Update mpg123* from 1.19.0 to 1.21.0
(pkgsrc)
Add comment to patch-ad
Tks wiz@ and obache@ for review.x
1.21.0
---
- Use LL as shortcut for LOADLIST remote command, L is taken already (bug 210).
- Less namespace pollution (MPG123_EXPORT in header instead of EXPORT, bug 212).
1.20.1
---
- Make feed reader more efficient when skipping junk by early
discarding of data from buffers to avoid re-parsing.
1.20.0
---
- Added NEON optimized decoder for AArch64 (ARM 64bit environment)
- enabled for --with-cpu=neon64 (NEON only) or --with-cpu=aarch64
(runtime switch between neon and generic_fpu, like arm_fpu)
configuration
- compatible with aarch64-linux-gnu toolchains (from Ubuntu, debian) and Xcode 5
- Added new binary out123 only with the audio output part of mpg123.
This is a precursor to separating out said code into a simple audio
output library. It also allows plugging in some processing in a pipe
before feeding to output.
- Prevent opendir(NULL) for unknown module directory when listing modules.
- some build fixes, among those fixing mpg123-id3dump on Windows

OpenMPT based module player library and libopenmpt based command-line
player
libopenmpt is a cross-platform C++ and C library to decode tracked
music files (modules) into a raw PCM audio stream.
openmpt123 is a cross-platform command-line or terminal based module
file player.
libopenmpt is based on the player code of the Open ModPlug Tracker
project (OpenMPT, http://openmpt.org/). In order to avoid code base
fragmentation, libopenmpt is developed in the same source code
repository as OpenMPT.
pkgsrc changes:
---------------
Fix MASTER_SITES and HOMEPAGE.
Add opus and jack options.
Remove upstreamed patch
upstream changes:
-----------------
Lots of new features and fixes since 2.5.0 (which was released loooong ago)!
Major new features:
show all tracks when artist is selected in the tree view
JACK output plugin
Opus input plugin
Other notable new things:
«Night» and «Solarized» color schemes
reverse sort order support
ReplayGain closer to the spec
vim-style <c-e> / <c-y> scrolling
follow option
show_playback_position option
XDG directories support
better support for newer versions of FFmpeg
support for .oga and .ogx file extensions
stream metadata in cmus-remote -Q
Spectro-Edit reads in regular PCM audio files (currently, only
16-bit mono WAV is supported), then shows you the audio visually
in a time vs. frequency plot.
The fun part is, you can "paint out" any part of the visualization
and play back the audio subject to your modifications. When you
are happy with the result, you can save your work back to a WAV
file.
This could be useful for podcasting (edit out microphone noise,
chair squeaks, phones ringing, and other background noise), music
(make strange and unusual modifications to the sound for artistic
reasons), research (visualize animal calls or noise pollution from
nearby industrial activity), and general purpose geekery (which is
why I made it).
GStreamer is a library that allows the construction of graphs of
media-handling components, ranging from simple Ogg/Vorbis playback to
complex audio (mixing) and video (non-linear editing) processing.
Applications can take advantage of advances in codec and filter technology
transparently. Developers can add new codecs and filters by writing a
simple plugin with a clean, generic interface.
GStreamer is released under the LGPL.
This package is part of the 'bad' plugins for GStreamer. It provides the
soundtouch plugin, which allows detecting BPM and changing pitch
of audio files.
SoundTouch is an open-source audio processing library for changing
the Tempo, Pitch and Playback Rates of audio streams or audio files
Tempo (time stretch): Changes the sound to play at faster or
slower tempo than originally without affecting the sound pitch.
Pitch (key): Changes the sound pitch or key while keeping the
original tempo (speed).
Playback Rate: Changes both tempo and pitch together as if a
vinyl disc was played at different RPM rate.
The SoundTouch library is intended for application developers
writing sound processing tools that require tempo/pitch control
functionality, or just for playing around with the sound effects.
o printks2: Prints a new value every time a control variable changes using
a printf() style syntax.
o mp3sr mp3bitrate and mp3nchnls to get information on mp3 files
o New score opcode y sets the random seed (for ~) at read time
o A bug in CsOptions; the last argument was missed being read (issue #296)
o For ogg output it is possible to specify a VBR (variable bit rate)
quality.
o Many array operations now available for i-arrays as well as k-arrays.
o fillarray will work for string arrays
o Displays of FFT (via dispfft) improved with scaling/zooming options
o Signal flow graph opcodes are now working with a-rate array signals.
o New command-line option --devices[=in|out] gives a list of available
audio devices and then exit
o fixed the bug when tables were replaced but the size did not change
o A number of bugs in --sample-accurate have been detected and fixed.
