Hi!

Liquidsoap 2.0.0-rc1 is out:
https://github.com/savonet/liquidsoap/releases/tag/v2.0.0-rc1The 2.0.0
release branch brings important and fundamental changes to liquidsoap, in
particular:
* First-class support of video
* Tight integration with ffmpeg, encoders, decoders, filters and more
* Enhanced language features making the script language a fully-featured
language
* A fully featured book  to learn about the language

About this release

This is the first release candidate for the 2.0.0 release branch. This
release means that we are satisfied with the current stability of the
branch and are looking at releasing a final version soon.

As a result, the repository’s main branch has been versioned to 2.1.0 and
we have forked off a 2.0.0-rc1 branch. This branch will only get bug fixes
and we shall keep releases of the 2.0.x series for bug fixes in the future.

This release is also the first to make it to the opam repository. This
means that users installing liquidsoap without a specific version will get
2.0.0~rc1 installed. While this version may not be entirely free of bugs
(are there any such thing?), we believe that it is ready for larger
consumption and, also, that this will accelerate the release process by
exposing more and more users to it, helping us to shape it to its final
form.

If you absolutely need to make sure you installed a given version, please
update your scripts using opam to install a fixed version, i.e.:

  opam install liquidsoap.1.4.4

This is actually a good practice for any automated liquidsoap opam install
that depends on a specific version.

We want to thank all our users for their critical help in testing,
reporting, working with us and trusting us through this release process. We
can’t wait to have the final 2.0.0 version out!

Personal note

This release was delayed as one of our developers was being displaced due
to hurricane Ida’s path of destruction through Southern Louisiana. While
New Orleans is often the focus of the world’s attention (and usually not
for so long), this catastrophic event has impacted a lot of smaller
communities around southern Louisiana that usually get little or no focus.
While this open-source project is provided free of charge, if you feel so
inclined to make a donation as a form of appreciation, we suggest they can
be send to:
