| 82 | 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. |

| 90 | <LI> |
| 91 | General: |
| 92 | <UL> |
| 93 | <LI>Ogg FLAC seeking now works</LI> |
| 94 | </UL> |
| 95 | </LI> |
| 96 | <LI> |
| 97 | FLAC format: |
| 98 | <UL> |
| 99 | <LI>Make invalid the metadata block type 127 so that audio frames can always be distinguished from metadata by seeing 0xff as the first byte.</LI> |
| 100 | </UL> |
| 101 | </LI> |
| 102 | <LI> |
| 103 | flac: |
| 104 | <UL> |
| 105 | <LI>Print an error when output file already exists instead of automatically overwriting.</LI> |
| 106 | <LI>New option <A HREF="documentation.html#flac_options_force"><TT>-f</TT> (<TT>--force</TT>)</A> to force overwriting if the output file already exists.</LI> |
| 107 | <LI>New option <A HREF="documentation.html#flac_options_cue"><TT>--cue</TT></A> to select a specific section to decode using cuesheet track/index points.</LI> |
| 108 | <LI>New option <A HREF="documentation.html#flac_options_totally_silent"><TT>--totally-silent</TT></A> to suppress all output.</LI> |
| 109 | <LI>New (but undocumented) option <TT>--apply-replaygain-which-is-not-lossless</TT> which applies ReplayGain to the decoded output. See <A HREF="http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=17293&st=11">this thread</A> for usage and caveats.</LI> |
| 110 | <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> |
| 111 | <LI>When encoding multiple Ogg FLAC streams, <TT>--serial-number</TT> 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> |
| 112 | <LI>Decoder no longer exits with an error when writing to stdout and the pipe is broken.</LI> |
| 113 | <LI>Better explanation of common error messages.</LI> |
| 114 | <LI>Default extension when writing AIFF files is .aif (before, it was .aiff).</LI> |
| 115 | <LI>Write more common representation of SANE numbers in AIFF files.</LI> |
| 116 | <LI>Bug fix: calculating ReplayGain on 48kHz streams.</LI> |
| 117 | <LI>Bug fix: check for supported block alignments in WAVE files.</LI> |
| 118 | <LI>Bug fix: <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=679166&group_id=13478&atid=113478">#679166</A>: flac doesn't respect RIFF subchunk padding byte.</LI> |
