Hi. I'm preparing to start a major encoding project, about a TiB or so. Flac is one of the components I plan on using. As I've used it forever anyways and haven't seen a commit since January nor a release since 2007... Is there a general status of flac along with a roadmap available? Only one suggestion: sign the releases with OpenPGP. Thanks for flac! :)

My scripts save the input wav md5's/sha256's and run flac in pipe decode mode before nuking the wav's as a sanity check anyways. Only problem I ever had was that flac served as a pretty good bad ram detector :) I suppose I should put head through it's make test thing.
