Changes in 1.8 final:
Added support for OWNE ID3 frames.
Changed key validation in the new PropertyMap API.
ID3v1::Tag::setStringHandler will no londer delete the previous
handler, the caller is responsible for this.
File objects will also no longer delete the passed IOStream
objects. It should be done in the caller code after the File
object is no longer used.
Added ID3v2::Tag::setLatin1StringHandler for custom handling
of latin1-encoded text in ID3v2 frames.
Fixed validation of ID3v2 frame IDs (IDs with
Changes in 1.8 beta:
New API for accessing tags by name.
New abstract I/O stream layer to allow custom I/O handlers.
Support for writing ID3v2.3 tags.
Support for various module file formats (MOD, S3M, IT, XM).
Support for MP4 and ASF is now enabled by default.
Started using atomic int operations for reference counting.
Added methods for checking if WMA and MP4 files are DRM-protected.
Added taglib_free to the C bindings.
New method to allow removing pictures from FLAC files.
Support for reading audio properties from ALAC and Musepack
SV8 files.
Added replay-gain information to Musepack audio properties.
Support for APEv2 binary tags.
Many AudioProperties subclasses now provide information about
the total number of samples.
Various small bug fixes.
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.
DynaMPD allows you to get a dynamic playlist with MPD: it adds to
your current playlist some tracks related to what you are currently
listenning to. The similar tracks request is done using the Last.fm
API (no registration required).
At least one rhythmbox library links with -lplist, but the library wasn't
available in .buildlink/lib. With no indirect linking, that breaks the
build on DragonFly.
Fluidsynth was redefining a properly-defined macro to null based on an
apparently flawed assumption. Add a condition to check if the macro is
defined before redefining.
This modified patch may fix more than just DragonFly.

There's something amiss with the amarok tarball, bsdtar won't fully
extract it. The file '._gem_commands.rb' will be missing unless GNU Tar
is used instead. Other platforms, like ArchLinux, have run into this
as well. The solution is mandate gtar for the file extraction.
Based on the excellent TagLib C++ library, which is fast, full-featured
and mature. In contrast to other bindings, this one wraps the full C++ API,
not only the minimal C API. This means that all tag data can be accessed,
e.g. cover art of ID3v2 or custom fields of Ogg Vorbis comments.
FreeBSD deprecated and removed libmytinfo years ago (before that it was
an alias for -lcurses). DragonFly recently followed suit and consequently
this package broke.
Patch taken from FreeBSD ports -- it fixed DragonFly too.
