./audio/wavpack, Audio codec for lossless, lossy and hybrid compression

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


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 4.50.1, Package name: wavpack-4.50.1, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

WavPack is a completely open audio compression format providing lossless,
high-quality lossy, and a unique hybrid compression mode.
The compression ratio depends on the source material, but generally is
between 30% and 70%.

The hybrid mode provides all the advantages of lossless compression with
an additional bonus. Instead of creating a single file, this mode creates
both a relatively small, high-quality lossy file that can be used all by
itself, and a "correction" file that (when combined with the lossy file)
provides full lossless restoration. For some users this means never having
to choose between lossless and lossy compression.

- Update to wavpack-4.50.1.
- Set LICENSE=modified-bsd
- Give the package to pkgsrc-users

WavPack Library Source Code - 4.50.1
------------------------------------
fixed: alignment fault when manipulating APEv2 tags (non-x86 only)
fixed: build on UNIX via elimination of non-standard strnlen()

wavpack.exe (command-line encoder) - 4.50.1
wvunpack.exe (command-line decoder) - 4.50.1
--------------------------------------------
fixed: checking return value of iconv_open() prevents core dump on Solaris

WavPack Library Source Code - 4.50
----------------------------------
added: dynamic noise shaping for improved hybrid quality
added: option to merge blocks of similar redundancy
added: ability to store and retrieve extra mode level
fixed: alignment fault on some big-endian machines
fixed: compiling with enable-mmx on gcc 4.3.x (thanks Joachim)
improved: allow bitrate to be calculated for files down to 1/10 second
improved: decoding of corrupt files (prevents heap overrun crashes)

wavpack.exe (command-line encoder) - 4.50
-----------------------------------------
added: dynamic noise shaping for improved hybrid quality
added: --channel-order option to reorder nonconforming multichannel files
added: --merge-blocks option to optimize storage of LossyWAV output files
added: ignore -o on Windows for compatibility with Linux version
fixed: alignment fault on some big-endian machines
improved: reformatted and expanded --help display

wvunpack.exe (command-line decoder) - 4.50
------------------------------------------
fixed: don't ignore fractions of seconds in --skip option
added: show extra level and dns status for newer files (-s command)
added: ignore -o on Windows for compatibility with Linux version
improved: decoding of corrupt files (prevents heap overrun crashes)
improved: display bitrate for files down to 1/10 second

Log message:
Simply and speed up buildlink3.mk files and processing.
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.

Log message:
Update to 4.41.0:

fixed: corrupt floating-point audio on big-endian machines
fixed: limit RIFF data buffering to 16 MB to prevent out-of-memory crash
improved: attempt to mute errors when decoding corrupt legacy WavPack files
improved: overall performance enhancements of 10% to 30% (depending on mode)
added: MMX intrinsics for 24-bit (and higher) stereo encoding (thanks to
	Joachim Henke)
added: --skip and --until commands to unpack specified range of audio data
