Josh Coalson71ed9692004-07-23 05:08:01 +0000[diff] [blame]56 This is an informal changelog, a summary of changes in each release. Particulary important for developers is the precise description of changes to the library interfaces.

180 General:
181 <ul>
182 <li>Sped up decoding by a few percent overall.</li>
183 <li>Sped up encoding when not using LPC (i.e. when using <span class="commandname">flac</span> options <span class="argument">-0</span>, <span class="argument">-1</span>, <span class="argument">-2</span>, or <span class="argument">-l 0</span>).</li>
184 <li>Fixed a decoding bug that could cause sync errors with some ID3v1-tagged FLAC files.</li>
185 <li>Added <a href="documentation.html#metaflac">HTML documentation for metaflac</a>.</li>

215 <li>Added support for HTTP streaming in XMMS plugin. <b>NOTE</b>: there is a <a href="http://bugs.xmms.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2038">bug</a> in the XMMS mpg123 plugin that hijacks FLAC streams; to fix it you will need to add the '.flac' extension to the list of exceptions in <span class="code">Input/mpg123/mpg123.c:is_our_file()</span> in the XMMS sources and recompile.</li>

224 <li>
225 libraries:
226 <ul>
227 <li>libFLAC: Sped up Rice block decoding in the bitbuffer, resulting in decoding speed gains of a few percent.</li>
228 <li>libFLAC: Sped up encoding when not using LPC (i.e. <span class="code">max_lpc_order == 0</span>).</li>
229 <li>libFLAC: Trailing NUL characters maintained on Vorbis comment entries so they can be treated like C strings.</li>
230 <li>libFLAC: More FLAC tag (i.e. Vorbis comment) validation.</li>
231 <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>
232 <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>

292 <ul>
293 <li>
294 General:
295 <ul>
296 <li>Ogg FLAC seeking now works</li>
297 <li>New optimizations almost double the decoding speed on PowerPC (e.g. Mac G4/G5)</li>
298 <li>A native OS X release thanks to updated Project Builder and autotools files</li>
299 </ul>
300 </li>
301 <li>
302 FLAC format:
303 <ul>
304 <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>
305 </ul>
306 </li>
307 <li>
308 Ogg FLAC format:
309 <ul>
310 <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 <a href="documentation.html#flac_options_ogg"><span class="argument">--ogg</span></a> switch about having to re-encode older Ogg FLAC files.</li>
311 </ul>
312 </li>
313 <li>
314 flac:
315 <ul>
316 <li>Print an error when output file already exists instead of automatically overwriting.</li>
317 <li>New option <a href="documentation.html#flac_options_force"><span class="argument">-f</span> (<span class="argument">--force</span>)</a> to force overwriting if the output file already exists.</li>
318 <li>New option <a href="documentation.html#flac_options_cue"><span class="argument">--cue</span></a> to select a specific section to decode using cuesheet track/index points.</li>
319 <li>New option <a href="documentation.html#flac_options_totally_silent"><span class="argument">--totally-silent</span></a> to suppress all output.</li>
320 <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>
321 <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>
322 <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>
323 <li>Decoder no longer exits with an error when writing to stdout and the pipe is broken.</li>
324 <li>Better explanation of common error messages.</li>
325 <li>Default extension when writing AIFF files is .aif (before, it was .aiff).</li>
326 <li>Write more common representation of SANE numbers in AIFF files.</li>
327 <li>Bug fix: calculating ReplayGain on 48kHz streams.</li>
328 <li>Bug fix: check for supported block alignments in WAVE files.</li>
329 <li>Bug fix: "offset" field in AIFF SSND chunk properly handled.</li>
330 <li>Bug fix: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&amp;aid=679166&amp;group_id=13478&amp;atid=113478">#679166</a>: flac doesn't respect RIFF subchunk padding byte.</li>
331 <li>Bug fix: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&amp;aid=828391&amp;group_id=13478&amp;atid=113478">#828391</a>: --add-replay-gain segfaults.</li>
332 <li>Bug fix: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&amp;aid=851155&amp;group_id=13478&amp;atid=113478">#851155</a>: Can't seek to position in flac file.</li>

334 <li>Bug fix: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&amp;aid=877122&amp;group_id=13478&amp;atid=113478">#877122</a>: problem parsing cuesheet with CATALOG entry.</li>
335 <li>Bug fix: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&amp;aid=896057&amp;group_id=13478&amp;atid=113478">#896057</a>: parsing ISRC number from cuesheet.</li>
336 </ul>
337 </li>
338 <li>
339 metaflac:
340 <ul>
341 <li>Renamed the tag editing options as follows (the <span class="argument">...-vc-...</span> options still work but are deprecated):
342 <ul>
343 <li><span class="argument">--show-vc-vendor</span> becomes <span class="argument">--show-vendor-tag</span></li>
344 <li><span class="argument">--show-vc-field</span> becomes <span class="argument">--show-tag</span></li>
345 <li><span class="argument">--remove-vc-all</span> becomes <span class="argument">--remove-all-tags</span></li>
346 <li><span class="argument">--remove-vc-field</span> becomes <span class="argument">--remove-tag</span></li>
347 <li><span class="argument">--remove-vc-firstfield</span> becomes <span class="argument">--remove-first-tag</span></li>
348 <li><span class="argument">--set-vc-field</span> becomes <span class="argument">--set-tag</span></li>
349 <li><span class="argument">--import-vc-from</span> becomes <span class="argument">--import-tags-from</span></li>
350 <li><span class="argument">--export-vc-to</span> becomes <span class="argument">--export-tags-to</span></li>
351 </ul>
352 </li>
353 <li>Better explanation of common error messages.</li>

367 <li>Bug fix: small memory leak in XMMS plugin.</li>
368 </ul>
369 </li>
