As there have been additions to the libFLAC interfaces, the libFLAC version number is incremented to 13. The libFLAC++ version number stays at 10.
* General
* All PowerPC-specific code has been removed, as it turned out those improvements didn't actually improve anything
* Large improvements in encoder speed for all presets. The largest change is for the fastest presets and for 24-bit and 32-bit inputs.
* Small improvement in decoder speed for BMI2-capable CPUs
* Various documentation fixes and cleanups (Mark Grassi, Jake Schmidt)
* Various fixes (Ozkan Sezer, Zhipeng Xue, orbea, Sam James, Harish Mahendrakar)
* Fix building on Universal Windows Platform (Dmitry Kostjučenko)
* flac
* A lot of small fixes for bugs found by fuzzing
* Various improvements to the --keep-foreign-metadata and --keep-foreign-metadata-if-present options on decoding
* The output format (WAV/AIFF/RF64 etc.) is now automatically selected based on what kind of foreign metadata is stored
* Decoded file is checked afterwards, to see whether stored foreign format data agrees with FLAC audio properties
* AIFF-C sowt data can now be restored
* Add --force-legacy-wave-format option, to decode to WAV with WAVEFORMATPCM where WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE would be more appropriate
* Add --force-aiff-c-none-format and --force-aiff-c-sowt-format to decode to AIFF-C
* The storage of WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK is no longer restricted to known channel orderings
* Throw an error when WAV or AIFF files are over 4GiB in length and the --ignore-chunk-sizes option is not set
* Warn on testing files when ID3v2 tags are found
* Warn when data trails the audio data of a WAV/AIFF/RF64/W64 file
* Fix output file not being deleted after error on Windows
* Removal of the --sector--align option
* metaflac
* A lot of small fixes for bugs found by fuzzing
* Added options --append and --data-format, which makes it possible to copy metadata blocks from one FLAC file to another
* Added option --remove-all-tags-except
* Added option --show-all-tags (harridu, Martijn van Beurden)
* libFLAC
* No longer write seektables to Ogg, even when specifically asked for. Seektables in Ogg are not defined
* Add functions FLAC__metadata_object_set_raw and FLAC__metadata_object_get_raw to convert between blob and FLAC__StreamMetadata
* Build system
* Autoconf (configure)
* The option --enable-64-bit-words is now on by default
* CMake
* The option ENABLE_64_BIT_WORDS is now on by default
* Testing/validation
* Fuzzers were added for the flac and metaflac command line tools
* Fuzzer coverage was improved
