AzuraCast

Our brand new feature-packed version of AzuraCast, 0.24.0, is now live on our Stable release channel. It includes features like grouped playlists (clockwheels) and a self-contained listener map, plus lots of technical and security fixes (including the ones from earlier this week). Check it out!

We have released new versions of both our Rolling Release (2026-10-21) and Stable channels (0.23.9) that patch critical security vulnerabilities in PHP. ALL users of AzuraCast are urged to update as soon as possible. See our update instructions below if you're unfamiliar with the process.

We are aware of a change CartoDB has made to its free tile service to require an API key. We've fixed this in our Rolling Release by moving to self-hosted vector map tiles. Once the other features in our current Rolling Release are tested and verified, we will include it in the next Stable release.

New in the Rolling Release: Grouped/Nested Playlists! A much-requested feature, you can create playlists that are made up of other playlists, with custom rules for each one's playback order. This lets you create complex playback rules and "Clockwheels". See full details in our changelog below!

AzuraCast 0.23.6 is now available on our Stable release channel. It incorporates a number of security fixes that have been reported to us recently, mostly affecting permissions for already-logged-in users. Updating is strongly recommended for all installations. See the full details in our changelog:

AzuraCast 0.23.5 is available on our Stable release channel. It focuses on routine dependency upgrades and bug fixes, including an updated version of Liquidsoap (2.4.4) that fixes several bugs identified in the earlier version we have been running. Updating is recommended for all users.

As the open-source ecosystem changes, we want to be clear: AzuraCast is 100% human-coded. We do not use AI assistants to produce code for us, nor do we accept pull requests written by them. Our application is the product of years of hard work, not "vibe coding", and we intend to keep it that way.

AzuraCast 0.23.4 is now available on the stable release channel, including some new features, quality-of-life fixes, and substantial improvements to the security around Liquidsoap's custom scripting, especially as it applies to multi-tenant installations. See our changelog for more information.

The open source community lost an important member recently. Robert Kaye, aka mayhem, was the founder, inspirator and motivator of MusicBrainz. We published a short memorial to him on our blog. mixxx.org/news/2026-02...

AzuraCast version 0.23.3 is now available on our Stable release channel. Along with some minor but important bug fixes, this release also patches a security vulnerability that was recently reported to us that specifically affects multi-tenant installations (i.e. resellers). Updating is recommended.

Calling all radio DJs! Though Mixxx was not originally designed for radio, there are a lot of you out there and we want to make Mixxx better. We have a project to improve Fader Start support, but we need your help! Please help us better understand your needs: mixxx.discourse.group/t/looking-fo...

AzuraCast 0.23.2 is now available on our Stable channel. Along with several quality-of-life tweaks and bug fixes, it includes an important fix for a minor security issue affecting SFTP users. If you use SFTP to manage your station's media, updating is strongly recommended.

AzuraCast 0.22 is now available on our stable release channel! Incorporating over 200 commits of new features, bug fixes, quality of life improvements and more, we recommend updating! See the full changelog here: github.com/AzuraCast/Az...

New in the Rolling Release: Support for Rocket Streaming Audio Server (RSAS), a high-performance commercial drop-in replacement for Icecast. We don't ship the binaries with our instances, but you can upload them (and the license key) via the Admin panel, then use it on any station.

Minor update for Fediverse users: We've migrated our Mastodon account to a new server: floss.social/@azuracast Future updates will be posted there, here on Bluesky, and on our Discord's announcements channel.

New in the Rolling Release: we now support using Rocket Streaming Audio Server (RSAS) as your broadcasting frontend. RSAS is proprietary software, so you have to upload it yourself via the Administration panel, but once installed, it's largely a drop-in replacement for Icecast with high performance.

New in the Rolling Release: Post to Bluesky! We've added Bluesky web hook support to the latest version of AzuraCast. All you need is a handle and an "app password" (easily generated from the settings page). Hashtags, mentions and URLs are all supported as part of posts.

We've released AzuraCast 0.20.4 to our stable release channel. We had several reports of issues with the AutoDJ scheduler and have reverted it to the previous version. All other bug fixes and improvements from 0.20.3 are still in place.

AzuraCast 0.19.2 is now available on our Stable release channel! Many bug fixes are included, as well as an upgrade to Liquidsoap 2.2.2 and support for the latest versions of StereoTool modules. View the full changelog here: github.com/AzuraCast/Az...
