| Summary: Free Lossless Audio Codec | |
FLAC is an audio coding format for lossless compression of digital audio, and is also the name of the reference software package that includes a codec implementation. Digital audio compressed by FLAC's algorithm can typically be reduced to between 50 and 70 percent of its original size, and decompresses to an identical copy of the original audio data.

- Update to version 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
* Various fixes
* Fix building on Universal Windows Platform
+ 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
+ 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
- Changed source to github link since it wasn't released in the
xiph page.
* Sat Mar 11 2023 Martin Pluskal <mpluskal@suse.com>

* 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

- Rebase flac-cflags.patch
* Sun Sep 11 2022 Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Update to version 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
+ 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
* Removed obsolete autotools macro's to silence warnings
* Fixes for FreeBSD PowerPC
* Fixed some compiler warnings
* Fix building with uclibc
+ 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.
