Database Skew Detection. All Rivendell modules will now check that the
|
|
correct database schema is in use when starting up; a mismatched schema
|
|
will cause the module to abort with a 'database version mismatch' error.
|
|
While, for code debugging purposes, this check can be bypassed by adding
|
|
the '--skip-db-check' flag to the command line, its use is *strongly*
|
|
discouraged in production settings as operating with a skewed database
|
|
schema can cause severe database corruption!

|
|
carts by scheduler code in both RDLibrary and the system-wide cart
|
|
selector dialog.

Enhanced JACK Support. A 'JACK Settings' dialog has been added in
|
|
RDAdmin->ManageHosts, making it possible to specify the startup behavior
|
|
and name of the JACK server instance for Rivendell to use. Accordingly,
|
|
the old syscontrol-based method for specifying JACK startup behavior
|
|
should be considered deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
|
|
|
|
New RMLs. Two new RMLs, 'Connect JACK Ports' ['JC'] and 'Disconnect
|
|
JACK Ports' ['JD'] have been added. Accordingly, use of the [JackSession]
|
|
section of rd.conf(5) should be considered deprecated; support for it
|
|
will be removed in a future version.
|
|
|
|
Miscelaneous Bugfixes. See the ChangeLog for details.

|
|
full Rivendell backup and restore (DB+audio) have been added. See

RDCatch Download Events. An 'Event Offset' setting has been added to
|
|
Download Events to allow date wildcards used in the URL field to be offset
|
|
by the indicated number of days.
|
|
|
|
Hard Time Handling in Logs. The logic for processing hard start times in
|
|
logs has been changed so that a hard time event will be executed when wall
|
|
clock time matches regardless of it's place relative to other hard timed
|
|
events.
|
|
|
|
Now & Next Changes. A new plugin architecture has been added that makes it
|
|
possible to create "Rivendell Loadable Modules" (RLMs for short) that can
|
|
be used to generate Now & Next PAD data to a wide array of external devices
|
|
and services. Runtime plugin configuration is accomplished in
|
|
RDAdmin->ManageHosts->RDAirPlay->ConfigureNow&Next. A set of sample
|
|
plugins is provided for transmitting data via UDP and serial ports as well
|
|
as for interfacing to 'social networking' services such as Twitter and
|
|
FaceBook. Information on writing new plugins can be found in the 'rlm.h'
|
|
header file.
|
|
|
|
Dropbox Changes. Several new dropbox features have been added, including

|
|
apply an automatic date offset to any encoded Start or End Date value of
|
|
imported files.
|
|
|
|
Automated System Management. It is now possible to configure various
|
|
objects to be automatically purged from the system after they expire. For
|
|
audio cuts, this can be configured on a group-wide basis in
|
|
RDAdmin->ManageGroups, while Logs and ELR data purging can be configured in
|
|
RDAdmin->ManageServices.
|
|
|
|
RDLogManager Enhancements. A 'Remarks' field has been added to the Event
|
|
and Clock dialogs to provide an area for entering free-form text notes.

|
GPIO Enhancements. It is now possible to configure separate and
|
|
independent macro carts to execute upon the rising and falling state of a
|
|
GPIO line.
|
|
|
|
Username Length. The previous limit of a maximum of eight characters in a
|
|
Rivendell username has been increased to 255, thus allowing for better
|
|
integration with external authentication systems such as Active Directory.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Changes:
|
|
OVERLAP Transition. A new transition type, called 'OVERLAP' has been

added. Operation is similar to that of a SEGUE, except that audio from
|
|
the finishing event is not faded out, but will play at full volumne to the
|
|
end of the event.
|
|
|
|
Scheduler Integration Enhancements. A number of additions have been
|
|
made to allow for greater control and integration between Rivendell and
|
|

|
|
added to RDImport to allow title data to be extracted from CartChunk CutID
|
|
field of imported files.
|
|
|
|
Dependency Changes. As of this release, the LibRadio and LibRHpi packages
|
|
are supplied 'built-in' as part of the core Rivendell distribution. Thus,
|
|
it is NO LONGER NECESSARY to install these packages separately. As part of
|
|
this process, a new utility called 'RDHPIInfo' (formerly the 'RHPIInfo
|
|
utility in LibRadio) has been added.
|
|
|
|
Bug Fixes. A major emphasis of this release has been to fix as many known
|
|
bugs as possible. See the ChangeLog for details.

