Feature differences from SVN trunk

. FLV wrapping for mp3/aac listeners requesting it with ?type=.flv
. define a fixed number of worker threads (default 1) for processing clients
. allow for wildcards (*[] expansion) in mount-name and ban/allow files
. can limit mountpoint by outgoing bandwidth as well as a max listeners count
. can drop new listeners if server-wide bitrate is above a limit
. server xml reload, and reopen logging available via admin url
. When max-listeners reached, a HTTP 302 code can be sent to redirect
  clients to alternative slave hosts. 
. authenticated relays, those that match the relay user/pass, bypass the 
  max-listener/bandwidth check. slaves can use a different auth to listeners
. mount can filter out theora content, useful for defining a local relay
  of a theora+vorbis stream to have a vorbis only stream from the same source.
. handlers setting for URL authenticator, for N requests at a time.

any extra tags are show in the conf/icecast.xml.dist file

2.3.2-kh31
. Add generic scattered IO routines, listeners wanting FLV wrapping now use this which
  saves a lot of memory copying and therefore load.
. build setup for mingw32. This should help with library updates for us, drop GUI build
. relay restarting fixes included for certain error cases. relays are treaated as
  failed if they stop within 60 seconds and skip on to next server if specified.
. a better trigger for on-demand relay if fallback has listeners.
. on reload when changeowner used, allow for listening sockets to be reopend but
  prevent closing priviledged ports unless missing from xml
. prevent unescape routine from creating non-printable chars
. ignore per-mount username when source is using shoutcast protocol.
. URL auth can now accept a "ice-username: ..." in the response headers for setting the
  username. For setups that use query args for auth
. expand args applied to xsl requests, url encoded now.
. modify k and m in bitrates to be on 1000 not 1024
. accesslog modification to parsing, optionally set <type> in <accesslog> to CLF-ESC
  to escape-encode strings instead of using "".
. if falling back to file, the bitrate used takes, in order of priority, incoming
  bitrate, limit-rate and then [value] in filename eg /fallback-[128]
. fix a large ogg page bug, flac is probably the only one showing this up currently
. fix a couple of rare crash cases with file serving clients.
. prevent intro file sending when override triggered.
. make access log report query args on the request, but truncate the strings if too long.
. minor change to send limiter
. move incoming rate limiter to source client specific code.
. Add server-wide redirect tags.
. use per-source stats handles for updates, reduces lookups and avoids taking a
  shared lock.
. minor log message changes.
. fix fallback trigger if source timeout occurs
. fix possible sources count inconsistency with failed relays
. entity expansion in stats conversion routines added
. fixup debug allocation code. not normally used.

2.3.2-kh30
. stats updates.
   Split stats lock into global and source stats locks, reduces contention.
   Updated internal API for using a stats handle for quick lookup when updating
   several stats at once.
   Make metadata_updated stat to be sent last in the initial listing, we would want
   that to appear after title, useful as a trigger for updates.
   make NEW also report the content type after the mountpoint
. re-work metadata insert merge with shoutcast inserts for mp3/aac, do metadata
  followed by stream data instead of the other way around, reduces code.
. fix url decode crash bug with %invalid code.
. prevent yp add if required data is missing.
. allow for all args to be supplied to xsl transforms from request not just mount
. xsl transforms are written direct to refbufs, so should avoid a memory copy on
  each transform, should help in cases of large data sets. 
. Add redirect tag on <mount>
. change default to allow ogg matadata via url (for consistency with trunk).
. have master relays supply auth by default.
. allow for quick responses to be tried and possible close the connection, saves
  rescheduling the worker for just closing the socket.
. streamlist.txt was not getting tried if /admin/streams failed. IE kh slave to a
  2.3.2 master.
. reduce duration of when the config write lock is held when doing reload. 
. a number of tunings for rescheduling clients (source and stats mainly).
. small reworking of client_t creation and accounting.
. missing redirect new listener case not handled.
. source count could get out of sync in certainly failing relay cases.
. a few cases of memory leaks fixed, not commonly used but can accumulate in
  certain setups, eg intros via auth or reloading frequently.
. fix win32 snprintf missing nul char bug
. automatically set nofile and corefile size limits to max allowed, for debug

2.3.2-kh29
. prevent crash with very small burst size (eg 0). 
. fix possible race with relay restart and headers used in stats update
. fix possible mpeg issues causing a crash or getting stuck in an allocation loop on bad input.
. An FLV listener could trigger a corruption in the metadata for non-FLV listeners. More likely
  to occur when starting on-demand relays.
. relays that have only been connected for a few seconds will be treated as if it had failed to
  restart and listeners will be droped or moved.
. fix possible server stall if reload requested and auth listeners were pending on auth queue
. Fix a number of cases where listeners kept a relay from restarting because of an incorrect
  internal state, a stuck relay.
. revert to reserving a new relay source later in client processing. The relay is still installed
  immediately (with client) but the source could clash with another already reserved.
. listener triggers wakeup of inactive on-demand relay, which allows us to reduce the scheduling
  of inactive relay clients.
. when relays are updated, only wakeup workers once, not for each relay.
. stats cleanup on disabled or failed relay start
. on-demand relays minimum transfer set to 2Meg
. make rejected_mount and stream_auth work properly again for URL auth
. possible listener cleanup race if auth used at exit.  We now keep listener on the worker even
  if inactive until complete.
. expanded FLV metadata, double and bool settings, adds audiocodecid, audiosamplerate, stereo and
  various entries from stats.
. slave relay could of been redirected, now it is marked as a slave by the master so bypassess
  various limit checks.
. If auth server does not respond then disable URL requests for listeners for 60 seconds. Keeps
  icecast from clogging up if link to auth server breaks. Some people use auth for non-auth
  accounting or listener intro, so extra option added to allow those by default (option
  presume_innocent set to yes to allow listener even if auth not active).
. Make auth refcount change based on threads holding it not clients, simplifies the shutdown or
  busy startup case.
. move non-ogg metadata update code into one place, and fix-up use of inline URL parsing and
  possible short write in rare cases.
. slow down listener thread (therefore reduce new incoming listeners) if relay starts up, more
  so if many relays start or auth queues are full.
. increase internal settings, max auth handlers to 100, auth queue to 300 and listen queue to 64
. fix ogg stream dump-file.
. reduce frequency of rebalancing across workers with many streams, reduces lock contention
. use alloca instead of malloc for non-ogg metadata/stream merge, minor speedup
. new listeners (with queryargs or user:pass) redirected because of icecast will
  have their supplied auth details added to new location.
. recreate worker pipe if it fails or else we could busy loop.
. add error code to recoverable list for accept, and prevent listener thread slow down in those
  cases, seems to affect FreeBSD more than others although it could affect others.
. revert listener stat names for listclients to 2.3.2 case for now
. minor log message cleanups.