This includes opcodes out, outn, and line.
o A number of bugs in grain3 were fixed#
o Bug in str_chanel could cause a crash; fixed
o Error in resize opcode corrected
o A number of bugs/untidiness fixed in GEN23
o Array bound checks fixed
o strings channels were not correctly set for dynamic-size strings
o memory allocation for string formatting in printfsk was fixed
o strcat safe against overflow
o error in compilation of arrays fixed (issue #293)
o GetPvsChannel fixed against a crash
o turnoff opcode now checks that the instrument being affected is active
o lenarray can accept any array type
o there is a new possible section in a csd file called <CsFile...> which
is like csFileB but with unencoded text.
o The whole system has been checked by the Coverity static checker which
identified a number of (mainly minor) problems. These have been
reviewed and checked. In particular better use of printing and string
copying should prevent overflows.
o The type and variable system has been extensively rewritten; this allows
better array and UDO support. This means that UDOs now allow any array
type to be used.
o Alignment of variables got right in all cases
o array copying is now using the type system to copy values; fixes issues
with copying string arrays, f-sigs, etc.

PulseAudio 3.0 Release Notes
We're, back with another shiny PulseAudio release! While the 3.0 release was a little delayed, it brings a number of important improvements, and bug fixes. A summary of changes follows.
Notable Changes
ALSA Use Case Manager (UCM) support
Runtime editable LADSPA filter parameters
Out-of-the-box support for Bluetooth sources
ARM NEON optimisations
Configurable device latency offset
Adhere to the XDG Base Directory Specification
Various ALSA changes
Lots of infrastructure improvements
Packaging
Bluetooth support requires now "sbc", a library for the SBC codec. The codec used to be included within PulseAudio, but it has now been split off into a separate library. It's available at http://www.bluez.org.
Support for the "socket API" of BlueZ has been dropped in favour of the D-Bus based "media API". Due to this change, the minimum supported version of BlueZ is now 4.99. Also, make sure that you don't have "Disable=Media" in /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf. And due to a bug in BlueZ, it's probably necessary to have "Disable=Socket", otherwise there will be problems with the A2DP profile.
Support for HAL has been removed. This shouldn't affect anyone, but if it does, please configure PulseAudio to use udev instead. module-hal-detect still exists for maintaining configuration file compatibility, but all it does is to load module-udev-detect. module-hal-detect may get completely removed in 4.0.

Let me know if you have any this time.
- Support float and 32/24 bit integer output also with fixed-point decoders (conversion from 16 bit precision).
- A-Law output encoding is actually implemented now (Michael introduced the encoding back in the old days without ever implementing theconversion table, apparently).
- Added --with-cpu=arm_fpu as decoder choice for runtime switch between plain fpu code and NEON.
- Fix ARM builds to work properly on debian systems without special CFLAGS (NEON decoder, specifically).
- Make scripts/benchmark-cpu.pl check the return value instead of delivering crazy timings for crashed mpg123.
- Trigger track initialization in mpg123_info() to avoid use of uninitialized variables (watch out for MPG123_NEED_MORE return value!).
- Fix integer code to 32 bit numbers where it would waste 64 bit on modern systems.
- Add non-executable stack marking also to ARM assembly.
- auerswald
- Fix several potential security issues in the NAS server.
See http://radscan.com/pipermail/nas/2013-August/001270.html for
a description. In addition, CVE numbers have been defined for

CVE-2013-4256
CVE-2013-4257
CVE-2013-4258

- add a format string to aulog.c (found using -Wformat-security warnings)
- Don't preprocess man pages
- Add proper includes in server/os/connection.c to prevent some
compile warnings and a possible server coredump under the right
conditions on x86_64 Linux systems.

Changes since 1.6:
3.1
Support for synchronized lyrics and event timing codes, find and
replace strings in tags and file names, details and sort columns
in file list, bug fixes and usability improvements.
3.0.2
This bugfix release solves the problem that translations and the
documentation were not found on Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks. The
application is now correctly terminated when the main window is
closed while the handbook is open. Session restoration and the
genres list have been improved. A few build system issues are fixed
too.
3.0.1
This is a bug fix release for 3.0. It fixes the incorrect configuration
conversion and toolbar configuration in the KDE version, the filename
format configuration, bugs in the fingerprint import and several
build issues for different Linux distributions.
