Centova Cast v3.1.0 Released – August 06, 2014

The long-awaited release of Centova Cast v3.1.0 has arrived!

The following is a complete list of changes included in Centova Cast v3.1.0:

Major new features

Added support for LiquidSoap as an autoDJ. LiquidSoap provides most if not all of the features of sctrans2 and ices-cc (supporting AAC/MP3/Opus on both SHOUTcast v2 and IceCast), and is free and open-source.
Added new AJAX-based paginated accounts list in the admin and reseller control panels.

Minor new features

Warning emails are now throttled when a server/source repeatedly fails to start
Added pre-rotate-logs and post-rotate-logs event notifications
Added support for viewing gzipped log files in log manager
Added warning when setting DNAS/DNAS2 “disconnect idle sources after” setting to 0
Added the server.authenticate API method
Add PluginHooks::register_once() to avoid duplicate callback registrations
Added NO_ROTATE_DNAS2 option to centovacast.conf to prevent Centova Cast from rotating SHOUTcast DNAS v2 log files
Metadata charset is now configurable per-mountpoint
The cron job’s –job parameter now optionally supports multiple, comma-separated job names