2.3.2-kh28
. fix possible short send shoutcast metadata inserts getting corrupted
. fix a few possible flv issues when metadata is missing.
. add filter routine for mpeg parsing, used for file inputs like intro or fallback
. add mpeg ts frame marker to frame alignment code.
. add min-queue-size mount setting, defaults to burst size so backward compatible.
  players can request anything up to min-queue-setting with the initial-burst
  header or burst= arg
. worker shutdown forces clients to process, should allow for quicker termination
  or moving to another worker.
. stats client tidy up, prevent a few more stats going through to slave, report
  slave auth failure properly, and initialize settings for inc/dec updates
. introduce SYNC flag to source to keep internal counts consistent when moving or
  terminating listeners
. add proxy/cache avoidance headers
. drop start timer from relay as we use the more general client schedule timer
. removed the relay recheck each second as the relays are now installed and started
  via the clients on the workers. saves work with many relays.
. possible crash point on relay details change, or xml reload
. offset in file serving was always 0 even if range was requested.
. add in the 7.xsl hack for compatability
. A few internal code and log message cleanups.

2.3.2-kh27
. use the tree locks instead of stats lock, this should lessen contention with many
  stats updates, typicaly of setups with many streams.
. rework previous non-ogg metadata short-write fix, was not complete.
. previous non-ogg metadata fix exposed problem if file fallback used.
. remove possible race waking up a worker, could result in crash.
. add <max-stream-duration> to <mount> (in seconds), could even be used to cycle
  dump files on a relay.
. leave public setting as-is when on-demand relay stops.
. minor legacy code cleanup

2.3.2-kh26
. fix possible content corruption on shoutcast metadata inserted streams if a short
  send occurs during metadata sending.
. do not list non-hidden streams in /admin/stream[list|streams] and make sure auth
  applies to /admin/streams.
. allow for the so-sndbuf option per-mount as well as on all connections.
. old style bind-address setting (not listen-socket) was not working
. allow a negative ban-client value to use the internal deny block of IPs to prevent
  more than 1 IP connecting at the same time.
. small code changes for main worker thread

2.3.2-kh25
. FLV clients could skip frames on a truncated write, leading to playback problems.
. various client scheduling tunings, allows quicker reschedule when only some data
  was written. This seems to affect win32 more than others, especially with burst
. fix shoutcast-inline metadata bug involving a URL
. per listener mpeg checking only verifies 1 frame as queue is already checked
. set non-ogg intial blocksize to 1400 again, now that blocks can be more flexible
  in size
. filter out multiple / in requests
. the 2.3 log archive setting wasn't handled correctly.
. certain relay configuration (multiple addresses) could leak a file descriptor
  on failure.
. possible NULL pointer crash in metadata update.
. possible sources count not decreased if relay fails.
. fix for possible relay change restart
. worker lock changes, now we only take the lock when adding clients. This reduces
  some lock order complexity when moving clients around and means that no locking
  is done for most of the time.
. relay changes are tagged and changed by the client functions.
. compile cleanups

2.3.2-kh24
. Allow for per-listener wrapping of existing mp3/aac streams when requested with
  a type=.flv as a query arg. The actual trigger could be anything we want but this
  allows for using the existing mountpoint, with easy mapping for URL auth and for
  matching an extension in the player. Works with intro and fallback handling.
. mpeg parser is more complete, handles more cases, avoiding bad input cases
. fix possible bad pointer in ogg headers case.
. fix for shoutcast-style metadata writes being truncated.
. fixes for non-ogg buffer alignment causing resync or stalled streams.
. prevent a failed stream list request from dropping current relays
. handle relay startup shutdown better for memory usage and listeners 
. use Host header if available for buildm3u

2.3.2-kh23
. if an inactive on-demand relay detects listeners on fallback then start relay
  but do not move listeners until the connection is complete.
. fix race condition with restarting non-ogg relays and stats being generated
. make auth queue limit 150 before rejection.
. A number of relay related fixes. these typically occur when a relay is either
  restarted or was removed (eg disappeared from a master).  There is also a
  possible case of long held locking that is now gone.
. add <ban-client>N</ban-client> mount option to add client IP to the internal
  banned list for N seconds. subsequent attempts that have not timed out extend
  the ban period. A stat count of banned entries is produced each second
. reload from admin page was not restarting listen thread if signalfd used.
. increase default queue block size on non-ogg streams to 2900
. mpeg parsing fix for odd cases. This could appear as corrupt or stalled streams
. fix listing of stats and listener details on fallback files
. fix Location header reference from auth url

2.3.2-kh22
. Add mp3/aac sync marker alignment code. This makes the internal buffers contain
  whole frames. allows for better transistion when moving listeners.
. The number of logs is not limited to 25 now
. small changes to client scheduling
. removed format url lock, source lock is always taken, so this is not needed
. Add <skip-accesslog> boolean to per-mount settings. Prevents logging listener
  client details to access log
. evaluate bandwidth usage when adding to the global bitrate, and change throttle
  indicator if max bandwidth specified. listeners have varying degrees of
  scheduling limits applied. lagging listeners get delayed first, then all do.
. fix long standing bug which could cause a crash on a bad xsl.
. report line numbers on xml errors.
. small work-around to handle odd handling of ICY response for mpc and expected
  the content-type header for shoutcast relay and streamtranscoder.
. kh21a. kh20 introduced a bug which could occur with listeners being moved between
  workers.

2.3.2-kh21
. Fix possible stall bug when a source exits and when adding a listener, only
  keep the source_tree lock held until a source lock can be acquired. 
. tighten up where the certain locks are held/released. 
. win32 stat return code fix
. added a few internal checks and some log messages.
. fixes from moo, #1646, status response header first always, #1648, return ICY
  response for mpc
. make fh_node use tree for quick lookup
. zero out format structure, remove previous stats for restarting relays
. NULL pointer fix in cases where a relay was being cleared of listeners without
  a fallback mount, eg being disabled or removed from slave list or reread XML

2.3.2-kh20
. fix possible lock imbalance bug if mutliple workers set
. make sure listeners are not paused if relay is not running
. fix memory leak on each source disconnection.
. fix double free corruption bug if listener_remove used.
. on server shutdown, prevent auth of new listeners only. other auth requests
  can continue which allows client details to clean up properly
. relocate where the source count is increased. For source clients it is just
  before where it used to be but for relays it is increased before a relay
  connection is attempted. Bug in kh19 meant sources kept increasing on relay
  restart
. fix possible stalling bug in auth command method.
. listener_connections stat could have a random data bug
. Do not force a master relay recheck on stream start/stop
. build fix on certain platforms.
. small internal code cleanups.

