LogiKast-1.0b4.dmg (below, under Assets). Open it and drag LogiKast to Applications. It is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens without security warnings. Updating from beta 3: LogiKast offers the update itself (Server › Updates), or replace the app by hand. Either way, restart the server once from Server › Restart Server… so it runs the fixed Icecast.

Requires: macOS 13 Ventura or later, Apple silicon or Intel. Nothing else to install.

What's new since beta 3

• Fixed a crash in Icecast's web admin: opening the admin Dashboard (the "Icecast Server administration" link) stopped the server for a moment, dropping streams and listeners until it restarted itself. The Dashboard now opens normally.

Known limitations in this beta

• No HTTPS for listeners yet (plain HTTP only)
• Tested on macOS 27, 26 Tahoe and 15 Sequoia; macOS 13 and 14 are untested

Requires: macOS 13 Ventura or later, Apple silicon or Intel. Nothing else to install.

What's new since beta 2

• Software updates: LogiKast checks for updates by itself (Server › Updates), with a Check for Updates… command and a switch to include beta versions. Beta 2 can't update itself, so this one needs a manual install.
• Help › Version Notes (or Beta Version Notes) shows the release notes from the update feed
• Fixed Icecast using 100% CPU while an app or browser kept an idle connection open
• Server start-up fixes: a leftover Icecast from an older copy is stopped before the server starts, a port already in use is named instead of a vague error, and the listener limit can no longer produce a configuration Icecast complains about
• The About window credits Icecast and the bundled libraries, with their licenses
• Fixed menus (such as Window) changing while they were open

Known limitations in this beta

• No HTTPS for listeners yet (plain HTTP only)
• Tested on macOS 27, 26 Tahoe and 15 Sequoia; macOS 13 and 14 are untested