|
|
|
Integrated Music Scheduler. It is now possible to define music categories
|
|
and schedule music playouts with RDLogManager.
|
|
|
|
RDPanel Module. A new 'RDPanel' module has been added that consists of a
|
|
'full screen' version of the SoundPanel widget found in RDAirPlay.
|
|
Configuration is done in RDAdmin->ManageHosts->RDPanel, and is completely
|
|
independent of the configuration of the SoundPanel in RDAirPlay.
|
|
|
|
SoundPanel Changes. Several changes in the operation of the SoundPanels
|
|
(both in RDAirPlay and RDPanel) have been made, including:
|
|
|
|
1) Improved Panel Navigation. Instead of traversing the set of available
|
|
panels linearly by means of left- and right-arrow buttons, the desired
|
|
panel can now be selected directly by means of a drop-down menu.
|
|
|
|
2) Nameable Panels. It's now possible to give each panel a user-defined
|
|
name.
|
|
|
|
3) Hook Mode. Playouts can be set to play either the full audio content
|
|
or just the designated hook material on a playout-by-playout basis.
|
|
|
|
4) Customizable Default Labels. Default button labels can be now defined
|
|
by means of wildcards in the 'Label Template' control in
|
|
RDAdmin->ManageHosts->RDAirPlay or RDAdmin->ManageHosts->RDPanel.
|
|
|
|
Many bugfixes. See the ChangeLog for details.

|
|
v0.9.76 -- 11/27/2006
|
|
|
|
Changes:
|
|
New/Extended RMLs -- A new 'Toggle On Air Flag' [TA] RML has been
|
|
added that toggles the 'On Air Mode' of RDAirPlay. A new argument
|
|
added to the 'Start Next' [PN] RML allows log meta-events to be
|
|
automatically skipped (useful primarily when integrating with mixer
|
|
surfaces in Manual or LiveAssist modes).
|
|
|
|
Log Refreshing -- It is now possible to 'refresh' a log while
|
|
playing out, thus preserving the view of what has already been
|
|
played in the Full Log widget while still loading updated log
|
|
elements. Such refreshing can be done either manually or
|
|
configured on either a log-by-log or service-by-service basis to
|
|
happen automatically whenever log updates are saved to the database.
|
|
|
|
New AsPlayed Reports -- A 'Technical Report' has been added that
|
|
captures extended playout information from RDAirPlay (such as the
|
|
cause of an event start). A 'SoundExchange Statutory License
|
|
Report' has also been added that can be used to generate data in a
|
|
format suitable for direct submission of music playout data to
|
|
SoundExchange.
|
|
|
|
Printable Reports -- It's now possible to generate ASCII-formatted
|
|
and printable reports about virtually every aspect of Rivendell
|
|
operation, including Cart/Cut lists, Logs, RDCatch events and
|
|
more, by touching the 'Reports' button in the respective Rivendell
|
|
modules. The choice of external viewer/editor used can be set by
|
|
means of the VISUAL environmental variable (default is 'vi' on
|
|
Linux, 'Notepad' on Win32).
|
|
|
|
Log Data Importer Changes -- The parser parameters for 'Length' in
|
|
RDADmin->ManageServices has been split into sections to allow
|
|
specification by hours, minutes and seconds as well as the previously
|
|
supported plain seconds.
|
|
|
|
Audio Auditioning -- It's now possible to audition audio directly
|
|
from the Edit Log dialog in RDLogEdit and the Edit Event dialog in
|
|
RDLogManager. No attempt is made evaluate rotation logic when
|
|
auditioning -- merely the first valid audio found in the selected
|
|
cart is played.
|
|
|
|
Cart Validity Indication (EXPERIMENTAL) -- The color-coding of
|
|
Carts and Cuts in RDLibrary has been altered so as to show the
|
|
event's 'playability' *at the instant the event is viewed*. The
|
|
yellow 'conditional' indication has been retired.
|
|
|
|
Many Bugfixes -- See the ChangeLog for details.

