New in this release are small decoding speedups for all platforms,
small encoding speedups in fast (non-LPC) mode, streaming support
in the XMMS plugin, and several bug fixes. For developers there
are also a few additions and changes to the metadata API to make
working with tags easier. See the changelog entry for complete
details. This release actually wasn't supposed to happen so soon,
but needed to be made to fix library naming and build problems in
FLAC 1.1.1 that caused trouble for package maintainers, so unless
you are having trouble with one of the particular bugs that got
fixed in 1.1.2 then there is not much of a need to upgrade.
assembler. Since they cause the FLAC build to fail on AIX and NetBSD,
only enable the optimizations if the OPSYS is Darwin.
There is also a misplaced #endif in lpc.h that causes the build to
fail on all platforms if assembler optimizations are disabled. This
is fixed by patch-af.

* Bug fixes.
* 24-bit input support restored in flac.
* Decoder speedup in libFLAC, which is directly passed on to the
command-line decoder and plugins.
* New -F option to flac to continue decoding in spite of errors.
* New VORBIS_COMMENT metadata block for tagging with Vorbis-style comments.
* Vastly improved metaflac, now with many editing and tagging options.
* Note: new semantics for -P option in flac.
* Note: removed -R option in flac.
* New metadata interface to libFLAC for manipulating metadata in FLAC files.
* New libFLAC++ API, an object wrapper around libFLAC.
* Customizable metadata filtering by type in decoders.
* Stream encoder can take an arbitrary list of metadata blocks, instead
of just one SEEKTABLE and/or PADDING block.
