v4.0.2

[Moonbase59]

2024-06-16 – v4.0.2

Bug fixes, enhancements

• Allow recognition of values like -8.33dB (without blank before "dB") in autocue.cue_file.liq as well (it’s already in cue_file). Note: Metadata with units should be used with a blank in between value and unit.
• Streamline "sustained endings" code.
• Add some diagnostics output to cue_file on the console to easier find and fix problems:

  Overlay: -23.50 LUFS, Longtail: -38.50 LUFS, Measured end avg: -48.40 LUFS, Drop: 29.09%
  Overlay times: 336.50/348.50/0.00 s (normal/sustained/longtail), using: 348.50 s.
  Cue out time: 353.00 s
  

  Overlay times shown as 0.00 mean a calculation has not been done or wasn’t needed, like longtail above.
  Diagnostics are output to stderr, so don’t interfere with the JSON on stdout.
• Changed default for "sustained endings" loudness drop from 60.0% to 40.0%. This was a wish from the community and makes for a little tighter/denser song overlap.
• Modify to your liking by using cue_file’s -d/--drop parameter or settings.autocue.cue_file.sustained_loudness_drop := 40.0 in Liquidsoap/AzuraCast. A value of 0.0 switches the "sustained endings" feature completely off (behaviour like in older versions).