|
|
v0.9.69 -- 07/20/2006
|
|
|
|
Changes:
|
|
Voicetracking. A major new feature in this version, voicetracking
|
|
gives operators the ability to insert dynamic, "one-off" audio content to
|
|
individual logs as well as the ability to individually customize each segue
|
|
transition of a log. Carts for voicetracked content are automatically
|
|
created and deleted "on-the-fly" by the system, with no need for individual
|
|
cart management in the Library.
|
|
|
|
RDLogManager Changes. The sequence for generating logs in RDLogManager has
|
|
been completely overhauled, making it now possible to generate a log and
|
|
apply voice tracks even before Traffic import data are available (so-called
|
|
"incremental log linking"). Several features have also been added to
|
|
support operation with music-intensive formats, such as the ability to
|
|
schedule embedded voicetracks and spots sets from external music scheduling
|
|
systems (currently only tested with RCS Selector).
|
|
|
|
RDDBCheck. A utility for checking consistency of the Rivendell database.

AES46-2002 (aka "CartChunk")
|
|
ID3v1 and ID3v2 Tags
|
|
TM Century "GoldWave" Extensions
|
|
TM Century "GoldDrive" Format
|
|
|
|
RDImport Enhancements. RDImport has been completely rewritten from
|
|
scratch, with an eye to improved stability and features (including
|
|
'SingleCart' and 'DropBox' modes). Do 'rdimport --help' at a
|
|
command prompt to get a list of the possibilities.
|
|
|
|
RDCatch Enhancements. It's now possible to configure AutoTrim and
|
|
Normalization of Download Events, as well as Normalization of
|
|
Record Events.
|
|
|
|
New Report Type. An 'ASCAP/BMI Electronic Music Report' report
|
|
format has been added. This uses the so-called "Paris" format to
|
|
generate EDI records that can be submitted directly to ASCAP/BMI
|
|
for satisfaction of a station's music reporting requirements. New
|
|
data fields (including Composer, Publisher and Usage Type) have
|
|
also been added to the library to accomodate this functionality.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|

Changes:
|
|
CD Ripper Enhancements. Major enhancements have been made to the
|
|
CD ripper functionality in the RDLibrary module, including:
|
|
|
|
CD-TEXT Support. The rippers now use CD-TEXT data in
|
|
preference to the FreeDB. If no CD-TEXT data is found on a
|
|
disk, then the FreeDB is searched as before.
|
|
|
|
International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) Support. If
|
|
found, the rippers will now record the ISRC string from each
|
|
track. These strings can be viewed and/or edited in the
|
|
'CutInfo/Record' dialog box.
|
|
|
|
Automatic Cart/Cut Generation. In the Full Disk ripper, it's
|
|
now possible to rip an entire CD into the system with just a few
|
|
mouse clicks. This can be done on a track-by-track basis by
|
|
clicking the 'Add New Cart' button in the Select Cut dialog, or
|
|
for all the tracks at once by clicking the 'Set All New Carts'
|
|
button.
|
|
|
|
New Build Targets. It's now possible to build Rivendell as a
|
|
Slackware package by doing 'make slack' (requires the Slackware
|
|
packaging tools) or as a SLAX module by doing 'make slax' (requires
|
|
the Linux-live scripts and the Slackware packaging tools).
|
|
|
|
RDCatch Enhancements. The previous hard-coded system-wide limit of
|
|
16 RDCatch decks has been removed, making it possible to configure
|
|
and use an arbitrarily large number of decks.
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous Bugfixes. See the ChangeLog.

