Upstream changes:
-----------------
- CUE sheets support. When adding e.g. `track.flac` to the library, cmus will
check for `track.cue` or `track.flac.cue` in the same directory. If it founds
one, it will ignore the tags in `track.flac` and use CUE metadata instead
- cdio input plugin, for those of you who still remember what a CD is :-)
- support for WavPack `.wvc` correction files
- new zenburn color scheme (as seen at http://cmus.sf.net/), and text
attributes (bold/reverse/#) support for UI elements
- improved tab completion, new `scroll_offset` and `icecast_default_charset`
options, even better tag parsing and compilations handling, and numerous small
enhancements all over the place.

Beets is the best command-line tool for viewing, querying, renaming,
and updating your music collection.
The purpose of beets is to get your music collection right once
and for all. It catalogs your collection, automatically improving
its metadata as it goes using the MusicBrainz database. (It also
downloads cover art for albums it imports.) Then it provides a
bouquet of tools for manipulating and accessing your music.
Because beets is designed as a library, it can do almost anything
you can imagine for your music collection. Via plugins, beets
becomes a panacea:
* Embed and extract album art from files' tags.
* Listen to your library with a music player that speaks the MPD
protocol and works with a staggering variety of interfaces.
* Fetch lyrics for all your songs from databases on the Web.
* Manage your MusicBrainz music collection.
* Analyze music files' metadata from the command line.
* Clean up crufty tags left behind by other, less-awesome tools.
* Browse your music library graphically through a Web browser
and play it in any browser that supports HTML5 Audio.

bug fix: abc2abc truncated the voice ids when it encounters the first
invalid character without giving any warning.

IBNIZ is a virtual machine designed for extremely compact low-level
audiovisual programs. The leading design goal is usefulness as a
platform for demoscene productions, glitch art and similar projects.
Mainsteam software engineering aspects are considered totally
irrelevant.
IBNIZ stands for Ideally Bare Numeric Impression giZmo. The name
also refers to Gottfried Leibniz, the 17th-century polymath who,
among all, invented binary arithmetic, built the first four-operation
calculating machine, and believed that the world was designed with
the principle that a minimal set of rules should yield a maximal
diversity.

Version 1.9.3 (stable) 05/13/2011
- overdue 1.9.3 maint release
- Older X11 systems used to define SharedLibX and friends if the
installed X11 system was built with shared lib support. Newer
X11's use SharedLibX11 instead. Same for
{Normal|Debug|Profile}LibX. So check for these and set
appropriately in NetAudio.tmpl.
Shared lib installations should deal with libXau dependancies
correctly now.
- auerswald:
Added MacOS X aka Darwin to list of systems that need to
explicitely link libaudio.so against libXau. This enables building
of the shared library libaudio.so on MacOS X.
There is currently no NAS server for MacOS X.
Version 1.9.2 (stable) 03/07/2009
- overdue 1.9.2 release.
- patch from Aleksey Cheusov:
"fix for "libpthread: Unlocking unlocked mutex" seen on NetBSD-4"
libaudio: OpenSvr.c: The server mutex was being unlocked, even
though it was never locked in the first place.
- Hugo Vanwoerkom reported thousands of diagnostics in his syslog:
"doSetup: elementRate == 0! Forcing to 5000". Fix doSetup to only
warn about this when the debug level is above 10.
- auerswald:
document syslog usage
use syslog if running as a daemon, stderr otherwise
add syslog-usage-change to HISTORY file
- steve_mcintyre:
Minor man page fix ported from the Debian packages.
Multiple minor portability changes ported over from the Debian
packages. Cope with Hurd and GNU/KFreeBSD and other systems using
glibc
- apply patch from sourceforge user moinakg:
Libaudio is built with missing linker flags on OpenSolaris like
missing lXt, so it results in symbol not found errors at runtime.
I am including an Imakefile patch below that fixed this.
-----
a bit crazy that we deliberately break the config script in this
package and have to replicate everything into files/ just to support
NetBSD, it's significantly reducing the portability.
Avoid ssize_t clash on newer Solaris.
These fixes make the package now build on Solaris.
Changes in Releases of taglib-ruby
==================================
## 0.5.2 (2012-10-06)
* Fix memory bug with TagLib::MPEG::File#tag and TagLib::FLAC::File#tag
which could cause crashes (#14)
* Update TagLib of binary gem for Windows to 1.8
Changelog:
Version 1.0.2 released
6 December, 2012
Opus 1.0.2 fixes an out-of-bounds read that could be triggered by
a malicious Opus packet causing an integer wrap-around in the
padding code. Considering that the packet would have to be at least
16 MB in size and that no out-of-bounds write is possible, the
severity is very low. Other changes include fixes and improvements
to the PLC and hybrid mode quality improvements. As usual, this
release is fully compliant with the Opus specification.
uses two different id3 support libraries.
Fix mp4 support option. It was depending on libmp4v2, but that wasn't
recognized by easytag's configure any longer. Switch to mp4v2 and rename
the option to match.
Add patches from gentoo to fix build with latest mp4v2 version.

