With all the talk over whether or not Shoutcast and Winamp will be going offline on 20th December and the rumors of a possible acquisition buyout from AOL by Microsoft. A new build of Shoutcast DNAS v2 has just been released. Interestingly the developer’s release notes mention his ongoing effort to rewrite the network stack which has issues handling large amounts of traffic and may segfault or crash as a result. Which I find encouraging news considering the circumstances.