|
|
v0.9.62 -- 11/29/2005
|
|
|
|
This is a bugfix release of Rivendell. Among the issues corrected
|
|
are:
|
|
|
|
A PATH problem in the init script that was causing RDCatch Upload
|
|
and Download events to fail.
|
|
|
|
Problems with RDAirPlay starting a Hard Timed event reliably under
|
|
certain situations.
|
|
|
|
See the ChangeLog for a full list.
|
|
|
|
Library Versions:
|
|
This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.94.0 and
|
|
librhpi-0.94.4 be installed. If installing from RPM, the version of
|
|
the currently installed libraries can be determined by doing:
|
|
|
|
rpm -q libradio
|
|
rpm -q librhpi
|
|
|
|
Database Update:
|
|
As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
v0.9.61 -- 11/22/2005
|
|
|
|
Changes:
|
|
RDLibrary Useability Tweaks. When new carts are created in
|
|
RDLibrary, they are now considered to officially exist upon clicking
|
|
the 'OK' button in the Add Cart dialog, in contradistinction to the
|
|
old policy where they didn't 'stick' until 'OK' was clicked in the
|
|
Edit Cart dialog. The old way tended to be confusing for many
|
|
opertors, as clicking 'Cancel' in the Edit Cart dialog would result
|
|
in any recorded audio being deleted. Also then creating a new
|
|
cart, RDLibrary will now create a single empty cut within the cart
|
|
by default.
|
|
|
|
Various Bugfixes. See the ChangeLog for details.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
v0.9.60 -- 11/15/2005
|
|
|
|
Changes:
|
|
ELR/Report Data Handling. ELR/Report data is now managed on a
|
|
Service-wide basis, rather than being associated with individual
|
|
logs. This is reflected in a revamped interface in RDLogManager,
|
|
where 'Generate Reports' and 'Delete Report Data' buttons have been
|
|
merged into a single 'Manager Report Data' button.
|
|
|
|
SoundPanel Configuration Permissioning. A new user right,
|
|
'Configure System Panels', can be used to control which users are
|
|
allowed to configure System (type 'S') Sound Panel buttons in
|
|
RDAirPlay.
|
|
|
|
Various Bugfixes. Including bugs affecting the ability to
|
|
generate a new Rivendell database and account lockouts when used
|
|
with certain version of mySQL.
|
|
|
|
Library Versions:
|
|
This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.94.0 and

be applied.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
v0.9.58 -- 11/04/2005
|
|
|
|
This release fixes a minor bug in the KDE desktop integration code for
|
|
the RPM packaging. For users who do not install from RPM, there is no
|
|
difference between this version and v0.9.57.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
v0.9.57 -- 11/03/2005
|
|
|
|
This is primarily a bugfix release of Rivendell. Some minor user
|
|
interface tweaks have also been added:
|
|
|
|
Changes:
|
|
SuSE Desktop Integration. When installing from RPM, items for the
|
|
various Rivendell modules will now be added to the Panel Menu in
|
|
the 'Applications' and 'System->Desktop Applet' sections.
|
|
|
|
Rivendell Icons. A set of Rivendell icons at various resolutions
|
|
have been added. They can be found in the package documentation
|
|
directory on an RPM installation, or in 'icons/' in the sources.
|
|
|
|
Report Data Management. It's now possible to manage report/ELR
|
|
data independently of the log it originated from. A new user
|
|
attribute, called 'Delete Report Data' configures the right to
|
|
delete Report data in the Edit User dialog. Report data can be
|
|
deleted either when the parent log is deleted, or by means of a new
|
|
'Delete Report Data' button in RDLogManager.
|
|
|
|
Numerous Bugfixes. Including the dilly that was causing responses
|
|
to Yes|No dialog boxes to be ignored. See the ChangeLog for details.
|
|
|
|
Library Versions:
|
|
This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.94.0 and

|
|
|
RDAirPlay.
|
|
Fixed corrupt Hard Time display in Full Log Widget (Mantis bug

|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
v0.9.54 -- 10/06/2005
|
|
|
|
This is primarily a bugfix release of Rivendell. Some minor user
|
|
interface tweaks have also been added:
|
|
|
|
Changes:
|
|
RDLibrary Tweaks. Evergreen cuts in the Edit Cart dialog now show
|
|
with a green background.
|
|
|
|
RML Behavior. It is now possible to STOP a macro cart running a
|
|
'Sleep' [SP] command in RDAirPlay.
|
|
|
|
RDCatch Source Monitoring Tweaks. It is now possible to set the
|
|
default state of the source monitors for record decks in RDAdmin,
|
|
and have the monitor's state be preserved across multiple
|
|
invocations of RDCatch.
|
|
|
|
RDLogManagerTweaks. Unneeded and misleading 'Hour' fields have
|
|
been removed from time entry fields where appropriate.
|
|
|
|
Library Versions:
|
|
This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.94.0 and
|
|
librhpi-0.94.4 be installed. If installing from RPM, the version of
|
|
the currently installed libraries can be determined by doing:
|
|
|
|
rpm -q libradio
|
|