2.3.2-kh19
. add 7.xsl processing to present stats for a shoutcast /7.html request, requires
  alias of /7.html to /7.xsl
. avl tree of listeners is back in, workers process lists of clients but the tree
  enables a quick listener lookup from a source.
. the admin arg require handler left a lock held if not specified.
. make sure the allow/deny/useragent files reload properly
. initialisation bug for auth, more likely to affect win32 gui.
. content-type has to be lower case for shoutcast to recognise the mime type.
. per-mount access log. <accesslog> <name>/file.log</name> ....
. update to the source shutdown process. reduces code in relay shutdown, no point
  in duplication. allow listeners to be placed in a waiting state if source is
  waiting to start up.
. do not dump stream stats on on-demand relay failure.
. allow for reporting xml parser warnings to stderr at startup
. fix possible auth related corruption with disconnected clients on slow auth
. type fixup on lag calculation on 32bit systems.
. if streamlist fails then drop all slave relays.

2.3.2-kh18
. for people who use ICE_MUTEX_ABORT (environment var) to trap for long held
  locks, change the name to ICE_LOCK_ABORT
. fix possible memory corruption case in stats and threading
. fix vorbis stream bandwidth increase when certain source clients connect
. avoid any ::ffff: in IPs
. YP thread now started from worker as required instead of once per second
. shutdown order and other internal code cleanups
. use signalfd if available for processing signals in connection thread, saves
  waking up the thread.
. make sure the auth mountpoint returned is used instead of the listener
  supplied one. Allows for redirecting listeners to alternative mounts
. update command auth, works in a similar way to url auth now.
. stats clients work better under much heavier load. stats notifications
  are grouped together if possible before sending, this reduces writes in the
  many streams case

2.3.2-kh17
. fix possible memory corruption when using multiple workers
. a few minor timing changes, nothing major.
. fix possible race case in multiple file handle close
. kh16b. fix possible crash case with relay failing
. kh16a. some fserve changes exposed a crash bug with flash clients.

2.3.2-kh16
. you can now fallback to file if the initial mountpont is not available as long
  as there is a limit-rate set at some point within the fallback chain.
. A header from url listener add "icecast-auth-user: withintro" indicates that
  the response contains intro data to be sent to the this listener. Anything
  else indicates the previous behaviour.
. allow source clients to be limited by duration, set by time limit header in
  url stream auth
. internal changes to average bitrate calculations. blocks are now removed based
  on the timestamp not the block count.
. fix possible race with url auth'd listener getting a 404 response
. try throttle file sending based on duration/bytes sent on file handle and split the
  file sending function into two (throttled/unthrottled). reduces memory.
. merge in compile-time allocation counters
. Added some stats for fallback files, and metadata_updated for sources
. minor cleanups for internal API. log message cleanups.
. kh15b. fix possible crash on url listener failing.
. kh15a
  - fix memory corruption when clients are referring to the same file.
  - log buffering on win32 enabled

2.3.2-kh15
. lock mismatch identified, could cause a stall in the worker.
. relay connection timeout was not being set in all cases
. Don't fallback listeners on relay fail if server shutting down
. minor code cleanups.

2.3.2-kh14
. Allow stats/listclients/killclient work with file references
. Add timeout parameter to relay. number of seconds for connect to complete.
. fixes for restarting of relays, especially where changes are detected and
  where fallback to files were set.
. repeat fallback file
. tuneup client scheduling for file sending
. added a few validation checks, useragent chars, xml config port ranges
. log message cleanups.

2.3.2-kh13
. on source exit, listeners do not need to be moved to the file serving engine,
  just release any shared data and delete client if not on worker. saves process
  work at source exit
. fix possible crash bug with long lock held detection.
. allow listener_add response to include intro content
. merge connection_t into client_t, and shrunk connection_t, reduces memory used
. improve some of the internal client scheduling.
. the reading of the mime types file was done too early
. admin/fallback now updates the mount details if available.
. more source lock cleanups. nothing major
. change the order of the header routines, the format specific routine now calls
  the general routine.

2.3.2-kh12
. xml based relays could cause a crash on server exit or xml reload
. avoid memory/fd leak on active relay restart.
. cleaner worker thread shutdown.
. win32 update. Prevent Esc closing the GUI. Make the service work better and
  is now able to take an alternative xml as parameter. Update libogg in the
  build to 1.1.4 and refer to the current directory for dependent DLLs.

2.3.2-kh11
. busy looping caused by truncation on 32bit setups
. avoid possible deadlock between file release and open
. relay client handles were not being cleaned up fully.
. send Host: header on relay connects.

2.3.2-kh10
. big internal thread change. instead of one thread per stream, we now have a fixed number
  of worker threads, each processing a set of clients (sources/relays/listeners etc).
  - no source or fserve threads now. auth still has thread(s) as the API for libcurl
    is blocking
  - worker threads with no clients sleep for long durations.
  - defaults to 1 worker thread, overridden by <workers> in <limits>
  - listeners get moved to the worker thread running the source, helps caching
  - sources get moved to a less busy thread if it would help
  - each client has a timestamp to indicate when it wants service. The sleep duration
    for the worker is based on the next client to be serviced.
. if fallback to file is specified and the requested mount is not active then a 404
  response is returned instead of the file contents.
. fserve engine can handle bandwidth limiting per client. Fallback to file uses this
  by using the average incoming bitrate of the source stream as the target limit.
. file serving uses an internal cache of open files, so that 1000 listerners do not
  suddenly open 1000 files if a fallback to file occurs.
. move listeners admin request can specify another source or file.
. relay changes
  - the client structure is always allocated now, instead of when the relay is started.
  - listeners stay on relay if switching to another relay master. Only when they all
    have failed does the fallback apply.
. post-kh9 fixes
  - fix for possible race with rejected new listeners going through auth
  - make mp3-metadata-interval 0 work again
  - auth htpasswd checks for details provided like user:pass@host:port/mount and if not
    then checks as host:port/mount?user=a&pass=b

2.3.2-kh9
. allow shoutcast source client auth work via stream_auth url
. allow for a flash policy file.
. internal cleanup to help merging into trunk
. fix vorbis metadata update via url, broken in recent releases. cleanup some metadata
  updating/logging
. drop vorbis stream rebuilding back to flush evert half second, in sync with trunk
. stop false reports of 'not null' in debug logging. no other effect on server
. limit how often the relay mountpoint "already exists" logs.
. minor tweaking to the average bitrate calculation
. remove the internal global time caching, although prevent several time calls if in
  succession.

