./audio/flac, Free lossless audio codec

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.4.3, Package name: flac-1.4.3, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. Grossly oversimplified, FLAC is
similar to MP3, but lossless. The FLAC project consists of:
* the stream format
* libFLAC, which implements reference encoders and decoders
* flac, a command-line wrapper around libFLAC to encode and decode .flac
files
* input plugins for various music players (Winamp, XMMS, and more in the
works)

"Free" means that the specification of the stream format is in the public
domain (the FLAC project reserves the right to set the FLAC specification
and certify compliance), and that neither the FLAC format nor any of the
implemented encoding/decoding methods are covered by any patent. It also
means that the source for libFLAC is available under the LGPL and the
sources for flac and the plugins are available under the GPL.

flac: updated to 1.4.3

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

flac: updated to 1.4.2

FLAC 1.4.2 (22-Oct-2022)

Once again, this release only has a few changes. A problem with FLAC playback in \ 
GStreamer (and possibly other libFLAC users) was the reason for the short time \ 
since the last release

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

Log message:
flac: update to 1.4.0.

## FLAC 1.4.0

As there have been changes to the library interfaces, the libFLAC version number \ 
is incremented to 12, the libFLAC++ version number is incremented to 10. As some \ 
changes were breaking, the version age numbers (see [libtool \ 
versioning](https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/libtool.html#Libtool-versioning)) \ 
have been reset to 0. For more details on the changes to the API, see the \ 
[porting \ 
guide](https://xiph.org/flac/api/group__porting__1__3__4__to__1__4__0.html).

The XMMS plugin and 'common' plugin code (used only by the XMMS plugin) are \ 
deprecated, they will be removed in a future release.

* 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. (Con \ 
Kolivas)
    * 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 (Martijn van Beurden)
    * 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 (Ronen Gvili, Martijn van Beurden)
    * 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/](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](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](https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=FLAC_decoder_testbench).
* flac:
    * The option --limit-min-bitrate was added to aid streaming, see [github \ 
#264](https://github.com/xiph/flac/pull/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 \ 
(Martijn van Beurden, martinRenou, CookiePLMonster, David Callu, Tyler Dunn, \ 
Cameron Cawley)
    * 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 (Rosen \ 
Penev)
    * Windows CI now also builds the whole test suite
    * Clang-format file added (Rosen Penev)
    * Add warning on using v141_xp platform toolset with /MT (Martijn van \ 
Beurden, Paul Sanders)
* libraries:
    * Various seeking fixes (Martijn van Beurden, Robert Kausch)
    * 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](https://github.com/xiph/flac/pull/264)
        * get_client_data_from_decoder is renamed \ 
FLAC__get_decoder_client_data(), see [github \ 
#124](https://github.com/xiph/flac/pull/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](https://github.com/xiph/flac/pull/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.
