Version 6
2007-12-05
svn://diplodocus.org/projects/release/flac-archive-6

  * Rewrite fa-flacd, fa-rip, and flac2mp3 in Python, now that we have
    a decent musicbrainz library.

  * flac2mp3 is now parallelizable like fa-flacd.

  * flacsplit is a new Perl script to split single-file whole-disc
    FLAC files into per-track FLAC files; it's just a quick hack, and
    is not installed.

  * fa-rip now tries to find cover art and store it in a (new in flac
    1.1.3) FLAC PICTURE metadata block.

  * flac2mp3 copies PICTURE metadata blocks to MP3 ID3v2 APIC frames.

  * Add --artist and --title options for writing candidate-tags files
    based on artist/title rather than based on a disc.

  * Patch by: Martin Michlmayr to fix offset-skipping in fa-rip.

Version 5
2006-04-27
svn://diplodocus.org/projects/release/flac-archive-5

  * Store TRACKNUMBER tag in multi-file mode (oops).

Version 4
2006-04-19
svn://diplodocus.org/projects/release/flac-archive-4
  
  * Create a separate flac file for each track; the old behavior is
    still available with the --single-file option to fa-rip.
  
  * Make fa-rip's MusicBrainz network queries optional.
  
  * Bug fixes:
    * flac2mp3 breaks with missing tags
    * broken signal handling in fa-flacd
    * incomplete filename sanitization

Version 3
2005-06-26
svn://diplodocus.org/projects/release/flac-archive-3

  * Add support for multi-artist discs to fa-rip, which now uses the
    TITLE[n] style of tags rather than multiple TITLE tags.

  * flac2mp3 now supports multi-artist FLAC files, matches tag names
    case-insensitively, supports single track (no cue sheet) files,
    won't blow up when some input tags are missing, and takes multiple
    operands.

  * Add DISCNUMBER tag support to fa-flacd and flac2mp3.  This is
    better than putting "(disc 1)" at the end of ALBUM, though that's
    what ends up happening for mp3s due to lame.

  * Matthias Friedrich <matt@mafr.de> points out that
    MusicBrainz::Client already exposes the TOC info fa-rip needs.
    Use that instead of the external mkcue program.

  * Matthias also points out that he has added release date support to
    MusicBrainz::Client-0.09.  Require that version and add release
    date support to fa-rip.

Version 2
2004-12-05
svn://diplodocus.org/projects/release/flac-archive-2

  * Add support for running a post-processor hook after encoding to
    flac is finished; this can be handy for automatically running
    flac2mp3, moving the output to another location, etc.

  * Support TITLE[1] .. TITLE[n] tag style in flac2mp3.

  * Catch errors from flac or lame in flac2mp3.

  * Fix quoting in how flac2mp3 runs flac and lame.

  * New --quiet and --verbose options for flac2mp3, which are passed
    on to flac and lame in the appropriate form.

  * New flac2mp3 option, --lame-options, for passing additional
    options to lame; --preset standard is now only the default rather
    than hard-coded behavior.
