Changelog for libFLAC12-1.4.3-lp155.2.2.x86_64.rpm :

* Wed Mar 06 2024 ecsos - Update to 1.4.3
* General - All PowerPC-specific code has been removed, as it turned out those improvements didn\'t actually improve anything - Large improvements in encoder speed for all presets. The largest change is for the fastest presets and for 24-bit and 32-bit inputs. - Small improvement in decoder speed for BMI2-capable CPUs - Various documentation fixes and cleanups (Mark Grassi, Jake Schmidt) - Various fixes (Ozkan Sezer, Zhipeng Xue, orbea, Sam James, Harish Mahendrakar) - Fix building on Universal Windows Platform (Dmitry Kostjučenko)
* flac - A lot of small fixes for bugs found by fuzzing + Various improvements to the --keep-foreign-metadata and --keep-foreign-metadata-if-present options on decoding - The output format (WAV/AIFF/RF64 etc.) is now automatically selected based on what kind of foreign metadata is stored - Decoded file is checked afterwards, to see whether stored foreign format data agrees with FLAC audio properties - AIFF-C sowt data can now be restored - Add --force-legacy-wave-format option, to decode to WAV with WAVEFORMATPCM where WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE would be more appropriate - Add --force-aiff-c-none-format and --force-aiff-c-sowt-format to decode to AIFF-C - The storage of WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK is no longer restricted to known channel orderings - Throw an error when WAV or AIFF files are over 4GiB in length and the --ignore-chunk-sizes option is not set - Warn on testing files when ID3v2 tags are found - Warn when data trails the audio data of a WAV/AIFF/RF64/W64 file - Fix output file not being deleted after error on Windows - Removal of the --sector--align option
* metaflac - A lot of small fixes for bugs found by fuzzing - Added options --append and --data-format, which makes it possible to copy metadata blocks from one FLAC file to another - Added option --remove-all-tags-except - Added option --show-all-tags (harridu, Martijn van Beurden)
* libFLAC - No longer write seektables to Ogg, even when specifically asked for. Seektables in Ogg are not defined - Add functions FLAC__metadata_object_set_raw and FLAC__metadata_object_get_raw to convert between blob and FLAC__StreamMetadata
* Build system + Autoconf (configure) - The option --enable-64-bit-words is now on by default + CMake - The option ENABLE_64_BIT_WORDS is now on by default
* Testing/validation - Fuzzers were added for the flac and metaflac command line tools - Fuzzer coverage was improved- Changes from to 1.4.2
* General - Remove xmms plugin (Martijn van Beurden, TokyoBlackHole) - Remove all pure assembler, removing build dependency on nasm - Made console output more uniform across different platforms and CPUs - Improve ability to tune compile for a certain system (for example with -march=native) when combining with --disable-asm-optimizations: plain C functions can now be better optimized
* Build system - Default CFLAGS are now prepended instead of dropped when user CFLAGS are set - -msse2 is no longer added by default (was only applicable to x86) - Fix cross-compiling and out-of-tree building when pandoc and doxygen are not available - Fix issue with Clang not compiling functions with intrinsics - Fix detection of bswap intrinsics (Ozkan Sezer) - Improve search for libssp on MinGW (Ozkan Sezer, Martijn van Beurden)
* libFLAC - Fix issue when the libFLAC user seeks in a file instead of libFLAC itself- Changes from to 1.4.1 - CMake fixes (Tomasz Kłoczko) - Add checks that man pages and api docs end up in tarball - Enable installation of prebuilt man pages and api docs - Fix compiler warnings (Johannes Kauffmann, Ozkan Sezer) - Fix format specifier (manxorist) - Enable building on Universal Windows Platform (Steve Lhomme) vFix versioning from git- Changes from to 1.4.0
* General: - It is now possible to limit the minimum bitrate of a FLAC file generated by libFLAC and with the flac tool to 1 bit/sample. This function can be used to aid live streaming, for example for internet radio - Encoding files with sample rates up to 1\'048\'575Hz is now possible. - Compression of preset -3 through -8 was slightly improved at the cost of a small decrease in encoding speed by increasing the precision with which autocorrelation was calculated - Encoding speed of preset -0, -1 and -2 was slightly improved - Compression of presets -1 and -4 was slighly improved on certain material by changing the adaptive mid-side heuristics - Speedups specifically targeting 64-bit ARMv8 devices using NEON were integrated - Speedups for x86_64 CPUs having the FMA instruction set extention are added - Encoding and decoding of 32-bit PCM is now possible
* (Ogg) FLAC format: - The FLAC format document is being rewritten by the IETF CELLAR working group. The latest draft can be found on https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-cellar-flac/ - The FLAC format document specifies no bounds for the residual. In other to match current decoder implementations, it is proposed to bound the residual to the range provided by a 32-bit int signed two\'s complement. This limit must be checked by FLAC encoders as to keep FLAC decoders free from the complexity of being to decode a residual exceeding a 32-bit int. - There is now a set of files available to test whether a FLAC decoder implements the format correctly. This FLAC decoder testbench can be found at https://github.com/ietf-wg-cellar/flac-test-files. Also, results of testing hard- and software can be found here at https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=FLAC_decoder_testbench.
