## FLAC 1.4.3 (23-Jun-2023)

As there have been additions to the libFLAC interfaces, the libFLAC version number is incremented to 13. The libFLAC++ version number stays at 10.

• 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

Hmm, but it seems actually 12.

Do we need to disable it for 32-bit system?

That's a good question. I don't think we would need to, but I'll check later today since I need to build a bit of the multimedia stack on my 32-bit system for testing Java.

I'm wrong, it's bumped from libFLAC.so.12.0 to libFLAC.so.12.1, and I remember libtool calls (major version + minor version) as "version number" for some reason...
