- Make the Analytics table in the database the primary one for handling statistics for all stations, removing the InfluxDB dependency entirely
- Expand the Analytics table to also track unique listeners per hour and day
- Properly clean up the Listeners table according to each installation's history retention settings
- Implement a cute new animated "waiting for services" startup message that avoids previous wait messages that looked more like errors
Some functionality of AzuraCast has always been intended for "Power Users", but seemingly no amount of warnings or labels will prevent users from discovering these features, misusing them, and either burdening our support channels or declaring AzuraCast to be "broken". With this update, new installations have some of these most dangerous settings (manual port assignments, manual directory selection, custom LS/Icecast config, etc.) disabled. They can easily be re-enabled by editing "azuracast.env" and turning them on, and will remain available for all previous users by default.