2.3.2-kh8
. fix memory corruption which affected ogg streams.
. fix for unsupported FBSD/win32 spin locking options. abort on initialisation failure.
. win32 fix from kh7 causing stalling source threads. fallout from kh7 build failure

2.3.2-kh7
. merge fix for bug report on trunk for skeleton
. fix for build failure with recent glibc
. fix for admin.cgi metdata updates not applying (kh5 bug).
. minor locking cleanup
. win32 fixes. server restart could cause relay details to become corrupted
. win32 update. updated libxml2/libxslt

2.3.2-kh6
. some source stats were not being reported on the xsl pages.
. win32 access log timestamps should now to correct.

2.3.2-kh5
. stats fixes, crash case in stats handling, and hidden attribute was not honoured
  on xsl pages with recent stats changes.
. if requesting /admin/streams via stats method then allow auth via relay user/pass
  or mountpoint auth. receives only stats for slaves
. allow url= tag on metadata update for non-ogg streams, adds StreamUrl.
. fixed possible crash with skeleton stream handling
. actually prevent metadata updates if there is a stream already running from a
  different IP.
. fix build bug on FBSD7
. allow optional queue-len tag in listen-socket, default is 10

2.3.2-kh4
. Where's the brown paper bag. boolean settings in the xml were being ignored due
  to an incorrect test. 

2.3.2-kh3
. fixed master not informing slaves of streams bug. caused by missed setting in
  the kh2 stats update
. more xml checks for badly formed xml files.
. log files can now be sections not just a single filename ie <errorlog> can
  contain <name> <archive> <display> and <level>, accesslog can contain <name>
  <ip> and <archive>, playlistlog can contain <name> <archive> <display>. In each
  case, name is a filename, archive is a true/false setting for using timestamps
  on a reopened file, display is the number of lines to show in the admin page.

2.3.2-kh2
. more stats work. Clients are now processed as needed instead of a dedicated
  thread per stats client. 
. don't allow raw metadata updates if not from the same IP address as the source
  client unless it is from the admin user. For some reason some source client
  issue updates even though they are rejected.
. missing lock on streamlist master/slave update, could cause memory corruption.
. update to average bitrate handling.
. allow strftime expansion on dump filename, applies at the time the stream has
  started
. removed debian directory, it's not maintained really so leave it to the debian
  people to deal with it themselves.
. experimental theora keyframe as png patch added. not built by default
. minor memory leak plugged in fserve

2.3.2-kh1
. remove stats thread. Stats clients still have their own thread and queue.
. fix low bandwidth theora stream problem.
. failing on-demand relays were not being recovered as they should of.
. encode xml entity data for clients useragent/username
. reduce memory usage in avl nodes, seems to benefit win32 more because of the
  unused lock handling
. minor patch for kate detection applied. ogg.k.ogg.k
. minor type cleanup for off_t in fserve

2.3-kh34
. Added Kate/Skeleton codec handling within Ogg streams. patch by ogg.k.ogg.k
. small changes for stream directory handling, mostly for error cases. 
. added /admin/reset?mount=/mountpoint&setting=x to reset stats for that mountpoint.
  without setting= all resetable stats are reset. x can specify peak,read or send
  or a combination of them (comma deliminated)
. /admin/streamlist.txt uses the same routine as /admin/streams so does not have 
  a limit on how much is sent back.
. updated win32 code, windows service should be ok again. service name now
  includes version to help multiple installs but windows may require a reboot
  between removing a service and installing that same service again.
. fix possible crash on reload of xml with bad tags
. small update of web pages
. added per-mount stat for total mbytes sent

2.3-kh33
. master/slave update.
  slave mode only issues a streamlist.txt request if the /admin/streams request
  fails.  /admin/streams also acts as an mountpoint for the slave relays by
  passing a mount= arg and auth.
  You can now define a <mount> for /admin/streams to define how slave
  authentication is done eg url (listener_add) or htpasswd.
  Once authenticated, the slave can bypass any limits like max listeners etc.
  The slave also allows for defining a <master> tag block instead of <master-*>
  tags allowed are <username> <password> <server> <port> <redirect> <bind>
  auth url can take an "icecast-slave: 1" header, which makes client act as a
  slave and bypass mount limits.
. build fixups for OpenBSD and cases where IPV6_V6ONLY is missing
. move 'clients' limit check to after admin request check, means admin commands
  can work even if the limit is reached. removes a lock taken as well.
. drop connections to known slave relays if we find that the destination source
  is a fallback to file, as this would cause high bandwidth usage.
. stats fix for inactive on-demand relay stats without a mount definition.
. added some minor consistency checks.

2.3-kh32
. crash fix for a failing on-demand relay.
. incorrect logfile settings for timestamp setting, for playlist and access.log
. update for win32 build and initialization.

2.3-kh31
. hard to trigger but possible race condition on source startup.
. long standing bug identified with many descriptors (eg > 1024 listeners)
. allow YP thread to skip a non-responsive server.

2.3-kh30
. crash fix if no user/pass supplied when stream_auth in use.
. the admin=1 was not passed in POST for stream_auth on metadata updates

2.3-kh29
. some small code re-organisation in kh28 caused auth htpasswd to fail new
listeners
. work around FBSD issue with listening on IPv4/IPv6 sockets

2.3-kh28
. race fix in yp thread startup.
. manageauth userlist page was blank due to a NULL check, fixed.
. add rejected_mount auth option to redirect unathenticated listeners to an
  alternative mountpoint. eg subscription stream redirected to low bitrate
. Allow for url auth to handle 'Mountpoint: ' header for redirecting listeners
  if they are to be rejected to an alternative mountpoint on the same server.
  This is as opposed to the Location: header which gets a player to redirect,
  maybe to an alternative server.

