<B>FLAC 0.5 released.</B> This is the first beta version of FLAC. Being beta, there will be no changes to the format that will break older streams, unless a serious bug involving the format is found. What this means is that, barring such a bug, streams created with 0.5 will be decodable by future versions. This version also includes some new features:
<UL>
<LI>An <A HREF="http://userpages.umbc.edu/~mabzug1/cs/md5/md5.html">MD5 signature</A> of the unencoded audio is computed during encoding, and stored in the Encoding metadata block in the stream header. When decoding, <B><TT>flac</TT></B> will now compute the MD5 signature of the decoded data and compare it against the signature in the stream header.</LI>
<LI>A test mode (<B><TT>-t</TT></B>) has been added to <B><TT>flac</TT></B>. It works like decode mode but doesn't write an output file.</LI>

<LI><B>FLAC 0.4 released.</B> This version fixes a bug in the constant subframe detection. More importantly, a verify option (-V) has been added to <B><TT>flac</TT></B> that verifies the encoding process. With this option turned on, <B><TT>flac</TT></B> will create a parallel decoder while encoding to make sure that the encoded output decodes to exactly match the original input. In this way, any unknown bug in the encoder will be caught and <B><TT>flac</TT></B> will abort with an error message.</LI>
