Note: is currently hosted on my own hosting due to permission issues with uploading to the official hosting so rather than wait longer for an update, we'll use my hosting. - It was until someone decided to repeatedly download things... now hosted on the forums as v2.2 will not be uploaded to the main site, instead the following v2.2.1 will be...


Changes

Build 107 (10/16/2013):

See the attachment for all changes since build 29 (there are 132 noted changes and many more un-noted ones!)


Getting Started

If you already have a running instance of the DNAS v2 then there should not be any issues with replacing your current version with this new version.

If this is a new install then make sure to read through the information in 'Readme_DNAS_Server.html' and the related documentation as well as considering using the setup mode which should make it easier to get started over all prior v2.0 builds (and v1 based releases).

Finally, all current copies of the documentation are included with the installer / archive and is the recommended point of reference for this release. The information found online at http://wiki.winamp.com/wiki/SHOUTcast_Broadcaster for the DNAS server only relates to the previous v2.0 (build 29) release.


Reporting Issues

If you do come across an issue with the DNAS v2, then please do post in this thread with as much information as possible about what you're doing at the time, the system you are using and anything else which will make it easier to understand what is or isn't going on with your install.

Posts relating to authhash management issues will be ignored as this is not the thread for posting such issues.


Known Issues

The following are known issues with the v2 DNAS raised in previous releases but not currently fixed / fully confirmed as needing to be fixed (i.e. intended behaviour):

1. The configuration builder has not been fully updated for this release i.e. not all new options are available. This will be resolved in the expected 0.0.1 release to come in the next 2 weeks (subject to change) and does not affect most configuration aspects if this mode is used.
2. This release is as v1 DNAS compatible as has been able to do from testing / v2 requirements. If there is an obvious v1 DNAS feature / response which the v2.2 DNAS does not provide then please report along with full steps to replicate, etc.
3. Under sustained high numbers (1000's) of concurrent client connections, the DNAS server may in rare scenarios crash / segfault. This is primarily due to the networking methods currently used not scaling as well to the 1000s of concurrent client connections as desired compared to the need for more portable code between the platform builds. This requires completion of a networking stack re-write (no eta) and should not generally happen under most expected usage (most stations never break a few 100 concurrent listeners let alone 1000s at the same time).

Additional Information

Windows versions of the DNAS v2 are built with a dependency against the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package. If sc_serv is unable to start due to a dependency issue then you will need to install the correct version of the package so it can run which depends on the version of sc_serv you are attempting to run:
