## Fixes
- HTTP PUT now supports chunked encoding
- HTTP PUT with `Expect: 100-Continue` now sends the `200` status as
expected
  at the end of transmission, not right after the `100`
- Fix login problems for admin user, if default mount had auth defined
- Fix that in some cases stats JSON would be malformed
- Fix that the JSON exposed listener details if queried with a specific
mountpoint
- Fix segfault on some bad opus streams
- Fix segfaults due to empty strings in config
- Fix fetching of streamlist (for relaying) from HTTP/1.1 servers
- Fix information disclosure CVE that allowed to view the source
  of a xsl file by appending a `.` to it, when using Icecast on Windows
  (https://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/icecast-server/issues/2248)


## Known issues

- YP and m3u playlists do not use the `https` scheme for URLs when using TLS
