Changelog:
Version 1.12.5:
This release fixes a buffer overflow issue in the mpg123 frontend application when printing ID3 data in non-UTF-8 environments. It has been introduced in version 1.12.4 and Jakub Bogusz was so kind to bump my head into this. Please upgrade. Thanks.
Version 1.12.4:
This is a little bugfix release that improves printout of metadata (ID3) in UTF-8 terminals, fixing one of those distro bug reports that I am getting aware of late... Get it from the usual places.
Version 1.12.3:
The newest release fixes bug 3022850, a long-standing bug that managed to break http streaming with ICY metadata in a non-obvious manner. It's a little change with big impact... for those who listen to web radio, that is.
Version 1.12.2:
The fresh maintenance release mainly fixes bug 2996045, invalid memory access prompted by addresses in the upper half of the address space. I introduced that one with a bad alignment algorithm, sorry.
Along with this go several other fixes/improvements:
* Various build and portability fixes (including making some exotic configure switches work (again)).
* Add dump_seekindex example
* Sync mpg123_clr (.NET wrapper) to 1.12 feature set, patch provided by Malcolm Boczek -- and actually include it in release tarball!
* Rework mpg123.h logic for large file stuff a bit, clients can control it by defining MPG123_NO_LARGENAME or MPG123_LARGESUFFIX.
* Include dumb wrappers to provide names suffixed with _64 on 64 bit machines and _32 on 32 bit machines, respectively, to help clients that insist on defining _FILE_OFFSET_BITS where it is not needed (or with a non-large value).
* Tuning of the internal buffer code for feeder mode to minimize its performance impact (works in 4K blocks now).
* Workaround for compiler bugs in Open64/PathScale/SunStudio (bug 3004396, suggestion by Doug Gilmore).
Note that Sun Studio is still a tricky fellow, at least when it comes to our preprocessed assembly (generic build works). Also, x86-Open64 recently produced another segfault in layer3.c on my box... GNU and intel compilers are what one can use as something stable.
* Make mpg123_getformat() return more error codes (like MPG123_NEED_MORE).
* Fix handle I/O for clients with small file offset (32 bit when libmpg123 has 64 bit).
* Fix 3DNow(Ext) standalone builds.
Being here, fix a possible problem which was mentioned in conjunction
with CAN-2003-0577 - zero bitrate makes mpg123 assume a negative
frame size.
bump PKGREVISION
- fix a buffer overflow:
"A malicious formatted mp3/2 causes mpg123 to fail header checks,
this may allow arbitrary code to be executed with the privilege
of the user trying to play the mp3."
- patch from Debian but retain code style.
