FLAC 1.2.0 is out. There are a few new features and some speedups and fixes, but more importantly, there are some small changes to the decoder to pave the way for possible future compression improvements, so applications developers are encouraged to upgrade (the API has not changed). The changelog has all the details, but in summary: - automatic SSE OS detection at runtime (so no need to specifically enable SSE at compile time) - small encoder and decoder speedups - new --ignore-chunk-sizes option in flac will help with fb2k piped encoding to flac.exe http://flac.sourceforge.net/changelog.html#flac_1_2_0 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13478 MD5: dbbb7d40fcaeef684afea5165a1c974b flac-1.2.0-devel-win.zip 7b07ac65b8c8530ad56c9930913a3d62 flac-1.2.0-linux-i386.tar.gz cec82a7a173f593ede022eb61a3114a6 flac-1.2.0-win.zip ea176bfb291707b46a537b091c226ae7 flac-1.2.0.tar.gz 42958e8d508a13a56b517acf35a377a4 flac-1.2.0a.exe SHA1: b712611a2902a5a165a1ef205a7b3ebe9695b560 flac-1.0.2-src.tar.gz c2f211f736acefb745100891256e3a764cd848d5 flac-1.2.0-devel-win.zip ae3cf142d27fdd7a45745b0d08d6ed7105b92d6a flac-1.2.0-linux-i386.tar.gz dafcde7b2b44096090c3284c3e772aa74cad4a0c flac-1.2.0-win.zip 019f50a71a755b2d4247cae8f9fb2264de61916d flac-1.2.0.tar.gz 40b1813b3926a3dc311d7f635ccb2a276fd8adc7 flac-1.2.0a.exe ____________________________________________________________________________________Ready for the edge of your seat?

Is this new version already stable or still a testing version?

Pleas learn how to snip uneeded text from your posts. Version 1.2.0 is a stable release, which had some earlier beta revisions. I'd say it was quite well tested. Furthermore, there's no upgrade risk, as the API is still compatible. FLAC is backwards and forwards compatible. -Ivo
