Icecast 2.1 11/04/2004
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
****New features for 2.1 (in no particular order):****

-Listener Authentication-

  Icecast now supports listener authentication.  This provides a mechanism for
  creating/maintaining users and passwords for listeners.  Currently, we only
  have implemented a simple, file-based storage for users and passwords.  New
  authenticators are on the horizon (such as URL-based or possibly MySQL based)
  New admin pages were also added for the maintenance of users/passwords. Please
  check the docs for a more detailed description of this new feature.

-Multi-Level Fallbacks-

  Multi-level fallbacks allow for specifications of a series of fallback mounts
  that you could use, for instance, to set up a series of progressively lower
  bitrate streams that would be cascaded through.  For instance, a modem user
  would connect to the highest bitrate stream, and then could be cascaded
  down to a progressively lower stream until they reach a value they can
  handle.

-Burst-On-Connect-

  This is an new, optional config setting which will send a initial burst of
  data to connecting listeners.  This has the effect of reducing
  (significantly) the startup buffer latency from the end-user perspective.
  This option is enabled by default.


****New Enhancements for 2.1****

-Update to admin interface-

  This interface has been cleaned up quite a bit and made a bit nicer.

-Rewrite of the YP listing code-

  The icecast yp code has received a complete overhaul by karl, and it's a much
  more stable and failure-resistant implementation.

-Lots and lots of bugs fixed-

  Check the ChangeLog for a complete list of these...
