    +
  • + FLAC 1.0.5 released  I didn't get everything in that I wanted, but it's high time for a release. Here's what's new (see the latest documentation for more): +

    + General: +

      +
    • All code is now Valgrind-clean!
      • +
    • New CUESHEET metadata block for storing CD TOC and index point information. Now a CD can be completely backed up to a single FLAC file for archival.
      • +
    • ReplayGain support.
      • +
    • Better compression of 24-bit files.
      • +
    • More complete AIFF support.
      • +
    • 3DNow! optimizations enabled by default.
      • +
    • Complete MSVC build system with .dsp projects for everything, which can build both static libs and DLLs, and in debug or release mode, all in the same source tree.
      • +
    +

    + flac: +

      +
    • Can now decode FLAC to AIFF; new --force-aiff-format option.
      • +
    • New --cuesheet option for reading and storing a cuesheet when encoding a whole CD. Automatically creates seek points for track and index points unless --no-cued-seekpoints is used.
      • +
    • New --replay-gain option for calculating ReplayGain values and storing them as tags.
      • +
    • New --until option complements --skip to stop decoding at a specified point in the stream.
      • +
    • --skip and --until now also accept mm:ss.ss format.
      • +
    • New -S #s flavor to specify seekpoints every '#' number of seconds.
      • +
    • flac now defaults to -S 10s instead of -S 100x for the seek table.
      • +
    • flac now adds a 4k PADDING block by default (turn off with --no-padding).
      • +
    • Fixed a bug with --skip and AIFF-to-FLAC encoding.
      • +
    • Fixed a bug where decoding a FLAC file whose total_samples==0 in the STREAMINFO would corrupt the WAVE header.
      • +
    +

    + metaflac: +

      +
    • New --import-cuesheet-from option for reading and storing a cuesheet to a FLAC-encoded CD. Automatically creates seek points for track and index points unless --no-cued-seekpoints is used.
      • +
    • New --export-cuesheet-to option for writing a cuesheet from a FLAC file for use with CD authoring software.
      • +
    • New --add-replay-gain option for calculating ReplayGain values and storing them as tags.
      • +
    • New --add-seekpoint option to add seekpoints to an existing FLAC file. Includes new --add-seekpoint=#s flavor to add seekpoints every '#' number of seconds.
      • +
    +

    + XMMS plugin: +

      +
    • ReplayGain support with customizable noise shaping, pre-amp, and optional hard limiter.
      • +
    • New Vorbis comment editor.
      • +
    • File info now works.
      • +
    • Bitrate now shows the smoothed instantaneous bitrate.
      • +
    • Uses the ARTIST tag if there is no PERFORMER tag.
      • +
    +

    + Libraries (developers take note!): +

      +
    • All code and tests are instrumented for Valgrind. All tests run Valgrind-clean, meaning no memory leaks or buffer over/under-runs.
      • +
    • Separate 64-bit datapath through the filter in libFLAC for better compression of >16 bps files.
      • +
    • FLAC__metadata_object_new(FLAC__METADATA_TYPE_VORBIS_COMMENT) now sets the vendor string.
      • +
    • The documentation on the usage of FLAC::Iterator::get_block() in libFLAC++ has an important correction. If you use this class make sure to read this.
      • +
    +
