[Icecast] Icecast2 and SSL certificate renewal

[Damian]

Hi Philipp,

Thanks for your reply. For now I will continue with 2.4.4 and just do things manually, with an eye to using a more automated process when I move over to version 2.5.
I realise that it is generally not recommended, but can you tell me whether you think version 2.5 is generally stable enough to use for production at this stage? 
Also, is it recommended that we also follow the LinkedIn page at https://www.linkedin.com/company/loewenfelsen/ <https://www.linkedin.com/company/loewenfelsen/> for important info about Icecast development?
