SHOUTcast DNAS 2.5.0.7.1.5 + x64

Added multiple 1.x source client support
Added ability for listeners to be provided the 'backupfile or 'streambackupfile' when no source connected
Added 'backuploop' and 'streambackuploop' options (default = 0 to keep looping) for controlling the number of consecutive backup file play loops
Added 'backuptitle' and 'streambackuptitle' options for use with the no source backup file support
Added validation of the passwords to ensure the colon character is a special case that is not used
Added a server admin page to show the advert group details of the currently active streams as well as the status of advert pulls
Added visual indication whether a client may play adverts and if it has played any adverts
Added extra parameter checking of the banning / reserved IP actions (including fixing a DNAS lockup / crash due to bad data in some cases)
Added banning a client connection by IP / DNS to also block access to most of the API methods from the server
Added better debug logging of the banning / reserved client access control
Added server admin page to allow for toggling the debug options on / off whilst the DNAS is running without the need to manually edit the config file
Added options to enable / disable all of the debugging options on the server admin page
Added 'streamlisted' and 'streamlistederror' (if applicable) to the stats responses for getting the stream's listed status
Added automatic downloading of newer DNAS builds and related changes to the new version update messages
Added auth / metrics / adverts traffic to the bandwidth tracking page and methods
Added checks to prevent trying to publically list un-supported streams e.g. OGG Vorbis and NSV which are now marked as private
Added the uptime indication to all of the admin pages for better consistency
Added extra handling to better detect the stream bitrate from sources (primarily Icecast relays)
Added clearing the cached stats / playlist responses to the 'clearcache' admin method
Added a generic html5 audio player to the bottom of the stream summary and admin summary pages as a quick way to check what the stream is playing (mp3 streams only and relies on the browser default implementation)
Added caching of the public stats and other commonly accessed pages and resources (1 sec) and playlist (5 sec) responses from the server to improve response times under heavy loads
Added 'startrelays' and 'kicksources' admin modes for batch starting configured relays and batch stopping of all connected sources
Adding a lot of extra parameter validation based on reproduceable crashes and input validation failures
Added support for additional genres on the appropriate DNAS pages, api responses and listener connections (how to access this will follow later)
Added basic support on the Linux build to get some form of crash report with it creating a file like /tmp/sc_serv_segfault_.log (where is the process id)
Added better debug output for tracking transitions into and out of the advert plays as well as the number of successful plays
Added a debug column when admetricsdebug=1 is set for better tracking of advert issues in addition to the tooltip shown in the connected column
Added 'referer' and 'x-forwarded-for' values to the listener stats api responses (user request)
Added option on the server admin summary page for manually checking for new versions of the DNAS
Added the current log and conf files to the server admin summary page so it is easier to see what is being used
Added extra 1.x source title UTF-8 conversions which should improve handling of non UTF-8 titles
Added support to provide PSAs for listeners assigned an advert group but there is available advert group to play on advert triggers
Added better checking of advert inserts and frame syncing for AAC based streams to improve playback
Added better memory handling which reduces per-listener and web request memory usage by up to 50% (primarily via structure re-packing and reducing duplication)
Added support for new YP requirements and interaction
Changed handling of relays from other 2.x DNAS to reduce CPU usage when active (gives a 50% CPU reduction on the RPi build!)
Changed when successful title updates are logged to avoid confusion if it subsequently fails
Changed the public stream status page (index.html?sid=0) to show a bit more information about the active streams
Changed the public status page text for YP error code 480 to make it clearer why a stream is not listed
Changed the log level for bad title updates from error to warning
Changed some of the threading error messages to be more consistent
Changed all static images provided by the DNAS to come from /images/* for improved caching and speeds up some page loads
Changed 'server' to 'stream' where appropriate on the public and admin pages for better consistency
Changed 'admin login' to 'stream login' and some other related changes for better consistency
Changed invalid bitrates from the source to be reported as 'unknown' instead of '0'

Changed the ordering of the http page handling to detect commonly used pages a bit quicker (micro-optimisation)
Changed the ordering of the http requests and checks done to speed up commonly accessed pages (in-addition to caching changes)
Changed some of the curl instances to only be created when actually needed and to not be done for private stream instances
Changed the advert title display on the song history page to make it clearer what is sent to the clients to make it clearer when an advert title trigger was received and what the listener is sent once its processed