3.0
Flexible architecture with common shared libraries and plugins for
metadata libraries and importers, new command-line application,
support for Opus format, bug fixes and usability improvements.
2.3
Automatic batch import for multiple directories, improved import,
configurable quick access tag frames, better responsiveness when
working with a huge number of files, long operations can be aborted,
bug fixes and usability improvements.
2.2.1
This is a bug fix release for 2.2. It fixes the selection of a
wrong language if the primary language is not supported and the
first fallback language should be English and that the English
instead of the German handbook was displayed for a German locale.
2.2
Improved Discogs and AcoustID audio fingerprint import, bug fixes
and usability improvements.
2.1
Chromaprint Acoustid fingerprint import, keyboard shortcuts, improved
iTunes support, icons, bug fixes.
2.0.1
Minor bugfixes. The build system is also improved and should work
out of the box on most distributions.
2.0
Extract and move information between tags, many improvements and
refactorings, e.g. in file list, import, numbering tracks, renaming
directories, GUI and usability.
This library is dead upstream and shouldn't be used for new stuff.
It hasn't been updated to support the newer musepack library (audio/musepack)
and thus depended on the old libmpcdec package instead.
This causes conflicts if you want to install e.g. KDE and vlc.
Requested by Sverre Froyen, ok markd@
Version 1.1 -- November 23, 2013
================================
- Fixed potential DoS attack in fingerprint decompression code. (#6)
- Fixed invalid memory read with some fingerprinter configurations. (#5)
- Fixed compilation with clang on OS X 10.9 (#7, #9)
- Added support for audio format conversion with libav. (#2, Gordon Pettey)
Version 1.0 -- September 7, 2013
================================
- Support for the latest FFmpeg API.
- Support for reading audio from stdin in fpcalc.
- Changed fpcalc to return non-zero status on failure.
Changes since 2.2.0:
* Fix image loading with HTTP URLs and empty images
* Fix bogus track numbers when automatically numbering files
* Add Opus and Speex MIME types to desktop file
* Abhinav Jangda’s fix for numeric characters in ID3 TPOS fields
* Roman Bogorodskiy’s ID3 wrapper compilation fix
* Improvements to MP4 GIO wrapper
* Fix a scanner bug when converting "%20" to " "
* Fix compilation if TagLib or libogg is unavailable
* Depend on TagLib 1.9.1 for MP4 support
* Use CXXFLAGS from the environment
* Rafael Ferrera’s Brazilian Portuguese translation update
* Aurimas Černius’s Lithuanian translation update
* Balázs Úr’s Hungarian translation update
* Matej Urbančič’s Slovenian translation update
depending on libmodplug.
Anyway, it doesn't work against the latest libmodplug, so remove plugin from
PLIST, explicitly disable libmodplug, and bump PKGREVISION.

This library has been stripped down from replaygain.
ReplayGain is the name of a technique invented to achieve the same
perceived playback loudness of audio files. It defines an algorithm
to measure the perceived loudness of audio data.
1.3.5 (April 15, 2014)
----------------------
This is a short-term release that adds some great new stuff to beets. There's
support for tracking and calculating musical keys, the ReplayGain plugin was
expanded to work with more music formats via GStreamer, we can now import
directly from compressed archives, and the lyrics plugin is more robust.
One note for upgraders and packagers: this version of beets has a new
dependency in `enum34`_, which is a backport of the new `enum`_ standard
library module.
The major new features are:
* Beets can now import `zip`, `tar` and `rar` archives. Just type ``beet
import music.zip`` to have beets transparently extract the files to import.
* :doc:`/plugins/replaygain`: Added support for calculating ReplayGain values
with GStreamer as well the mp3gain program. This enables ReplayGain
calculation for any audio format. Thanks to Yevgeny Bezman.
* :doc:`/plugins/lyrics`: Lyrics should now be found for more songs. Searching
is now sensitive to featured artists and parenthesized title suffixes.
When a song has multiple titles, lyrics from all the named songs are now
concatenated. Thanks to Fabrice Laporte and Paul Phillips.
In particular, a full complement of features for supporting musical keys are
new in this release:
* A new `initial_key` is available in the database and files' tags. You can
set the field manually using a command like ``beet modify
initial_key=Am``.
* The :doc:`/plugins/echonest` sets the `initial_key` field if the data is
available.
* A new :doc:`/plugins/keyfinder` runs a command-line tool to get the key from
audio data and store it in the `initial_key` field.
There are also many bug fixes and little enhancements:
* :doc:`/plugins/echonest`: Truncate files larger than 50MB before uploading for
analysis.