* flac: - The option --limit-min-bitrate was added to aid streaming, see github #264 - The option --keep-foreign-metadata-if-present is added. This option works the same as --keep-foreign-metadata, but does return a warning instead of an error if no foreign metadata was found to store or restore - The warning returned by the foreign metadata handling is now clearer in case a user tries to restore foreign metadata of the wrong type, for example decoding a FLAC file containing AIFF foreign metadata to a WAV file - A problem when using the analyse function causing the first frame to have a wrong size and offset was fixed - Fix bug where channel mask of a file is unintentionally reused when several files are processed with one command - The order of compression-related commands is no longer important, i.e. -8ep gives the same result as -ep8. Previously, a compression level (like -8) would override a more specific setting (like -e or -p). This is no longer the case - flac now checks the block-align property of WAV files to ensure non-standard WAV files (for which flac has no handling) are not mangled
* metaflac: - (none)
* build system: - MSVC and Makefile.lite build system files have been removed. Building with MSVC (Visual Studio) can be done by using CMake - Various CMake improvements, especially for creating MSVC build files - Various fixes for MinGW (Martijn van Beurden, Cameron Cawley) - Removed obsolete autotools macro\'s to silence warnings - Fixes for FreeBSD PowerPC (pkubaj) - Fixed some compiler warnings (Martijn van Beurden, Tyler Dunn) - Fix building with uclibc (Fabrice Fontaine)
* testing/validation: - Addition of new encoder fuzzer, adding fuzzing for 8, 24 and 32-bit inputs - Addition of new decoder fuzzer, adding coverage of seeking code - Addition of metadata fuzzer, adding coverage of metadata APIs - Various improvements to fuzzers to improve code coverage, fuzzing speed and stability - Many changes to test suite to improve cross-platform compatibility - Windows CI now also builds the whole test suite - Clang-format file added - Add warning on using v141_xp platform toolset with /MT
* libraries: - Various seeking fixes - Various bugs fixed found by fuzzing - On decoding, it is now checked whether residuals can be contained by a 32-bit int, preventing integer overflow - Add check that samples supplied to libFLAC actually fall within the bps set - Add checks when parsing metadata blocks to not allocate excessive amounts of memory and not overread - Undocumented Windows-only utf8 functions are no longer exported to the DLL interface - Removed all assembler and intrinsics code from the decoder to improve fuzzing, as they provided only a small speed benefit - The bitwriter buffer is limited in size to 2^24 bytes, so it cannot write excessively large files. This is a backup in case another bug in this area creeps (back) in. - The metadata iterations should now never return a vorbiscomment entry with NULL as an entry, now always at least an empty string is returned
* documentation: - Removed html documentation and generate man pages from markdown
* Interface changes: + libFLAC: - Addition of FLAC__stream_encoder_set_limit_min_bitrate() and FLAC__stream_encoder_get_limit_min_bitrate(), see github #264 - get_client_data_from_decoder is renamed FLAC__get_decoder_client_data(), see github #124 - All API functions taking a filename as an argument now take UTF-8 filenames on Windows, and no longer accept filenames using the current codepage - FLAC__Frame struct has changed: warmup samples are now stored in FLAC__int64 instead of FLAC__int32 types, and verbatim samples can now be stored in either FLAC__int32 or FLAC__int64 depending on whether samples fix the former or latter - The FLAC__StreamMetadata struct now has a tag, so it can be forward declared + libFLAC++: - Addition of ::set_limit_min_bitrate() and ::get_limit_min_bitrate(), see github #264 - All API functions taking a filename as an argument now take UTF-8 filenames on Windows, and no longer accept filenames using the current codepage - The ::FLAC__Frame struct has changed, see the libFLAC interface change.- Drop flac-cflags.patch and 0001-Revert-libFLAC-stream_decoder.c-Use-current-position.patch, because ca no moire applied.
