      * New upstream version with various improvements and bugfixes:
        + When using musicbrainz, don't assume that there will be release
          events attached to a particular CD release. Bug fix for the addition

          Kerr for debugging help.
        + Support for output to the Matroska container (mka). Encoder
          is FFmpeg (or avconv). Thanks to Shantiq and Fakeoutdoorsman of
          the Ubuntu Forums for the idea.
        + Add id3tag mp3 tagger as this is the tagger available to
          OpenBSD users. Thanks to Christopher Zimmermann for the
          notification and patch.
        + Allow for cddb response 500. Thanks again to Von Welch for the

  • abcde (2.7.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * New upstream version, with lots of improvements and bugfixes:
        + Rebuild of the abcde Makefile. Thanks to Reuben Thomas and Steve
          McIntyre as well as ReaperX7, bobzilla, 55020, GazL and dugan from
          the Slackware Forums. This closes Issue 4:
          http://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4
        + Fix incorrect use of 'break'. Thanks to Reuben Thomas for the
          bug report and fix which closes Issue 6:
          http://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6
        + Make older versions of id3 happy when 'Genre' field is empty.
          Thanks to Martin Husemann for the fix which closes Issue 8:
          http://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8
        + Add YEAR and GENRE variables to do_getalbumart(). Thanks to
          Johannes Gernemann for this patch which closes issue 9:
          http://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9
        + Support added for encoding to True Audio using tta while still
          supporting the older ttaenc. Tagging is with mid3v2.
        + Support added for encoding to MPEG-1 Audio Layer II (mp2)
          with either twolame or FFmpeg / avconv. Tagging with mid3v2.
        + Encoding to WavPack with FFmpeg. Some slight changes to WavPack
          syntax with backward compatibility built in for abcde 2.7.
        + Encoding to m4a container with FFmpeg or avconv. This allows
          for alac encoding with FFmpeg's reverse engineered alac encoder.
        + AAC encoding with fhgaacenc via Wine. Tagging is provided
          by AtomicParsley which has been added back to abcde :). This
          allows encoding with HE-AAC v2, unavailable with qaac.
        + Support added for AAC encoding with qaac via Wine. This
          also allows for Apple Lossless Audio Coding (alac) using
          either qaac or refalac. This closes Issue 142, thanks to
          Bernd Fischer-Krellenberg for the enhancement request.
        + Grab year information too when using musicbrainz. Thanks to
          Marco Hoppstaedter for the patch. Closes issue 10:
          http://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10
       * Update debian/watch to match tne new upstream home.

  • abcde (2.7-1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Remove Jesus and Colin from Maintainer and Uploaders fields, as
        they've moved on. Thanks to both for their efforts!
      * Update the Vcs- fields to point to current upstream.
      * Clarify the old "public domain" mention in the license, now removed
        upstream.
      * Remove TODO file, removed upstream
      * New upstream version, with lots of improvements and bugfixes:
        + Rewrite of abcde's mungefilename function. Thanks to 
          Andreas Kusalananda Kahari for this and also thanks
          to Andrew Willis for the report which triggered the
          rewrite. Thanks also to shughes for an earlier report.
          This closes Issues 72 and 135.
        + TRACKTOTAL now written to flac and ogg files. Thanks to 
          monkth for the notification. This resolves Issue 76.
        + Support added for the downloading of album art. A huge
          thank you to Johannes Gernemann who came forward with
          the technique used and also the original patch. An equally
          huge thanks to Richard who extended and greatly enhanced
          the original patch. Detailed documentation added to the
          abcde FAQ document although the sane defaults in place
          will guarantee a good experience even for those who do
          not read documentation! This closes Issue 33.
        + Support added for ripping with the GNU Compact Disc 
          Input and Control library (libcdio) as requested by
          both gentoo and NixOS. The utility used is cd-paranoia
          and can best be called from a conf file as follows:
    
