⬆️ Upgrading​

New general.secret_key configuration​

This release adds the general.secret_key configuration field in the configuration file, to prevent reusing the general.api_key for cryptographic usage. If the field is missing, it will fallback to the previous behavior, use the general.api_key and print a warning.

To silence the warning about the missing field, make sure to add the general.secret_key field to your configuration file. The field will be required on the next major release.

Icecast mount default charset​

During the first installation, the installer will configure Icecast to use UTF-8 as default charset for mounts. To upgrade an existing installation, you may want to manually apply the changes in the /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml:

    <mount type="default">
        <charset>UTF-8</charset>
    </mount>

Or if only want to set the charset to UTF-8 for specific mounts (for example /main.mp3):

    <mount type="normal">
        <mount-name>/main.mp3</mount-name>
        <charset>UTF-8</charset>
    </mount>

Please, see the documentation for more details.

Unused packages and dependencies​

Starting with this release, LibreTime installs gunicorn, uvicorn and pika from PyPi. This renders some previously installed distribution packages useless. You can remove them from your system using the following command:

sudo apt remove gunicorn python3-gunicorn python3-httptools python3-uvicorn python3-uvloop python3-pika

In addition, LibreTime now install its dependencies in a python virtual environment. This renders the python packages that LibreTime installed globally useless. There is no clean way to remove those python packages, because there is no safe way to know if other tools depend on them. If you are experienced enough with CLI and system administration, you may prune the entire /usr/local/lib/python3.*/dist-packages/ directory, but do this at your own risk. Those globally installed python packages may stay on the system, they shouldn't break LibreTime.
