This is the fourth follow-up release for the liquidsoap 2.1.x release cycle!

giphy

This release brings more bugfix and stability to liquidsoap 2.1.x users with a couple of new features as well.

New features are:

  • More logging around streaming exceptions to help diagnostics of hard failures while streaming
  • Support for umask to bring the full unix/posix file/directory permissions control the way everyone's used to
  • Added buffer_length method to buffers to help report and monitor buffer user (overrun/underrun, slow drain etc.)

The bugfixes include patch to prevent several situations that made the application crash under certain specific circumstances. Overall, we believe that this release should be a pretty stable iteration and highly recommend migrating to it. Make sure to always use a staging environment before updating your production systems!

We expect this release to be the last of the 2.1.x release cycle. The current development branch is about to be forked as rolling-release-v2.2.x and we should begin the stabilization process to bring that branch to a releasable state. There might still be bugfix releases on the 2.1.x branch but only for critical issues.

Thanks for all y'all continuing use of liquidsoap!
