version 4 - what's happening?

Due to some family health issues over the last month or so, development on v4 has been almost non-existent. Rest assured I am still committed to making this next major release of edcast. It's just going to take a little while longer than I anticipated.

The Edcast story - short version

Edcast (aka Oddcast) was probably the best alternative to shoutcast's own DSP for sourcing shoutcast DNAS - in fact, many would argue it was superior in many ways. For example, it can also source Icecast natively, not in dumbed down shoutcast emulation mode.

A year ago, or more, I can't recall, "oddsock" shut down, due to undisclosed issues.

A year before that, however, I'd already tinkered with the code, adding an ASIO version. Primarily for my own, unusual, set up. When oddsock shut down, I decided to step up and continue his work, hopefully improving on it. See Features for some of the things added/fixed so far.

Latest BETA available in downloads

For MP3 encoding, please DO NOT use lame encoder modified to work with an INI file, UNLESS YOU CREATE THE INI FILE AS INSTRUCTED IN THE DOWNLOAD I don't recommend doing this, as there is no guarantee edcast will work properly, and it definitely wont support multiple MP3 streams this way

Added Changelog - for those interested.