8-32 kbps/channel range. Possible applications include Voice over
IP (VoIP), internet audio streaming, archiving of speech data (e.g.
voice mail), and audio books. In some sense, it is meant to be
complementary to the Ogg Vorbis codec.

Libvisual is an abstraction library that comes between applications
and audio visualisation plugins.
Often when it comes to audio visualisation plugins or programs that
create visuals, they depend on a player or something else; basically,
there is no general framework that enabled application developers
to easily access cool audio visualisation plugins. Libvisual wants
to change this by providing an interface towards plugins and
applications; through this easy to use interface applications can
easily access plugins and, since the drawing is done by the
application, it also enables the developer to draw the visual
anywhere he wants.
The framework also allows you to morph to different plugins and
mix two at once; all kinds of neat tricks are possible using this
method.

* When writing covers to files, all existing covers will be replaced.
* PulseAudio status in diagnostic dialog.
* optional libgpod dependency raised to 0.8.2 to support newest iPods.
* Amarok now prevents accidental unmounting of iPods in (small) time-frames
when iTunes database on iPod is not yet updated.
* Amarok detects when iPod is to be ejected from system and gracefully
disconnects it when it occurs.
* Hitting the eject button on iPod collection ejects it also from the
system.
* iPod collection now detects whether iPod is safe to write and marks iPod
as read-only if not. This prevents "iPod shows 0 tracks" problem.
* Correct progress bar advancement when transferring tracks to iPod.
* iPod Collection supports multiple simultaneous cancellable transfers.
* Improved dialog to initialize iPod.
* Load tracks in playlists asynchronously using proxy tracks.
* It is now possible to transcode tracks when moving them.
* Drag & drop of tracks and playlists to Saved Playlists works in all cases.
* Don't show unmounted USB Mass Storage devices and make it clear when
the device is not "activated" yet.
* "Devices" in Amarok configuration -> Plugins is with other related strings
renamed to "Local Collection Backends" to reduce user confusion.
* Enable keyboard activation of PlaylistBrowser items.
* Don't use `mysql_config --variable=pkgincludedir`, find mysql include
directory manually by looking up mysql.h.
* Album artist is now guessed for tracks that do not belong into any
collection and tracks from USB Mass Storage collection. Guessing uses the
same algorithm as Local Collection.
* When hovering iPod, UMS or MTP collection in collection browser,
"1.2 GB free" is shown instead of "85% used"; thicker capacity bar.
Plus many bugfixes.
As discussed on pkgsrc-users, x11/ftlk (1.1) is no longer maintained,
and 1.3 is believed to be almost entirely compatible.
Patch from Tim Larson, who has build-tested these packages on
NetBSD/amd64.

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).

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.