* :doc:`/plugins/fetchart`: Fix a crash when the server does not specify a
content type. Thanks to Lee Reinhardt.
* :doc:`/plugins/convert`: The ``--keep-new`` flag now works correctly
and the library includes the converted item.
* The importer now logs a message instead of crashing when errors occur while
opening the files to be imported.
* :doc:`/plugins/embedart`: Better error messages in exceptional conditions.
* Silenced some confusing error messages when searching for a non-MusicBrainz
ID. Using an invalid ID (of any kind---Discogs IDs can be used there too) at
the "Enter ID:" importer prompt now just silently returns no results. More
info is in the verbose logs.
* :doc:`/plugins/mbsync`: Fix application of album-level metadata. Due to a
regression a few releases ago, only track-level metadata was being updated.
* On Windows, paths on network shares (UNC paths) no longer cause "invalid
filename" errors.
* :doc:`/plugins/replaygain`: Fix crashes when attempting to log errors.
* The :ref:`modify-cmd` command can now accept query arguments that contain =
signs. An argument is considered a query part when a : appears before any
=s. Thanks to mook.

1.3.4 (April 5, 2014)
---------------------
This release brings a hodgepodge of medium-sized conveniences to beets. A new
:ref:`config-cmd` command manages your configuration, we now have :ref:`bash
completion <completion>`, and the :ref:`modify-cmd` command can delete
attributes. There are also some significant performance optimizations to the
autotagger's matching logic.
One note for upgraders: if you use the :doc:`/plugins/fetchart`, it has a new
dependency, the `requests`_ module.
New stuff:
* Added a :ref:`config-cmd` command to manage your configuration. It can show
you what you currently have in your config file, point you at where the file
should be, or launch your text editor to let you modify the file. Thanks to
geigerzaehler.
* Beets now ships with a shell command completion script! See
:ref:`completion`. Thanks to geigerzaehler.
* The :ref:`modify-cmd` command now allows removing flexible attributes. For
example, ``beet modify artist:beatles oldies!`` deletes the ``oldies``
attribute from matching items. Thanks to brilnius.
* Internally, beets has laid the groundwork for supporting multi-valued
fields. Thanks to geigerzaehler.
* The importer interface now shows the URL for MusicBrainz matches. Thanks to
johtso.
* :doc:`/plugins/smartplaylist`: Playlists can now be generated from multiple
queries (combined with "or" logic). Album-level queries are also now
possible and automatic playlist regeneration can now be disabled. Thanks to
brilnius.
* :doc:`/plugins/echonest`: Echo Nest similarity now weights the tempo in
better proportion to other metrics. Also, options were added to specify
custom thresholds and output formats. Thanks to Adam M.
* Added the :ref:`after_write <plugin_events>` plugin event.
* :doc:`/plugins/lastgenre`: Separator in genre lists can now be
configured. Thanks to brilnius.
* We now only use "primary" aliases for artist names from MusicBrainz. This
eliminates some strange naming that could occur when the `languages` config
option was set. Thanks to Filipe Fortes.
* The performance of the autotagger's matching mechanism is vastly improved.
This should be noticeable when matching against very large releases such as
box sets.
* The :ref:`import-cmd` command can now accept individual files as arguments
even in non-singleton mode. Files are imported as one-track albums.
Fixes:
* Error messages involving paths no longer escape non-ASCII characters (for
legibility).
* Fixed a regression that made it impossible to use the :ref:`modify-cmd`
command to add new flexible fields. Thanks to brilnius.
* :doc:`/plugins/echonest`: Avoid crashing when the audio analysis fails.
Thanks to Pedro Silva.
* :doc:`/plugins/duplicates`: Fix checksumming command execution for files
with quotation marks in their names. Thanks again to Pedro Silva.
* Fix a crash when importing with both of the :ref:`group_albums` and
:ref:`incremental` options enabled. Thanks to geigerzaehler.
* Give a sensible error message when ``BEETSDIR`` points to a file. Thanks
again to geigerzaehler.
* Fix a crash when reading WMA files whose boolean-valued fields contain
strings. Thanks to johtso.
* :doc:`/plugins/fetchart`: The plugin now sends "beets" as the User-Agent
when making scraping requests. This helps resolve some blocked requests. The
plugin now also depends on the `requests`_ Python library.
* The :ref:`write-cmd` command now only shows the changes to fields that will
actually be written to a file.
* :doc:`/plugins/duplicates`: Spurious reports are now avoided for tracks with
missing values (e.g., no MBIDs). Thanks to Pedro Silva.