           CDROMREADERSYNTAX=libcdio       
           CD_PARANOIA=cd-paranoia  
           CDPARANOIAOPTS="--never-skip=40 --verbose"
    
          with the CD_PARANOIA variable giving the correct path 
          to cd-paranoia. I believe that cd-paranoia uses the same
          options as cdparanoia but if I am proven incorrect this 
          will need to be rectified...
        + Fix for encoding with bladeenc and usepipes.
        + Fix for broken ripping with dagrab. Closes Issue 140.
        + Fix for diskutil selecting wrong disk on OS X. Thanks
          to Richard for this fix which closes Issue 139.
        + Added some error checking and documentation for
          the abcde-musicbrainz-tool. Thanks yet again to
          Matthias Andree for this work! Closes issue 138.
        + New variables for m4a/aac encoding options to be 
          manipulated in a users ~/.abcde.conf file:
           1. FAACENCOPTS for faac encoding options
           2. NEROAACENCOPTS for neroAacEnc options
           3. FDKAACENCOPTS for fdkaacenc options
          Note that these options replace the now obsolete AACENCOPTS.
        + Check added for neroAacTag when encoding with neroAacEnc.
        + Several additions to usepipes with the following encoders 
          being added:
            1. mp3enc: mp3
            2. speexenc: Speex
            3. mpcenc: Musepack SV8
            4. wavpack: WavPack
            5. faac: aac
            6. neroAacEnc: aac
            7. fdkaac: aac
          The cd ripper cdda2wav (icedax) has also been added.
        + Ripping and encoding with 'usepipes' fixed. This fix
          closes Issue 46.
        + Suggested encoding options for mp3enc added to the sample
          abcde.conf. Last release of mp3enc in 1998 but it still
          works flawlessly with a modern abcde!
        + Suggested encoding options for l3enc added to the sample
          abcde.conf. Congratulations to abcde which in 2015 still 
          works with l3enc which saw its final release in 1997!
        + Fix for -o option use with options and multiple outputs.
          This allows for commandline options such as the following:
                abcde -o 'flac:-8,mp3:-b 320' 
          Thanks to Matthias Andree for yet another quality patch! 
          This closes Issue 136.
        + Support added for ReplayGain with WavPack encoding.
        + Fix for MusePack to allow the use of the SV8 ReplayGain 
          application 'mpcgain'.
        + Monkey's Audio (ape) encoding added. Tagging is with
          Robert Muth's apetag. Thanks to Shantiq for testing.
        + Simplify Opus tagging.This closes Issue 133.
        + Allow 'clean' when OUTPUTTYPE=wav, broken for some time.
          Thanks to Roger rogerx.oss<at>gmail.com for showing the
          problem and demonstrating the fix. This closes Issue 94.
        + Clarification that CDDBLOCALRECURSIVE=y is required for 
          local CDDB search. Thanks to Reuben Thomas for the
          notification. This partially resolves Issue 121.
        + AtomicParsley removed from debian/control, WavPack added.
        + Details of abcde's handling of faac compiled with and 
          without mp4v2 added as a new entry to FAQs.
        + Fix to allow display of the 'date' meta tag generated
          by eyeD3 in vlc, Audacious and friends.
          Thanks to Reuben Thomas. This closes Issue 126.
        + Fix for flac floating point error. Thanks to rwvtveer
          for the patch which closes Issue 113.
        + Formalised 3 methods of mp3 tagging using ID3TAGV:
            1.id3v2.4 using eyeD3 (set in abcde as the default)
            2.id3v2.3 using id3v2
            3.id3v1 using id3
          Thanks to Adriaan for this patch which fixes issue 101.
        + Support for WavPack added. Closes issue 123.
        + Fix for mp3 encoding with different versions of eyeD3.
          Thanks to Matthias Andree for this patch.
        + Major AAC encoding cleanup, including addition of the fdkaac encoder. 
          Thanks to Doug Mcmahon for assistance with this.

  • abcde (2.6-2) unstable; urgency=medium
    
    
      * Thanks to Andreas/Samuel for the previous upload attempting to fix
        eyeD3 support, but it still seems buggy. :-(
      * Instead, merge the upstream change that auto-detects the
        version/syntax of eyeD3 on the system and uses the right set of
        options. Closes: #776908
