- and yet even more!
Changes in winLAME 2009 beta 1 :
• In the last years I made some additions and changes to winLAME and fixed quite a few bugs. I decided to occasionally release a new version with updated libraries and bug fixes when I have time. Therefore winLAME got a new naming scheme. The year of release will be appended to the version name, and there will be a beta, a release candidate and a full release version for each version released.
- Updated encoding/decoding libraries: LAME 3.98.2, libsndfile-1.0.19 (fixes security vulnerability, see Secunia advisory SA33980), libvorbis 1.2.0
- Support for reading/writing ID3v2 tags from/to .mp3 files
- Translatable user interface (english and german, at the moment)
- Full Unicode support for filenames
- Numerous bug fixes (see the winLAME bugtracker)
Important Notes :
- Note that this beta 1 release is not intended for production use! It may contain bugs that may reduce audio quality and prevent some features to be used. Testing is encouraged, though. If you find a bug, describe and add it to the winLAME bugtracker on SourceForge.
- If you previously used custom presets using the presets.xml file, consult the help file for changes according to presets.
- If you're interested in translating the user interface of winLAME, please send me an E-Mail. There's no money to be made, though, only eternal fame and glory :)
