Changelog

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.

    + Details of abcde's handling of faac compiled with and 
      without mp4v2 added as a new entry to FAQs.

      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.