* The default :ref:`replace` sanitation options now remove leading whitespace
by default. Thanks to brilnius.
* :doc:`/plugins/importfeeds`: Fix crash when importing albums
containing ``/`` with the ``m3u_multi`` format.
* Avoid crashing on Mutagen bugs while writing files' tags.
* :doc:`/plugins/convert`: Display a useful error message when the FFmpeg
executable can't be found.

1.3.3 (February 26, 2014)
-------------------------
Version 1.3.3 brings a bunch changes to how item and album fields work
internally. Along with laying the groundwork for some great things in the
future, this brings a number of improvements to how you interact with beets.
Here's what's new with fields in particular:
* Plugin-provided fields can now be used in queries. For example, if you use
the :doc:`/plugins/inline` to define a field called ``era``, you can now
filter your library based on that field by typing something like
``beet list era:goldenage``.
* Album-level flexible attributes and plugin-provided attributes can now be
used in path formats (and other item-level templates).
* :ref:`Date-based queries <datequery>` are now possible. Try getting every
track you added in February 2014 with ``beet ls added:2014-02`` or in the
whole decade with ``added:2010..``. Thanks to Stig Inge Lea Bjørnsen.
* The :ref:`modify-cmd` command is now better at parsing and formatting
fields. You can assign to boolean fields like ``comp``, for example, using
either the words "true" or "false" or the numerals 1 and 0. Any
boolean-esque value is normalized to a real boolean. The :ref:`update-cmd`
and :ref:`write-cmd` commands also got smarter at formatting and colorizing
changes.
For developers, the short version of the story is that Item and Album objects
provide *uniform access* across fixed, flexible, and computed attributes. You
can write ``item.foo`` to access the ``foo`` field without worrying about
where the data comes from.
Unrelated new stuff:
* The importer has a new interactive option (*G* for "Group albums"),
command-line flag (``--group-albums``), and config option
(:ref:`group_albums`) that lets you split apart albums that are mixed
together in a single directory. Thanks to geigerzaehler.
* A new ``--config`` command-line option lets you specify an additional
configuration file. This option *combines* config settings with your default
config file. (As part of this change, the ``BEETSDIR`` environment variable
no longer combines---it *replaces* your default config file.) Thanks again
to geigerzaehler.
* :doc:`/plugins/ihate`: The plugin's configuration interface was overhauled.
Its configuration is now much simpler---it uses beets queries instead of an
ad-hoc per-field configuration. This is *backwards-incompatible*---if you
use this plugin, you will need to update your configuration. Thanks to
BrainDamage.
Other little fixes:
* :doc:`/plugins/echonest`: Tempo (BPM) is now always stored as an integer.
Thanks to Heinz Wiesinger.
* Fix Python 2.6 compatibility in some logging statements in
:doc:`/plugins/chroma` and :doc:`/plugins/lastgenre`.
* Prevent some crashes when things go really wrong when writing file metadata
at the end of the import process.
* New plugin events: ``item_removed`` (thanks to Romuald Conty) and
``item_copied`` (thanks to Stig Inge Lea Bjørnsen).
* The ``pluginpath`` config option can now point to the directory containing
plugin code. (Previously, it awkwardly needed to point at a directory
containing a ``beetsplug`` directory, which would then contain your code.
This is preserved as an option for backwards compatibility.) This change
should also work around a long-standing issue when using ``pluginpath`` when
beets is installed using pip. Many thanks to geigerzaehler.
* :doc:`/plugins/web`: The ``/item/`` and ``/album/`` API endpoints now
produce full details about albums and items, not just lists of IDs. Thanks
to geigerzaehler.
* Fix a potential crash when using image resizing with the
:doc:`/plugins/fetchart` or :doc:`/plugins/embedart` without ImageMagick
installed.
* Also, when invoking ``convert`` for image resizing fails, we now log an
error instead of crashing.
* :doc:`/plugins/fetchart`: The ``beet fetchart`` command can now associate
local images with albums (unless ``--force`` is provided). Thanks to
brilnius.
* :doc:`/plugins/fetchart`: Command output is now colorized. Thanks again to
brilnius.
* The :ref:`modify-cmd` command avoids writing files and committing to the
database when nothing has changed. Thanks once more to brilnius.
* The importer now uses the album artist field when guessing existing
metadata for albums (rather than just the track artist field). Thanks to
geigerzaehler.
* :doc:`/plugins/fromfilename`: Fix a crash when a filename contained only a
track number (e.g., ``02.mp3``).
