Vorbis dev - Sep 2004 - Re: libvorbis 1.1.0 release

Everyone,

I'm pleased to announce the release of libvorbis version 1.1.0. This 
is the first major release since 1.0 and offers new encoder tunings 
for additional compression efficiency as well as a number of bugs fixes.

Developers will be interested in the new 'CBR' mode support and 
encoder_ctl() interface.

So does this mean that us users will need to wait till there are new 
releases of vorbis-tools, icecast, etc. before we can get access to the new 
features?  Obviously the new tunings will work automatically...I think.

So we have API additions--why weren't the library versions incremented?
