With the release of Icecast 2.5.0 the era of 2.4.x is slowly fading.
Today we would like announce that the last support for Icecast 2.4.4 will end on 2026-12-31, a bit more than eight years after its release. As of this writing only security fixes are accepted.
Icecast 2.5.x will continue to read Icecast 2.4.x configuration files, so upgrades should be seamless. Our new series of Icecast also provides useful hints to ease any upgrade. Naturally we suggest to consider them.
