We've been overdue for an update! Here's some liquidsoap-related news: * We released 2.1.2, the second bugfix release on the 2.1.x branch. So far this branch seems to be doing well!
* We have done some heavy lifting work on the main branch. You might notice if you go to https://www.liquidsoap.info/doc-dev/reference.html, along with Samuel's excellent re-organization of the documentation categories, that the source types have changed and now look like this: source(audio=pcm('a), 'b) This is because we have been working on updating the typing system to support any arbitrary collection of tracks in a source. Previously, a source was only able to handle at most one audio ,video or midi track. With these changes, we should now be able to support any configuration of tracks, for instance, if the source is intended to carry the content of a multi multilingual movie with subtitles: source( audio_en=pcm(stereo), audio_fr=pcm(stereo), video=canvas, subtitles=srt ) The next step now is to add support for these type of contents in the decoders, muxers, demuxers, operators and encoders! Once this is done, we will be ready to release the 2.2.x stable branch with it! * We have begun planning the next liquidshop workshop! One exciting development on this front is that we are planning on using liquidsoap to run it! We have a workable proof of concept that we are looking at solidifying for the workshop. Date should be around January. If you are interested to speak, you can start thinking about it. We're also looking for beta testers for the liquidsoap-based presentation code! * Leading to the workshop, we'd like to consider moving off of the slack platform. Nothing wrong with the technical product but the fact that they do not offer free plans for open-source communities is ridiculous and we're constantly loosing history and, so, community knowledge. We previously thought we could maintain a bridge between the two but this seems unreasonable. Thus, we might have to do it cold turkey.. The leading platform for the switch at the moment seems to be discord. That's it for now! We have more ideas for the roadmap past 2.2.x but we'll come back to it, maybe for the workshop presentation. Thanks for y'all support! -- Romain & Sam
