Dependencies

This release implements rundown support (managed by new service module Rundown Broker) with fade curves (“route levels”).

A basic version of usage reporting is available now.

Mpeg Audio Layer III (mp3) as recording format is supported for custom templates.

Some less severe issues were fixed.

Implement "routelevels" REST API
Implement "usage" API
Improved log message in case a relayed subscription isn't accepted by target host (usually this occurs with hosts of an older version)
Consider alias, but also jobId passed to REST interfaces markers, metadata, outputswitch, rundown
Handle two jobs with same alias (not recommended, but now it always refers to the first created job with same alias)
api/jobs: Removed unused query syntax "alias" (without value) to reinterpret a jobId parameter as alias
Query filter expressions now support condition terms also in lowercase ("and", "or", "not")
API access to service log files
Update own hostinfo to non-running when windows system enters sleep mode and wakes up again, so others know if it's available (works only as real service)

Defective schedule prevents other schedules working
Service started altough setting “hostInfo.IsDisabled=false”
An active schedule referring to deleted template could block other schedules to be executed
api/templates?count didn't respond with { "count": xx"}; fix applies only if nLimit!=1000 to be compatible with older Admin client
api/jobs option "LogInfoCount" was not functional

Implement a simple way to create MP3 files
Extended interface to “Rundown Player” filter for transmission of metadata of currently playing item
Implement "RouteLevels" messages and notifications
Enable transmission of arbitrary item metadata to/from “Rundown Player” filter
Metadata updates originating from a “Rundown Player” are suppressed, when no non-silent routes using that player as input exist
Support for "Skipped" state in rundown notifications
Implement filter settings change API for VST3 filter
Pass "DpeToken" option to DpeWriter filter

Suppress metadata updates from Rundown Player, if the rundown is "silent"
Improved signal clipping behavior, when floating-point input is over unity
Start delay didn't work correctly, when the input audio has more than one channel
