[xiph] Icecast 2.0 Beta 1 Announcement

[oddsock]

This message is to announce that the Icecast project is now finally moving 
to a 2.0 release.  After way too much time in an alpha state, we've decided 
to start the (hopefully) short trek to a 2.0 release.

We need the help of any and all users in testing this version of 
icecast.  You should not be suprised by Beta 1, as it contains all the same 
functionality that is currently in CVS.  We are now in a feature freeze for 
2.0 and no new features will be added.  All users are encouraged to 
thoroughly test on as many platforms as is possible.

Please send all Bug reports to the icecast-dev mailing list.

We expect to run this beta program for a few weeks, depending on the 
results, and have a fresh Icecast 2.0 release by the end of the year 
(possibly sooner).  We also have a few new features on tap 
(http://wiki.xiph.org/Icecast2ReleasePlan) and plan to follow up the 2.0 
release with a quick 2.1 release with the new functionality.
