<B>FLAC 0.10 released.</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;This is probably the final beta. There have been many improvements in the last two months:
<UL>
<LI>Both the encoder and decoder have been significantly sped up. Aside from C improvements, the code base now has an assembly infrastructure that allows assembly routines for different architectures to be easily integrated. Many key routines have now have faster IA-32 implementations (thanks to Miroslav).</LI>
<LI>A new metadata block <A HREF="format.html#def_SEEKTABLE">SEEKTABLE</A> has been defined to hold an arbitrary number of seek points, which speeds up seeking within a stream.</LI>
<LI><B><TT>flac</TT></B> now has a command-line usage similar to 'gzip'; make sure to see the latest <A HREF="documentation.html">documentation</A> for the new usage.</LI>
<LI>The -# options in <B><TT>flac</TT></B> have been tweaked to yield the best compression-to-encode-time ratios. The new default is -5.</LI>
<LI>The WAVE reader in <B><TT>flac</TT></B> now just ignores (with a warning) unsupported sub-chunks instead of aborting with an error.</LI>
<LI>Changed the XMMS plugin to send smaller chunks of samples (now 512) so that visualization is not slow.</LI>
<LI>Fixed a bug in the stream decoder where the decoded samples counter got corrupted after a seek.</LI>
</UL>
It should be a short hop to 1.0.