2.3-kh27
. fix potential fserve thread race
. merge listener inline shoutcast metadata into previous block write. It is
  very common and saves writing a very short packet per listener at metadata.
. reduce log memory usage when caching lines for web display
. reduce memory usage slightly on 64bit systems, in refbuf/avl storage
. be more 32/64bit clean
. fix possible corruption if reducing qblock size over reload
. get stats thread to update global outgoing_kbitrate stat, no point flooding
  the stats queue.

2.3-kh26
. internal code cleanups
. fixed accidental bug which caused problems for non-ogg streams without a
  mount defined
. if listener_remove used then remove queue reference before auth performed as
  queue will expand. race case between auth and source thread on refcounting.
. Add error reporting with above case, makes identification easier.

2.3-kh25
. kh24 had a lockup bug on reload if auth url used.
. Don't pass listeners to the authentication queue if no auth handler defined
. auth listener_remove was not triggering if listener_add was not specified.
. make sure avl tree for mime types is cleared.
. remove pthread_exit in fserve, older glibc had a memory leak
. fix memory leak/corruption in YP handler, also make YP thread startup instead
  of polling frequently.
. redo server connection lookup. Now we refcount the server connection details
  from the xml, make the client refer to it. reduces locking as well 
. always call the xml reload from the slave thread.
. fix memory leak over reload, when using multiple master within relay
. incorrect output appended to streamlist output for relays.
. race between stream shutdown and listener_remove could cause memory corruption
  with queue buffers. Make source clear less strict.
. cleanup any fserve clients after other threads are down, removes lock race
. reduce burst limiter for listeners on sources.
. if available, log file descriptor limit allowed by kernel.

2.3-kh24
. make auth threads start/stop dynamically. reduces latency for auth'd listeners.
  The handlers setting is still the maximum number of threads for that auth
. ip allow/deny list wasn't working right due to fnmatch return value.
. fix memory leak which occured on reload events.
. fix possible corruption when connection thread restarts from reload
. add <deny-agents> tag in <paths>. Drops listeners with useragents matching the
  pattern in the specified file.
. internal code cleanups

2.3-kh23
. file serve thread is dynamically started/stopped, latency seems much better when
  compared to a sleep/polling loop
. sometimes the empty virtual mountpoint stats were being provided instead of the
  real source stats. This should finish off some of the work done earlier on stats
. Don't be case sensitive on range header in fserve parsing.
. a typo in the POST for listener_remove got by, ip and duration were not correct.
. small code cleanups from merges with trunk
. minor fix for global listeners count
. listener remove wasn't being triggered for listeners on sources.

2.3-kh22
. Implement a global outgoing_kbitrate stat, sum of all listeners on all sources.
. Small updates on the average bitrate handling
. implement a server-wide bandwidth limiter check for new listeners. If <max-bandwidth>
  in <limits> is defined then new listeners can be rejected/redirected.
. drop non-gcc compiler flags from configure.in, drop _XOPEN_SOURCE as well
. send Cache control header, just in case proxies are involved
. another flash (on IE as well) hack posted on forum.

2.3-kh21
. IP ban/allow files can now use wildcard expansion to matching addresses
. allow mount= param on webroot xsl pages
. check for missing type in mount authentcation
. fix corruption if listen socket failed.
. if using a change owner setup, do the listener socket setup early (for root privs)
  and prevent reload from altering the sockets.
. lag calculation incorrect on shoutcast style metadata inserts, fixed
. fix potential lock held in admin for certain error cases

2.3-kh20
. send http 302 response if auth url returns a location: header 
. allow for any number of listen-sockets
. combine listener/connection thread into one thread
. use short timeout period in connection thread if requests are pending
. make primary thread be the slave thread which starts the connection thread, this
  allows for the connection thread to be restarted with changes to listening sockets
. cleanup work from merging to trunk

2.3-kh19
. fix segv possibility in mp3 metadata
. in xml stats, make listeners id to be an attribute of <listener>
. cleanups from merge to trunk work.
. added per listener lag count, which shows in stats.
. added ip= in POST for listener_remove
. Use spin locks (if available) for a few short held locks, falls back to mutexes.
. missed some socket setup with the ipv4/ipv6 code. You don't have to wait when
  restarting servers

2.3-kh18
. fix a segv case that occurs in a certain fallback mount case, this was introduced
  recently when max listeners/bandwidth was worked on.
. fix possible crash case for a missing mime types file
. fix segv case added in kh16, on demand relays without a mount.
. win32 build should now handle wildcard mountpoints.

2.3-kh17
. fix segv issue in auth, has been triggered with htpasswd
. if inactive mounts with active fallbacks are removed from the xml, they will
  now be removed from stats.
. small build fix for ipv6 update in kh16.
. memory leak fix in relay handling and mime types, 2 other minor ones elsewhere
. do http auth extraction for incoming clients earlier, username wasn't logging in
  certain cases.
. mangeauth was not hooked into correctly from the last admin update.
. change streamlist trigger to be based on time instead of a counter. With the
  shorter delay in slave, this was causing the streamlist to occur too often.
. http 302 wasn't sent 100% of the time. The redirection list is now only dropped
  over XML reload.

2.3-kh16
. Implement max-bandwidth mount setting, this can be used to limit listener numbers
  instead of/as well as the max-listeners option.
. Add patch from Gilou for source address bind for relays. Adds <bind> option to
  <relay> and <master-bind> option for slave setups.
. Update to IPv6 handling in net/ code, no need to seperately specify an IPv6
  socket for listening.
. Actually make the listener details appear on the stats pages if the mount is
  specified (does not apply to listclients). Most won't notice this unless they
  parse those xml stats for listener information.
. Handle xspf generation like m3u but uses an xsl page for layout
. Small changes in a few places, avg bitrate calculations, lower triggers for
  listener send with fallback files.
. Internal duplication removed, source structures contained limits which were also
  held within mount structures.

2.3-kh15
. fix for possible race (from kh14) leading to lockup when many streams are
  starting up at the same time.
. don't provided listener details to all streams via admin access, only when
  a mountpoint is provided. Should help in cases where there's large number
  of listeners on several streams

2.3-kh14
. add <file-seekable> boolean to <mount>, default is true
. return 403 (not 401) response if the server in auth url is not contactable
  for new listeners
. increase scope for source locks, certain initialisations can have race
  conditions which leads to unpredictable results.
. minor fix for listclient.xsl, the case of listener stat names were changed.
. minor cleanup of stats updating

2.3-kh13
. Allow for wildcard matching (eg /*.mp3) in mount definitions on systems that
  support it.
. for streamlist (slave requests), get the list of non-hidden streams from the
  stats instead of the source or mount lists. This allows for streams without
  a <mount> to be exported and also lists inactive mountpoints with active
  fallbacks.
. Allow for specifying an id= parameter with listclients so that specific
  listener details can be queried.
. ship a config.h used for a VC6 build in win32

2.3-kh12
. relays handle 302 redirection from master server.
. fix for possible crash with incoming shoutcast style source clients.

  to /index.html for web and /admin.html for admin.
. Filled in a few more global static stats, updated on reload xml

2.3-kh11
. added extra header for shoutcast source clients. some may need it.

