On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to
announce the availability of the first production release of the next
major version of Rivendell, 3.0.1. Rivendell is a full-featured radio
automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast
environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License
version 2.
>From the 'NEWS' file:
*** snip snip ***
Changes:
Rivendell is now Unicode UTF-8 clean.
Qt4 is now used throughout Rivendell instead of Qt3.
A multicast update system has been added that allows Rivendell
modules to update views syncronously in step with changes made in
other modules.
The Rivendell Loadable Modules system for processing PAD data has
been completely replaced by PyPAD, allowing PAD processing plug-ins
to be written in the popular Python scripting langauge. Backward
compatible replacement scripts for many of the RLM plug-ins supplied
in Rivendell v2.x are included.
Added a compatibility library to facilitate the use of the Rivendell
Web API in external applications.
A system of virtual log machines has been added, allowing play-out
of up to 23 logs simultaneously.
Rivendell is now fully systemd compatibile.
The Windows ports of rdlogedit(1) and rdlogmanager(1) have been
removed.
Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 308, and will
automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current
schema version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo.
Be sure to run 'rddbmgr --modify' (as root) immediately after
upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to
be applied.