|
|
|
|
Database Update:
|
|
As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after
|
|
upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to
|
|
be applied.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
v0.9.53 -- 09/28/2005
|
|
|
|
Changes:
|
|
RDCatch Enhancements. It is now possible to configure a single
|
|
record 'window' in RDCatch and configure multiple shorter
|
|
recordings within that window to be started by means of GPI
|
|
closures.
|
|
|
|
Asynchronous Macro Carts. It's now possible to designate a macro
|
|
cart as to be executed 'Asynchronously', meaning that, when
|
|
executed within a log in RDAirPlay, any Sleep ['SP'] RMLs contained
|
|
within the cart will not delay subsequent log events, but *will*
|
|
delay subsequent RML statements within the cart itself. This can
|
|
be useful for achieving various special effects, such as starting a
|
|
music bed and then playing a seperately carted dry voiceover on top
|
|
of it.
|
|
|
|
RDLibrary Enhancements. RDLibrary will now give explicit warning
|
|
about various out-of-parameter conditions (like audio carts that
|
|
contain no audio). It's now also possible to specify the 'Forced
|
|
Length' of a cart (for timescaling purposes) without obscuring the
|
|
actual average length of the cart.
|
|
|
|
Many Bugfixes. Especially with regard to RDCatch, MPEG encoding
|
|
and electronic log reconciliation (ELR) functionality. See the
|
|
ChangeLog for details.
|
|
|
|
Library Versions:
|
|
This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.94.0 and
|
|
librhpi-0.94.4 be installed. If installing from RPM, the version of
|
|
the currently installed libraries can be determined by doing:
|
|
|
|
rpm -q libradio
|
|
rpm -q librhpi
|
|
|
|
Database Update:
|
|
As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after
|
|
upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to
|
|
be applied.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
v0.9.51 -- 08/31/2005
|
|
|
|
This version of Rivendell is mostly a bugfix/cleanup release. Changes
|
|
are noted below.
|
|
|
|
Changes:
|
|
Rdcatch_copy(1). This is a new importer filter that can be used to
|
|
copy RDCatch events from one Rivendell Host to another, both within
|
|
a single database and between two different Rivendell databases.
|
|
|
|
Importer Packaging Changes. The utilities in the 'importers/'
|
|
subdirectory (wings_filter(1), sas_filter(1), crc-unity4k.sh(1)
|
|
and rdcatch_copy(1)) now come packaged in their own seperate RPM,
|
|
called 'rivendell-importers'. This is because these utilities are
|
|
typically only used once, during system installation, and then
|
|
removed.
|
|
|
|
Usability Tweaks. Several here and there, mostly to make the
|
|
various user interfaces more consistent with each other. See the
|
|
ChangeLog for details.
|
|
|
|
Various bugfixes. See the ChangeLog for details.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
v0.9.49 -- 08/09/2005
|
|
|
|
Changes:
|
|
Fixed a stupid bug that broke browsing in the Cart Selector and Cut
|
|
Selector dialog boxes when the group selector was set to 'ALL'.
|
|
|
|
RDCatch Enhancements. It's now possible to schedule overlapping
|
|
Record events with the same deck but with different GPI and
|
|
destination cut parameters. RDCatch will record to the correct
|
|
cut on the basis of which GPI was received.
|
|
|
|
Library Versions:
|
|
This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.93.2 and
|
|
librhpi-94.1 be installed. If installing from RPM, the version of
|
|
the currently installed libraries can be determined by doing:
|
|
|
|
rpm -q libradio
|
|
rpm -q librhpi
|
|
|
|
Database Update:
|
|
As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after
|
|
upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to
|
|
be applied.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
v0.9.48 -- 08/07/2005
|
|
|
|
Changes:
|
|
Upload Events in RDCatch. It's now possible to schedule the
|
|
automatic export and upload of audio files in RDCatch. The
|
|
following upload protocols are supported:
|
|
FILE
|
|
FTP
|
|
SMB
|
|
|
|
Database Support Cleanups. Added directives to rd.conf(5) to make
|
|
it possible for Rivendell to work with RDBMS back-ends other than
|
|
mySQL. This feature has not been at all well tested as of yet.
|
|
|
|
Import Filter for AirForce 'Wings' System. The filter can be used
|
|
to import the entire audio archive of an AirForce 'Wings' system
|
|
*in situ*, without requiring reencoding of audio and while
|
|
preserving much of the library meta-data from the original system.
|
|
See the 'WINGS_FILTER.txt' file in the documentation directory for
|
|
more information.
|
|
|
|
New Swticher Device Support. Added support for the BroadcastTools
|
|
SS16.4 swticher.
|
|
|
|
MPEG Cleanups. Many bugfixes regarding the use and handling of
|
|
MPEG audio.
|
|
|
|
RDLogEdit Fixes. Fixed all known outstanding issues with
|
|
RDLogEdit.
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous Bugfixes. See the ChangeLog for details.

