Josh Coalson34cc68f2006-12-22 02:53:20 +0000[diff] [blame]52 This is an informal changelog, a summary of changes in each release. (See also <a href="documentation_bugs.html">known bugs</a>.) Particulary important for developers is the precise description of changes to the library interfaces. See also the <a href="api/group__porting.html">porting guide</a> for specific instructions on porting to newer versions of FLAC.<br />

Josh Coalson8da98c82006-10-15 04:24:05 +0000[diff] [blame]242 <li>In the developer libraries, the interface has been simplfied by merging the three decoding layers into a single class; ditto for the encoders. Also, libOggFLAC has been merged into libFLAC and libOggFLAC++ has been merged into libFLAC++ so there is a single API supporting both native FLAC and Ogg FLAC.</li>

454 libraries:
455 <ul>
456 <li>libFLAC: Sped up Rice block decoding in the bitbuffer, resulting in decoding speed gains of a few percent.</li>
457 <li>libFLAC: Sped up encoding when not using LPC (i.e. <span class="code">max_lpc_order == 0</span>).</li>
458 <li>libFLAC: Trailing NUL characters maintained on Vorbis comment entries so they can be treated like C strings.</li>
459 <li>libFLAC: More FLAC tag (i.e. Vorbis comment) validation.</li>
460 <li>libFLAC: Fixed a bug in the logic that determines the frame or sample number in a frame header; the bug could cause sync errors with some ID3v1-tagged FLAC files.</li>
461 <li>libFLAC, libOggFLAC: Can now be compiled to use only integer instructions, including encoding. The decoder is almost completely integer anyway but there were a couple places that needed a fixed-point replacement. There is no fixed-point version of LPC analysis yet, so if libFLAC is compiled integer-only, the encoder will behave as if the max LPC order is 0 (i.e. used fixed predictors only). LPC decoding is supported in all cases as it always was integer-only.</li>

521 <ul>
522 <li>
523 General:
524 <ul>
525 <li>Ogg FLAC seeking now works</li>
526 <li>New optimizations almost double the decoding speed on PowerPC (e.g. Mac G4/G5)</li>
527 <li>A native OS X release thanks to updated Project Builder and autotools files</li>
528 </ul>
529 </li>
530 <li>
531 FLAC format:
532 <ul>
533 <li>Made invalid the metadata block type 127 so that audio frames can always be distinguished from metadata by seeing 0xff as the first byte. (This was also required for the Ogg FLAC mapping.)</li>
534 </ul>
535 </li>
536 <li>
537 Ogg FLAC format:
538 <ul>
Josh Coalson34cc68f2006-12-22 02:53:20 +0000[diff] [blame]539 <li>First official FLAC-&gt;Ogg bitstream mapping standardized (see new <a href="ogg_mapping.html">FLAC-to-Ogg mapping specification</a>). See the documentation for the <span class="argument"><a href="documentation_tools_flac.html#flac_options_ogg">--ogg</a></span> switch about having to re-encode older Ogg FLAC files.</li>

542 <li>
543 flac:
544 <ul>

Josh Coalson34cc68f2006-12-22 02:53:20 +0000[diff] [blame]546 <li>New option <span class="argument"><a href="documentation_tools_flac.html#flac_options_force">-f</a></span> (<span class="argument"><a href="documentation_tools_flac.html#flac_options_force">--force</a></span>) to force overwriting if the output file already exists.</li>

Josh Coalson950e3ca2005-02-09 03:37:59 +0000[diff] [blame]549 <li>New (but undocumented) option <span class="argument">--apply-replaygain-which-is-not-lossless</span> which applies ReplayGain to the decoded output. See <a href="http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=17293&amp;st=11">this thread</a> for usage and caveats.</li>
550 <li>When encoding to Ogg FLAC, use a random serial number (instead of 0 as was done before) when a serial number is not specified.</li>
551 <li>When encoding multiple Ogg FLAC streams, <span class="argument">--serial-number</span> or random serial number sets the first number, which is then incremented for subsequent streams (before, the same serial number was used for all streams).</li>
552 <li>Decoder no longer exits with an error when writing to stdout and the pipe is broken.</li>
553 <li>Better explanation of common error messages.</li>
554 <li>Default extension when writing AIFF files is .aif (before, it was .aiff).</li>
555 <li>Write more common representation of SANE numbers in AIFF files.</li>
556 <li>Bug fix: calculating ReplayGain on 48kHz streams.</li>
557 <li>Bug fix: check for supported block alignments in WAVE files.</li>
558 <li>Bug fix: "offset" field in AIFF SSND chunk properly handled.</li>
