Version 2.11 Change Log

Release Date: 
12th January 2011
Version Number: 
Version 2.11

This is quite a large release, with a lot of enhancements and a couple of bug fixes.

It combines two versions, 2.10 and the current 2.11.

Features to take note of are the Distributed File Storage (DFS) systems, SHOUTcast streaming, and iOS streaming.

With Distributed File System, operators can delegate a single Edge server to be used as a distributed file repository. This acts like a holding point for file and media distribution via the HTTP Push method.

SHOUTcast streaming and iOS streaming capabilities (for Apple devices) have been introduced.

Publishers can also secure resources on the CDN by having a unique hash appended on the resource's direct URL. A generator is made available by placing the mouse over a CDN site name in the CDN site list, and clicking "Generate hash link", if this option was enabled when the site was added.

Enhancement Highlights: 
  • Combination of options to add Edge servers with HTTP Push and/or Pull capability, combined with VOD and/or live streaming.
  • A choice of external or internal publishing point while adding live streaming media. Internal publishing points are determined by the Operator, and external publishing points are custom publishing points from the publisher.
  • Ability to add SHOUTcast media streams now.
  • cPanel integration module update. More information here.
  • URL signing.

Version 2.9 Change Log

Version 2.90

The new enhancements in this release were based more upon the feedback of the customers.

Publishers can now password protect their CDN sites with one or more user names and passwords and also restrict geographical areas where the CDN will serve. This enables localized content served via CDN.

Operators are also able to control traffic around their CDN by using the traffic policy feature, with its specialized code that is easy enough to write and be understood by systems administrators. For more information about this code, refer to the Traffic Policy document.

Streaming services for the iOS platform, that powers the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad devices, will be released in the next version 2.10!

Enhancement Highlights: 
  • Raw HTTP server log delivery -- Based on customer feedback, we have enhanced this facility to deliver the raw server logs towards a syslog server.

  • Streaming geographical blocking -- Streaming servers can now be restricted to certain countries.

  • Streaming installation log feedback -- The streaming servers now log their installation that can be sent to and recognized by syslog capable servers for support purposes or as a quality audit trail.

  • Combined HTTP and streaming transfer limit -- As can be seen in the corresponding screenshot above, there is no more separate field to fill out, as the streaming transfer limit follows the limit set for HTTP data transfers. They are now united!
