This maintenance release contains a couple of major bugfixes, including fixes for some regressions in 1.0.6. This is a recommended update for all users:

  • Bugfix: Fixed sources getting stuck on a mount in certain situations (1.0.6 regression)
  • Bugfix: Fixed seamless takeover (source kick), where the new source connection would get closed too (1.0.6 regression).
  • Bugfix: Fixed empty HLS segments with low bitrates
  • Bugfix: Fixed static binary installer bugs

ARM64 and Raspberry Pi 3/4/5+ support

We've continued working on ARM support and are pleased to announce a 64-bit ARM build is now available, which should be compatible with Raspberry Pi 3, 4, and 5. This build has been tested on Ampere Altra cloud-based servers. This build requires an ARMv8 CPU and requires a Linux distribution with glibc 2.28 or newer (Raspberry Pi OS 2020-12-02+, Debian 10+, Ubuntu 18.10+). It should be compatible with other ARM devices that meet these requirements, including other cloud-based ARM servers.
