v2.62

Add support on Wavpack-DSD file (requires wavpack v5 DLL).

v2.61

Fix 7.1ch PCE: was incorrectly writing object_type(2) instead of profile(1). AFAIK, this doesn't seem to actually affect decoders because decoders are only interested in channel layouts in PCE, but still it was incorrect, and should be fixed.

v2.60

• Fix: combination of --adts and --concat was generating invalid AAC file.
• Changed 7.1ch rear channel layout in favor of Apple QuickTime.
• Support new Wavpack v5 64bit API
• Update: libsoxr
• Update: taglib

qaac was using 3 front + 2 side + 2 back for 7.1ch rear output. However, it turned out that Apple QuickTime cannot handle this, and only recognizes 3 front + 4 back. OTOH, libavcodec couldn't recognize the latter until this patch http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-cvslog/2015-June/090556.html. Anyway it now handles both, so I decided to change 7.1ch rear layout to 3 front + 4 back, which is supported by both of them.

v2.59

• Fix: Was failing encoding mono AAC to AAC.
• Support Wavpack v5 interface (with large file support)

Wavpack version 5 is still in alpha state, and DLL is not officially provided. If you want to try it, you have to build it yourself from the source code.

This version of qaac supports both of old and new Wavpack DLL (they are binary compatible). When new functions provided in version 5 library are detected, qaac will use them.

v2.58

Fixed: mono files couldn't be encoded to AAC since 2.56.

v2.57

• New option: --tag-from-file. This option is similar to --tag, but tag value is read from a file. Character encoding is guessed, but you can specify it by --text-codepage.
• New option: --copy-artwork. When specified, front cover art is copied from source file. When --artwork is also specified, this option is ignored. Artwork can be resized by --artwork-size.
• Better support of tags in files referred from a cuesheet. Now they are also imported.
• Disallow decoding FLAC file via libsndfile. If you want FLAC, use libFLAC.
• Ogg Vorbis decoding support via libsndfile.

v2.56

• Allow path separators (slash or back slash) in --fname-format, and automatically create directory hierarchy according to the spec given by --fname-format.
• Fixed a typo (--tag:geID tag was ignored because of this).
• Added debugger output.

v2.55

Yet another UniversalCRT compatibility issue. Since 2.52, qaac couldn't read file formats other than WAV on Windows XP.

v2.54

Fix: Since 2.52, qaac has been compiled with MSVC14, and couldn't open non WAV files larger than 2GB, because of the C runtime change on MSVC14.

v2.53

• Add support of AAC decoding in ADTS/CAF container.
• MP4: Fix an decoding issue after seek.
• Add support of SBR/PS decoding.
