flac dev - Dec 2016 - Some additions for the 1.3.2 changelog?

Hi Erik,

I noticed you’ve started compiling the changelog for 1.3.2. I have kept track of
some of the bigger changes since 1.3.1 although admittedly haven’t been on top
of it this year. Perhaps some of these older ones are useful to consider
including:

Fixed a segmentation fault in libFLAC
http://sourceforge.net/p/flac/bugs/425/

Changed the LPC order guess for a slight compression improvement, particularly
for classical music
http://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commit;h=c97e057ee57d552a3ccad2d12e29b5969d04be97

Improved encoding speed on older Intel CPUs
https://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commitdiff;h=ac0b4b4cab42fdd5c010bac85bf4e63f49647e69

Fixed a seeking bug when decoding certain files
https://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commit;h=fed0dfa1086296df0af41ca8f0c6430d5ac75c87

Put an upper bound on the number of seek points

Write WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE to WAV files as needed

metaflac: add --scan-replay-gain option

Win32: Only use large buffers when writing to disk
https://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commit;h=f0ee453c23eacd1a10762b2301384ddc19821052

libFLAC: Fix potential memory leaks
https://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commit;h=15a9062609c123b56df104a575dba657c2577e0b

libFLAC: Support 64bit brword/bwword allowing FLAC__BYTES_PER_WORD to be set to
8. This is disabled by
default.

Thanks,
Maurits

It looks like this commit has a typo: "num = 32786;" should be
"num = 32768;".

I had sort of hoped I'd finished :). Seems I was wrong!

Wow, thanks for this. Really helpful to have someone else do something
I was dreading :).

A couple of these I already had and the rest I added. Latest version
pushed to git.

I suggest mentioning commit 1abd879 in the changelog too,
i.e. "Assume that all OSes that are usable today support SSE."
so that no one gets surprised.
