flac dev - Jun 2013 - FLAC 1.3.0 released

There are several links to Windows compiles in the Hydrogenaudio thread 
for FLAC 1.3.0 at 
http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=101082 .

On Unices or Linuxes building from git should be straightforward enough, 
or you wait until the distributions/package maintainers catch up.


Also, congratulations to the whole development team for reinvigorating FLAC!

Fedora, Gentoo and Arch Linux already have 1.3.0. For Debian (and its  
derivatives, most notably Ubuntu), Fabian Greffrath has made a 1.3.0  
package, but it is currently waiting for an upload sponsor.

The changelog mentions 192kHz support for replay gain in metaflac, but metaflac
--help has the old description for --add-replay-gain with 48kHz max bit rate.

I also thought that the old restriction, where files processed had to have the
same bit rate, was removed?

flac.exe, but not for metaflac. Was it changed in one and not the other??

I really do not know. The discussion on metaflac and support for replay gain for
higher sample rates was back in February/March 2012