. changes to admin interface, aliases now work, reduce code size.
. relay page shows all relay masters, not just the first one.

2.3-kh10
. race fix for relays, hard to trigger but can cause a crash
. add <mimetypes> xml tag for locating file with mime types defined
. added warning messages for xml tags with no content, but don't prevent
  icecast from starting.

2.3-kh9
. try a lower content length value for flash clients, some combinations of
  browsers still have issues.
. add <admin_metadata_only> (boolean) to <mount> for ignoring incoming vorbis
  comments. Only takes the artist= and title= settings from /admin eg
  /admin/metadata?artist=abc&title=xyz&mount=%2Flive.ogg
. allow multiple <master> tags in <relay>, allows for switching between multiple
  masters. Requires a fallback to keep listeners connected over switch though.
. add <retry-delay> setting for <relay>, default is <master-update-interval>
. Add <allow-ip> setting. similar to banfile but only allow connections from
  certain IPs
. fix on win32 previous build, truncation bug reappeared on large web requests.
. minor build update for acx_pthread
. assume default pass-through (mp3/aac etc) stream charset ISO8859-1 not utf8
. added macro which enables the writing of large files (log/dump).

2.3-kh8a
. build had access log logging without IPs

2.3-kh8
. add "handlers" option for url auth, defines multiple auth threads for
  processing incoming clients. Default is 1 per <authenication type="url">.
  Internally the client data doesn't hold onto the auth_t now.
. banfile option, drops connections whose IP is listed in the banfile
. Added check for a still connected listener before auth attempted, no point
  in doing slow url auth if listener has already disconnected.
. fix buildm3u for auth without a source stream.
. change content-length for flash to 319324133 to see if that works better
  for IE7
. Added <accesslog_ip> boolean for runtime config of logging IPs, default on
. expand on relay failures messages to include the server and mountpoint
. fix possible race condition with shoutcast style connections.

. fix minor leak on xml settings.
. fix segv on 0-value duration in source, minimum is 2 secs (default 60)
. fix small memory leak on xsl page requests.
. stats update. kbytes used, and frequency of read kbytes reduced.
. change vorbis stream rebuilding to flush at 1 sec at the most.
. minor changes to win32, buffer size issues for stats and xml cleanup
  causes a crash in libxml2
. minor log updates

2.3-kh6
. implement <limit-rate> bps in <mount>, the bitrate which triggers a timer for
  possible source termination, also causes a slow down in reading. default no
  limit applied.
. implement <avg-bitrate-duration>, calculate average bitrate of over so many
  seconds (default 60)
. add <wait-time> to indicate how long a mountpoint is reserved for after a
  source client terminates.
. some internal cleanups
. stats value cleanups.
. possible segv on override case if source is slow to start streaming.
. hardcoded AAC content type missing
. initial xml setting bug, caused crash with later glibc.
. streamlist.txt should list inactive mounts if their hidden fallback is active.
. move listener_connection increases even later so that listeners on failed
  on-demand relays don't get counted.
. updates to charset handler, for failure cases
. kh5a included a fix for a segv that crept in.

2.3-kh5
. add media-type to xsl pages, IE has trouble with xhtml
. add <accesslog-exclude-ext> for defining extensions that do not get reported
  via the web interface (they are still written in the log file). Whether
  alternative tags should be used is still undertermined.
. fix for empty log display via xsl, produced odd chars.
. auth url avoids calling backend code when settings are not defined.
. content type fixes for xslt files
. allow <shoutcast-mount> to appear in <listen-socket>, this defines a per-port
  based mountpoint allowing multiple shoutcast source clients to connect. This
  also defines a port+1 listen-socket automatically.
. xml parsing changed, 'yes' and 'true' can be taken for boolean settings. some
  removal of deprecated tags but may of missed a tag so report if any are.
. added <filter-theora> boolean for <mount>, filters theora out of passed stream
  so listener only gets what is left.
. add per-mount listener_connections stat
. add <allow-url-ogg-metadata> bool per-mount, enable to allow url based metadata
  updates. Default disabled.
. add charset option to mount options. It allows for conversion to UTF8
  for the stats/web pages and therefore YP listings and playlist log.
. minor changes to web pages.
. allow for 403 response from auth url to pass back to listener, in the case of
  a 200 response from auth server, allow 403 at start of message to indicate a
  403 response to listener.

2.3-kh4
. fserve thread now looks for a chain of refbufs as well.

  Only url auth using it currently
. relays now have start timestamps, prevents a possible constant rescanning
  effect with multiple relay failure case
. fix memory leak in ogg flac case.
. update YP, get bitrate from stats (incoming_bitrate), if not provided. Issue
  yp add after 60 secs, gives time for bitrates to settle.
. cleanups in auth setup, push more setup code into the core auth handler.
. when moving listeners, if most recent refbuf is not a sync point then use
  burst point. Fallback theora streams can be affected by this.
. drop master-redirect-port, use <port>.
. set <master-redirect> (in slave) non-zero to send IP/port details in
  streamlist request, so that new listener redirection from master is possible.
. set <max-redirect-slaves> (in master) to specify the number of slave servers
  that can request listener redirection, default 0.
. prevent avg/total byte stats for fallback to file sources.
. allow for server id to be defined in xml.
. add connected stat to source, duration in seconds.
. increase average stats for bitrate calculation to 30 seconds

  - sync intro file change over HUP handling.
  - send 403 responses instead of 404 in certain cases.
. added realm and drop_existing_listener settings to generic auth.
. auth url didn't handle authetication of the invoked scripts. Now the order
  we handle auth is
  - url as   http://user:pass@.../
  - take auth from options username and password
  - if listener_add/remove then use username/password from listener
. fix double free bug in auth

2.3-kh1
. fix double buffer release when dropping auth'd listeners on source exit

  - htpasswd segv bug when auth file is missing
  - auth.xsl fixup
  - mp3 metadata cleanup

