18/2001
Version: 4.0 Preview [v383]
cvs tag: qtssServer-383
* When the user hovers their mouse pointer over an item in a playlist, it will show a tooltip
with the full path.
* Fixed bug where the user was logged out upon changing password.
* Added error logging message to relay module.
* Fixed problem where string overflow occured in some command line params of MP3Broadcaster.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 10/23/2001
Version: 4.0 Preview [v384]
cvs tag: qtssServer-384
* The Windows Install script adds "C:\Program Files\Darwin Streaming Server"
to the system path so that at the command prompt, one can directly start PLB as follows
C:\>PlaylistBroadcaster.exe -v
qtpasswd.exe and MP3Broadcaster.exe can also be launched this way.
Caveat: The changes don't get reflected at the command prompt immediately.
A restart of the machine fixed it but there may be a way to get the changes right away.
* Fixed problems with cookies/setup asisstant on some installations of Windows.
* Redesigned relay settings page (includes new std. listbox UI)
* Relay detail now forces user to enter a source IP address.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 10/25/2001
Version: 4.0 Preview [v385]

by the particular qtaccess file, whereas "AuthScheme digest" will set the
