Starting August 17 broadcasters will be able to upgrade their stations to the all-new SHOUTcast 2.0 infrastructure. In order to do so, broadcasters will need to sign up for Authorization Hash Keys that they will need to plug into their SHOUTcast servers' config files. The Auth Hash generation scripts will go live on SHOUTcast.com starting August 17 2010.
The goal of SC_SERV2 is to provide enhanced serving features and access to the new yp2 infrastructure
while maintaining as much backward compatibility with the previous sc_serv as possible.

Release Notes:
1) Serve multiple streams from a single server instance
2) Relay multiple streams from a single server instance
3) Multiplex all server activity through a single IP port.
4) Shoutcast 2 wire protocol support for sources, relays and clients
5) Repackaging of Shoutcast 1 and Shoutcast 2 data as appropriate for the connecting client(s)
6) yp2 infrastructure support
To take advantage of these new features you will also need the following:
1) sc_trans version V2 B38 or higher:

2) authorization hashes (register as a broadcaster in the new infrastructure and you will be issued the necessary hashes) - COMING AUGUST 17 2010!
sc_serv must be configured to use the yp2 infrastructure to take advantage of the multiplexing and multiple stream support. The original yp interface had no means of
expressing multiple streams from a single port.
The yp2 interface is still in development and will be released soon! Stay tuned for updates.
If you are going to connect multiple sc_trans instances to sc_serv, you must use the Shoutcast2 protocol.
The original Shoutcast protocol had no means of specifying a stream ID. Clients connecting to the
server do not need Shoutcast2 support, since sc_serv will repackage the stream data and metadata for them as appropriate.