2.2-kh16
. fixed segv when using oddcast DSP
. master/slave streamlist is now isolated in its own thread, so should not
  affect the slave thread which among other things does timer updates. libcurl
  is used so that is required but you can do ssl queries if required
. new listeners will be rejected if auth queue is backed up
. Changes to web pages by Dave St John
. isolated SSL/non-SSL switch to connection_t
. An older xslt lib can be used (earliest version has not been determined yet)

. added the favicon.ico file from the website

2.2-kh13
. updates the m4 scripts, pthread for solaris/gcc and check for --with-X
. the ogg reading code could busy loop in certain cases, fixed
. limit ogg codecs per stream to 10 so that it has some upper bound and not a
  potential excessive memory taker.
. always on relays missed out the listener count initially, fixed
. compiler cleanps.
. YP sends server client limit if max_listeners is set, however client_limit
  is not in the stats tree, should it be?
. oddcast sends stream data with http headers, which caused the non-blocking
  connection thread to drop the inital bit of the stream, ie ogg header.
. fix xslt handling properly, buffer truncation was missing and empty string
  was leaving the socket open.
. fixup handling for shoutcast source clients that send a \n for EOL
. only log to access log if a response code is set

2.2-kh12

  handles the http reading, after which it passes it over to the connection
  thread for parsing.
. any xsl file can be placed in admin now and can work off the stats data

. make sure that fallback file streams are hidden
. fix fd leak in error case for file ranges and plaintext list_mounts function
  like that used for querying a master server

  that TCP protocol overhead is kept to a minimum.
. because of the batching, the max send count per client per iteration is less
. fixup streamlist.txt to be sent via fserve thread
. fixup automatic m3u output to be via fserve thread.
. XML read from HUP is not sent via the connection handler now, instead the
  slave thread processes it

. xsl/xml pages from adminroot and webroot are now delivered via the file
  serve thread.
. Allow TouchFreq changes for actions other than add

  the specific auth to decide.
. update auth_url, pass original request url through to auth in mount=
. plug some small memory leaks in auth engine
. remove some dead code

2.2-kh10
. play better with Real/Helix, StreamTitle needs to be sent at least initially.

  end of the listeners lists and the starting position is recorded. 
. use a loop when checking the burst point, that way reducing burst size over
  HUP works on active streams
. fix 64bit usage in access.log on win32
. Add ability for relays to be switched on or off but still reserve the
  mountpoint.

. a few NULL pointer fixes from auth change and some small mem leaks fixed
. don't trigger short delay in fallback file thread

2.2-kh2
. optional url requests for source startup/shutdown.

  not, automatically determined now (drop the ogg-rebuild option)
. more error checking in theora handling
. unused code removal
. merge from trunk
  - add cluster-password
  - admin page for updating title via url


2.1-kh3

    way unknown streams like AAC, NSV just pass through
  - fixup for naming and authenticating of shoutcast mountpoint
  - docs and win32 build setup

2.1-kh2

. filter duplicate metadata in inline mp3 streams 
. minor fix the xslt
. minor leak on failed range header fserve client
. added AAC and AAC+ content-types for mp3 handler
. resync with trunk
    logging metadata, needs testing
    added <shoutcast-mount> for shoucast DSP compatible clients

2.1-kh1
. Added <intro> tag to <mount> to allow the contents of a nominated file
  (in the same format as the stream) to be sent to a listener before the actual
  stream is.  On-demand relays also work with this.
. fallback-mount can now be used to state a file not just another streaming
  mountpoint (needs to be same format as the stream), fallback-override works
  with this.
. the stats.xsl page lists all stats, status.xsl does not show hidden ones.
. internal cleanups when processing clients. Drop the use of per-client predata
  and use usual buffers instead. more even client write distribution.
. resync with work from 2.1 release and trunk
    shoutcast style source client, needs verifying
    NSV streaming.
    Win32 build cleanups

kh58
. fix stability bug on vorbis rewrite module (--enable-vorbis-updates)
. fixes to URL metadata handling. For vorbis streams they didn't update
  the stats/YP, for MP3 they were ignored if the source stream had no metadata
. fixed small leak in slave host handling
. resync with various trunk changes (aliasing cleanups, win32 timezone offset,
  log messages, docs, xsl files etc)
. for auth_url ignore case for authentication header
. updates to slave handling of stats when relays start/stop, mainly relating
  to on-demand relays
. expand on the trigger for determining if a relay has changed, it was only
  on local mountpoint before.
. if an on-demand relay shuts down, don't remove the YP info

kh57
. don't list hidden mounts on streamlist.txt
. fixup format_vorbis from singleq merge, memory leaks and uninitialised
  pointers.
. for YP, grab the ice-bitrate from stats at the time of adding to server,
  this is useful as YP spec has bitrate as mandatory but bitrate may only
  be determined from stream.
. check per-mount auth settings for per-mount admin requests, useful on
  url metadata updates
. resync web and admin docs with recent xhtml work in trunk

kh56
. provide an alternate sock_write_fmt for old style vsnprintf, this was
  causing no data (on truncation) to be sent on windows (stats.xml).
. restructure stats engine, the inc/dec calls could cause incorrect values
  due to racing with unprocessed events. The maths is done in the engine now
. due to the stats engine, various changes to stats for mountpoints have
  happened, most/all cases look ok. stats relays will need double checking
. added max_listeners stat to each listed mount.
. added icecast version global stat
. fixed bug when a on-demand relay as a fallback was being started when
  it should not of been.
. allow for clients to fallback from on-demand relays that fail to start
. The default mp3 interval is now 16000 bytes (inline with trunk) but this
  can be overridden per-mount with <mp3-metadata-interval> in bytes. Other
  format-specific settings could be possible.
. update fserve thread to check which clients are writable, CPU loading
  could become high if slow and fast clients are connected.