Changed some common listener response strings to be initialised once instead of every time
Changed title updates to filter out duplicate title updates where applicable
Changed all url / ip config value checking to be done consistently and applied to all applicable cases
Changed the Windows builds timer resolution to a preferred method which will not affect the system wide timer resolution (that was a bad thing to be doing)
Changed the station name link to shoutcast.com to use the now preferred method
Changed the 'songhistory' default from 10 to 20 to provide an average of an hour's song history
Changed the 'metainterval ' default from 8192 to 16384 to better match other broadcasting platforms

Changed how some parts of the server are built to prevent data being modified when it should not
Changed w3c log archive name to better distinguish from normal log archive naming

Other code cleanup, minor bug fixes, page cleanups and anything else to improve stability, useability and responsiveness of the server

Fixed issues with not finding cacert.pem in the same location as the DNAS program file which was preventing YP connectivity working (2.4.1 build 164 specific)
Fixed broken relative config file handling not working correctly with init scripts and 3rd party control panels (2.4.1 build 165 specific)
Changed some of the log and admin page output to better show the actual filepath being used for log and configuration files (helpful for determining path loading issues)
Changed handling incase the cacert.pem file cannot be found to be more forgiving for the time being (futher changes will follow in later builds)
Removed 'Error writing to console' log messages when screenlog=1 (default) and the shell the DNAS was started in is closed whilst the DNAS is still running e.g. due to OS defined timeouts - always use screenlog=0 if running the DNAS and you do not need it sending log output to the console

Added support for the Radionomy advert and metrics platforms so you can earn money from overlaying some adverts on the stream and / or leveraging the online broadcasting tools from Radionomy (this is an opt-in feature and requires a Radionomy account - it does not prevent you using the DNAS like before)
Added 'publicip' to be used to specify a DNS / IP value to use for what the YP will see as your server address when 'destip' is used for binding against a non-public value e.g. anything in the loopback address range (see documentation for usage)
Added 'alternateports' which can be used to allow for client only connections on port(s) other than 'portbase' e.g. to deal with firewalls blocking client access on some networks
Added 'disableicy' to the options handled by the configuration reload action
Added 'rotateinterval' to allow for changing the time between automatic log rotations (default is 24 hours) and can be set to 0 to disable log rotation completely
Added basic command-line help into the DNAS itself (use /? or --help) which is based on the OS version being used without the need to consult the main documentation
Added better handling of the intro and backup files to ensure they match the stream format and will now reject files which do not match the bitrate
Changed 'disableicy=1' handling (default behaviour since 2.2.2) to allow 1.x clients which explicitly request in-stream metadata to still receive it e.g. VLC and foobar2000
Fixed crash when rotating the log and w3c files (this was mainly seen under Centova Cast installs) and some other log file handling refinements
Fixed authhash issues specific to the 2.2.2 release (mainly seen as a 462 error code when trying to use the management actions)
Fixed handling of unrecognised loopback addresses causing incorrect addresses in some of the DNAS responses e.g. the listen.* methods
Fixed MP3 intro files breaking stream playback (such as causing stuttering or just not playing anything else) when transitioning to the actual audio stream e.g. most Flash based players (this is an issue going all the way back to the v1.x DNAS!)
Fixed MP3 streams not starting on a full audio frame (this should improve client compatibility, more so with Flash based players)
Fixed the 'Block User Agent' column on the stream admin page not showing the correct action (it could be shown in the 'Reserve Client' in some cases)
Fixed repeated admin login prompt when trying to manage an authhash in some cases (mainly if having per-stream admin passwords)
Removed specific handling for the deprecated AOL shoutcast.com site / embeddable Flash player (that specific player is no longer officially supported hence removing support for it)
Other miscellaneous code changes, improvements and related documentation updates

Completed remaining v1.x compatibility improvements (specifically relating to YP availability issues so clients are now only blocked from connecting if there is no source connected)
Added experimental 'streamportlegacy' option to allow for supporting more than one direct legacy v1 source connection to the server (see documentation for usage / limitations)
Changed Windows service install / uninstall messages when UAC elevation / admin access is required to undertake the action

Fixed missing 'UID' value for client disconnects in the main log output
Fixed some clients being incorrectly shown as 'HTML5' client types when they were not on the admin pages