|
|
Database Update:
|
|
As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after
|
|
upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to
|
|
be applied.
|
|

|
|
v0.9.47 -- 07/29/2005
|
|
|
|
Changes:
|
|
Download Events in RDCatch. It's now possible to schedule the
|
|
automatic download and import of audio files in RDCatch. The
|
|
following download protocols are supported:
|
|
FILE
|
|
FTP
|
|
HTTP
|
|
HTTPS
|
|
SMB
|
|
|
|
RDAdmin Changes. A number of features have been added to RDAdmin
|
|
to make configuration and management of Rivendell systems easier,
|
|
especially for larger sites. These include the ability to create
|
|
new Host and Service entries using an already existing Host or
|
|
Service as a prototype, as well as the ability to remotely inspect the
|
|
audio configuration and capabilities of all systems on the Rivendell
|
|
network from a single instance of RDAdmin. Users of the ALSA
|
|
driver may also want to consult the 'ALSA.txt' for instructions on
|
|
adding an ALSA control device definition to their '.asoundrc'
|
|
file. While not strictly necessary, such a control device will
|
|
allow Rivendell to provide more specific audio configurtion
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
Numerous bugfixes, including the infamous ripcd(8) race condition.
|
|
See the ChangeLog for details.
|
|
|
|
New Dependencies:
|
|
Several new dependencies have been added in this release, for which
|
|
new packages may need to be installed. They are:
|
|
|
|
lukemftp
|
|
samba-client
|
|
wget
|
|
|
|
Library Versions:
|
|
This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.93.1 and
|
|
librhpi-94.1 be installed. If installing from RPM, the version of
|
|
the currently installed libraries can be determined by doing:
|
|
|
|
rpm -q libradio
|
|
rpm -q librhpi
|
|
|
|
Database Update:
|
|
As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after
|
|
upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to
|
|
be applied.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
v0.9.45 -- 07/18/2005
|
|
|
|
Changes:
|
|
Full Disk Ripping. It's now possible (by touching the 'Rip Disk'
|
|
button in RDLibrary's main window) to rip all of the tracks on a CD
|
|
to multiple Cart/Cut destinations in a single operation. The
|
|
individual track ripper accessed from RDLibrary's Edit Cart dialog
|
|
remains as well.
|
|
|
|
RDLogin User List. The list of available user names is now shown
|
|
in RDLogin as a pulldown list, rather than requiring the user to
|
|
enter the name.
|
|
|
|
Security System. It's now impossible for the same user to be both
|
|
an Administrator and a regular user, and checking the 'Administer
|
|
System' box in RDAdmin's User Dialog will now gray out all the
|
|
other checkbox choices. This was done to discourage trolling for
|
|
admin accounts when using RDLogin (see 'RDLogin User List' above).
|
|
|
|
Logitek Audio Engine Support. Full Rivendell integration with
|
|
Logitek's Audio Engine system is now possible through use of Logitek's
|
|
'vGuest' control API (part of their 'Supervisor' application). I
|
|
would like especially to thank John Davis from Logitek for his
|
|
invaluable assistance in getting this working.
|
|
|
|
Bugfixes. In particular, bugs affecting audio playout from
|
|
RDLibrary's Edit Audio window, as well as problems with saving long
|
|
logs. See the ChangeLog for details.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
v0.9.38 -- 07/01/2005
|
|
|
|
Changes:
|
|
Security System Cleanups. A lot of time in this release has gone
|
|
into ensuring that the various user permission attributes are
|
|