kh55
. let the stats relays loop around instead of blocking on conditions, that
  way we don't get out of sync if we miss a wakeup.
. some NULL checks in stats code were missing.
. updated xsl transform code, small changes to status.xsl as well
. add checks for missing / starting mountpoints
. sync up YP in trunk, this looks to be solid now.
. small include cleanups

kh54
. NULL dereference in yp from previous patch now fixed.
. When override set on an on-demand relay, then the relay now checks to see
  if there are any listeners on the fallback mount, if so then it starts up.
. removed useless per source clients stat, listeners already exists

kh53
. remove the last remaining stats at stream shutdown.
. implement hidden attribute for stats, source stats can be toggled between
  hidden/visible. This is a slight change to stats usage but not major.
. mountpoints on xsl are better handled now
. drop slave-host from xml parsing. They are used internally, created and
  removed by master relays authenticating against the relay user/pass.
. when moving clients don't report on-demand relays as source not available
. when moving clients don't show move clients on mount /a to /a entry.
. race fix for YP entries

kh52
. A lot of resync work with trunk
. add queue shrinking, reduces queues to either last listener or burst
. minor race fix, mp3 url update lock.
. allow for xsl files to show inactive mounts but with active fallbacks
. Add <hidden> attribute to <mount> to prevent xsl display
. add <burst-on-connect> flag to maintain compatability with trunk
. doc updates

kh51
. make config lock a rwlock instead of mutex, removes unneccesary stalling
  and removes possible (although not reported) deadlock cases
. very hard to trigger race in util fixed
. on-demand authenticated relay wasn't being kicked off properly
. allow the prevention of duplicate authenticated clients connecting. The
  mechanism is the same as SVN except duplication checking is a generic
  authentication check and applies to all auth mechanisms.
. make connection handler only sleep when connections are not pending
. mp3 streams with in-line metadata could of created some empty nodes, not
a stability problem, but wasteful.
. small memory leak fixes
. small internal code cleanups

kh50
. removed redundant pointer, adding new clients could cause a memory
  corruption problem
. structured relay startup differently, so that relays operate independently
  from one another. relay threads are now attached.
. resync with trunk. make m3u lookups more general, makes static files work
  with .m3u
. encode names and values from stats when building xsl pages
. add /admin/function[.xsl]?perform=xx the current handlers are
    xx = reopenlog
    xx = updatecfg
. removed old abort test

kh49
. allow for changes in mount settings to update active sources
. allow for slaves to authenticate with the master using the 
  master user/pass.
. if client authenticates as a relay then bypass the normal
  authentication and max listeners check.

. resync yp timeout code to the same as in trunk
. allow for redirecting new clients to other hosts when full

kh47
. per mount burst size was not being referred to properly
. added sync markers to queue for client starts, the buffer with a sync mark
  from the burst point is where a client starts from.
. theora marks a sync marker on a page which has the start of a keyframe.
. vorbis and speex mark sync on all buffers unless theora is used. mp3 sync
  marks on every buffer.
. some code re-org for queue management, allows old refbuf removal even
  on socket read timeout
. place clients that can take more pending data at the beginning of the client
  queue. This allows for reducing client scanning when there's a short timeout

kh46
. New listeners actually drop to fallback mount, silly inverse bug
. typo in mp3 metadata handling, affected error case, rare
. make short delay timeout work when reading from source, minor handling
  case from previous update.
. make the ogg vorbis module use 1000 not 1024 as a factor for stats.
. if a YP server is up but not responding with an error message then show
  a default one.
. fixed a fallback problem and improved the log messages for when fallback
  is triggered.

kh45
. fix minor YP cleanup case when YP server fails and source disconnects
. cleanup from previous patch exposed a potential source reading bug, which
  had shown up because sources could disconnect for no reason.

kh44
. fix segv case for non-auth streams, unchecked in last release.
. only send ICY 200 OK if realplayer else send HTTP/1.0 200 OK
. allow for setting username/password for auth URLs
. still apply timeout to recoverable source read

kh43
. add <username> <password> tags for <relay>, default none, both need to
  be provided for auth to be attempted.
. add url based auth module. example in conf, you can state add and
  remove urls to run for each client, each add is passed id, user, pass, ip,
  user agent. The remove is passed id, user, pass, duration
. make sure the global client count is in sync when auth is used

kh42
. drop the use of thread conditional variables in the connection threads,
  they we not working as they should
. minor cleanups, log messages etc
. re-work auth subsystem to allow for slow auth mechanisms
. added command auth, do that listener auth can be done externally. The
  external command should take a mount, user and pass on separate lines and
  return a status code of 0 (authenticated) or non-zero (reject)

kh41
. fixed 401 reporting on missing urls, should be 404. Handle a very rare
  long lock held case as well

kh40
. make sure public is 0 in the stats tree
. move parse_audio_info back to source.c and make it thread safe
. add debug for YP ok case, debug is supposed to be rarely used after all
. up the per-listener max write threshold

  properly, causing problems when clients connected with metadata capable
  clients.

kh38
. re-sync with svn codebase, update listener auth and docs

. plug some minor memory leaks in yp

kh36
. force yp_remove, log message when found, fixed a race as well
. fix mp3 segv when on-demand relays are used
. fix debug messaging in yp.c, helps to track any YP related problems
. emit icy-br instead of icy-bitrate, allow relays to be on YP listings, but
  handle icy-bitrate as well
. <no-yp> (default 0) in <mount> prevents a mount from going on YP listings
. fixes to ice-audio-info handling.
. make yp thread wait longer than it does at shutdown, allows for final
  yp_remove on closing streams

kh35
. handle YP error conditions better.
. moving clients via url allows on-demand relays to startup/shutdown
. segv bug fixed from previous release, http headers were being prepared
  on mount switchover.

    - listing all connected clients on a mountpoint: 
        /admin/listclients?mount=/mountname

2003-03-05
    Implemented the ability to reread the config file on SIGHUP. For now, this
    does not affect configuration for currently running sources (only new
    sources and global parameters like max-listeners)

2003-03-02 
    More features:	 
    -- per mountpoint listener maxima   
    -- static configuration of mountpoint fallbacks   
    -- stream dumping (write incoming stream to disk)

2003-02-27
    Fix log buffering on win32 - previously, logs were never flushed, so they
    only got output every few tens or hundreds of lines.

2003-02-27
	Support new icy-audio-info header, to communicate various parameters to
    clients and yp servers, including sample rate, quality, channels, bitrate

2003-02-25
    Full support for relaying mp3 metadata (if turned on in config file)

2003-02-25
    Allow configuration of maximum client queue length (in bytes)

	Now that it's been officially assigned, use application/ogg instead of
	application/x-ogg

2003-02-07
    Allow relaying of mp3 streams from icecast 1.x and shoutcast

2003-02-07
    Added ability to configure individual relays (rather than just all streams
    from a single server).

2003-02-03
    Added support for YP directory services listings
	are only used by the yp listing routines

2003-02-03
    Support command line parameter -b to run in the background (not supported
    on win32)

2002-12-31 
    Implement configurable mountpoint fallbacks (on source exit, clients are
    transferred to another mountpoint automatically, without disconnecting
    them)

2002-12-31
    Implemented full mp3 metadata support.

(older stuff is missing from here)
