Nullsoft Prepares Shoutcast Beta

Nullsoft is set to release a beta of Shoutcast 1.3 next week, with a final release set for the 20th. According to Shoutcast head honcho Tom Pepper, "What's really significant about 1.3 is a whole new model of how streams and threads are managed. It's about 10 times as stable as it was before." A Y2K bug has also been corrected within the admin section. Depending on how the beta performs, a new feature or two may slip into 1.3 before final release.