correctly and consistently enforced across all of Rivendell's modules.
|
|
|
|
Group Permissioning by User. It is now possible to define which
|
|
Library Groups will be visible in RDLibrary on a user-by-user
|
|
basis. This can be used to effectively 'partition' the Library
|
|
into multiple 'sub-libraries'.
|
|
|
|
RDAdmin Overhaul. RDAdmin's UI has been overhauled to make it
|
|
stylebook-compliant (e.g. doubleclicks now work, focus problems
|
|
fixed, etc). In addition, the List Groups dialog has been
|
|
substantially expanded and enhanced.
|
|
|
|
RDLogManager Overhaul. Likewise, RDLogManager's UI has been
|
|
overhauled, with many focus issues corrected. Additionally,
|
|
right-click menus have been added in the Edit Clock and Edit Grid
|
|
dialogs to permit an underlying Event/Clock object to be directly
|
|
edited without having to reascend to the main RDLogManager window.
|
|
|
|
Electronic Log Reconciliation. Lots of bugfixes in the ELR
|
|
generation routines. Right now, this works only with the Wicks/CBSI
|
|
'DeltaFlex' system.
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous Bugfixes. A great many. See the ChangeLog for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
v0.9.34 -- 06/01/2005
|
|
|
|
Changes:
|
|
TSX Timescaling Support. If you have an AudioScience series 61xx
|
|
or 62xx card, it is now possible to have playout events in RDAirPlay be
|
|
automatically timescaled to the correct length using these cards'
|
|
'TSX Timescaling' feature, by checking the 'Enforce Length' box on
|
|
the respective cart label in RDLibrary.
|
|
|
|
Event and Clock Filtering. It's now possible to filter the
|
|
display of Events and Clocks in RDLogManager in accordance with
|
|
their association with one or more Services.
|
|
|
|
Audio Passthrough. It's now possible to configure a 'Local Audio
|
|
Adapter' switcher device, making it possible to control audio
|
|
passing from the inputs to the outputs of the soundcards using
|
|
standard switcher control RMLs. See the file 'docs/SWITCHERS.txt'
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
RDCatch Record Deck Monitoring. It's now possible configure a
|
|
'Monitor Port' for each Record Deck in RDCatch for realtime
|
|
monitoring of the source audio.
|
|
|
|
Bugfixes, especially in the direct ALSA driver. See the ChangeLog
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
v0.9.32 -- 05/10/2005
|
|
|
|
Changes:
|
|
Direct ALSA Support. It is now possible to use up to eight ALSA
|
|
sound devices directly, without the need to use JACK. See the file
|
|
'docs/ALSA.txt' for information on setting this up.
|
|
|
|
RDCatch Changes. RDCatch has been extensively rewritten to support
|
|
the use GPI closures for controlling Record Events. The Record
|
|
Event dialog has been reorganized accordingly.
|
|
|
|
Multiple Sample Rate Support. The JACK driver will now properly
|
|
deal with playout of audio that has been encoded with a sampling
|
|
rate different from that being used in the active JACK graph.
|
|
|
|
Stream Meters Hack. It is now possible to get usable audio meters
|
|
in all modules except RDAirPlay with older ASI cards that lack port
|
|
metering capability. See the file 'SupportedCards' for details.
|
|
|
|
Default Transition Type. It is now possible to specify the default
|
|
transition type of newly added events in RDAdmin.
|
|
|
|
New Switcher Types. The BroadcastTools 16x2 and 12.4 switchers are
|
|
now supported.
|
|
|
|
Usability Tweaks. Added many UI tweaks designed to enhance
|
|
usability. See the ChangeLog for details.
|
|
|
|
Bugfixed. As always, lots of these! See the ChangeLog for details.