* :doc:`/plugins/convert`: Transcoding should now work on Windows.
* :doc:`/plugins/duplicates`: The ``move`` and ``copy`` destination arguments
are now treated as directories. Thanks to Pedro Silva.
* The :ref:`modify-cmd` command now skips confirmation and prints a message if
no changes are necessary. Thanks to brilnius.
* :doc:`/plugins/fetchart`: When using the ``remote_priority`` config option,
local image files are no longer completely ignored.
* :doc:`/plugins/echonest`: Fix an issue causing the plugin to appear twice in
the output of the ``beet version`` command.
* :doc:`/plugins/lastgenre`: Fix an occasional crash when no tag weight was
returned by Last.fm.
* :doc:`/plugins/mpdstats`: Restore the ``last_played`` field. Thanks to
Johann Klähn.
* The :ref:`modify-cmd` command's output now clearly shows when a file has
been deleted.
* Album art in files with Vorbis Comments is now marked with the "front cover"
type. Thanks to Jason Lefley.

Opus is a totally open, royalty-free, highly versatile audio codec.
Opus is unmatched for interactive speech and music transmission
over the Internet, but also intended for storage and streaming
applications. It is standardized by the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF) as RFC 6716 which incorporated technology from Skype's
SILK codec and Xiph.Org's CELT codec.
This package contains a high level API for decoding and seeking in
opus files.
libmikmod v3.3.6 was released on 20-Mar-2014.
- UMX loader: Minor corrections to the container parse code with
relation to upkg file format. (for correctness' sake only...)
- ALSA and ESD drivers: Fixed a dlopen() issue.
- PulseAudio driver: Simplified its command line parser procedure,
so that it always sets server and sink to some value, NULL or
otherwise, and fix a very minor memory leak on some occasions.
- Configury, OSS driver: Removed useless check for /dev/sndstat
presence, added <soundcard.h> check to cover all our bases for
less common setups.
- Configury, NAS driver: Use the configury detected X header and
library locations when necessary, not just hardcoded /usr/X11R6/.
- Several configury and makefile clean-ups.
- Added Dreamcast driver from the old 3.2.0b2 dreamcast.es port.
0.3.5:
While we've not added any additional functionality, we have fixed
many bugs from internal testing (clang static analysis and valgrind)
and also downstream distribution issues. We've also reduced the
memory thrashing dramatically. Going from 16,000 reallocations and
about 400MiB memory usage when playing a 2 minute midi down to
about 600 reallocations and only 8MiB memory usage!
What is new in this release:
Greatly reduced the heap usage (was a regression introduced in
0.2.3)
OpenAL support: Fixed audio output on big-endian systems. Fixed
audio skips at song start.
OSS support: No longer uses mmap mode for better compatibility.
This gains us NetBSD and OpenBSD support.
Worked around an invalid memory read found by valgrind when
playing Beethoven's Fur Elise.rmi at 44100 Hz using the old
MIDIA patch-set from 1994.
Build fixes for MSVC. Revised visibility attributes usage.
0.3.4:
This release marks the end of further development in the 0.3 branch.
We will do bug-fixes to help stabilize platforms, but no new
functionality will be added after this.
What is new in this release:
OpenAL support: This gains us OSX and other platforms that
OpenAL supports for sound output!
DOS DJGPP support: This goes a long way to helping other DOS
based applications like UHexen2.
MinGW support: This gains us win32 and win64 support using this
toolchain.
Fedora support: We are now ready to see this get pushed upstream
to Fedora.
New portable file and path-name system to handle cross-platform
support.
Support for Debian/kFreeBSD, Debian/Hurd and other Debian archs.
Many bug fixes, code clean-ups and cosmetic fixes.
0.3.3:
This is the first package to be officially uploaded to Debian.
default to hidden visibility and only export our API functions
windows lean and mean to help compile times on Windows
cli and xcode work now on OSX
better FreeBSD support
Supported platforms are Debian, FreeBSD, Windows and OSX (but only
for WAV output)
0.3.2:
Now with Microsoft Visual Studio support.
10 March 2014: libmodplug 0.8.8.5
A very long time between the last release (although some
occasional activity occured in git)
The code is now in both the sourceforge git tree (as a full
project), as well as github (only libmodplug): Here.
Some security patches: CVE-2013-4233, CVE-2013-4234, as well
as many fixes suggested by static analyzers: clang build-scan,
and coverity.
A few patches to ease compilation in windows environments,
including a CMakeLists file.
